Tomorrow morning the yearly visit to János Kádár's grave will take place in Budapest.
To be able to grasp what he meant to Hungary, consider reading something from him from here:

Or check out what life was like in Hungary during his time with us:
You have me interested. I'll read.
I took creatine for the past week or so and doubled my dose of it in the last three days.
Why am I so angry right now? Very angry?
It's the only supplement I'm taking, btw.
Day #8 of going through the four withdrawals of Guanfacine (lowered the dosage), caffeine pills (now I mostly just drink tea as opposed to the five 200 mg pills I was taking every other day), Lexapro (I'm now taking Zoloft), and vitamins (I was taking more than recommended for over a year, maybe two, and got hypervitaminosis).
I feel... pretty good today!
So femicide is a real problem here. Every other week a woman gets murdered in Belgium, in most cases by a partner or someone close to them. Most of the time for patriarchal reasons.
What's funny to me is that right wingers shout a lot about revenge killing in Muslim communities but remains silent about the dozens of women killed every year by Belgian men.
As I was making the comment above a dude set his wife on fire while being on parole because prisons are too full here
The rich or more wealthy get parole while the dirt-poor don't and are left out sight and out of mind.
More prisons beget more crime, tbh.
Another day, another lazy horseshoe theorist meme raking in thousands of updoots.
This is a perfect example of why I rarely pay attention to these topics anymore. Both the OP’s point and the comments therebelow follow the same script, and it is rare for anybody to show up citing scientific journals, interesting-sounding history books, or even amateur investigators like Moss Robeson.
I can understand other communists being angry at threads like that, but after you’ve seen them so many times you become desensitized and too exhausted to be angry. They’re all so boring.
TIL China has exported greenhouses to Yemen
and the DPRK!!
Never been the biggest vegan activist there is (despite being vegan now) but I got myself some vegan print t shirt. One of them says SOYBOY lmao. Can't wait to wear them in public.
Where from?
The mosque in my city that got send a letter with a bullet in it the other day just received another one and it shocks me to see how little people care.
In a world where antisemitism holds so much weight, islamophobia apparently doesn't matter at all.
(yeah I know that real bigotry against jews barely matters too and that the word has been coopted by zionists)
Honestly, as a Turk, growing up after 9/11, it was difficult...
Damn, you are a Turk, as well a dear American? Hasan?
I am Turkish and Dominican.
You are Turk, Dominican, and a dear American? Is it true that you need to fill out your "race" on various forms over there? If so what do you say yours is when they ask?
Latinx, if they have that option, of course.
I have seen Arab Christians go through additional screening upon entry to the US despite their obvious Arabic Christian names and the crosses they are wearing. Hatred of Islam is still widely acceptable in the West and they use that to hate on all peoples from south and east of the Mediterranean even those who aren't Muslim. Otherwise they will have to admit that they are just racist, which many sometimes can obviously be, see how Sub-Saharan Christians are treated in Europe.
yeah...
I don't like to talk about my childhood partly for this reason.
I have so much fun lurking in the european instance where they pretend to be anti-american but do not acknowledge they are their vassals.
That sounds maddening.
RIPiss Jimmy Swaggart; I hardly knew ye.

I think I'm going to start using Peertube and even put original content on there for the sake of archival.
Try the Tankietube instance, it's administrated by tankietanuki and there's a lot of us on it.
Oho, I shall.
I have wanted to put original content on PeerTube as well, but it's hard with my computer situation and being busy all the time. I hope to see more comrades posting content on alternative platforms, especially exclusively. I'm worried about loss of educational digital media on private platforms like YouTube and Reddit as enshittification continues. I'm also worried about archive.org. I depend on it greatly. I hope we archive and preserve media as much as possible on other platforms before we inevitably lose them.
Fuck, I'm so worried about archive.org, you have no idea...
So in my Dutch hometown there will be an anti migration protest at which some far right leaders will join. It's near the city hall. A counter protest is expected.
My mom works at the city hall and she has to evacuate the building after 16h otherwise safety can't be properly guaranteed. Wild to think that my mom is now at danger from actual fascists.
Leave it to the 'concerned citizens' to do this protest and show up with Nazi flags
Something about this being in my hometown makes me absolutely furious. Get the fuck away you fucking wankers.
This is my 1000th comment on Lemmy and I think it's a good time to take a look back. It's already been 2.5 years, and although I haven't participated much, I feel I have started to learn a lot and grow politically thanks to Lemmygrad, Hexbear more recently, and a few comrades on lemmy.ml and other instances (even the occasional .world). 2 years ago I was very much a lib. Now I sometimes take the time to read through articles, made a list of books to read and bought a few, to my family and I. To reflect, time passes too quickly and I haven't read the tiny Engels book on my night stand. I'm lucky enough to not have a physically demanding job but at the end of the day I'm still exhausted and drained. I wish others in my branch could realize we are very much exploited, even though it is at different degrees. Another bothering point is that even the leftist of my friends has a hard time challenging the non stop propaganda we are fed, and it's depressing
This comment was a mess. Thank you Lemmygrad, keep it up, and for those who have the energy to explain basic things to liberals: yes, it matters
Libs cry that china is imperialist because they give loans while the loans are literally used to repay IMF interests lmao
Today I am thirty-one years old.
DPRK releases unpublished images of soldiers deployed in Kursk at an event for the visit of the Russian Minister of Culture.

So a woman stabbed a man after a night out when the man started attacking her friend out in the street at night. The guy is now in a stable condition after fighting for his life for a few days.
The woman got arrested and might face attempted murder charges now. Fuck this world man.
Here's a pic of Man Utd player Onana posing with Ibrahim Traore for some reason
