    Brutal images coming from Rafah. Children the age of my nephew are shown with their head and limbs blown of. People burned to coal. Not a word from the West. No peacekeeper mission.

    I will never be able to function in this society ever again.

      this is the stuff that the zionists lied about to shake the western media with, remember the burned baby AI pic? remember Biden saying 40 beheaded babies?

        There’s this Dutch politician for the Green/Labour fusion, actually he’s the leader, that went on tv after October 7th saying that ‘we’ are the culture of life and ‘they’ (Hamas/Palestinians) are the culture of death. He’s suspiciously quiet these days.

      We don’t have an USSR to save our asses this time, and the US is siding with the nazis. Yup, history is repeating, as an ever worse tragedy.

      Let’s hope the Arab league manages to kick Isn’treal’s ass, the footage from today was terrifying.

      Where can I find this footage? I actually don’t know if I should watch it, I can be pretty sensitive to this. And I’m not even sure it’s a good and sane way to prove the horrors to someone you know. But we also should not, not see it and close our eyes

    So our party keeps joining school debates in which politicians go to school and debate in front of the students. Our reps regularly not beat but just annihilate the competition with like 60% of the student votes ✊🏼

    The job of an accountant boils down to figure out how to avoid paying taxes / launder money, and it is a highly respected job in our current society 😬

    I met a woman at the grocery store who wanted to chat. She justified me being out of a job as “ohh you’ll find another you’re a workaholic like me” and paraphrasing "not like all those lazy Poor’s ".

    I told her I believe that most are doing the best they can and that we should help those in need if we have the ability too.

    She tells me I should read this book “the power of positive thinking” (obviously it’s about gas lighting yourself). I told her I prefer to feel my anger about what’s wrong and direct it in the direction it needs to go to make real change.

    She then proceeds to talk about people less fortunate that she has helped. People who can’t care for themselves, her kids who don’t make enough money to pay bills…

    Point is:

    It’s interesting hearing the contradictions someone has to make to justify the world we live in… Well, to see it in the wild anyway.

    I don’t know how likely it is that we can change someone like that’s perspective, but at least folks around us heard the one who is angry is also the positive one and makes good points. Thought I would share some organic praxis I engaged in today

    Best of luck out there

    Almost arrested today at a Palestine demonstration but managed to escape through an alleyway. We were just going to the square where there was an Israel demonstration. But they were at the other end of the square and weren’t even close to us. Demonstrators got closed off by the police at one of the entrances to the square. Then they were arrested.

        We were marching from the American consulate to the Dam and we were blocked in Kalverstraat, but half of us managed to escape and the others were locked in by the cops and arrested. The rest was supporting the locked in ones by chanting and shouting at the police. But because of this we couldn’t do our counter protest. Like always, no matter how well we protested, the cops won in the end. Although they did need a lot of cops for that. I think that we really need to get more people to join the protests, then there’s a higher chance we’ll win. We should invite other people when going to a protest

    The fun thing about working at a union is that every week it’s a gamble to see which supplier they are fighting with. A while ago the Union had beef with Coca Cola because of some issues in their distribution center and we didn’t have sodas for for a week or two. Now the vending machines are taped shut because of the Israel boycott.

      Fuck I’d love to see some of this in Poland. But nope, best you get is Solidarność stepping in to save the business side or some tiny actions by Związkowa Alternatywa, who are knee deep in shit with lawsuits, or by Inicjatywa Pracownicza who are currently occupying a dormitory of Uniwersytet Jagielloński…

      Fucking beef that renders vending machines non existent because of Israel. What a dream.

    Capitalism has programmed me in such a way that I am scared to call in sick for 1 day. I may have been breathing in mold for weeks now and my lungs decided to stop functioning now and even though my manager said it’s fine I still think to myself: no, I can’t call in sick it’s not that bad and I have work to do.

    We made some cards with the faces of our representatives on them. Like those Panini football cards style.

    Thing is, our reps are pretty much local people. Teachers, workers, some social media figures, etc. They are a huge hit lol. Everyone wants a card of their local rep it seems. I heard they were even used as some trading cards in some schools.

      China’s foreign policy lately is to attempt talks to reach peace agreements. This is no different. As much as we’d like them to be like the USSR that took a clear stance against imperialism and injustice, the PRC is taking a different approach.

      China’s economy relies on shipping trillions of dollars of goods worldwide to customers across the globe.

      A group striking shipping in the worlds most heavily traveled waters drives up costs, insurance, and is generally bad for business.

      It doesn’t mean they don’t agree ideologically, but it’s harming China’s economy and they aren’t happy.

      Pragmatism, feels dirty sometimes but keeps you on track for longer towards bigger goals.
