22 hours agoI mean have you seen how bloodthirsty a lot of the westerners are? Until the bombs actually start falling on their cities they think they are some undefeatable force of good that can’t be harmed.

I apparently had two intense workouts at the gym this week and now my whole body is sore on a monday. Everything for the gains tho.
What will happen this week? No idea. I feel a bit foggy brained like I’m in between things and I don’t know what exactly.
On a more positive note: the elections seem to have given us a good amount of new members who want to be active in our local groups ✌🏼
It’s likely a combination of different origins: some say African person, some say chimney sweeper, some say they devil. If you look at other places that have the holiday of Saint Nicolas you’d see these combinations too. In some German region his helpers are dressed like devils for example.
In The Netherlands people keep saying chimney sweeper but it doesn’t make sense to give him a full blackface, afro hair, golden earrings and bright red lips then.
Great time to be a young man living in NATO territory innit
Never been more excited to live near NATO HQ
Here we go

But don’t you get it? It’s just a childrens party! We need racist figures to represent it!
CW: racism
We have this Dutch tradition called Sinterklaas which is basically our version of Santa Claus. Traditionally he is accompanied by Black Pete, a black person who is usually played by a white person in blackface. He looks like this:
Needless to say that a white man controlling a group of black people who resemble slaves is controversial. In the last 10 years protests against black pete have really increased and as a result the vast majority of the country has banned Black Pete. They are now subsituted by Soot Face Pete as one of the origins of Black Pete is that he climbs through the chimney, hence the black face. Why the bright right lips, gold earrings and total black face were a part of it, is never answered of course.
Childrens party saved, right? No. A handful of racists keeps haning on to Black Pete and some towns in The Netherlands (and Belgium) keep Black Pete during the parade of Sinterklaas. Action groups keep protesting Black Pete at parades and in recent years these protests have turned violent with mobs of racists attacking the protesters.
This was the case yesterday in Yerseke, The Netherlands where protesters were intimidated, attacked, targeted with eggs and whatnot. Police did very little to stop the ‘concerned’ mob of racists.
Bonus thing: some of the racist mob threw the sieg heil hand gesture but, in contrast with events in Amsterdam, no politican yet has cried antisemitism.
According to Reddit: 0 Ukrainians and 800 million Russians
According to real life: no idea. I think official sources aren’t giving the exact numbers for obvious reasons as conflict is still going on.
18·3 days agoPeople will just see 60-70k and thing that’s great while they have to work what is essentially two jobs. So a realistic salary is 30-35k.
Edit: maybe not so great if looking at average salary lol what the fuck

As expected my motivation to organize is back after a year of election stuff. Got to a meeting with my local group and I’m excited for our new plans. Guess vouching for electoralism just isn’t my thing (what a surprise).
There’s this famous Dutch Instagram page called cestmocro who posts a lot of pro Palestina stuff (among other non political stuff) and the government is seriously considering banning the account. If this would happen in Russia, China, DPRK, whatever we’d scream bloody murder.
There really are some insufferable communist movements out there lol
I think you mean Beni Falafel. No idea what he thought about Zionism. He died three weeks ago.
I was at a party this weekend and I heard someone say: ‘Yeah I’m terrified of China becoming a global super power’. I don’t drink and I didn’t feel like arguing with a drunk guy so I just went to get some food but it was interesting hearing a take like that in the wild.
