The events after October 7th are really fucking with my mental wellbeing. First of all I want to say that I know the west has always been fucked up. But the sheer amount of hate, propaganda and lying that has been going on ever since is just sickening.

Like, I am actively trying to fight against a genocide by protesting, raising awareness, aiding strikers and whatnot. I see images of dead children on the daily. I see images of starving people on the daily. I see war crimes being committed. Every. Single. Day. But somehow the media and the politicians and other people are trying to make it seems like I am in the wrong? For opposing apartheid and genocide? It makes me sick. It is despicable. It makes me seriously doubt why I am living in this society. How on earth will I ever be able to function normally when they very society I need to contribute to, is supporting genocide? I can't wrap my mind around it.

Yet another week on planet Earth

There's this somewhat popular left wing reporter in The Netherlands who posted an instagram pic of a sticker that said Fuck NATO and it brought out the socdems in the comments. I started beefing with some of them and their responses boiled down to CONSPIRACY NUT/RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA/ITS JUST NOT TRUE REEEE and that was it. Everything I don't like is fake.

Update on the cat: the surgery was successful, only one tooth was removed. I have already brought her back home. She is displeased. Her paw seems to be hurting somewhat due to the anesthesia catheter. Additionally, we'll need to get her kidneys checked, because blood biochemistry had some stats in red.

Keep wondering if it's easier with children, because they can at least point where they're hurting. But then realise it's probably worse, mentally.

There are talks about Senegal kicking out Fr*nce out of their country. Would be based.

All my homies hate seasonal allergies

The Flemish Nationalist party released their party program for the upcoming elections.

Their nemesis towards the Islam has ended. Woke is public enemy number one now.

I hope you all have a nice week :D

I don't have a piece of nationalism in me EXCEPT FOR TONIGHT WHEN WE PLAY AGAINST G*ERMANY

Ok I pull up

Our party has started a push for nationalizing the recently declared bankrupt bus manufacturer in Belgium. We want to keep the productive forces capable of building (electric) buses instead of just letting them go bankrupt, forcing 2500 people out of a job.

A Belgian newspaper is rating politicians based on their last year efforts on a scale from 1 to 5 stars. One of our politicians, Jos D'Haese, got rated 4.5/5 as the highest rated politician. I thought it was pretty cool.

Laos mentioned

Hey, everyone.

How are you all doing?

And my friend just sent a message in the group chat saying that the victims in the Moscow terror attack deserved it because of Ukraine. What the fuck.

:3

Has anybody else noticed how upset Ali Abunimah looks in his latest videos? He looks like he cried for hours before attending his latest live stream, and I kept expecting him to suddenly break down during it.

I certainly don’t blame him for being upset with the monstrous atrocities that the neocolonists have been and are committing in Palestine, but I was so worried about him that I could not stop staring at him.

did everybody see that putin opened the vault revealing jesus was Black?!?

I must say I'm enormously relieved that tha image for the post changed(or the post changed) the other one caused me some degree of distress, but I didn't want to hide the post cause there might be some interesting stuff going on and such, but yeah this image is pretty nice

So uh how do I actually use the other instances on mobile like hexbear? Going to instances at the bottom just takes you there without the ability to post.

BABE WAKE UP LAOS MENTIONED

There is more and more proof that one of our extreme right politicians worked in service of the CCP. I'm extremely disappointed in this.

Our electoral program for the upcoming elections has launched (of which I have written some parts yay). Here is the link though it is in Dutch.

Happy Cakeday, @Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml

Hello comrades!!! 👋 I finally got Jerboa working again, turns out I had to update Fdroid. It feels very nice to be back 😁. I'm glad to see you all again, hope you have a nice week!

Oh hey, I got my first "Reddit Cares" report on reddit! I haven't posted anything politics related on there in a long time, so I think it was over a comment about e-bike safety which is just makes it so much funnier 🤣

I love how they have to have an entire paragraph at the bottom telling you what to do if someone's using the feature to bully or harass you, they clearly know that this is literally all the feature is used for yet they do nothing about it lmao

Edit: My comment was literally just like "it's not safe for pedestrians if you go bombing down the mixed use pathway at 70 km/h on an electric motorcycle" lmao

Some time ago I commented how I remembered reading that the Soviet had set their enemies free, but couldn't remember where I had read it. I found it! Chapter 3 of Russian Justice.

Few things beat finding an old out of print Michael Parenti book at a thrift store

If anybody wants some brain-rot to read, S/2024/239 (U.S. ceasefire resolution in regards to Palestine) is now available. S/PV.9584 (Verbatim records of meetings) is also available.

Anyone seen Sand Land, the new series by Akira Toriyama? It's a desertpunk and has great politics, if that matters. Way better than Dragon Ball

I guess I'm just not ever reading national news again because archive.is appears to be down, I can't find any further reputable paywall-strippers, and I am not paying the spineless catamite propagandists for the tripe they call 'news'

Wait, Lemmygrad has its own Mastodon instance?

The US just abstained in a UN Security Council resolution for an immediate ceasefire! Only for Ramadan according to what I've heard
