    lmaoooo the other socialist party Vooruit just launched an Instagram post calling to vote for them instead of our marxist party because a vote for us IS A VOTE FOR PUTIN!!!

    They are getting rightfully flamed for it

      This is what happens when you have no real counter arguments and base everything off Putin bad against a party calling for no more NATO expansion

        I don’t get how they expect that to even work. If they’re pushing a “Putin bad man” strategy, what separates them from the major parties who are doing that already? How do they expect to pull votes away from a major party with identical policy but far less political inertia?

            All of my local orgs are social clubs for well off middle class white kids who basically act like twitter ultras in real life. If one of them took a massive socdem turn I wouldn’t be surprised, but I also wouldn’t think they were infiltrated. Sometimes political groups just have poor political instincts, no government infiltration needed.

            And it’s a self-selecting process too. Any group that is kind of terrible and incompetent won’t have competent people want to join, so they just kind of dig themselves deeper into their own incompetence.

    A Flemish nazi wanted to have a talk at a university and it sparked a lot of protest. The university wanted to let it happen because ‘freeze peach’. Guy does the talk and now the university will press charges because surprise surprise the guy went on a racist white supremacist rant 🤯🤯🤯

      Wait so let me get this correct. Nazi wants to talk… people get mad because Nazi wants to do Nazi things… University says Nazi can do Nazi things because “Freeze Peach” Nazi does Nazi thing, like everyone said the Nazi would do … now the University is shocked and pressing charges… If there was only a large group of people who told them the Nazi was a Nazi who would do Nazi things…

          Next time it happens, appeal to the university’s sense of let’s-not-get-mired-in-a-legal-battle-it-could-be-really-expensive-and-bad-for-our-reputation. You know now (and likely knew before), they don’t have a sense of morality.

    Question to the comrades from China (or those who have been there recently):

    What car brands are popular in Chinese cities? Not just Tier 1 cities, but smaller ones?

    Asking because there’s an ever increasing number of Chinese brands in Russia, yet I keep seeing claims that Chinese citizens themselves prefer German and Japanese brands (Audi, Toyota, etc). I understand that they’re most likely made in China anyway, but it seems odd.

        The prose is shit and emotional manipulation is pretty obvious. If you read 1984 as a description of a capitalist world, however, it makes significantly more sense

    I’m an SE dude. We have to do a group project at my university. Sometimes I just wanna scream everytime a professor rejects a good project idea because it wouldn’t be economically feasible. Also every competition here is just yet another shitty startup competition where they’re more concerned about your business plan than on the utility of your idea.

    Ended up having to go with yet another AI idea. At least we don’t have to do anything with LLMs \_(o.o)_/
