what is realistic death toll in russo ukrainian war?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

According to Reddit: 0 Ukrainians and 800 million Russians

According to real life: no idea. I think official sources aren't giving the exact numbers for obvious reasons as conflict is still going on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 minute ago

Yeah, I doubt that we'd know at this point. We only have estimates, really guess-timates.

Without sharing a source, you're depriving us all of, what I assume is some funny af content.

I think there's a minor typo in the Ho Chi Minh tagline:

If means to study the universal Marxist-Leninist truths in order to apply them creatively to the practical conditions of our country.

I've read that one so many times and only just noticed!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I guess Ho Chi Minh didn't proof read then

As expected my motivation to organize is back after a year of election stuff. Got to a meeting with my local group and I'm excited for our new plans. Guess vouching for electoralism just isn't my thing (what a surprise).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

There's this famous Dutch Instagram page called cestmocro who posts a lot of pro Palestina stuff (among other non political stuff) and the government is seriously considering banning the account. If this would happen in Russia, China, DPRK, whatever we'd scream bloody murder.

Belgian media tried to make a shitstorm about my city's jewish population after what happened in Amsterdam. Antwerp has a very large orthodox jewish population and they live pretty secluded within one of the city's districts.

News reports came out about possible threats to their community which is strange because apart from very singular incidents none of the pro palestinian movement ever targeted them (obviously).

The community now came forward to the press themselves saying that apart from some calls on the street they are doing great actually and that this city is the place to be for them lmao.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

By the way there is an extraordinary falafel place in that district, on the main street, but I have trouble remembering what he thought about Israel and Zionism. This was a few years ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I think you mean Beni Falafel. No idea what he thought about Zionism. He died three weeks ago.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Most of them are Hasidic jews so they don't like zionism either

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

If its anything for you there like my city than the Hasidic/Orthodox Jewish people are probably some of the strongest voices in the community speaking out against genocide in Palestine. Ridiculous propaganda angle to go for, anyone actually involved in street level community would know its bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

who is this guy Dan Bilzerian?

Why is he talking about high jewish people in Bolshevik leadership who killed christians during bolshevik revolution?

is this anti semitic propaganda?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

one of the OG manosphere grifters. he must be a psyop to associate pro-palestine sentiment with anti-semitism because he is exactly that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I forgot he existed. IIRC he was one of the first masculine weirdo's from the start of instagram. Won some money with poker or something like that and started posting pictures with lots of naked women, booze, luxury stuff, expensive hotels, mansions, cars and whatnot. Though I don't recall him talking about things like Tate does for example.

Still a massive shithead though. Had his big thing like 9 or 10 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I remember back in highschool one of my classmate was all about him, even recreating his then iconic black and white profile picture and had it as his for years to come. It was a big disappointment for me, because up until then I looked up to him because of his grades and shit, he won student competitions all over the country, but I guess he had no time remaining to discover how to be a decent human being. Whatever bro, whatever floats your boat. I have no clue what he is up to nowadays.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Wild, I just looked him up again. First two posts are really anti Israel lol. But in a weird 'America first' kinda way. He also apparently joined Tate's entourage (or the other way around). Once a shithead always a shithead I guess.

Can someone add some context to the positive Milei news we are seeing? Apparently the monthly inflation in Argentina is down to 2.5% (annual inflation still 198%) and libertarians are falling over themselves to say he saved the world.

Was looking into options here in my city in Canada recently to take a Manadarin class. Specifically I was looking for beginner courses aimed specifically at english speakers, and was surprised at how limited the options were. Then I remembered that several years ago the government went on a racist tirade where they shut down most of the Confucius Institutes in the country for frivolous (racist) reasons. Very disappointing as most of the current options seem to be more aimed at Chinese diaspora who have a background from home but need to practice. I tried before a Mandarin class that was more similar to this when I used to be in uni and struggled heavily as one of the only non ethnic Chinese people in the course. From what I recall the Confucius Institute used to offer classes geared towards adult anglos similar to the way Alliance Française does, but now that option just seems to be gone. Truly this country sucks.

My back and neck hurt constantly from shrimping all day so I've been doing exercise about it lately, but now they hurt in a different way 💀

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Same. Had backaches because of office work and started training my back more. Now I have backaches but due to soreness lol.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I feel you. I'm at the awkward point where I'm not strong enough to maintain good posture all day so I've got both slouching pain and soreness pain

what’s is this YAKUBIAN? can anyone explain these meme or title?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think it's a belief from the Nation of Islam that white people were created by Yakub because he hated humanity

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

That does have a certain logic to it.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago

I went bouldering today. One of my coworkers invited me to come to his local place and I figured it would be a nice change from my regular gym routine.

It was a super leftie gym. Lots of antifa stickers, pride flags, vegan food and whatnot. I expressed my desire to find leftist gym buddies here before and I think I have found just the place to get some organizing started.

Also, bouldering is tough shit lol.

My apologies to the GenZedong people for interrupting a democratic proces when it comes to the making of the weekly General Discussion post. I was not aware of the system behind the post making and I created one on my own initiative. I shall repent.

This picture is of girls in the Popular Front in Palestine, specifically Gaza, where the anniversary of the founding of the Popular Front Party is held every year in Palestine. This picture is from Gaza specifically in a football stadium called Palestine Home Stadium.Near this place.
