Enjoy your week comrades. Apparently I did great in my exams for work. The exact results have yet to be decided but I passed according to coworkers.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Exams for work...? Do you have homework too what

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

Basically law studies to do my specific job. And yes they do give me homework lol. It's not that bad. The entire course is seen as work so I still get paid and stuff.

Better than ChatGPT that would probably flat-out avoid the question as it violates "the guidelines" (read: liberal "morality")

A Dutch news outlet posted a story on Instagram about a Dutch-Israeli terrorist joining the IDF and she died due to an infection. They disabled comments on the post lmao.

Watched the ICJ ruling. Wholly disappointing IMO- they essentially gave a "warning" and requested Israel report back in a month. No mention of even the possibility of a ceasefire, no statement as to whether Israel's acts and its government's statements have constituted a genocide, simply a request for Israel to essentially ensure it does not.

The ruling was never going to change Israel's actions anyways (but now it appears it cannot even bring itself to try), but if there is any little justice to be had in this, it is that the court has surely ruled against its legitimacy in all future rulings- maybe they will change their tune in time (doubt it) but there can be no justice to be had in Brussels, just another imperialist farce.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

I laughed because I cought a glimps of the PBS reporting and from what I caught they make it aound the the ICJ made decisive action to stop tthe genocide

Hope we're all having a decent January so far, I've been at odds with my landlord for a while now and I can't do much about it, but the grad keeps me sane in reminding me that I'm not the literal leech on society between the two of us.

Several different businesses in Antwerp started banning Coca Cola from their shops because of their links to Israel

wondering if i should cover the russia ukraine unit or israel palestine unit in my american studies course

i know more about ukraine russia, and have a good reference for info on it (thank you Yogthos). the book is by timothy Snyder, an eastern european turbolib. I want to argue with it so much.

but israel palestine is just a lot more. It would be bad to ignore it, and let liberals have a monopoly on the narrative. the unit is sympathetic but i can already sense 'i condemn hamas' from the unit.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I have some advice but I need more information on the situation before I just ramble for about a page and a half in a none sensical way, what do you mean Cover, as in write your final paper for or post about over here?

Also, I understand how the US plays a role in this, but and ESPECIALY in the Ukraine Russia, how in the Liberal World view are those events being justified in an American Studies Class in the Liberal Worldview.

I'm currently reading, What Is to Be Done? by Nikolay Chernyshevsky. Does the title sound familiar? This novel had a considerable influence on Russian Marxists and particularly Lenin: he read the book countless times, practically knew it by heart, and even named his prominent pamphlet after it. Within the story, we follow Verochka, who escapes the clutches of a controlling mother and an arranged marriage in the pursuit of starting a sewing cooperative. It's a great read so far!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (5 children)

I started it recently, but I’ve only read a chapter or two because I’m reading five other books simultaneously. I liked it so far. I like his “immature” style that seems to have influenced Lenin. I heard all the Bolsheviks knew it by heart and used it as a common language. I’m wondering what could be our equivalent.

Hey, so, is the US going to balkanize or what?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Ok wtf is happening in Texas right now? Apparently the feds and the state government are arguing about who can abuse migrants, and like half the US states are supporting Texas, but I don't know more than this.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

It would be funny if after weeks of European saber rattling about going to war with Russia, the US would go into an internal dispute and be a useless ally.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

I'd love to see a balkanization speedrun (any%) followed by a 4K decolonization longplay

Lemme copypaste what I wrote in another thread -

Texas set up razor wire on the border. Feds want to cut some of it. Texas sued the Feds to ban them from cutting the razor wire and the Supreme Court narrowly overturned the ban that Texas sought. The Feds are being told they can take down Texas' wires but Texas can replace them, only to be taken down again by the Feds. A lot of boba liberals are acting like the Texas Governor is standing against the Supreme Court but all the Supreme Court said was that the Feds aren't banned from cutting wire (so long as it obstructs them? unclear because the entire decision is two fucking sentences).

In my opinion, this is little more than yet another crack in the legitimacy but a lot of people are reading this as a powder keg waiting to explode if Biden doesn't handle this carefully, potentially leading to a secession crisis (which admittedly, would be great).

In short -

Yesterday I was finally able to apply to be a party member and today I have gotten back to work. I am really anxious regarding the geography exam I have to take before university, I feel like every minute is filled with fear until May. At least I have gotten back to reading, I'll try to catch up to the reading group on the long run. Health is fine, thank you for the cheers.

Have a nice Lenin themed week comrades.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the premiere of Hazbin Hotel, I've been waiting for it for years and it's finally here.

Just finished reading Parenti’s Assassination of Julius Caeser, and it was fantastic. I particularly loved his breakdown at the end of the book about the pitfalls of studying classical history and the barriers put in place that contribute to the narratives around it formed by “gentlemen historians” over the centuries.

So Ukrainian refugees have get togethers in my city every Sunday and you'd think they'd be able to hide the fascist flags during those but nope they are there
