Wow Oppo, are you immortal?
Literally
First time in the US and in Washington DC. Thought Supreme Leader Biden's Palace was bigger...
Besides that, experiencing the imperial core for the first time after becoming a commie has been interesting, to say the least. United Statesians seem like great people, it's just too bad they're indoctrinated as hell when it comes to leftist ideas.
Cheers from Brazil!
So our party leader is going around on television to highlight how Colruyt, a leading supermarket chain in Belgium, is supposedly paying 0.27% tax on a 1.8 billion euro profit. But the thing is, it's not entirely true. If you look at all the daughter companies and the main company together, the actual tax percentage is around 25%. Still, it's less than an average Belgian person has to pay of course but it seems that either he and our study dept. fucked up on this one or he decided to roll with it anyway and got caught with it.
Now, of course this 'communist lie' gets more media attention that normal. But it still is weird to just tell misleading information.
Meanwhile a local branch of far right party Vlaams Belang is parading around a guy who dresses up as Hitler and newspapers decided to give ´Little Hitler´ a visit to ´hear his story´. We´re worse though.
What an interesting place!
Going to the doctor this afternoon. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Well nothing concerning it seems. Probably some nerve or muscle annoyance. Good to know I guess, kinda sucks that I have to live with it 🤷
The good old classic "come back when you are dead"

I hope you all have a nice week :D

why did my upside-down text not get an upvote, this is discrimination
So, I am one TMS short of the final treatment that is going to happen tomorrow. They say it will have it's effects in 2 weeks time. I feel better, but from complex causes, mainly a supportive family.
Today I attended my very first protest and met the president of our party. On one hand it was a blast, I had old guys congratulating me showing up for the event and a young comrade approaching me to engage in a conversation. Not to mention the several positive comments and smiles I got for the pins I was wearing. On the other hand, I have hyper-empathy and I hated every second of people walking by and making comments and so on. There was even a dude spitting once towards the speaker. How do you guys process shit like this? The feeling was and still kinda is unbearable.
by people walking by and making comments you mean people from outside the protest, right?
What if there was a Marxism test? Not so people could brag about their scores or be allowed into things, just a diagnostic assessment. It could be used to figure out one’s theoretical weaknesses and what they should study. More like a personality test than an important standardized one.

So there's this popular Ex-Muslim youtuber that I used to watch a while back.
They became a raging Zionist.
Average "Ex-Muslim" Westerner be like.
I’ve been subjected to too much NPR in the last few days. It’s sad hearing them and knowing Marxism would help them so much in making sense of the world. For example I remember when, on Planet Money, the guest was asked what would happen if there was no unemployment. He couldn’t come up with an answer.
Anyone has that hoang phan post about ex-nazi hired by CIA to produce plague bombs for korea? I saw that post in lesser known facts on quora can’t find it, because it was deleted, I believe he took a screenshot on that.
By far the most underrated human skill.
When I met Stalin, I did not find him enigmatic. I found him the easiest person to talk to I ever met. He is far and away the best committee chairman of my experience. He can bring everybody’s views out and combine them in the minimum of time
There are people who think that the record inflation in the US is caused by the one time stimulus checks that got sent out 2 years ago (and dwarfed by corporate stimulus packages) and not corporations price gouging for record profits. Like there’s invisible wall where they understand that corporations got more stimulus than individuals and corporations are reporting record profits but the final gap just isn’t closing to make the connection between price go up and corporate number go up. The problem is obviously 🙄 the fact that some poor people got money.
I’m talking specifically about a member of my gaming guild, who is pretty unavoidable if I want to play with my guild. I just can’t with this dude.
there are dozens of small business in my area that have between zero and three employees, each of these businesses got hundreds of thousands of dollars in PPP loans, all of which were forgiven
Some Dutch former commander went to the news to tell that NATO is preparing for WW3 to stop Putin lol
Of course all former military commanders have access to current military strategy and are allowed to share this. This would not be a big security risk at all
This probably doesn't deserve its own thread, so I'll ask here.
Why are Trotskyists obsessed with newspapers?
my guess: physical publications (e.g. newspapers) were very important for propaganda before the Internet, and Trotsky likely wrote about their importance, so contemporary Trotskyists dogmatically apply this to modern times, ignoring the fact that physical newspapers are now more or less obsolete (particularly among younger generations)
I just learned that there was a communism episode of the Powerpuff Girls and I don’t know how to feel.
Is it just me or is Hexbear down?
So Iran and Pakistan are now shooting Rockets at eachother
I lowkey look to Chinese foreign policy to improve my personal social skills. Win-win collaboration = key imho.
I’m sure someone else on the internet has already said this but anti-vaxxers are Nurgle cultists.
