lmaoooo the other socialist party Vooruit just launched an Instagram post calling to vote for them instead of our marxist party because a vote for us IS A VOTE FOR PUTIN!!!!!!
They are getting rightfully flamed for it
This is what happens when you have no real counter arguments and base everything off Putin bad against a party calling for no more NATO expansion
I don't get how they expect that to even work. If they're pushing a "Putin bad man" strategy, what separates them from the major parties who are doing that already? How do they expect to pull votes away from a major party with identical policy but far less political inertia?
All of my local orgs are social clubs for well off middle class white kids who basically act like twitter ultras in real life. If one of them took a massive socdem turn I wouldn't be surprised, but I also wouldn't think they were infiltrated. Sometimes political groups just have poor political instincts, no government infiltration needed.
And it's a self-selecting process too. Any group that is kind of terrible and incompetent won't have competent people want to join, so they just kind of dig themselves deeper into their own incompetence.
They could have spend there time and energy to create a plan to work together for the benefit of the working class but instead decided to make a baseless claim
They'd rather govern with right wingers and neolibs than work with us, so...
Typical "leftist" western group. I'm so tired of "idealists" who boil down to preserving the status quo.
Hi! I hope everyone else is having a marvelous Monday. :3

I needed this, I did not know I needed this, but I needed this.
Question to the comrades from China (or those who have been there recently):
What car brands are popular in Chinese cities? Not just Tier 1 cities, but smaller ones?
Asking because there's an ever increasing number of Chinese brands in Russia, yet I keep seeing claims that Chinese citizens themselves prefer German and Japanese brands (Audi, Toyota, etc). I understand that they're most likely made in China anyway, but it seems odd.
I've seen them in dunk tank comments a few times. Don't think we ever interacted though
A Flemish nazi wanted to have a talk at a university and it sparked a lot of protest. The university wanted to let it happen because 'freeze peach'. Guy does the talk and now the university will press charges because surprise surprise the guy went on a racist white supremacist rant 🤯🤯🤯
Wait so let me get this correct. Nazi wants to talk... people get mad because Nazi wants to do Nazi things... University says Nazi can do Nazi things because "Freeze Peach" Nazi does Nazi thing, like everyone said the Nazi would do ... now the University is shocked and pressing charges... If there was only a large group of people who told them the Nazi was a Nazi who would do Nazi things...
Next time it happens, appeal to the university's sense of let's-not-get-mired-in-a-legal-battle-it-could-be-really-expensive-and-bad-for-our-reputation. You know now (and likely knew before), they don't have a sense of morality.
why would a nazi make racist remarks and calls for race war? such a mystery
Rimyongsu Falls , Samjiyon City , Ryanggang Province , DPRK .
Luckily that's a good thing, you didn't waste your precious time
I'd rather read comments of cuties like yourself. A much better use of my time. :3
Honestly you should read 1 orwell book so you can say "yeah I read it and it fucking sucks"
I will not pollute my smol brain with horseshit, but thank you for the suggestion.
Were you also forced to read/watch it on High School? Was mandatory for us.
The prose is shit and emotional manipulation is pretty obvious. If you read 1984 as a description of a capitalist world, however, it makes significantly more sense
I guess I’ll read it just to say I have, but I won’t be happy about it 😡
Reactionary, old, prole-hating pervert is intercepted by the state before he can do a terrorism and is rehabilitated with no lasting harm done to his person.
Long live Ingsoc, Glory to Oceania! The thought police are here... for you.

If you look at Mariupol, you’ll see areas that are bombed out and scarred. The northern arm of Avdiivka.
Scrolling through Google Maps is like a nich hobby of meband I randomly ended up in Ukraine
Exact same, nothing like getting stoned at the end of a long day and trawling through random places on google maps
I like to look at the DPRK and try to find these mysterious PRISON CAMPS I've heard so much about.
Mostly just awe-inspiring nature and beautiful architecture. Most google reviews for places in the DPRK are malding libs who've never left Nowhere, Minnesota owning the Koreans. Funny in its sadness.
I'm an SE dude. We have to do a group project at my university. Sometimes I just wanna scream everytime a professor rejects a good project idea because it wouldn't be economically feasible. Also every competition here is just yet another shitty startup competition where they're more concerned about your business plan than on the utility of your idea.
Ended up having to go with yet another AI idea. At least we don't have to do anything with LLMs \_(o.o)_/
Love how versatile soup can be too. You can make it more liquid, more paste-like, use a wide range of veggies and eat it either cold, warm and add carbs 🍲 Plus if you can't chew/bite, there's soup 🍲
I will elaborate on your behalf -- they are certified ProleMeal(TM)s because they're very versatile, simple, and hard to accidentally mess up if you have very basic cooking skills

I inserted so many links into the Capitalism in Decay Megathread that it is at our software’s character limit and now I can’t insert anything else.
I am unsure what to do with it now other than maybe split it into two megathreads.
There's only one thing we can do, really. Overthrow capitalism. There'll still be lots to say about it's final days. But at least we would stop creating new events and examples to discuss.
Or maybe you can start a single page website with all the links and just add one link from that post there
github(dot)io markdown pages are free and accouts require no personal information to create.
Finally managed to find a home after having to precariously couch surf for nearly 3 weeks. Feels good to have proper internet again. How have things been going meanwhile?
Remember to quote self quoting oppo wishing everyone a good week here
