    I’ll be hosting an educational evening today where I will be accompanied by one of our members in Parliament. I’m curious to see how my public speaking goes lol. Looking forward to it.

        My part is mostly explaining the consult we offer regarding energy prices / bills. We have lots of locations mainly in larger cities where we help people, but smaller places in the more rural parts get left behind. We’re now going over there to see how we can help the people over there.

    The evening went good. I think around 50 or something people came (we expected like 20, so success). Had lots of interesting talks. People were really happy. All of them wanted to sign our petition which we will hand over to the president soon (and most of them took 10+ to be filled in by family/friends as well!).

    I also somehow managed to get myself invited to a panel meeting with some of the country’s ministers at the end of the month. It would be nice to have a talk with them, see what that’s like lol.

          Stay away from it, comrade, in any capacity. The stuff is messed up.

          If someone unironically wants to talk about their favorite porn genres in casual conversation, make fun of them. That is incredibly cringe.

          That sounds messed up, but at least you haven’t been pulled in enough to feel the psychological harm.

    So, the wall street journal released what is basically a doxxing story about the twitter/telegram account Dombass Devushka.

    She is a former US-navy officer, and a lot of articles on western MSM are alluding her connection to the leaked report, although they do not do it explictly, as the leaking the docs is a crime. Soon after the dox, nafo dogs got her address and reportedly are threatening her and her family.

    Ofc, she (and her group) are not really comrades, but her channel does a good job on exposing the ukrainian/nato fascist facet, and i regularly check her twitter for news about the developments.

    Its a whole mess of a story…

    Years of liberalism have now pushed my parents to the marxist side.

    Visiting my parents in The Netherlands now and we’re watching some satirical news program, and they sometimes sound more radical than I do lol.

    Sometimes we’re too negative on our European people but I think there’s a huge potential that’s finally waking up.

    wym bro, we don’t have enemies? (vinland saga meme)

    we do have an enemy, it’s the current relations of property and the persons that don’t let go of them.

    Currently watching the MH370 thing on Netflix and oh my God how they could invite nutjob Jeff Wise on it is beyond me. ‘Maybe Russia is behind BOTH MH370 and MH17!!’

    I know the answer, it’s sensationalism, but still.

      It’s just so bad lol.

      One person even says that American intelligence went to talk to him, saying the US knows what happens and won’t make it public but it’s still Russia somehow according to this guy

      Russia’s motive. Doesn’t matter man, just vibes

        But boy do I like the French woman who argues that the US shot it down because 1) they were having a military exercise there 2) 2 US AWCACS were said to be involved and 3) the flight was carrying interesting cargo to China

          Is watching the series worth it? A lot of people here have been talking about it.

          And by worth it I mean was it atleast entertaining or had something interesting to say?

          The last thing I want is to watch something painstakingly Euro-Amerikan that didn’t even happen anywhere close to them.

            It’s only three episodes and I had a lot of fun because the theories presented are so absurd. I can’t figure out if Netflix wants to be a conspiracy channel or if they were taking the piss with these people, but it was entertaining for sure.

    Apparently PCUSA doesn’t like Black Panthers bc they’re “new leftists.” [they’re the reason CA has gun control, they stray from the class struggle by fighting for black people, they ally with lumpen even though they’re unstable criminals who hurt “real” proles] also, someone called John Brown an Ultra who’s inferior to Lincoln.

      Whoever is writing what you’re reading really doesn’t accept the premise of racial capitalism, do they?

        Hearing not reading. They do seem to be relatively ignorant as settlers about the actual material conditions of the country they think they’re the vanguard in. Totally based internationally but domestically not so much.
