Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,

(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and

(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.

idk sounds kind of authorioritaritan, why not just confront them in the marketplace of ideas

[–] jopepa@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can’t sell asbestos cotton candy at a marketplace of food. Authorities of public health regulate that shit out of our markets. Same public health oversight but with regulatory baseball bats.

guess the in my display name wasn't enough to imply sarcasm

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Don't you see? You just got HORSESHOE THEORY'D!!!

[–] jopepa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I got it, I was just building on the joke by playing opposition to your sarcasm.

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

noooooooooooooooooooooooo I ruined it

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I always like when people in our party are so invested in finding new ways to pwn the fascists in the marketplace of ideas. I'm sure the fascists are doing the same in their 'self defence' classes they are talking about.

those Nazis will surely realize that they're being mean when confronted with poignant criticism

Real Cognitive Dissonance here, I am faced with new evidence that the Fr*nch can be based /s

Omg I'm lemmygrad famous 😳

I must admit I'm not on this level of based, LUSINE was something else

[–] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Btw, what do fr*nch history class text books say about Algeria

[–] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not a lot, colonial history is treated like a secondary subject, at least it was in my time, maybe it changed a bit now.

The war with Algeria is mostly discussed around the event of De Gaulle doing something with the radio when the fascist fringe of the military rebelled against him for having connected two neurons and abandonned the war. Very lame, no word about the atrocities.

idk, I am asking them, I never cared to read a french text book

[–] cabillaud@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They say "Algeria good, France bad". Happy?

Instilling fear on their opposition (violent nazi fascist) and providing safe spaces for immigrants (people of color)

Looks like Double Dragon irl

[–] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It sucks cause Julien, the guy on the right, is now at pro-Israel protests in Paris.

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago

That's a shame. Luckily there is a very active antifa movement in France right now, who are keeping the OG spirit of the Red Warriors alive.

[–] Fissionami@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's sad 😢 Btw do you have any sources where I can read about that?

[–] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I have it on good authority, but from a friend who heard it from friends or others. But I think it's still a trustable source because it's not super difficult to prove, even if it's hearsay lol

there's also some interviews of Red Warriors on youtube though in French, including Julien. He seemed more like an anarchist than a commuinist, he said he tried to join PCF but they wanted to give him reading and courses and he didn't care much for it.

[–] Wermhatswormhat@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Kind of makes me think of inglorious Basterds. I wonder if there’s any I inspiration taken from them.
