If the 5–6 million Jews that the Axis massacred were exclusively anti‐Zionists, then Zionists would immediately and unhesitatingly hail all the Axis powers and their collaborators as heroes.
You know it’s true.
Pretty sure many of them were. I.e. Litvaks in Vilnius
Correct! But the Axis also liquidated Zionist Jews when they were no longer useful, and for Zionists that was the point where the Axis went too far. Even killing a single Zionist Jew would have been too much. If all 5–6 million—without exception—were confirmed anti‐Zionists, though? No big deal.
Finally got around to giving a proper chance to this moderately trashy urban fantasy novel my friend has been bugging me to read for over a year and I got so hooked, already on the sequel. Been so many years since I’ve read something that isnt political/economic theory or history, its like I have cleared some kind of mental block. Highly recommend to try reading not serious stuff sometimes if you’re like me and have struggled to enjoy that shit.
I so fucking badly want From Prisons to Educational Institutions translated. It looks so interesting, the pictures in it, the stuff found in Russian Justice (which uses it as a source). … Does anybody have a cars price worth of money to throw at translating this thing?
What’s the original language? Russian?
Yup.
От Тюрем к Воспитательным Учреждениям by A. Vishinsky
How does… От become Om? Am I the only on this is happening to? От is От
Edit: This is only happening on one of my computers, apparently it’s this specific browser or font.
Russian cursive has lowercase т look like m. It’s a thing
It’s… certainly a thing. Wild.
just found out my hometown is supplying drones to israel terrorists
Putin must go
Who must go?
It’s official, the CIA agent Navalny is no more.
What? Did that bastard finally die?
Yes!
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
I’m told this is the ‘end of politics’ in Russia, meaning that political change in Russia is ‘no longer possible at the ballot box’. Wtf are libs smoking?
I’m surprised they attribute such legitimacy to Russia’s electoral process in the first place, a true to heart lib would think the elections are thoroughly rigged
If it were possible to interrogate the writers of what I might start calling pulp news, you’d probably find exactly that. Libs aren’t interested in consistency, though. Other than consistent allegiance to the paymaster. This turn in the propaganda is another attempt to keep up the hatred, the fear mongering, and that big MIC money rolling in. The underlying message here is, ‘We tried but we’re left with no opportunity; Russia is simply so unreasonable, so uncivilised, the west has no choice but to find any way to dissolve the federation to bring democracy.’ But you’re right, they literally turn the same direction every week as if they tried to do it any other way the week before. They know the readership successfully underwent it’s mind-wipe over night, ready for a new short term history to be written every the morning.
watching israel propaganda on korean tv is fkn insane
Please tell me more
They have an announcement from IOF officer/leader saying that the people in that hospital witnessed hamas and they have to bomb it. lmao. WITNESS. so lame propaganda that shows no proof. (this is old news really)
what do other koreans say about that? Dont they find it weird af?
it’s on tv. i’m sure most young people consume news from online and only older generations look at news on tv.

I am going to become a dad in June for a little girl. Wish me luck, comrades
Congratulations and good luck!
I am scared honestly! My anti communist father in law tells me that I will start abandoning my socialist mentality after I see my daughter born. However, what scares me the most is that I hope that I can provide for her in midst of this capitalist hellhole country. Sorry comrade, I am ranting a little bit but it is so difficult to talk to people about my situation.
It would be a lie to say I knpw what you are going through, as I have no children, however 1) do not appologise for ranting, your nervous and scared, if you need someone to talk to I can listen, and I am sure others would too, we are a comunity. 2) yeah anti-communists say that at every major milestone, they assume at some point you will lose your want pf a better society for everyone, and turn inword and want to be the boot that steps on people to get a little ahead, I would not put a second thought to his comment about your beliefs, I am sure if nothing else you will want to see her have the best future possible l, and that is one with a red banner. 3) The worry you are discribing, I would be more conserned if you where not feeling it, or if you felt blesed she was born into capitalism. You are already worried about her and her future, and that is exactly what a father should be doing.
I thank you for your warm response! I really feel at home in this community and I hope that I can learn a ton from you all!
My campus finally took down the pro-palestine stickers that have been up for the last 4-5 months. That feels like a defeat, especially in wake of what’s going on.
welp rip nitter, now i am finally done with twitter.
I used to use the Squawker app on Android. I heard it also withered together with Nitter. I had already quit a month earlier (didn’t have an account) and it has made me feel much better since most of who is left on Twitter are rightist trolls anyway. No regrets.
I just deleted TikTok today since it just wasted my time. Since deleting it, I’ve been practising drumming, although I don’t have a drum pad/set yet.
may the spirit of smug Hossein Amir-Abdollahian comfort you all :3
May the dragon lead us to victory in the final battle.
I mean with the dragons on our side, we cannot loose.

Wait can you just do that?
I have made it to the top, I have become the spiderman meme
As it turns out. Yes, yes I can. I have clearly become all powerfull
Have you prepared a capybara video for when graineater says “you too”?
… no… I have not yet… I guess I need to do that now don’t I
Would you truly be all powerful if you did not?
Good point, I have a video, thank you for reminding me of this.
you eight
I agree with the thesis statement of this video
This is what the bourgeoisie will be reduced to under Capyland
I can admit, this is a better video than the one I had found… and I was sleeping on the job
Don’t worry next time your video will blow everyone’s expectations
