    Do the hasbara ghouls not realize how strange they look when they automatically spew all the talking points on Hamas/Oct7 whenever they’re confronted about Israel? Like do they think they look smart parroting these talking points as fast as possible? 😂

    Look at the recent adam friedland interview, the guy sounds like a NPC lmao.

      accused of trying to return home with a trove of sensitive research

      sensitive research

      His work, which focused on research for a breast cancer vaccine, made him an employee of the state of Texas.

      They make it sound like he was stealing government secrets, when he was just trying to help people not die.

        Yeah that’s how I’m reading it too. He may have been spying but it was definitely not on behalf of the CPC

    I haven’t drank alcohol for a year now today, which I guess is somewhat of an achievement.

    I hate the way the murder of a 17 year old girl has been hijacked by right wingers purely because the suspect is a migrant. At yesterday’s Ajax match people paid a tribute to the girl in the 17th minute and some Ajax hooligans felt the need to raise Dutch flags in the form of a cross. Absolutely disgusting behavior. Online you keep seeing things like ‘migration stop’ over and over again. We have had several murder by a Dutch dude in the last few years. It is almost always a Dutch guy. But now everyone can blame migrants again.

      As always, a murder by an ethnic minority member is the fault of foreigners and migration, while a murder by an ethnic majority member is the fault of neurodiversity and too little involuntary drugging. Under no circumstances has a “normal, upstanding” white male supremacist person ever committed a crime.

        This scapegoating and lack of accountability is a rampart problems in Parkdale high school of Toronto, Canada, in 2012 with the delinquency by children of victims of Communism, victim privilege of psychopath with Aryan appearance, corrupted racist white men in authority, and scapegoating of high performing well-behaved autistic students who only act in self-defense.

    Two Israeli tourists got beaten down by a 15 year old in my hometown. Media cried antisemitism for days afterwards. Police now released him stating antisemitism wasn’t the case. The guy didn’t even know they were Israeli until he was arrested and brought to the station. Also, the Israeli tourists were being dicks during a paintball game and that’s how the fight happened eventually.

    What’s really funny to me is that a 15 year old manages to beat two Israeli dudes lol.

    Currently, our neoliberal clown government has raised the salaries of corrupt parliament lawmakers by 50 million rupiah (at least 3,000 USD), while half of the population remains poor or low-income. It’s obvious why people are angry, and now We are protesting Againsts it.

    Good Lord, my country is in deep Shit

              And that marks the real indicator for autocracy. When the Liberals accuse Communist governments for human rights violations, they boosted that independent media platforms, mass protests, and anti-government organizations can run freely in Communist countries without repercussion which raise question of allegation of human rights violations.

    For some reason Instagram keeps sending me ads for magic mushrooms lmao. Which are illegal in Belgium btw (not in The Netherlands). I get that I am Dutch and all but you’d think they’d be able to determine my location. Or they don’t care and are willing to sell drugs. Not that I’m against that.

    Calling for a Free Palestine can get you banned though.

      Is it because Liberal politicians do not comprehend the fact that business advertisements are a form of indoctrination? Do they even know that a manipulation of consumer’s demand rigged the free market? The ideological justification for free market is that a private firm will change their products and services to fit the demand of consumers and not that consumers alter their culture to utilize a product or service.

    I got COVID this last week. The symptoms bad as it was before, but I’m SO fatigued all the time & it really lingers more than other sicknesses. Stay safe out there comrades.

    In the meantime I’m binging a show & practicing drawing quite a bit, which has brought me a lot of joy. The first character I ever drew was Luna from Sailor Moon. Now I’m practicing shading & shadows. Now I get why people draw fruit so much when they’re first learning.

    I’m more and more bothered by the gentrification in my part of the city. More and more rich middle class or upper class white people are moving in and the poorer, mostly poc inhabitants have to move away. This is why I see gentrification as a form of racism. It was way more diverse just five years ago.

      In Mexico, we have been organizing against it. Some even did an announcement of a protest from a leftist meme page and had an incredible and numerous spontaneous/grassroots participation.

      If you are organized with some comrades, you can give it a try and test the waters.
