    I was taking the metro home when I overheard a group of 17 year old youngster talking about how they will be able to vote next year. One of them said that they didn’t know what to vote on, and this girl yelled YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR THE WORKERS PARTY (our marxist party).

    I felt proud.

    Elections this week in The Netherlands. It may be a far right government this time. Scary times.

    How is everyone doing? I feel myself slowly slipping into poverty and financial anxiety with every week, and am staying on the Grindtm more often and as such I’m not around here so often sadly.

        Hang in there, friend. It’s at least a way to keep informed with the help of our level headed comrades here about what’s going on in the world without the imperialist propaganda filter.

        Winter is coming and I’m in a situation where I have to decide between getting a coat or having at least 2 meals a day. I don’t think anyone can understand how cruel capitalism is until they experience actual precarity, being one emergency away from complete disaster.

    I made the mistake of watching the election debates in The Netherlands. Nearly three my remote through the screen.

    I hesitate to say it since we were probably all thinking it already anyway (and I wouldn’t be the first), but I like how the 1990 atrocity story about Saddam Hussein allegedly massacring incubator babies was a successful pretext for invading Iraq, and yet even though there is undeniable evidence of the Netanyahu régime committing the same atrocity in Gaza, the neoimperialists don’t want to do a damned thing about it!

    Today I will be attending a birthday at my Dutch family in law, of which many are Christian fundamentalists. After an election in which the far right extremism won.

    It should be a fun day.

      I uh… I want to apologize to the Christian fundamentalist and thank them for their support against neoliberalism. They were probably even more mad at leaving housing and healthcare to the free market than I was somehow.

    Y’know, it’d be based if the devs figured out a way to work in RES-style user tagging, just so I can set a flag for unrepentant colonizers to know not to even humor their posts with responses.

    Any of the comrades on here can send me the BDS list? I saw it a while ago, but forgot to bookmark. Am too tired to sift through search engine results, which seem to have gotten way worse over the last year or two.

    Comrades, what do you think of barefoot shoes? I was convinced for it a while ago by this video. Obviously not the biggest issue, but if you’ve got the money to spare it seems worth it, and in socialist society they’d hopefully be more accessible.

      My family in law wears them a lot and they say they are great. They claim to really feel a difference with regards to foot pain and stuff. Anecdotal, but still.

        I probably just suck at walking

        Lol

        It might be either because you’re used to “normal” shoes and your feet weren’t ready for the change, concrete sucks, or there might have been some stretch that could’ve helped. Or you’re not great at walking.
