I am currently reading Hunter S Thompson’s book on the Hell’s Angels and it coincidentally has a lot in common with Manufacturing Consent. It’s about how the US media made the Hell’s Angels from an obscure, dying motorcycle gang into the monstrosity it became known of by using sentationalist news stories. It’s a pretty interesting book.
Also planning to quit my job in a few months, sell my possession and travel for a year after I finished converting my van into a living space. It may be the stupidest thing I have done but I want to try it at least.
Have a nice week everyone.
Hermit life let’s go
Is your partner coming with you? Not my business, just wondering.
Oh yeah she is. We’ll do it together. We plan to combine traveling with WWOOFing to learn more about organic farming and stuff.
WWOOFing?
Basically organic farmers around the world are offering lodging and food in exchange for people helping out on their farm. It’s a way for people to get shelter and food for ‘free’ while learning about farming, nature and stuff and for the farmers to get shit done on their farm. Usually small projects.
That’s pretty cool, I hope it works out well for you both.
Me and my girlfriend were Workaway hosts for years, so good luck for both of you in advance!
it’s still the 25th in Alaska so happy birthday to evil communist dictator Erich Honecker
Family told me apparently german media talked a lot of shit about the former east german commie regime the other day. Gotta “remind” the peasants every once in a while I guess.
The German media talks shit about the GDR every chance it gets
I recently started reading ‘Stassi State or Socialist Paradise’, anyone have thoughts? I don’t know nearly as much as I’d like about post-war Europe and its socialist efforts.
So days ago I posted about the Palestinian man that was found dead in my city, with his hands and feet tied together. Police may now rule it as… a suicide. I kid you not.
In my city that used to mean the police did it.
It’s official! Macron has rejected the new left government:

So much for the will of the people, Has france thought of a new revolution?
Similar thing happened in Australia. That was a while ago. Now you know what the checks and balances of liberal constitutions really mean.
Is this about the Australian Prime Minister who got ousted because he wanted to get rid of the CIA stationed in his country? I think Boy Boy made a video that referenced that.
That’s the one. And that’s a good video. Scary. I wonder if they’ve had any follow ups since.
Couldn’t use my bike to work today. Currently waiting for over an hour for the bus home that may or may not show up. The previously planned bus didn’t without notification. I live in one of the richest countries in the world and my bus route goes through one of the most populated urban areas of the country. Can’t even get a bus to drive. This isn’t an isolated case either.
Hope you got home okay. Public transport is so mismanaged it’s criminal.
Been there. Florida was like that. Pay fifty dollars a month for a privately-owned non air-conditioned bus in 98 degree weather that I can only ride 3 times a day that has the most basic routes they can’t find minimum wage bus-drivers for so that it could be an hour late everytime I needed to use it or skip over me due to capacity.
I do not understand how Florida is still standing.
if I wouldn’t know you don’t live in germany, it could be germany
I LIIIIIIIIIIIIVE
Weird timing. I’m back also :3
:3< we must scheme together
I shall deploy the Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz from powiat Łękołody on the website yet again.
again
yeah lol
I realised my unhappiness when working (as a postal worker) is because I’m not out yet to them and feel like I have to hide myself. Seems obvious but since my job doesn’t require much communication I thought it didn’t have an effect at first
I hope you all have a nice week :D
You too Oppo!
Have a nice week, Oppo! 😸
Lmaooo
Back at ya! :D
Deer wants all the boops!
OPPO!!!
Chaim to Stalin!
The most annoying thing about western propaganda is how they squat on your name for news, like if I see a sight or something called “the North Africa center” I know damn right it’s western propaganda, like motherfucker imagine if China did that and owned 500 sites all called “American news” “America today” and shit like that all of it was about the evil of America and how great China is, would be truthful and based yes but America would drop a nuke for that
Radio free America.
There’s a weird push against Jill Stein and the green party going on right now. Are the dems really that scared of her taking votes away from the cop?
You ask that like they’re not in constant tremoring fear of any spoiler that could get in the way of the Anointed One. They’ve been shredding Claudia off just as many state ballots in the past few weeks :/
Yeah, a lot of people think they’re dumb but I think they’re totally, fully aware of how full of shit they are. Why else would they spend so much time obsessing over losing their half of the duopoly? The DNC knows they have the easiest, cushiest job in the world and spoilers threaten that job security. Being a politician in a lib democracy is like being chased by a bear; you don’t have to be the fastest, you just have to not be the slowest.
Last night I had a dream that you got a free bible if you spent $40 on Amazon and i do not think we are too far off from this promotion existing in reality
After I woke up I noticed that I only had half an hour left to meet my deadline and share something on /c/capitalismindecay. I had a couple of suggestions noted for the Conference of Wheat Exporting and Importing Countries and the Haʻavara Agreement, but the former looked insufficiently interesting and I had too little time left to research Haʻavara more, so I quickly scanned my schedule for a video, listened to three quarters of it, and chose that instead for my topic of the day. You can tell that it was a rush job because the message is shorter than usual.
I see that the rushing did not prevent its popularity, though.

Black Myth: Wukong is strong!
