⬆ Socotra Island in Yemen, occupied by the US military

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

Yesterday I was just thinking to myself I wonder if the US has occupied this island

my friends' group chat is talking about Iran's attack and is repeating the "Israel stopped 99% of the missiles and drones, what an overwhelming victory for Israel" shit. I don't have the energy or will to argue with them about it so I'm just ignoring the chat for a while lenin facepalm

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago

Ask them how much $ they needed to stop iranian old drones.

Anti-semitism was born out of the rejection of multiculturalism and diversity that jewish people brought to the different places they lived, a completely reactionary sentiment.

Now it is the israelis that reject multiculturalism and diversity! fucking reactionary shithole that place is, and they have the nerve to claim that they're the real jews.

I did a test to see which party I should vote on and the party that matches with my answers the most is.... the Green party. Which is not my party lol.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago

Since becoming a socialist, my results for those tests have become very unpredictable, which shows you how unreliable they are. When I was a GroenLinks voter, the results for those tests would always be GroenLinks. Those tests don't take anti-establishment thoughts in account

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

Really the only thing most of these tests seem to be good at is having people puzzled and/or laughing at their results.

Tips for engaging with the US Military

if they live by u, like on a base, this is some good stuff to do. I can't confirm or deny if I or my friends have engaged in any of this:

  • feed them dog treats: u can dress up like ur handing out free samples at the mall, and give the service members dog treats. it's pretty fun

  • pretend ur out of gas: this is my personal favourite. somewhere near base pretend to have run out of gas. eventually a bunch of jarheads will show up to help you push ur car, stay inside slightly riding the brake. they'll keep trying, let them, but just like really wear them out. for a fun twist, start ur car after they get exhausted and drive away flipping them off

  • set up online dates with them and then don't show up. this one's just funny and obvious

  • send terrible Grindr guys to their room: only do this to bad guys on Grindr but this is also really funny

How is the month half over? I haven't even started on my work for the month yet. Where did the last two weeks go? I feel like I need to get someone to help me stay on track and focus on my work or something, like a personal manager.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I mean, how is it april already?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

I know right? Feels like 2023 just started a month ago, not 15 months ago.

I really dislike ads, so usually I have them blocked, but not all my devices have it done yet. Usually it's just capital trying to get me to buy things so I just scroll past, but just over the weekend it was scary how quickly ads relating to Iran's retaliatiatory action started popping up with the obvious slant you would expect in the west. There seems to be a concerted effort to start beating war drums... This is not including the horrific ads I've seen coming from Zionists over the last half year with blatantly genocidal language. I even reported those ads and nothing came of it of course.

I guess to sum up: ads can and are used as political tools to shape ideology. Yet another reason to get everyone you know on an ad blocker.

Comrade Xi better explain to me why "beautiful nation" in chinese means USA. whataboutism

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

it’s just phonetic, there is no meaning for it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

That's not what my Chinese textbook printed on the USA says lol

Are they wrong? America is a genuinely gorgeous country who’s natural beauty and diversity is incredible.

Everything else? Well….

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Let’s say for argument’s sake that Genocide Joe is too worried about reelection and decides to actually not send direct American assistance. Isn’t “Israel” potentially biting off way more than they can chew?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I guess that depends on who would ally with Iran. I think Israël vs Iran would be somewhat of an even match, but a coalition between Iran and other (Arab) countries might be too much for them. But then again Israël has nukes so...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Other than nukes, here's hoping isn'treal/US is too depleted to risk a confrontation with Iran. They've been careful with Hezbollah, so they must know they can't handle Hezbollah + Iran simultaneously. But of course part of me wishes they'd go for it and collapse.

Are Northern academics under pressure to fill some sort of anticommunist quota in order to appease their publishers? That would at least explain why they have to shoehorn in their dissertations these irrelevant potshots at communism, even when they’re self‐contradictory like this.

Did we give the Jewish populations back their stuff before June 22, 1941? Or did we dispossess them only a little bit? Which one was it?

I think I'm finally doing this "touching grass" thing people talk about, I just got an e-bike a few days ago so I'm finally able to get out of the house in a meaningful capacity since I can't drive and I'm horribly out of shape, this lets me get around to places I need to go somewhat comfortably on my own while still letting me get a decent amount of physical activity (certainly far more than the near-zero I got before)

I've done a few trips just for fun and it's nuts just how much more you pay attention to and enjoy the environment compared to in a car, but today I did a grocery run and it was also very practical, I got a decent pannier bag I can clip to the bike that can be used as a shoulder bag or backpack and it holds a pretty decent amount

The weather seems broken the past few days. Every day seems to contain every know season and weather condition. Rain, cold, then a warm sun, then thunder, hail, wind and storm. And then I have a headache all day because of seasonal allergies and thunderstorms combined.

I have been thinking about this incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93U.S._RQ-170_incident and how Obama's imperialism and spying was the gift that gave us modern stealth Iranian drones.

Iran - Israel is a distraction. Don’t fall for it. Palestinians are being massacred. Recently ISIS targeted palestinian bus in syria.

Watching the Champions League and its nice to see that comrade @[email protected] features significantly on the advertising hoardings

When my team was playing Champions League earlier this season I was in the stadium and had a small laugh when I saw OPPO plastered everywhere

LMAO.

  1. Having in mind its decision to secure a balanced representation of Korean opinion, the Sub-Committee, [...] decided to invite to a hearing the following representatives of leftist groups:
    Haw Sawng Taik (Chairman, Federation of Korean Trade Unions)
    Huh Hun (Chairman, South Korea Labour Party [Formerly Communist party])
    Kim Won Bong (Chairman, People's Republic Party)
    Paik Yong Hi (Chairman, All Korea Farmers' Union)
    Yoo Yawng Choon (Chairman, Women's Democratic Alliance)
  2. Taking account of the fact that the above persons were either in prison, under order of arrest, or under some form of police surveillance, the Sub-Committee approached the United States authorities with a view to securing an appropriate grant of immunity which would enable them, if they so desired, to accept its invitation to a hearing. [...]

[Emphasis mine]

I think I have some guilt over going to Eurovision in Concert. I don't regret it, but feel like I have to make up for it by going to pro-Palestine protests. I've added a few actions to my agenda
