Enjoy your week comrades. Apparently I did great in my exams for work. The exact results have yet to be decided but I passed according to coworkers.

Good day to all and don't forget to always condemn condemning Hamas

LMFAO libs trying to break chinese LLM alignment is hilarious

I hope you all have a nice week :D

A Dutch news outlet posted a story on Instagram about a Dutch-Israeli terrorist joining the IDF and she died due to an infection. They disabled comments on the post lmao.

you'd better listen to the music in the description or gosh knows what'll happen

Watched the ICJ ruling. Wholly disappointing IMO- they essentially gave a "warning" and requested Israel report back in a month. No mention of even the possibility of a ceasefire, no statement as to whether Israel's acts and its government's statements have constituted a genocide, simply a request for Israel to essentially ensure it does not.

The ruling was never going to change Israel's actions anyways (but now it appears it cannot even bring itself to try), but if there is any little justice to be had in this, it is that the court has surely ruled against its legitimacy in all future rulings- maybe they will change their tune in time (doubt it) but there can be no justice to be had in Brussels, just another imperialist farce.

Hope we're all having a decent January so far, I've been at odds with my landlord for a while now and I can't do much about it, but the grad keeps me sane in reminding me that I'm not the literal leech on society between the two of us.

This week’s picture is the cover of my copy of State and Revolution, so reminder, everyone needs to read it.

Several different businesses in Antwerp started banning Coca Cola from their shops because of their links to Israel

wondering if i should cover the russia ukraine unit or israel palestine unit in my american studies course

i know more about ukraine russia, and have a good reference for info on it (thank you Yogthos). the book is by timothy Snyder, an eastern european turbolib. I want to argue with it so much.

but israel palestine is just a lot more. It would be bad to ignore it, and let liberals have a monopoly on the narrative. the unit is sympathetic but i can already sense 'i condemn hamas' from the unit.

I'm currently reading, What Is to Be Done? by Nikolay Chernyshevsky. Does the title sound familiar? This novel had a considerable influence on Russian Marxists and particularly Lenin: he read the book countless times, practically knew it by heart, and even named his prominent pamphlet after it. Within the story, we follow Verochka, who escapes the clutches of a controlling mother and an arranged marriage in the pursuit of starting a sewing cooperative. It's a great read so far!

Lol i feel like an asshole but i am completely right. I told some dude off german descent that his grandfather that worked in the german navy was definirely a nazi.

Hey, so, is the US going to balkanize or what?

Ok wtf is happening in Texas right now? Apparently the feds and the state government are arguing about who can abuse migrants, and like half the US states are supporting Texas, but I don't know more than this.

I want to buy an NKVD uniform.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the premiere of Hazbin Hotel, I've been waiting for it for years and it's finally here.

Just finished reading Parenti’s Assassination of Julius Caeser, and it was fantastic. I particularly loved his breakdown at the end of the book about the pitfalls of studying classical history and the barriers put in place that contribute to the narratives around it formed by “gentlemen historians” over the centuries.

Yesterday I was finally able to apply to be a party member and today I have gotten back to work. I am really anxious regarding the geography exam I have to take before university, I feel like every minute is filled with fear until May. At least I have gotten back to reading, I'll try to catch up to the reading group on the long run. Health is fine, thank you for the cheers.

Have a nice Lenin themed week comrades.

So Ukrainian refugees have get togethers in my city every Sunday and you'd think they'd be able to hide the fascist flags during those but nope they are there

I'm currently reading Leviathan Wakes by James S.A Corey, the first book in The Expanse series
