The media is highlighting our party's plan for the city and we got nicknamed 'Havana near the Schelde (local river)'

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that nickname to insult you guys? Because to me it sounds really nice!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Ngl I like it I just find it funny that we get a multiple episode news articles about us with that nickname. I wonder which nicknames they will give the far right parties. Auschwitz near the Schelde maybe?

The mayor of my city who won big in the national elections wants to do big austerity measures on a national level because they are 'much needed' (read: will only target working class people).

That same mayor is now saying our city's port needs an military air defense system because uhhhh reasons.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Which is funny because our party is on track to become the biggest in the city. Imagine a marxist party in charge of a city with a missle defense system. CIA would never.

Everyday the Russian army is one step further in Ukraine therefore one step closer to Belgium

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's true. And with today's news they found out that Belgium, HQ to NATO, EU, several other military institutions and the second largest port in Europe responsible for a lot of military transport into the continent, has no air defense system.

Noticed that when looking at NATO country armies, y'all are literally living on the fact you won't fight someone who can strike back

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah and Turkey's active and reserve personnel make up 1/6th of the total NATO force. Even more if you exclude the US. And to say Turkey is a reliable ally for the West is doubtful lol.

White people, want wars, but don't want to fight them

First day of semester 5 at university starts on Wednesday! I’m a bit nervous but also excited, I’ve been itching to get back to classes. My Genocide professor from semester 3 will be returning to teach me again in a new class (centred on research techniques), while I believed him when he told me the History department at my uni was stupidly small (he did not use the word “stupidly”) I didn’t realize just how small it was. I’m hoping before my undergrad is finished I can find a mentor, I’d like one before I move schools to do my masters, but if not I’ll have to do with just myself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good luck. It's good to see you hang on despite the expected bullshit from a study like that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks, comrade! It’s going to be an interesting year. For one of my classes I literally have to read the communist manifesto lol so we’ll see how it goes

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I would love to join a left wing, maybe party related martial arts group but so far I have found no support within our party to do so. And I don't know how/don't have the time to start one myself.

But I feel like it it highly naive not to do so. No offense to my comrades but a cute sign won't stop the far right militia, who ARE training as we speak.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I really want to pick up a martial art myself. As a trans woman, I'm interested in some queer gyms that have kick boxing training. But Sanda is a cool martial art as well that I would like to perform, but I don't know how queer friendly the gyms are that have it.

But tbf what's also very important for self defense, maybe even more so, is sprint training. How fast you can run away from cops and fascists matters.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I believe ROOD does the occasional self defence class but I also believe they are Trotskyists. I guess you could still join them for the self defence 😅

Otherwise queer friendly gyms might be difficult. The martial arts world can be a macho masculine one.

I'm falling out of love with football. Still like to watch my teams and a couple of other games, but generally if another important game in another sport is going on I'll watch that instead.

I think I'm becoming a show wrestling (WWE/AEW) fan. Let's see if it's not just a temporary hyperfixation. With my autism you never know

Wait, so did Kim Il Sung actually kidnap a Godzilla director? I remember this being a talking point back in the 00s, like it sounds ridiculous

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Twitter repopularizing the R-slur has really made it obvious how many people are incapable of arguing and will just call you a r-tard once you say something they don't like.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

in damn that's fucked up: matrix stopped working and firefox stopped working, not I have to use chrome ffs

well atleast know I can't doom scroll like most of the sites I use because I forgot their passwords

Who's this Ai Weiwei grifter? Saw him mentioned a couple of times and haven't found a lot here.
