I know we have a lot of Statseian comrades on here, especially now after the deprogram sub ban, and this might be controversial to say, considering the state of the place over the past day or so, but I really don't care about Charlie Kirk enough to see how it warrants this much meme posting when there is so much other concerning shit going on at the moment.
It makes me wonder if there is a concentrated effort by the powers that be to latch onto this story and push it to the forefront of western discussion to distract from something actually important, like Poland potentially triggering war with Russia, or the fact that the civilian aid flotilla to Gaza has been getting relentlessly firebombed, or that theres a color revolution in Nepal underway right this moment.
I was hoping to find some discussions on these things from a socialist standpoint, but it's wall to wall kirkposting so far. idk, seems fishy.
I'm pretty indifferent to this type of US domestic drama, but i think a day or two of discussion is fine, we can allow our comrades from the US that much as a treat. But yeah, after that the news cycle needs to move on, there are much more important things happening in the world.
Yeah, honestly I agree. I mean I kinda get it, but it's a huge amount of posting for a (relatively) minor event. I logged in today mostly to see if anyone was talking about Poland and I was met with a barrage of posts about a guy in the US getting shot. I dunno, I'm not convinced he deserves the fanfare.
Yeah, exactly how I felt. I was thinking "damn, Israel just bombed Qatar, I'd like to see what Lemmygrad thinks", and it's the same meme 50 times over.
I don't even think the Luigi incident got this much when it happened, and imo that was actually more worthy of being memed since it was in a way actually useful as agitprop.
The Kirk noise is going to age like a pointer finger mustache tattoo.
Imo it's a serious event, but i agree that we don't need 100 posts memeing about it.
both japan and france goverments collapsed today lol
should all go as planned, i'm going to be a full member of PSL in the very foreseeable future! it's not much in the grand scheme of the struggle, but working with and connecting with a community of beautiful souls who are genuinely committed to building this thing right here in the backyard of my smallish city has really been something 🥲
It looks like Nepal just "elected" a new leader via a discord vote of 5000 people (total pop. 30 Million). How this is even viewed as a legitimate means of selecting a leader is beyond me.
Yes, that discord app.
Post source in World news! 👀
I have a close-knit group of friends who are all receiving collective death-threats following the actions of what happened with Kirk.
It's been pretty much non-stop. Celebrating the death of someone who has worked tirelessly to dehumanize the people that you love and care about. These fucking inhuman insectoids crawl out of their god-damn filth-ridden holes to threaten your family. The friends of friends suddenly showing their true colors. These people who you never would have imagined, people you barely knew in high-school.
The brown-shirts march. Nothing more than ants.
The Belgian city of Gent cancelled a show of an Israeli conductor. He is also the conductor of the National Israeli Orchestra, and is therefore a representative of the state of Israel. The city festival did not want to give a place to such a representative, and therefore cancelled his gig as they could not 100% conclude that he is against the genocidal actions of his state.
The media framing, however, is that he was refused because he is Israeli. This has led to a lot of 'RACISM!!!' reactions, and discussions about the topic are now endlessly more tiresome than they need to be.
The city government cut down trees in my city to make way for some dumb public transport adjustment despite the neighborhood and experts agreeing that it is not necessary. They went ahead anyway and the neighbourhood protested. A huge police force showed up to intimidatie and abuse the protesters. Our local party leader for arrested and held in captivity for up to 8 hours for whatever bullshit they could come up with.
The government held a city hall meeting the other day and our party asked questions and wanted apologies. The city government just went: 'this is the only way to get things done'.
Now, this is about some trees, but it's concerning how the city sees intimidating and abusing residents as a way to get things done.
I got a new job y'all! Thanks for the well wishes last week. Comes with a decent raise, better benefits, unionized, more predictable schedule, & less job responsibilities. It's also good for a resume builder to get where I want to go in my career. Very happy.
I start my vacation now - my cousin is gonna do my hair & I'm gonna take a nice long day trip on Wednesday. Then I leave the state to visit my best friend for a few days. Things are looking up!
It's really nice to see this board get an injection of life from the shuttering of the DeProgram. It's actually really scary as I had to end up saving a lot of the content about DPRK that was on there. If some of you aren't aware already, we have a wiki of our own! Prolewiki!
Awesome resource for reading about theory, M-L perspective and debunking your typical anti-communist myths, just like the DeProgram had!
In the end I think it's better more and more people can get away from a censored, controlled environment where you can freely speak your opinion on the death of fascists and zionists without a ban. Wasn't it such a smart idea of Reddit to do this?

Hot take: countries that don't speak English natively where they teach children English in school below the age of ten are too Americanized/westernized.
Same goes for countries where they have to have the English translations on all road signs and information signs
i think it's more of a tell that we are literally educated to serve the USian market, not necessarily means that our countries are americanized or westernized. Tho at this point, mandarin should be part of the curriculum too, i would say it's far more important than english at this point since for really 99% of industries, if you want to acquire machinery or some input, you're going to need to get a chinese supplier.
I may have posted on this subject before and forgot, so forgive me if I'm repeating myself, but it really bugs me how common it seems to be for people to be into this idea of "roasting each other / talking shit" as some kind of "love language". I can only guess it is more common in the imperial core because it's such a warped culture to begin with, because I don't tend to see it among the kind of people who'd hang out here (people who are supportive of socialist projects, etc.), and because it just doesn't make sense for social cohesion. But either way, it is bizarre behavior to me and it is tiresome to me being around such people. I understand some people do kink with degradation and under the right circumstances, that's probably fine, but people who are doing that healthily have safe words, they have aftercare, and they communicate about what they're into or not into. A "joke" at someone else's expense that is not funny to the target of the joke is not a joke, it is an insult disguised as humor to be able to play it off as non-confrontational. It is the work of emotionally warped people who have learned to fear sincerity as somehow "awkward." And goddamn, if there is anything the west could use more of, it's actual plain and simple sincerity and less irony poisoned garbage.
So our party has a festival this weekend. But at the same time a neolib party has one too.
For fun I looked up their programme. It includes debates called:
Woke, end of freedom?
What's a human life worth?
5% GDP to defense?
Are young people not willing to work?
What's the government not supposed to take care off?
You can't make this shit up man.
I hope you cast away all your illusions and are prepared for struggle.
There's no real way for me to escape the nuke heavy area so it will probably be over soon
I'm slightly worried about the grotesque over reaction on the Poland incident
Well its because Russa did a thing NATO routeenly does, the rules based order clearly decreed rules for thee and not to me
The army is increasing drills it seems. I was just vibing with my morning coffee when like 5 helicopters flew over, making a lot of noise. A while ago an airplane flew over pretty low. On top of that they accidentally torch natural parks from time to time. Fuckers.
Well it's back to society again after travelling around for nearly two weeks. I spent my time in some pretty isolated places where even my phone's network couldn't reach so apart from some camp site wifi I didn't have any connection to the outside world. Didn't really follow the news either. It was nice spending time away from it all, just focussing on the day and on whether I could surf that day or not. It was an almost spiritual experience to just experience life in a small town surrounded by nothing, vibing with like minded people with not a care in the world.
But back to reality now. On my way back I found myself stopping at a gas station near a large city and it quickly smelled like home again. Exhaust fumes, grease, loud noises, sirenes, honking, etc. I had to eat one of their plastic looking sandwiches, which made me a little depressed.
At home there is apparently a drought. Several bodies of water around our parks have completely dried out. The trees are having a hard time and there isn't really any serious rain around soon. Fun times.
With the news of r/TheDeprogram's demise I went to 
and saw that r/GenZedong is still alive, and I found the legendary Xi Bazooka pic from WION.
Currently reading a great book on communist organization. Still searching for ML connections in the european vassal central. Got a reply but still treading water.
lol lmao
What is a democrat, really? How do you define a democrat? The answer may surprise you.
I just thought it was funny because of how deeply unserious Cenk is.
Whether it be juche or socialism with Chinese characteristics I'm going to support any kind of socialism either way because I know it's the step in the right direction and I feel if you don't you have taken a revisionist stance
Actual conversation I just had on FF.net: "Hey dude, I notice you cut out some chapters of your stories and said they were in other places but they don't exist. Where I can I read your stuff?"
"Oh I haven't posted fanfictions in 10 years."
"What? You just updated them a couple months ago, that's why I'm here talking to you. You probably shouldn't direct your readers to websites that you deactivated."
"Who asked your opinion?"
Then he blocked me. I'm a bit confused.
Some different refugee groups in my city have some sort of war going on for some reason and they get to fight a lot. They use sticks and other weapons and fight in big gangs in the middle of the city. God know's why. Now they seem to have picked up a fight in the city park in the middle of the city and someone died today. Free propaganda opp for the right sadly.
