Every time any further evidence like this surfaces about the defeat of the Venezuelan revolution, it brings out either despair or denial in anyone who wishes it hadn't come to this. I'm in the former. Fuck the USA.

Theres nothing to be scared of, he's a bit abrasive and argumentative but he's 90% right on pretty much everything to do with imperialism and makes very high quality researched and sourced videos on the matter on his channel. A lot of people just don't like him because he's rude and says stupid shit online, but the work he does is undeniably good. If you can stomach the average snarky/belligerant hexbear communist, Badempanada is nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm really worried about Cuba. I had a similar feeling of dread right before Venezuela was defeated, and Iran was attacked. But unlike the previous two, Cuba is the most vulnerable and susceptible to collapse under US pressure right now.

I had good times in high school, but still that type of media just makes me feel bad because life just got a lot shittier after.

There's a few, like that one thread from a few days ago about "what's bigotry do you see in ML spaces", I don't know, seems an odd question to ask when you're that fresh in the community.

I don't know. Some people are insecure and self centred, and like to frame everything as a personal attack/accusation.

You must think you're real entertaining. Its unfortunate we still have your type even here on the grad.

I do indeed think you're CIA. If you could also have the rest of your pals come jumping in to call me names it would be helpful to see which ones are the most insecure.

Am I the only one very suspicious of the amount of odd questions being asked by fresh accounts lately? Maybe I'm just paranoid but I can't help but feel like there's some very glowie activity going on as of late.

Forget the tattoo, he's a war criminal who did multiple tours murdering children in the middle east for the us empire, and still proudly talks about it to this day, why are US liberals more upset about his tattoo than his killings??

I'm critical of religion but Islamophobia is so rampant and vile lately, that I find myself becoming Allah's most faithful servant when arguing with people over it.

The country has been invaded countless times in the last few centuries

 

I had the opportunity to speak and interact with younger University age people over the past few days (18-24 range) and I can only say that I am shocked by how it's almost universal that they're either irony poisoned fascists, genuine racists, or reactionaries of another sort. Pretty much politically as right wing as it gets.

I worry that the younger people in Gen Z may be potentially the most susceptible to fascist belief in a very long time, due to the combination of terribly bleak prospects and disillusionment, ease of access and exposure to all manner of online extremist pipelines (video game culture, red-pilling), and the overall deterioration of social skills from growing up hooked up to tech.

If we have any comrades around this age group, or with a lot of experience with them, do you find it to be similar where you are? Or am I just unfortunate to have a particularly sour batch where I happen to be?

 

I've been without work for a few months now, and I have little to no money saved up. I'm pretty soon no longer going to be able to afford rent, and it's been made clear that I will not be able to access the healthcare required for my hearing loss. After a months long back and forth with the government bureaucracy and insurance providers, I'm shit out of luck for the time being.

I just want to know if anyone here has similar experiences, and what to expect.

 

Apologies for the awkward dimensions, this was how it was posted.

Transcript:

Mr President, God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century—maybe ever. The decisions on your shoulders I would not want to be made by anyone else. You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice. I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts. No President in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945. I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else’s. You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave.

I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down! You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU! It is my honor to serve you!

What is going on right now in India/Pakistan? I'm seeing all sorts of very concerning news and I hope any Indian, Pakistani or Kashmiri comrades here could help explain.

 

I have seen no end of Muslims, almost exclusively Sunni, online and in real life, celebrating the fall of the Syrian Arab Republic. Even where I live, there are Syrians celebrating it. I don't know if it's just sectarianism, brainwashing, or ignorance, or some combination of it, but almost all of them I have seen are celebrating this.

Be it in comment sections, social media posts, cheering in the streets of European cities, etc. How have so many of these people consistently sided with Gaza from the start, but celebrate an Israeli backed terrorist takeover of Syria?

The reaction to stories from Al Jazeera revealing the reality in Palestine were unanimously celebrated by these same people as standing up for the truth, meanwhile, when the same Al Jazeera peddles anti-Syrian propaganda, they are happy to welcome it as equally good news.

I don't want to lose faith in the Muslims and Arabs of the world, but if they're so mixed up in sectarianism and willing to lap up the propaganda in support of a Jihadist regime, I can't see how we'll ever know peace or stability in the Middle east.

 

During an unrelated discussion about something or the other (sports or something), I brought up a list of Asian countries, and instinctively accidentally said "DPRK" instead of "North Korea" during an actual conversation irl with a liberal that I often talk to. And after a little bit he produced the quote in the title. Referencing Voltaire's "Not Roman, not holy nor an empire" quip.

In this context our liberal here was clearly taking a jab at the DPRK and how it supposedly doesn't live up to it's name.

At the time it annoyed me but I said nothing of it and laughed it off and got back on topic.

But thinking back I'm wondering if it could have been an opportunity to perhaps break some of the conditioning and maybe have him reflect on his preconceived notions. What would have been the best way to actually explain how the name is actually rather fitting, without risking triggering a liberal brain malfunction that defaults to spouting propaganda?

 

Was curious if there were any quotes that we'd like to share.

It's pretty hard to find anything from Stalin for example that isn't blatantly made up to demonize him.

 

A few days ago this suddenly popped up out of the blue, thoughts? I think more countries should tell the Dutch to go fuck themselves, if you ask me.
