Happy Pride, everyone in the world is now gay for one (1) month
Please don't let me be straight in a month
Finished converting my van, spend a few days in a food forest in the middle of nowhere. Had a nice time.
Back to the real life now though.
I hope you all have a nice pride month :D
You too Oppo!

The Dutch government has collapsed. At this point I don't see it as something positive. The next cabinet will probably be just as shitty
liberal democracies working as intended, they melt in order to give room for the "far-right".
Dumb shit will come out of it but I do enjoy the meltdown on the right
We might actually get a Wilders 1
A 62 year old man attacked a hijab wearing girl in my city today. Her brother and friends tracked the dude down to his house and attacked him for it. The brother got stabbed.
Somehow Reddit dudes find a way to blame the woman for all this.
redditoids will always blame opressed minorities
Is that time of the year again.
Hehe
Libs are gonna have a field day with this one
Losing my password to the old account here actually tanked my mental health. Glad to be back!
Seems like my club is actually going through on signing an Israeli goalkeeper. Sad.
Oof, DankZedong
The video of the Marxist Dutch YouTuber LeftLaser about political murderer Volkert van der G is causing some infighting in the online left community and it once again confirms to me that many of these people don't go outside often enough

Quoting Jeffrey Veidlinger’s In the Midst of Civilized Europe, pages 53–54:
Following the economic and military failures of the summer, popular support for the provisional government collapsed. The Bolsheviks gained a majority in the Petrograd Soviet, and on the morning of November 7, Lenin issued a manifesto announcing the overthrow of the provisional government and the transfer of power to the Petrograd Soviet.
[…]
With victory in his hands, Lenin promised a “democratic peace to all nations and an immediate armistice on all fronts” and proclaimed “the right of self-determination” for “all nationalities inhabiting Russia.” Elections to the Constituent Assembly, he continued, would proceed as planned in January.
The Bolsheviks had succeeded in securing power in the Russian capital and immediately set about exporting their revolution to the rest of the former Russian Empire. This meant, first, encouraging workers, peasants, and soldiers to establish soviets and assume power in their own regions; and second, raising a Red Army to conquer by force those territories that resisted.
In Kyiv, the Central Rada refused to recognize the undemocratic Bolshevik coup
(Emphasis added.)
How does an otherwise competent writer manage to contradict hisself within the span of only two pages? Either he deliberately lied to appease a publisher, his hamsterlike brain decided that it was time to say something anticommunist, this was a clumsy attempt to represent somebody else’s point of view, or his definition of democracy is utterly fucked.

you can tell the degree of subservience of a nation to the US by how popular baseball is there.
Tempting thought, considering how baseball is possibly the worst team sport (maybe except polo), but not standing. Total EU bootlicker shitholes with otherwise largely americanised cultures still don't have almost any baseball*, but Cuba have a lot of it (like wtf Cuba, i guess it is the reminder that no one can be based 100% of time).
*There was a moment of seeming hope for baseball in Poland, while in 90's tons of football hooligans started to buy baseball accessories. Turned out they just wanted baseball bats. It would be funny to imagine their trainings though, since for each ball and glove sport shops were selling few hundred bats.
Yep. Cuba disproves this theory.
I’ve been rereading 1491. It’s got a lot of good information but sometimes just slaps you in the face with liberalism. At one point it said Stalin and Mao would be jealous of the Inka’s mass relocations of conquered populations.
Not the first, neither the last time it will happen. The Peruvian Marxist-Leninist thinker José Carlos Mariategui used to refer positively about Incan times, where, in his opinion, the natives would practice primitive communism, with a somewhat collective ownership of the means of production until the arrival of the Spanish, who would conquer the natives and implement feudalism in Peru.
edit: at least, its that what i remember from reading his 7 Essays.

There's an expected threat on a subreddit about criticism of a certain Christian sect. I might start asking everyone out there to give Lemmy a try.
A Ukrainian woman and her daughter were killed here yesterday and online I saw a lot of people falling over themselves to 'save the son' who survived. Like, all of a sudden people felt the need to express solidarity. And the killer should be caught asap!
Anyway turns out the son killed them. He confessed today.
Bought some disc golf discs. Excited to start playing

Happy Pride Month! Enjoy the rest of the month!
Watched Adolescence on Netflix today. Very interesting and very sad to watch really. Could it be clearer and could it go deeper into toxic masculinity? Sure. But I feel like it was a very real and disturbing display of how a typical suburban guy can become what the show portrays. It's scary how I could even see things about my own life in there even though I became a well adjusted adult.
Though I see criticism from women online and I can really see the points they try to bring across. Makes me wonder who the series aims at as a target audience. I think, as a man watching it, it can be a good reflection for other men to show the danger of toxic masculinity. Though I must say it does so without any deeper dive into what that is exactly.
