    We’re currently looking for volunteers to moderate a few rooms in the GZD Matrix space, especially those in UTC-1 to UTC+8 (roughly Europe, Africa and the western half of Asia). If you’re interested, DM any of the mods in the space and we’ll send some vetting questions and guidelines.

      Be careful out there folks. There are spanish neo nazis organizing in Valencia. In case your team needs an idea on how to identify them, some of them are wearing shirts like this one:

    There’s this news article going around about how DPRK soldiers in Ukraine are ‘gorging on porn’ because they can now access the internet. The proof? ‘A usually reliable source tells me that…’. That’s it. That’s the source. And of course people accept it as the truth.

      Is your dad one of the willingfully ignorant person who use redefinition of words to conclude that successful example of Marxism are success of Capitalism? Did he even know about the actual definition of Communism? I know that my abusive ableist family had fled mainland China before the Communist takeover to continue their toxic authoritarian tradition from the Chinese warlord period, but my family now praise the mainland Chinese government for their leadership to the current prosperity of China despite their hatred of Communism. Is your dad similar in some way?

    I just had someone who was apparently a part of Operation Prosperity Guardian reply to me on reddit really mad that I made fun of the two US pilots who bombed Yemen and later died in a jet crash in the US. I told them if I were flying the jet it wouldn’t have crashed lol

      Yeah, same, cause i would’ve landed it in Yemen, asked for asylum, and told them to give the plane to the Iranians or Russians to reverse engineer. Really the only moral thing that a US pilot can do, short of kamikaze-ing their plane into the nearest US warship.

    Another week.

    Ever since the elections finished over here I am in some sort of political pause it seems. The party hasn’t really communicated something in the last few weeks and I haven’t heard from my group either. I get that in a year with two elections, who are now done, a pause was necessary but idk it’s not like things have stopped. Get back to work I’d say.

    The strange thing is that I just sort of forgot too. Like, it was only last night that I thought about the party work in weeks.

    In the meantime life is great actually. I finally settled in my new office and I feel really welcome. Made some new coworker friends who invite me to do stuff. Gym is going great and I am on a roll the last few weeks after working out from home for over a year. I eat healthy. Haven’t had a drink in months. I feel calm and at peace for the first time in over two years I think. I got some nice things planned.

    Not really sure why I write all of this. But I guess I had to get it out somewhere. I was sitting on my couch last evening thinking about how I truly feel happy for the first time in a while and it feels nice.

    Though I do hope party work starts soon.

    So the RCMP (Canadian federal police who love to harass and destroy the lives of Indigenous communities) intend to use social media to basically trap “extremists” in Canada. That might be cool if there were some kind of criteria and accountability to communities. But with the “victims” of Communism memorial and what not, it will definitely be used to beat down protestors trying to stop pipelines etc., and protect the ruling class from any workers movement.

    Plus we have a wet noodle fascist that will likely be prime minister next time around so… Yeah

    I said ‘death to Israel’ on my country’s football (soccer) sub and I got a warning from Reddit lol.

    I should have just said that ‘at least Tel Aviv is a progressive place! They have gay prides!’ like the other comment.

    Today is the US presidential election. And everybody online and offline is in the most annoying state of hysteria imaginable.

    Since it doesn’t make any difference who gets elected, I think I’m just going to sit back and watch the fireworks.

            Same cuck energy as when the US bootlickers here in Europe go on and on about what a wonderful symbol of freedom and democracy the US is, how it’s the greatest, strongest country on earth and won’t you please protect us from big bad Russia. Fuck i hate these losers, at least one good thing that might come from this result is that it will hopefully shut them up for a while.

      I can’t see him accepting Russian terms politically. He’s floated the idea of a freeze and delaying NATO membership, but Russia already categorically stated that they won’t go for that. However, I think what he’ll do is cut funding, and that will force Ukraine to surrender sooner.

      I have heard this fear expressed too that Trump would somehow bail on project Ukraine and NATO as a whole but I recall him also having similar bluster in 2016 and we know how that turned out. I haven’t seen any serious evidence to prove it and I personally cannot foresee a situation where he unilaterally just pulls out as a vanity project given what is at stake, and who the stakeholders are. If there was a case to be made I’d be open to hearing it tho, I am not an expert. I think it’s just dems slinging mud

    Tonight my football team plays at home against an Isreali team. Let’s hope my team beats them. Such a shame it wasn’t canceled and that the counter protest was banned. Last night a Palestinian flag was taken from a squatted house by Israeli supporters and burned in the Dam Square. And there are a lot of Mossad agents in the city for ‘safety’

    I went to the Ajax stadium to see if there was a demonstration against the Israeli club but I didn’t see anything so I went home. But apparently there was a pro-Palestina demonstration near the football stadium on a nearby square, which I only came to know on my way back home. It was apparently announced a day before. I really should stay in touch more.
