Have a great week, everyone! We live in uncertain times, so it’s best to stay to your goals, habits, and maintain revolutionary optimism. We don’t have the luxury of nihilism!
As always, communism will win.
Woah I got given a good week message and told to be ny best self and keep my head up, by the “most abusive person on tge fediverse” as selected by mwotg
Cowbee is abusively forcing us to have a good week, how authoritarian of them, the goat was right!
That’s right, I’m evil 😈
I’m joining the Party for Socialism and Liberation. I attended a volunteer event for Greg Levy in Ohio. I am excited to be organizing with them.
Starting a new job today

I’m grieving right now and it’s hard. I never lost someone so close to me before. I’m mostly fine, mainly because of denial, but then it randomly hits me they’re really gone and I break down. I notice that I’m more irritable and fall back on stress behaviors.
I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you recover your spirit after your time of grief.
Grief is like that, it keeps coming back in waves, even years after. Make sure to accept those feelings as a necessary part of healing. All the love, comrade!
According to polls, if there were a vote in Brussels today we would be the largest party with nearly 27% of the votes
Congratulations man, that is really big!
And for the Amsterdam municipal elections in the last poll BIJ1 got 4%, which would mean 2 seats. A big difference with Brussels. But I will vote for De Vonk instead of BIJ1, and they need my vote more, since they don’t show up on the polls yet.
I think De Vonk is a better option. Bij1 is a good party on a lot of points they are still not marxist, so any marxist party should get the focus imo. I hope they can surprise everyone by getting a seat.
The Netherlands is so individualistic that family bonds are becoming less strong. I haven’t seen my cousins (except one) in a coupke of years. One of them has a one year old child which I’ve never seen. It doesn’t help that we all live in different parts of the country, but still I feel like this wouldn’t happen in communist countries
My family is kinda the same but in Mexico. Idk i’ve never felt any bonds with them and we lived in a small town. This is particularly noticeable on petit bourgeois families and above, meanwhile families from a poor background are much more united.
Really the amount of rich families i’ve seen getting torn apart because of property issues is kinda funny. And they are the most vocal supporters of family first slogans.
Its similar for me as well
Soon will be the beginning of our celebrations. Soon the empire will finally collapse.
Chuck Norris is dead. I knew he shouldn’t have gotten vaxxed.
There’s this dude at my job who has a son that has been recently diagnosed with autism and he says he doesn’t know how to handle it properly yet as he has no experience with autism. The other day I caught him changing his shoes mid day because he bought new shoes and said ‘yeah I always do this as I have troubles with getting used to new shoe feels often’
My friend, I may have some news for you
The amount of people who are autistic without realizing it is staggeringly high.
Hell, I didn’t realize I was autistic for years upon years until I started learning about what autism is and realized I ticked most of the boxes lol.
I realized my dad is autistic like a year ago. I don’t know if anyone else has figured it out.
Gate 9 Ultras from Nicosia
I was not expecting to see that… especial on a stadium sponsored by McDonalds, yet it has made my day
🫵 You WILL have hope, comrade.
Honestly, as much as men swinging right concerns me, i am given a lot of hope by the amount of women who are going further left.
inshallah transfeminist communists take over the world
Wallahi my sleep schedule is cooked
I finally deleted all the social media apps off my phone because my ADHD leads me to use that effortless means of dopamine instead of genuinely fulfilling things and it just got so absurd recently
Im working on a map project for the near future (2050) if anyone has any cool ideas for countries and such in that scenario lmk
Have a good Monday comrades and here’s an Evil for morale
That sounds cool! Mind explaining a bit more what you mean? Is it what you think the world will look like in 2050 or more just fun hyptotheticals that are unlikely? The sobering reality is industrialized society as we know it might not exist by then.
It’s somewhere in between, I want it to be very grounded but also still considering some of the crazy shit that’s entirely possible.
To be brief, it’s basically like Cyberpunk + The Fire Rises (HOI4 mod) + Pantheon, it’s a recovering post collapse world where most of the recovery is being facilitated by AI.
It’s sort of like post cyberpunk, maybe urban solarpunk? If you lived in the US you wouldn’t have access to the same luxuries of globalization anymore, at least to the same extent, infrastructure would be crumbled, there would be no federal structure, but communities would still make do and build on top of the ruins of capital. Whereas cyberpunk is high tech low life this scenario would be high tech high life but no fucking infrastructure
I’ll finally visit Beijing in July. I’m currently waiting for my invitation letter for adding to my visa application. And I have to buy plane tickets while I can; their already unreasonable prices will skyrocket after the current conflict ends.
In the 2000s I was a patriot and I saw America’s apparent invincibility and it made me happy.
In the 2010s I was a patriot and I saw America’s apparent invincibility and it made me sad.
In the 2020s I am no longer a patriot and I see America’s actual vulnerability and it makes me happy.
It’s been a wild ride.
