it's unrelated, but i don't know, with everything going on in the world it's kind of super wholesome to me to see that kim jong un seems to get along really well with his daughter. 😭 . like, every other world leader in the west is pedophile (djt has been a weirdo disgusting perv to his own daughter) and kim just seems to bring her around places... and like... hang out with her... idk 😭
he is legitimately a very emotional leader. a breath of fresh air compared to all the other robotic leaders out there.
death and havoc upon those who use x btw
The granddaughter of Ayatollah Khamenei was martyred.
On the one hand it bugs me that you never play as a soviet sniper in sniper elite (despite the fact that the soviets were the most prolific snipers in the war), but on the other hand i appreciate that their tradition is to have a level where you kill Hitler
Chinese people do not want their own government to intervene in Iran for the same reason Americans do not want their government to bomb Iran. The only difference is that chinese people actually have a backbone and a rich history of rebellion against their own governments meanwhile Americans are defeated before they even fight.
i think about sinwar dying with an arm missing, alone in a building, throwing anything he could at the oppressor till his last moment, fighting the imperialist entity's zionist non-entity till his final breath as an old man, and the scarce possessions they found on him including mentos and the quran, as far as i recall, and it is a proud and valiant death. i think of ayatollah dying during the month of ramadan. wow
i miss him like a motherfucker right now, jesus
Just wanted to say, I appreciate the PSAs in the Iran thread about how to handle information and such. It's such an important reminder. @cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml @SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml
And thank you @rainpizza@lemmygrad.ml and others for the work on gathering sourced information.
Stay steadfast. 🙏
Glad that I could help. Not gonna lie but the psyop are getting wild. There are too many zionist bots active even in Iranian channels.
I can't just imagine the amount of psyops comrades are receiving right now.
This is nothing unusual for those of us who have been following the Ukraine conflict since the start. There were times when there was an absolutely insane amount of bots. Russian speaking spaces were (and still are) heavily targeted. Even now there is always some Ukrainian psyop even in "pro-Russian" telegram channels. You can't prevent all infiltrations, but with time and experience you learn to recognize the bullshit.
Right now there is a big blitz of botting and information warfare, but eventually it will calm down and there will be concrete on-the-ground results that will be impossible to deny (like how Ukraine can spin all the tall tales and put out all the deep-fakes it wants, but sooner or later Russian advances get undeniably geolocated). It's why i recommend stepping back and waiting if you are unsure what is trustworthy at the moment.
I watched this video recently talking about how children/teens become "unresponsive" to certain parents as a coping mechanism, where instead of rebelling and trying to argue they just shut down and try to avoid any interaction with the parent.
I wonder if a lot of the world population feels like that today, where they know that the current governments won't change so instead they just shut down fron everything and try to interact with it as little as possible.
I'll link in here but forwarning, the narration is very irritating. I'm not sure what it reminds me of, but whatever it is it's annoying as all hell
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
youre not on the team lil bro 😭
nothing beats the death of a dictator
So when you gonna kill your own?
i sort of wonder what's going to happen if and when the hardline nazis in ukraine find out they've been used as cannon fodder to advance ameriKKKan interests
They'll take their anger out on europe because it is way easier and their american handlers have been telling them that is was all europe's idea to use them to hurt Russia.
Two wars in two days.
I'm kind of surprised this isn't being described as the beginning of world war III.
theres this one blogger (dont agree w him on everything, but he's got a good head on most current geopolitical affairs, including supporting china/dprk as progressive for the world despite blogger not being avowed ML + he’s natohater) who argues world war iii has never ended, since the world has long remained at war in different theaters that in many cases are connected to USA waging war against red threat, so it's really just one long war, USA against all the world and a better future
Would that be indi.ca, or are you talking about a different blogger?
i dont rlly agree w him on everything (i still dk if he’s progressed past the position of calling the soviet union an EMPIRE, which is like, 😭, and he also proselytizes a bit too much about religion for my taste [not bad but i just dont care])
oh yea lol
Rest in peace Khamenei.
In those sermons [Khameini] said, “we must look to bring the ideas and system of Islam out of the realm of pure mental abstraction—like all schools of social thought—by looking at practical responsibilities, especially in the realm of social affairs, and reorienting theoretical discussions to see what their implications are for human life, what their goals are, and what methods they prescribe for meeting these goals.”
this is REAL liberation theology all of u other larpers can get out of here
Although I did share some relevant content, I feel nevertheless that I should apologize to Black comrades for how I underperformed for Black History Month. I had originally envisioned going on a marathon where I would share something daily about Black history, but I kept getting distracted from my goal and I went on researching simply whatever intrigued me at the moment. I don’t know if anyone expects much from me given that I am an individual rather than an institution, but I still feel like I must have let someone down, and I am sorry about that.
Twitter is goin WILD! There is speculation that there was an attack on Iran. Does anyone have confirmation?
I found some pics but I can't confirm.

Confirmed. Israel attacked Iran!
do we know was Iran's Air Defences Compromised this time?
I suspect they used the Growler to deactivate the AD just like in Venezuela
If possible, can you pin this post? https://lemmygrad.ml/post/10864542
It will help everyone available to share updates in there.
Done, I will make a comment on there that it is the meta thread for the event
Crazy there’s people here talkin about this live
holy shit, it’s the guy from reddit, cited by chinese state media
The funniest part of that story is like 30 days later I got permanently banned from that same sub for criticizing Chinese investment in Israel
I am sort of struggling to find a gift for someone and I realised that gift buying would be so much easier under communism. I would no longer need to worry about being deceived into buying a cheaply made expensive, bad product. I would just trust that the person I am "buying" from actually cares about me and the person I am "buying" the gift for.
The Italian crisis can only be resolved through the action of the laboring masses. There is no possibility for the liquidation of fascism on the plain of parliamentary intrigues, only a compromise that leaves the bourgeoisie at the lead along with armed fascism at its service. Liberalism, even if inoculated with the glands of the reformist monkey, is powerless. It belongs to the past.
Neither fascism nor liberalism: Sovietism! by Antonio Gramsci
This was a sign at a anti-genocide rally in NSW Australia the other day:
Have a great week, everyone! Keep up with whatever it is you're trying to do, steady progress yields steady results!
As always, communism will win.
I think I reached a new level of depression, cigarettes and alcohol are doing absolutely nothing. Silver lining is that it'll be easier to quit, I guess.
I hope empire will break their teeth attacking Iran
I hope you all have a nice week :D
