I hate how Ukrainian nationalists claim that communism was forced on them by the Russians, even though Ukrainians were just as much part of the Soviet Union as the Russians. Ukrainians built up the Soviet Union as well, but to them it's all Russian imperialism. Seems very insulting to their own countrymen to be honest. Do they forget Brezhnev was from Ukraine?
The ukranian nationalists were the reactionary forces of the region, you can bet they have their origins on aristocracy and the early bourgeoisie, so of course they claim they got wronged.
Khrushchev and Chernenko too. And depending on how you see it, Trotsky too.
I had a dream last night where I made a post here about how showers were authoritarian without elaborating any further and it got so unpopular that it had 120+ dislikes and I almost got banned.
Okay hear me out, shaming people for showering less is ableist and poverty/houseless shaming, not everyone is able to shower consistently and like most people who don't shower very often would want to have the ability to shower more, like there's obviously depression and if you live with conditions where you can only have enough to drink any drop of water after that will be split on cleaning yourself and your clothes and you can't do only of those or you'll still smell bad anyway.
and if you live with conditions where you can only have enough to drink any drop of water after that will be split on cleaning yourself and your clothes and you can’t do only of those or you’ll still smell bad anyway.
Shower with your clothes on. Bonus points if you piss in the shower too. It saves water! #SaveTheTurtles #Kony2012
Household bathrooms are bourgeois and cause alienation. Under communism, we shall all visit the communal baths to build solidarity.
Bit idea: horiffic dystopian imperialist army but they're cutting corners everywhere, like instead of having prosthetic super soldiers they just cut their feet and replace them with wooden pegs
Imperial Guard and Navy in warhammer 40k do that sometimes. Higher ups and nobles may get proper bionics, but rank and file? Shit outta luck
Also happens in Starship Troopers. All the veterans are missing limbs and are confined to wheelchairs, crutches, arm slings; as prosthetics are all but unheard of because they are perversely proud and happy to have gotten their disfigurements and disabilities.
i crack laughing each time i see the Engels quote about authority "have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution??" Its so funny
Do you guys wonder if they allowed Navalny to run against Putin, and Putin got 55% of the vote while Navalny got 45% of the vote; would liberals still laugh, cope, and seethe at the “rigged Russian elections”? Despite that being identical to how western elections look?
He rigged it and made it seem like it was equal to make it seem like he didn't rig it
Yes.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
You never miss the opportunity do you?
you too
give my regards to the other Chinese phone manufacturers

It's 9th March, 62nd anniversary of Algerian ceasefire day, I knew that because there's flags everywhere today, can't stop thinking of Gaza.
"It's [future date], 62nd anniversary of Palestinian liberation. I knew that because there's flags everywhere today, can't stop thinking about the fall of Western imperialisme." - some day in the future
"It's [future date], 62nd anniversary of the fall of Western imperialisme. I knew that because there's flags everywhere today, can't stop thinking about global communism.' - some day in the future future
"It’s [future date], 62nd anniversary of the establishment of Global communism, I knew that because there’s red flags everywhere today, can’t stop thinking about automated space communism"- some day future future future
I'm watching a Dutch show about people buying a house without looking at it first and the current people participating is a gay couple and a woman who have a child. They are one family. Talk about breaking taboos!
Anyway, my native flower steeds I planted outside my window are starting to sprout 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Rwanda with the support of the west is backing terrorists that have caused the displacement of tens of thousands of people from the Congo, this is not getting covered in media...
Apparently comrade Yogthos got banned from WorldNews@lemmy.ml. Couldn't handle the facts, I suppose
They hated him because he spoke the truth
How's everything going comrades? I'm feeling good for the first time in a while.
Took my cat to the vet just now. She had dental issues, so we went to get it checked with a dentist. Dentist said it's tooth resorption and can't be cured, so she needs surgery. Which will require sedation. And since she's overweight, sedation will mean intubation, because she wouldn't be able to breathe otherwise. Wish her luck.
The news in Belgium today for some reason started a live blog on Ukraine again. The headline said, in big letters: PUTINS WANTS TO DECLARE WAR ON NATO.
Needless to say it scared the shit out of me. Here I was thinking Russia may actually do it because of the way it was phrased. But it turns out it was just a US think tank that said it.

there should be a tagline that reads ""I hope you have a nice week" -Oppo"
we're limiting it to serious quotes at the moment, but this would naturally be a top contender under other circumstances
Youtube search officially fkn sucks. (or they might be censoring). I wanted to search for world economic forum video made by mintpress news. if i type ‘mintpress news world economic forum’ it never shows up. i had to find it from their youtube channel. anyway you should listen to this
yet another reason to use Invidious, the first search result on yewtu.be is the video in question
Long link, it's also tracking you or someshit
