I meant more like: are they believers or just atheists doing whatever it takes to be in power. Can't see Trump actually going to church or praying every night out of his own initiative.

So do y'all think the Republican (and to an extent Democratic) politicians are actual Christians or is it just a tool to relate to the masses? Like, do you think they really believe in God and whatever?

I see hundreds of people every day and as soon as the weather drops to 10-15 degrees it is a non stop infection risk. Fucking sucks to get sick on a regular basis because of it.

No some 26 year old lady who calls herself Els Rechts (Els Right) on X went all 'concerned citizen' mode and organised a far right protest. She did not expect a protest to which neonazi groups, football hooligans and other right wing trash were invited to to turn violent.

Think all of the Dutch groups are far right. PSV has their share of Nazis too. Even had a banner for a while saying 'PSV groet zwarte piet', together with attacking anti Zwarte Piet protesters in Eindhoven.

Can't think of a single non right wing group actually. Den Bosch is supposed to be friends with Standard but they have had their racist incidents too.

I mean when you live in the marginalized part of the population (poverty, mental health issues, neurodiversity, etc.) you're bound to follow ideologies that are there for you so that makes sense.

Just three more years and then we can vote the evil away

Maybe this was the way to defund the police all along

To keep the mood better, enjoy Belgian team Standard:

 

Like, why does a gym attract so many dickheads. I'm just there minding my own damn business when I overhear dudes talking about how they are 'going to get so much pussy for lifting' and whatever dumb shit. It's a constant stream of male garbage coming from all around you. My fault for not wearing headphones I guess.

Is that why you lift? Really? Are most gym bros just terminally insecure man children? Fucking hell man. Who unironically talks like that? I know I'm probably in a bubble as a sober, vegan communist but still.

 
 

Israel is starving Gaza as we speak. They are explicitly stating no Palestinian will make it out alive.

I protest. I get out on the street. I boycott. But it doesn't improve these situation in the slightest. The rest of the world is looking and doing nothing. And I feel like losing hope a bit. Like, what can I do more? I don't know anymore.

 

And I sincerely hope that more countries realise this.

Israel can bomb a humanitarian aid vessel in what is effectively EU territory without any consequence. A humanitarian aid vessel. With goods for the people they are starting to death.

And none of the European leaders bats an eye. What's next? Drone striking a pro Palestinian protest?

 
 

So excited. Vijay Prashad will march with us tomorrow, really cool

 

Media is reporting on this all of a sudden and I'm a bit out of the loop. What's happening?

 

Currently watching the new Handmaid's Tale season and on top of only having ONE FUCKING EPISODE PER WEEK the libs over at the subreddit might be even more annoying. Seriously. They are so scared of Gilead but the only thing they type out is 'vooooote and call your senator!!!!'

Like fuck no voting won't help you man fucking organise for once in your life

 

I like to listen to state radio sometimes because of interesting debates going on over there and today a spokesperson for the companies and entrepreneurs came to talk about why companies are less inclined to give steady contracts instead of flexible one year or shorter contracts.

Was it:

A) we want to profit as much without having to deal with workers rights

B) still Ukraine war?

C) woke?

None of the above. The argument given was just simply 'geopolitics'

No word salad or anything, literally just 'geopolitics'

'You can't get a job mate' - 'Why not?' - 'Ah you know man, geopolitics and all'

 

I live in Belgium, originally from The Netherlands. Both countries are essentially build up like this: city center - suburban stretch - city center with farm land in between. There is virtually no real nature to be found in both countries with the exception of a small part of southern Belgium. What natural parks we have are basically large artificial plots of nature. Every single inch of these countries is managed beyond belief.

Want to enjoy the few plots of land that are deemed 'nature'? So do the 30 million other people living here. The most remote part in The Netherlands is a point at which you are, hold your hats, 11 km removed from the nearest road. A two and a half hour hike at best.

It's suffocating. There are people everywhere, all the time. You can hear cars at any point in these countries. There is no natural silence. It drives me nuts.

 

Armed with only one revolver, Youra Livchitz, Robert Maistriau and Jean Franklemon managed to stop a train from Mechelen heading to Germany. On board were many prisoners, mostly Jewish, heading to the extermination camps.

Despite being a heavily secured transport, the three still managed to cause enough trouble for 233 people to escape. 118 of them eventually survived, the rest was killed during the escape or recaptured afterwards.

Youra was eventually captured and killed by the Germana, while Jean and Robert managed to survive the war.
