Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Insert vaguely witty comment here. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org, and a Matrix space; see this thread for more information.
Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory (and other books), you can use z-lib, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.
So Joe Biden went to Kiev. Purely by coincidence, at the same time a cargo vessel went from Bulgaria to Odessa that spiked international radiation monitorings. Purely by coincidence.
Boy I hope what you’re implying won’t come to pass.
So do I
where can i read more?
Here’s Russian MoD statement:
Fucking uhgg
I was looking at another post, and then this one just randomly replaced it while the comments stayed the same. Lemmy has some interesting bugs.
I had last week’s discussion thread open in another tab and it started mysteriously overlapping with this one
You can tell the war ain’t going well because Atomic Hearts has become a hotbutton for the NAFO trolls. Popular nations winning a war aren’t worried about people playing a video game.
are trying to cause a controversy regarding the game where it doesn’t exist, mainly on Reddit and the subreddit gameclicclejerk
Today I found out my classmate who is from and goes to sometimes South Korea has a dad who is a professor in Asian history and writes anti-communist quora posts. It seems I go to one of the most petty-bourgeois public high schools around.
I’ve probably shit talked him in the comments on there
I swear quora has the worst bad faith commenters, even more than Reddit.
of course he posts on quora
She was researching for a project about a Cold War era president (we had president projects for Presidents’ Day) and I noticed something about fighting the communist dictatorship or something on the quora, so I suggested that quora wasn’t a very good source, but then they said it was their dad’s quora, so I shut up, not feeling like trying to discredit someone’s professor parent.
last Friday straight-up nazi fliers were distributed in my neighborhood. they were recruiting. i’m pissed, but also feel vulnerable and can’t afford to move closer to my comrades because this state is fucked (location: Rural Northern California)
Heard that another ‘‘balloon’’ was spotted near China, is there any truth to this?
Near China? So maybe Chinese or neighbouring countries are doing totally routine boring weather research. Or US media wants to distract from the Munich Security Conference and more train derailments.
Prolly that, everything to distract from Ohio
What happened with the Munich Security Conference, sorry i’ve been outta the loop lately.
A bunch of predictable talk of escalation at the conference itself, and big anti-war protests in the city which were played off by media as far-right and pro-Russia. Of course the small pro-Ukraine demonstrations got nothing but glowing praise in the same media.
According to Syomin, the demand for Russian gas running transit through Ukraine jumped to 40.3 million cubic meters today.
Spice must flow.
Some Belgian madlad went ahead and published a five page long article in a mainstream magazine about how we should stop demonizing the Soviet Union, stop calling the holodomor a genocide and how we should get our head out of our arse and acknowledge capitalism as the biggest threat to humanity lmao
Plastered with Soviet imagery and comrade Stalin
share the article please
Will do if I’m back at the party office and if I can find it again lol
Does anyone know a book called “Girl with seven names”? My lib acquaintance is apparently reading it right now. It is about some woman “escaping” DPRK in the 90’s and things she has supposedly seen there. Apparently it’s “really interesting and super messed up”, to quote him directly. Which is already a red flag.
did china put sanctions on lockheed martin?
It was reported to be the case by media, including independent media, so probably?
kanye really went from calling out marvel for whitewashing the black panthers to loving hitler, what the f happened man.
Being a huge part of media culture may have affected him. It’s easy to go down a fascist path when you see the issues of society and don’t apply historical materialism to understand them.
Especially when you’re rich, so your class interests point towards it. Also, he’s never read a book in his life (according to him), so that’s also got something to do with it.
it didn’t come out of nowhere as crazy as it was
i saw a tweet with a clip of a video podcast where a former collab of his was saying he wanted to title the “YE” album “HITLER” but I can’t find it now for the life of me
Is Noam Chomsky a zionist?
Noam Chomsky: Israeli Apartheid ‘Much Worse’ Than South Africa
he has many bizarre takes on other subjects, but he’s probably not a Zionist
According to Lukashenko, Xi Jinping is going to make a an announcement regarding the war in Ukraine “today or tomorrow”. He also said this “will have repercussions for the whole world”.
Have to wonder.
TBF Xi Jinping could fly to Texas and buy tacos and that would have “repercussions for the whole world”, we’ll have to wait and see
Saw some Ukrainian guy in my gym yesterday, wearing a full Zelensky looking outfit lol. He was watching videos of Ukrainian women posing with rocket launchers with Beyoncé’s ‘Crazy In Love’ as background music.
Are you sure he was Ukrainian and not just some horny redditor?
I’m sure there’s some overlap between the two
Had an argument on the Dutch socialist sub and the guy said that the civilian deaths caused by Ukraine in Donetsk are a Russian lie lmao
