I got perma-banned (again) on reddit for sharing a screenshot from the RNN telegram. The picture was literally just saying that Israel broke a ceasefire a month ago, and that was deemed “related to terrorist activity”.

I’ve started reading through some of my lefty books the past couple of days again, currently reading Immovable Object: North Korea’s 70 Years at War with American Power by A. B. Abrams, from 2020. I have two other Abrams books, but next up might be either The Jakarta Method or Killing Hope, I haven’t decided, and also a re-read of Blackshirts and Reds.

I turned 32 yesterday, and I just want to at least have a better background knowledge than I currently do on some countries, and I’m on a bit of a DPRK-binge right now, having read Gowans a couple of months back.

In women’s football the Dutch U17 national team reached the World Cup final. It will be against the DPRK U17. And apparently the DPRK are favorites too.

The fact that the shutdown is still going is the ultimate indicator of how busted up the ruling class is. The petty infighting has gone public.

Belgian government might collapse tomorrow as they can’t agree on the budget after trying to form a government for a year and a half. Turns out getting out on the streets helps.

I’m promoting Lemmygrad on Reddit again.

Let’s see if we get at least some new members.

Local socdem party made a video in which they send a honorable membership card to Mamdani saying he could be one of them but they are also in the government who wants to cut all social security down to a minimum, among other right wing things.

They got rightfully flamed for it.

Belgium is having a special parliamentary meeting because of the drone sightings and it is increasingly clear that this country, but especially defense, is run by complete morons. The defense minister wanted to see if article 4 of NATO could be evoked but minutes later he had to back track saying ‘ah no I can’t do that APPARENTLY’. Like fuck me man you’re the person in charge, know your shit.

busy week coming up for me! hope yall have a great week!

hello

recently been reading Theories of Everything by Milton K Munitz, essentially a catalogue of ancient history theorems of existence, early philosophical texts and some bits and pieces of modern works by Einstein and such. Pretty simple, I got it from one of those free libraries.

For some reason, the previous owner highlighted the entirety of Aristotle’s On the Heavens and Copernicus’ On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres as well as Galileo’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. I’ve been trying to piece together why those specific pieces are high-lighted and I know the curriculum in this area doesn’t cover the actual writings of the book in entirety so it’s been a bit of a puzzle figuring out why the entire sections are high-lighted in blue-yellow highlighter.

“DUH” is written in black marker on the side of the book. Irony.

decent book regardless.

“evil see see pee has breadlines”

What? You mean that there are dedicated community services fully financed by the state to feed the community actual shelf-stable food that isn’t spoiled or expired? It’s free too and accessible to anyone not just church-members or specific townships? Sounds better than America.

“people disappear in evil see see pee”

woah, wonder what ICE is doing these days.

“You don’t have freedom in evil see see pee”

Don’t make any Charlie Kirk jokes or your employment is subject to scrutiny!

“social credit score”

economic credit score

“apartments are only 15ft by 15ft big, standing room evil see see pee”

sounds better than a closet you pay 200 dollars a month for to live in

Why is that evil china propaganda sounds better than most living conditions American proles live in?

Also we’re actively getting beaten down by police as we speak at our local weekly Palestine demo right now

My Mom said some heinous shit to me the other day (like, yesterday from now).

My therapist agreed that it was at least pretty hurtful, very much so.

I still feel a modicum of anger.

I don’t know how else to leave the family.

Our party has a magazine every once in a while and for this season’s issue they had an analysis on the increasing military spending and how young people are lured into the army. One point they make is that not necessarily Russia is the main goal, but China. And I think that’s interesting and I’m glad they are daring to say it out loud.
