i was out in the town centre the other day and saw some anarchists staging some sort of protest. and i was like, fuck yeah! free palestine! until i got closer and saw that it wasn't the ancom flag, it was a different half black half red flag that had some yellow symbol on it, and a bunch of people with ukraine shit. like bestie its been 2 years lmao, how do they not know its joever? genuinely, why the fuck are you wasting your weekend for a country being used as a nato pawn that we all knew never stood a chance in the first place?

also, given that its a symbol being used for the ukraine i assumed it was some fash shit. i got home, googled it, and its the flag of the ukrainian insurgent army - and guess who they were shooting at during ww2? not the fucking germans

I asked my dad for interior minstry position and he said he’d consider

Can’t say which country because I’d be doxxed

Lmaoooo I’m reading some old Norton anthology of American literature and liberals have always been extremely cowardly

John brown’s raid at Harper’s ferry? Liberals agreed with the idea behind it but the optics were bad

Ralph Waldo Emerson’s message to Martin Van Buren imploring him to rethink Indian removal? Liberals agreed, but there was nothing that could be done 🥺

Lincoln voting against abolition in 1846? Uwu it could threaten the Union 🥺

And on and on and on. It’s always been about a power struggle

Amazing how nothing has changed in this country that is demonstrably beyond hope

I started reading Settlers. The first chapter was an easy enjoyable read, making clear points, citing Marx multiple times, not using many and difficult or outdated words. Here is a well formatted epub. Sadly the archive.org scans are as always a mess in epub.

The first chapter had a class analysis of early settler society and listed how all branches of it's economy tied into slavery, supplying ships for the slave trade and contracting slave work from slave-owners.

Here is a quote that I liked

When we point out that Amerika was the most completely bourgeois nation in world history, we mean a four-fold reality:
(1) Amerika had no feudal or communal past, but was constructed from the ground up according to the nightmare vision of the bourgeoisie.
(2) Amerika began its national life as an oppressor nation, as a colonizer of oppressed peoples.
(3) Amerika not only has a capitalist ruling class, but all classes and strata of Euro-Amerikans are bourgeoisified, with a preoccupation for petty privileges and property ownership the normal guiding star of the white masses.
(4) Amerika is so decadent that it has no proletariat of its own, but must exist parasitically on the colonial proletariat of oppressed nations and national minorities. Truly, a Babylon “whose life was death.”

Especially this

Amerika [...] was constructed from the ground up according to the nightmare vision of the bourgeoisie.

New rule, you don't get to pull the "Unalive" shit if you have a patreon The point of having a patreon as a youtuber is so you don't have to rely on youtube monetization.

Rabbits are so funny I like that they are able to succeed even though they are so goofy

People who use Discord and demand you do so are my least favorite type of person. I'm not going into your quirky gamer dungeon no matter who the FBI sends.

Like if you use Discord, stop.

oh shit the blob fucker comes from there. I hate it here.

every third tweet in the venerated 'For You' algorithm even though I continue to mark "Not interested in this post: this post isn't relevant":

Came across a random Reddit comment that said, “Hasan Pikers fans got insane after October 7 to the point they put MAGA Republicans to shame.” Went into their posting history and saw comments on tankiejerk. One of which read, “ Oh don't worry. These people had no idea Imperial Core was a term before this recent Gaza flare up. They'll forget all about it by next year.”

Fucking lol and then a response saying the USSR was the imperial core. Liberalism really is something you need to break out of because it’s so heavily reinforced that people in it can’t see how stupid the conclusions they come to about leftism are.

Also surprised tankiejerk is anti-Palestine. I thought they’d do what some are doing and be pro-Palestine and saying it’s the same as Ukraine.

In a previous megathread I mentioned trying to restrain myself from telling everyone i meet to become an insulator. I was asked "doesn't it take skills to become an insulator" but saw the post too late and the thread was locked.

The answer to this question, of course, is no. You need to be physically capable of climbing a ladder and you should probably be ok with wearing a respirator most of the time. I don't wear one unless we're doing abatement but I'm a certified dumb fuck.

My main tool is a steak knife and a pair of scissors. I get to do basic geometry which is the most fun kind of math. The trade has a reputation for being the most fucked up weird people with a strong union.

Construction work sucks and isn't fun on the whole but of all the trades, insulation is far and away the best day to day average experience. The pay depends on the region but I make around $40/hr canadian now that I'm a journeyperson.

If you want me to get you in contact with your local union hall DM me I have a directory at home and I'll try to call them myself first

Bought an above ground pool for my pookie,
about to make some margs and sit in it

I. REALLY wish youtubers would stop TALKING. like THIS.

I have a job for the summer!

Its a kitchen porter job. Minimum wage, but I'm just glad to have something. I worked in the same place last year and enjoyed it, nearly everyone who worked there was really cool, so I'll be glad to be back. Also it will be nice to be making money again

Although I'm glad Tiktok is allowing people to grow conscious of the crimes the US perpetuates internationally through foreign policy, especially with isntreal, I'm worried about the consciousness people are developing as they can still be un/mis informed and reluctant to develop greater understanding outside the platform.

It's so hard to see how intellectually incurious allistic people are. I need information like I need air.

sometimes I love just refreshing the main page and looking at the taglines, especially the ones from people with Hexbear Derangement Syndrome

"Please note that though hexbear.net claims to be “leftist,” their users’ primary focus is spreading right wing propaganda via strawman and red herring tactics, usually in swarms."

"At this point Hexbear is essentially co-opted by astroturfing terrorists"

"Hexbear really are GOP advocates, I personally think they’re a small community that has been prodded along and mentored by Pro-CCP foreign agents, bots, and bad faith actors to create political divide and discord while also increasing support of the CCP and their immediate allies, but that’s all just armchair theorizing at this point."

there's just something about liberal psychoanalysis that never fails to make me smile

you'd think we were all posting shitty impact font memes at each other with titles like "THIS IS SO TRUE!!" like the triple-divorced dads who haven't talked to their kids in five years do on pro-Trump sites but we're literally just like, in favour of Gazan children not being bombed and an end to unnecessary wars killing hundreds of thousands of people for no benefit whatsoever like in Ukraine

us: "I think the guy putting trade restrictions on Chinese green technology and not doing anything to constrain American fossil fuel industries might not actually care very much about the environment"

libs: "aha, so, my body language analysis of the Hexbear menace has revealed that they are an LLM psyop invented by a joint campaign by the GOP, Russia, China, and North Korea to spread propaganda on the lemmyverse"

people in breaking bad are CONSTANTLY drink-driving, but the writers didnt seem to notice. like hank will go to visit walter and skylar, have five beers and then drive home. or walt will go drink whiskey in a bar then drive home. and its never important but. that is not good guys. you cant do that

I've been seeing too much actual anti semitism on social media. No the Jews do not control the banks and the media. No Mel Gibson doesn't have a point.

Goes without saying that Zionism and Israel can burn and that includes those who support it. I understand the anger, especially from Arabs but it's getting dangerous IMO

Love how photo filters are everywhere now. I'll take a picture of myself where I think I'm really cute, apply a beauty filter out of curiosity, then realize that the real me is actually mid as fuck.

I've been trying not to cry over the genocide because I want to save my tears for when Palestine is free but god it's been so hard.

I also notice there's struggle to discuss Congo since there's no direct aggressors like with Palestine. So request to Free Congo with no material ways on how feel hollow to me.The liberator for Congo is the destruction of capitalism and subsequently hyper consumerism.

does anyone have any sources on that that "china invited everyone to see the 'uyghur camps', the west refused, but all the muslim countries went and said it was chill" thing? and/or adrian zenz being fucking insane? my lib friend has turned out to be suprisingly open to being chinapilled, but the whole ~genocide~ bullshit is a big stumbling block

suprisingly enough, trying to find things that counter US propaganda through google isn't working out well

it is may 27 and stalin saved the world from fascism

Damb so true

Hey @CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net a Disco Elysium post you wrote here has 250k views on twitter, people are being nice to you and I figured you might want to know about it

Mods forced me to play crosscode

I kept losing to the green haired tankie and whenever I did they would laugh at me and rub my face in the carpet saying, "Learn to perfect guard, you stupid idiot"

Now that I escaped, they better crosscode their fingers they'll experience a quick death.

I'm sorry, but WTF is this headline?

"Red Bank man who died after pedestrian collision planned to build home for his mother"

I know the language in the news media around cars killing people skews towards blaming victims (usually pedestrians or cyclists), but this is the first time I've seen a crash referred to as a "pedestrian collision".

My last will and testament

My loot table

Guy who believes all the antisemitic conspiracies but its the italians instead

I mean think about it the romans killed jesus and modern banking was invented in Italy

Really makes you think

The revolution will not be scried

wow I wasn't expecting Hamas to show up in the Furiosa movie

oh cool, a medical center in my country is now encouraging patients to use OpenAI for medical questions before (or instead of) contacting a doctor
