    Amsterdam police are cracking down violently on pro-Palestine protestors on Dam Square who are protesting against the way the Maccabi hooligan situation was treated. They are even arresting journalists. And they are blocking the square so no protestors can leave, even the ones who were at the edge bc they didn’t want to be in danger. I’m safe, I didn’t go.

      Is your dad one of the willingfully ignorant person who use redefinition of words to conclude that successful example of Marxism are success of Capitalism? Did he even know about the actual definition of Communism? I know that my abusive ableist family had fled mainland China before the Communist takeover to continue their toxic authoritarian tradition from the Chinese warlord period, but my family now praise the mainland Chinese government for their leadership to the current prosperity of China despite their hatred of Communism. Is your dad similar in some way?

      Be careful out there folks. There are spanish neo nazis organizing in Valencia. In case your team needs an idea on how to identify them, some of them are wearing shirts like this one:

      Wish you the best! Valencianos need a lot of help.

    There’s this news article going around about how DPRK soldiers in Ukraine are ‘gorging on porn’ because they can now access the internet. The proof? ‘A usually reliable source tells me that…’. That’s it. That’s the source. And of course people accept it as the truth.

    I just had someone who was apparently a part of Operation Prosperity Guardian reply to me on reddit really mad that I made fun of the two US pilots who bombed Yemen and later died in a jet crash in the US. I told them if I were flying the jet it wouldn’t have crashed lol

      if I were flying the jet it wouldn’t have crashed

      Yeah, same, cause i would’ve landed it in Yemen, asked for asylum, and told them to give the plane to the Iranians or Russians to reverse engineer. Really the only moral thing that a US pilot can do, short of kamikaze-ing their plane into the nearest US warship.

        ah I was referring to the plane in which they crashed, which was in Washington state during some kind of training mission or something. I agree with the spirit of your comment though

    Another week.

    Ever since the elections finished over here I am in some sort of political pause it seems. The party hasn’t really communicated something in the last few weeks and I haven’t heard from my group either. I get that in a year with two elections, who are now done, a pause was necessary but idk it’s not like things have stopped. Get back to work I’d say.

    The strange thing is that I just sort of forgot too. Like, it was only last night that I thought about the party work in weeks.

    In the meantime life is great actually. I finally settled in my new office and I feel really welcome. Made some new coworker friends who invite me to do stuff. Gym is going great and I am on a roll the last few weeks after working out from home for over a year. I eat healthy. Haven’t had a drink in months. I feel calm and at peace for the first time in over two years I think. I got some nice things planned.

    Not really sure why I write all of this. But I guess I had to get it out somewhere. I was sitting on my couch last evening thinking about how I truly feel happy for the first time in a while and it feels nice.

    Though I do hope party work starts soon.

    So the RCMP (Canadian federal police who love to harass and destroy the lives of Indigenous communities) intend to use social media to basically trap “extremists” in Canada. That might be cool if there were some kind of criteria and accountability to communities. But with the “victims” of Communism memorial and what not, it will definitely be used to beat down protestors trying to stop pipelines etc., and protect the ruling class from any workers movement.

    Plus we have a wet noodle fascist that will likely be prime minister next time around so… Yeah

    I said ‘death to Israel’ on my country’s football (soccer) sub and I got a warning from Reddit lol.

    I should have just said that ‘at least Tel Aviv is a progressive place! They have gay prides!’ like the other comment.

      i said “Israel loves genociding and funding genocides”, which is obviously factually true, and it get removed on tiktok (which is controlled by the feds)
