Comrade Xi better explain to me why “beautiful nation” in chinese means USA.
Are they wrong? America is a genuinely gorgeous country who’s natural beauty and diversity is incredible.
Everything else? Well….
it’s just phonetic, there is no meaning for it.
That’s not what my Chinese textbook printed on the USA says lol
some cringeass quisling must’ve come up with the word

will they go through this?
⬆ Socotra Island in Yemen, occupied by the US military
Yesterday I was just thinking to myself I wonder if the US has occupied this island
Let’s say for argument’s sake that Genocide Joe is too worried about reelection and decides to actually not send direct American assistance. Isn’t “Israel” potentially biting off way more than they can chew?
I guess that depends on who would ally with Iran. I think Israël vs Iran would be somewhat of an even match, but a coalition between Iran and other (Arab) countries might be too much for them. But then again Israël has nukes so…
so far it seems the u.s. is happy to take advantage of the situation (iran), which isnt a good sign. another aspect is private contractors, which can apparently be deployed with less oversight. 😓
Other than nukes, here’s hoping isn’treal/US is too depleted to risk a confrontation with Iran. They’ve been careful with Hezbollah, so they must know they can’t handle Hezbollah + Iran simultaneously. But of course part of me wishes they’d go for it and collapse.
My guess is the rabid dog is going to do its rabid best, its going to cause horrible suffering more but, it is just accelerating its own demise, and I’m telling myself that this course of violent self destructive death throes will actually in the long term end up saving more innocent lives across the world.
Israel is completely fucked and irrational to the point that it can only be described as suicidal. The U.S. is too it just hasn’t entered its unbridled burning madness stage. How could you be the pinpoint of evil on humanity and not be suicidal after all.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
Bless

At least it’s the beautiful hilly part of the country and not the ugly polder part
No, you! :3

raccoons these days have no respect smh
Counter argument raccoons are the best animal
that is a factually incorrect statement and thus I will disregard it
Raccoons are the true proletariat animal stealing from rich people and eating from trashcans
I’m not saying they’re not in the top 10 but claiming that the only clade of large semi-aquatic rodents is not number one and the vanguard of the revolution in South America is unacceptable in this community and may lead to harsh measures
I did a test to see which party I should vote on and the party that matches with my answers the most is… the Green party. Which is not my party lol.
Really the only thing most of these tests seem to be good at is having people puzzled and/or laughing at their results.
I got green the last time I did it as well
Since becoming a socialist, my results for those tests have become very unpredictable, which shows you how unreliable they are. When I was a GroenLinks voter, the results for those tests would always be GroenLinks. Those tests don’t take anti-establishment thoughts in account
i can’t be the only one that thinks that taylor swift music is AI generated recently right?
Personally, I’m pretty sure Taylor Swift is a federal agent at this point. So her new work being AI generated would be a hilarious cherry on top.
💀
I really dislike ads, so usually I have them blocked, but not all my devices have it done yet. Usually it’s just capital trying to get me to buy things so I just scroll past, but just over the weekend it was scary how quickly ads relating to Iran’s retaliatiatory action started popping up with the obvious slant you would expect in the west. There seems to be a concerted effort to start beating war drums… This is not including the horrific ads I’ve seen coming from Zionists over the last half year with blatantly genocidal language. I even reported those ads and nothing came of it of course.
I guess to sum up: ads can and are used as political tools to shape ideology. Yet another reason to get everyone you know on an ad blocker.
I always like seeing what the enemy is doing but at the same time it is energy vampirism having to witness all the repetitive dogshit they force down your throat from every fucking direction I HATE BILLBOARDS I HATE ADS I HATE COMMERCIALS I HATE BANNERS I HATE FLYERS I HATE SPAM I HATE LOGOS I HATE PRODUCT PLACEMENT I HATE SIGNS I–
Not to be melodramatic but I think whatever was left of our Democracy just died today. The new defense bill went through, meaning Billions of dollars to our satellite countries, including Nazi occupied Ukraine, and the remarkably unpopular Israeli regime. The TikTok ban just got pushed through, which has a lot of language that basically means the US government has just severely limited free speech online.
The democracy we have is because of the proletariat, not because of the leaders.
We should continue to fight for our democratic rights, including privacy, which seems underrated nowadays.
This week had an extremely good start! 🇮🇷🇵🇸🇸🇾🇱🇧🇾🇪🇮🇶
Do you believe in this entire discourse?
He states that from his credibly asian sources, that Israel planned to detonate tactical nuke mid air (EMP) to bring down Iran’s electric grid but got shot down/intercepted by Russian Air Force.
You will see no one covering this

follow up (claims another source)
Pepe is a weird fella, he has been a guest at Hudson/Desai podcast sometimes and does come off as a russian simp, even to me that i critically support Russia. So it might be entirely possible that this is just propaganda but then again he mentions Sy Hersh, i think we can say that he is a very trustable journalist.
If Sy Hersh confirms this, i will believe it. It is not unconceivable that Israel wanted to nuke them, or that they would hide the failure.
Edit: btw scott Ritter claims its wrong, Pepe answers it by doubling down, wtf is going on 🥶
there are still several unknowns. wouldn’t an operation like this involve more than one fighter, did the RAF shot down more than one? what are they even doing there in the first place?
Tell me more - who is “RealPepeEscobar” and why do we trust them?
pure fanfiction nonsense
How is the month half over? I haven’t even started on my work for the month yet. Where did the last two weeks go? I feel like I need to get someone to help me stay on track and focus on my work or something, like a personal manager.
I mean, how is it april already?
I know right? Feels like 2023 just started a month ago, not 15 months ago.
