Finally got a copy of Bloodlies, can’t wait to read the hundreds of pages of Grover Furr absolutely ripping apart Snyder’s lies.
timothy snyder is such a fucking removed god i hate him
Do you know where i can get Moon Jae-in’s memoir? Is there even an English translation yet?
I wish my parents were into football. I’m watching the UCL final on an online stream because my parents are watching something else
Did your team win?
No
I’m currently in China, hotspotshield isn’t working. I’ve tried connecting to things through tor but a lot of logins don’t work, can anybody help me?
Reminder that if you’re a Westerner and especially a US American and don’t read black, latine, indigenous, etc. revolutionaries, you’re a poor socialist.
The job of an accountant boils down to figure out how to avoid paying taxes / launder money, and it is a highly respected job in our current society 😬
All the Trump shit will do is rile his base and make the dems more complacent, right?
There was an interview on the LA Times, I think (I’m going to look for it afterwards), where the DNC is confident Biden will skate to victory because the court trials will destroy Trump. This is the same mentality that they had in 2016 when the DNC and Hillary for President organizations had when they figured the “grab them by the p%ssy” audio leak would obliterate Trump and they rested on their laurels.
Not to mention Democrats figure they are likely to still win the House and Senate (with even bigger margins) and losing the presidency wouldn’t be the end of the world for them. Especially since they like the thrill of being “the good guys” in contrast to Trump.
Yes Exactly this
what is this book and is this legit or propaganda
The Stalin Cult: A Study in the Alchemy of Power
that title seems like AI lmao
Arguing with zios is so fucking exhausting
I browsed all from my lemmy.ml account this morning and seeing the comments and posts from .world made me feel the same.
Wake up
May 31st
Looks outside
14 degrees and endless rain
in india this week 52 in delhi. Also touched 56 in Nagpur.
I met a woman at the grocery store who wanted to chat. She justified me being out of a job as “ohh you’ll find another you’re a workaholic like me” and paraphrasing "not like all those lazy Poor’s ".
I told her I believe that most are doing the best they can and that we should help those in need if we have the ability too.
She tells me I should read this book “the power of positive thinking” (obviously it’s about gas lighting yourself). I told her I prefer to feel my anger about what’s wrong and direct it in the direction it needs to go to make real change.
She then proceeds to talk about people less fortunate that she has helped. People who can’t care for themselves, her kids who don’t make enough money to pay bills…
Point is:
It’s interesting hearing the contradictions someone has to make to justify the world we live in… Well, to see it in the wild anyway.
I don’t know how likely it is that we can change someone like that’s perspective, but at least folks around us heard the one who is angry is also the positive one and makes good points. Thought I would share some organic praxis I engaged in today
Best of luck out there
So our party keeps joining school debates in which politicians go to school and debate in front of the students. Our reps regularly not beat but just annihilate the competition with like 60% of the student votes ✊🏼
Sounds like the kids are alright.
Almost arrested today at a Palestine demonstration but managed to escape through an alleyway. We were just going to the square where there was an Israel demonstration. But they were at the other end of the square and weren’t even close to us. Demonstrators got closed off by the police at one of the entrances to the square. Then they were arrested.
What happened? Didn’t even know about the protest until I saw vids of police violence (again).
We were marching from the American consulate to the Dam and we were blocked in Kalverstraat, but half of us managed to escape and the others were locked in by the cops and arrested. The rest was supporting the locked in ones by chanting and shouting at the police. But because of this we couldn’t do our counter protest. Like always, no matter how well we protested, the cops won in the end. Although they did need a lot of cops for that. I think that we really need to get more people to join the protests, then there’s a higher chance we’ll win. We should invite other people when going to a protest
If all the cops are at the rally… Who’s at the police station ;)
I’m back, been like 2 months at least, what did I miss here in lemmy land?
id tell you if i wasn’t also gone
everything, you missed everything
Wahhhhhhhhhh
I just added some stickers to my laptop, what do you all think?
LEMMYGRAD STICKER
Really cool! Thumbs up for Lemmygrad, Amarok and GNU Nano stickers ^^
Thank you! The wolf sticker is actually the logo of the Librewolf browser, I had no idea that the Amarok music player even existed but apparently both programs have extremely similar logos.
Well… Both logos involve a wolf and wolves are cool 😎
How many fights have you started with that GNU Nano sticker? Seems like a fun (“fun”?) way to make new friends and enemies.
Zero so far because I mostly use this laptop for trying new distros and it has barely ever left my house. If I did take it outside it would be extremely unlikely for anybody to mention it because I doubt many people in my town even know what a text editor is, let alone GNU nano.
wait we have lemmygrad stickers?
Actually, we do. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1194056
No I printed the sticker myself. Selling Lemmygrad stickers is a good idea though.
We have stickers. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1194056
Those are prole wiki stickers. As far as I know no one is selling Lemmygrad stickers.
Oh. Right. That is correct. Fuck lol
OMG new Łumało pfp. Cute boy
(I have no idea who Gunther is, I am just using him for his reaction)
Say that again
What do u use to print stickers?
I put all of the stickers I want in a document and then print it off on sticker paper like this: https://uk.onlinelabels.com/products/eu30165?src=dlc-117. You can laminate the stickers to prevent damage if you wish
