Billions of us woke up today to do some mind numbing profit generating. What a waste of life this system is.

[-] Oppo@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 7 months ago

Have you clocked in yet? How else would we know you really are profit generating

[-] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

My job recently abandoned clocking in. Also, I don't have to generate a profit for the union, so 🤷 Feels much more free than before where every single minute was counted

Of course, my job IS to handle the machine and overview the shifts.

Just an update from my side: yesterday at the meeting they held a little "inauguration ceremony" for me at the party meeting. The party representative from the Capital had given me my little red membership book as well as gifted me a book from our president and a brand new party pin. Our goal this year is to get in the EU parliament to voice the program of people's Europe together with all major European communist parties. Thank y'all for the crossed fingers, the whole event went great! I hope you don't mind me talking about my experiences here.

Kind of crazy how insane the cult of personality around taylor swift is.

I wish I could sleep like this.

This dog does not know a life under capitalism, and someday you will not either, and you too shall sleep like this dog.

I mean with the dragons on our side, we cannot loose.

If the 5–6 million Jews that the Axis exterminated were all confirmed anti‐Zionists, then Zionists would immediately and unhesitatingly hail all the Axis powers and their collaborators as heroes.

You know it’s true.

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 7 months ago

Pretty sure many of them were. I.e. Litvaks in Vilnius

[-] AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Correct! But the Axis also liquidated Zionist Jews when they were no longer useful, and for Zionists that was the point where the Axis went too far. Even killing a single Zionist Jew would have been too much. If all 5–6 million—without exception—were confirmed anti‐Zionists, though? No big deal.

New EU austerity measures force Belgium to make budget cuts of up to 30 billion in the next few years. What a time to be alive.

Tradwife vids are becoming more popular on Dutch TikTok right now. Truly a country that set progress in reverse the last few years.

[-] chesmotorcycle@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 7 months ago

Dutch tradwifes eh? Do they wear clogs while they help their husbands pillage Indonesia?

[-] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

That would make more sense but the influencers just seem to go for a Mad Men 1950s cosplay where they play secretly depressed housewives that drink wine all day

Putin must go

Who must go?

It's official, the CIA agent Navalny is no more.

I know reddit is a mess but Instagram has to take the crown of bizarre comment threads for sure. You could post a picture of a pillow on a couch, no context whatsoever, and people will be fighting about something in the comments. You'd almost think the entire thing is simulated or something.

[-] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 7 months ago

In my experience Instagram comments are even more reactionary than Reddit comments

I just deleted TikTok today since it just wasted my time. Since deleting it, I've been practising drumming, although I don't have a drum pad/set yet.

just found out my hometown is supplying drones to israel terrorists. fuck

My friend sent me on Instagram a video of Jos D'Haese of the Belgian Workers Party advocating for better housing in the Flemish parliament. This friend is pretty apolitical and never sent me stuff like this before. Pretty random as well, since we are Dutch and not Belgian. I hope this is the beginning of him moving to the left.

[-] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 7 months ago

Jos has the ability to actually reach (younger) people. Even one of my friends, who is a VVD politician, said he liked Jos.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 7 months ago

Not worth separate post, but heh.

[-] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 7 months ago

I am not super up to date with Pall world, All I really know is they made some appalling "jokes" about slavery, on their store page, but I know nothing else.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yeah i mostly meant some schadenfreude since some time ago i pointed that out, and some people sadly even from here and hex were telling me to touch grass because apparently jokes about slavery and exploitation are cool (?) when popular game dev make it. Well, it's not as popular now, probably as we speak g*mers are already bashing the game for how boring it is or because they didn't had enough slavery idk.

[-] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 7 months ago

Just making sure that I was not missing more context than "jokes about slavery" and in my book, that was enough to write it off.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Well there were also tons of players playing it exactly because the game isn't any subtle about slavery and being hyped about that in reviews. So i would say that game that prompted such behaviour in both devs and players is not exactly sparkling cool.

[-] Oppo@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Honestly from the very little I saw from gameplay it just looked like a standard survival game with a gimic with the usual twitch hype just for the playerbase to fall and still being in early access 3 years later

My campus finally took down the pro-palestine stickers that have been up for the last 4-5 months. That feels like a defeat, especially in wake of what's going on.
