my dad, an insane anticommunist, is in love with china he recently discovered how developed china is and wants to visit China lol.

which bring me to ask you, how should i spproach him about their politics, he has convinced himself that theyre “more” capitalist than the US and thats why theyre so developed 😂 its pretty funny because you can find communist iconography in every video

Amsterdam police are cracking down violently on pro-Palestine protestors on Dam Square who are protesting against the way the Maccabi hooligan situation was treated. They are even arresting journalists. And they are blocking the square so no protestors can leave, even the ones who were at the edge bc they didn’t want to be in danger. I’m safe, I didn’t go.

recently attends my two friends wedding (one korean and one russian)

it was fine. but the russian family recently moved to israel to escape russia war?!? i agonised over attending their wedding a lot. but i left early.

The Spanish Communist Party has issued a call to other communist parties in Europe to send help to deal with the floods and our party will send a brigade of volunteers soon

There’s this news article going around about how DPRK soldiers in Ukraine are ‘gorging on porn’ because they can now access the internet. The proof? ‘A usually reliable source tells me that…’. That’s it. That’s the source. And of course people accept it as the truth.

I just had someone who was apparently a part of Operation Prosperity Guardian reply to me on reddit really mad that I made fun of the two US pilots who bombed Yemen and later died in a jet crash in the US. I told them if I were flying the jet it wouldn’t have crashed lol

Another week.

Ever since the elections finished over here I am in some sort of political pause it seems. The party hasn’t really communicated something in the last few weeks and I haven’t heard from my group either. I get that in a year with two elections, who are now done, a pause was necessary but idk it’s not like things have stopped. Get back to work I’d say.

The strange thing is that I just sort of forgot too. Like, it was only last night that I thought about the party work in weeks.

In the meantime life is great actually. I finally settled in my new office and I feel really welcome. Made some new coworker friends who invite me to do stuff. Gym is going great and I am on a roll the last few weeks after working out from home for over a year. I eat healthy. Haven’t had a drink in months. I feel calm and at peace for the first time in over two years I think. I got some nice things planned.

Not really sure why I write all of this. But I guess I had to get it out somewhere. I was sitting on my couch last evening thinking about how I truly feel happy for the first time in a while and it feels nice.

Though I do hope party work starts soon.

I hope you all have a nice week :D

So the RCMP (Canadian federal police who love to harass and destroy the lives of Indigenous communities) intend to use social media to basically trap “extremists” in Canada. That might be cool if there were some kind of criteria and accountability to communities. But with the “victims” of Communism memorial and what not, it will definitely be used to beat down protestors trying to stop pipelines etc., and protect the ruling class from any workers movement.

Plus we have a wet noodle fascist that will likely be prime minister next time around so… Yeah

The fr*nch

I said ‘death to Israel’ on my country’s football (soccer) sub and I got a warning from Reddit lol.

I should have just said that ‘at least Tel Aviv is a progressive place! They have gay prides!’ like the other comment.

my pro-genocide relative voted for kamala lol, at least its consistent

Today is the US presidential election. And everybody online and offline is in the most annoying state of hysteria imaginable.

Since it doesn’t make any difference who gets elected, I think I’m just going to sit back and watch the fireworks.

We’re currently looking for volunteers to moderate a few rooms in the GZD Matrix space, especially those in UTC-1 to UTC+8 (roughly Europe, Africa and the western half of Asia). If you’re interested, DM any of the mods in the space and we’ll send some vetting questions and guidelines.

Tonight my football team plays at home against an Isreali team. Let’s hope my team beats them. Such a shame it wasn’t canceled and that the counter protest was banned. Last night a Palestinian flag was taken from a squatted house by Israeli supporters and burned in the Dam Square. And there are a lot of Mossad agents in the city for ‘safety’
