Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.
☭ Matrix homeserver and space
☭ Theory discussion group on Matrix
☭ Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna’s Archive, libgen
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’ve been active in the Matrix space for at least a few months and are interested, DM any of the mods in the space and we’ll send some vetting questions and guidelines.
Pics that go hard…successful ambush by Hezbollah on the IOF:
Their videos are just insane did you see the tank destruction montage lmao
I must have missed that one. Link?

Nasrallah still speaks 👍
joined bluesky recently (against my better judgment) and spent like 4 hours trolling a guy who was talking out of his ass about how Ukraine will totally licherally win any day now, and I just kept asking the simple question of “how??”. They basically just kept saying “muh advanced technology” and I was like… is there some sort of portal technology that the US has been sitting on? What possible “technology” can undo the fact that Russia has already completed several of it’s war objectives while UKR has completed exactly none of them. Americans really do believe they’re invincible and it’s just by good grace that they don’t conquer the rest of the world by force.
Who needs magical solution when you can dictate that Russia failed because they only do enough to defend minority group from massacre and not follow the objective to conquer Ukraine that the Pax Americana media fabricated?
Three words tankie: Reinforcements From Aghartha

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
:D
How it feels trying to make friends as an adult…
Oh no! I’m late. Forgive me! 🥺🙏 Have a wonderful week, Oppo!
You too
I was at a party this weekend and I heard someone say: ‘Yeah I’m terrified of China becoming a global super power’. I don’t drink and I didn’t feel like arguing with a drunk guy so I just went to get some food but it was interesting hearing a take like that in the wild.
yeah man, how fucked up would it be to have to have to constantly fear a genocidal hegemony who can surveil your every thought, holds a nuclear arsenal, has a total strangehold over the means of information, and ruthlessly destroys any perceived threat to itself. What a nightmare. /s

this was a response to this.
the amount of racism on X has reached peak and
accounts like these are everywhere. racism towards indians are so normalised wtf
I tapped out after seeing the jaks NAFO people posted in 2022. Mentally fucked, sadistic people who are fortunately limited to creepy fantasies. One hopes.
oh no y’all, I’m watching libs pivot from emission reduction to carbon capture, we’re so cooked
The copers at r/optimistsunite LOOOOOOOOVE jaw jacking about carbon capture lol. If you mention that only 0.1% of carbon is removed by carbon capture, they immediately bring up muh technological up-scalability. Delusional shit.
I figured this was coming tbh, the writing has been on the wall quietly, behind the scenes in the US energy industry for a really long time.
very politically influential US energy firms have been quietly selling off renewables and planning to ramp up gas and weird distributed nuclear for at least the last 6 years. I used to work for one but I left when they ditched renewables.
renewables got too cheap and China dominated for American capital to be excited about anymore
Every time I hear one of these new subs they made since I stopped using anything other than the like four subs where you can say communist shit I die laughing what the fuck is optimists unite. Just call it /r/ignorethecontradictions
Headburiersunite
Great idea for a community tbh. that’s a terrific idea for a communist feeder community to catch libs and funnel them leftwards.
however nobody deserves to be subjected to “redditors”. it’s like making people work with asbestos
Wait that would actually be really fun though. Like a circlejerk where people can jerkpost and repost delusional content
Sounds like the SRS comm?
Not enough impersonation of reactionaries, it wouldn’t trick any of them into joining in and getting banned. Seems like a non-lemmygrad venture, mods here are serious
Don’t look at the sun during an eclipse
I hope the US Democratic Party finally dies
I hope the US finally dies (ftfy)
Today at lunch some colleagues were discussing cancel culture because of some inappropriate old ‘funny’ song. It went from ‘shouldn’t cancel it’ to ‘statues of slavers shouldn’t be removed’ to ‘hitler was bullied by Jews but sure that isn’t a reason for genocide’
I just kept shut and ate my lunch lol
What did you have for lunch?
We managed to get a seat in the municipality government of the city of Mons and now one of the country’s banks refuses to finance city projects lmao
I apparently had two intense workouts at the gym this week and now my whole body is sore on a monday. Everything for the gains tho.
What will happen this week? No idea. I feel a bit foggy brained like I’m in between things and I don’t know what exactly.
On a more positive note: the elections seem to have given us a good amount of new members who want to be active in our local groups ✌🏼
I feel sad seeing all these Gazans on Instragram asking for donations, knowing I can’t give them anything since I don’t have a credit card
Reposting helps a tiny bit! Some people have trouble vetting and locating fundraising
Consistent with the combination of pride and dread that characterized the imaginings of German nationalists, [Carl] Peters maintained that the failure to pursue imperialism would be disastrous, for it would result in the extinction of the Germans as a people.⁵²

Thanks for the recommendation
I met someone who is a Free Mason. Not like a LARP thing but an actual Free Mason like the Illuminati group thing those conspiracy people on facebook rant about.
Apparently it is a real thing and he said lots of higher up people are part of it in our country. He said if I wanted to join he’d do a good word for me so of course I said yes lmao. Dying to see what it’s all about.
I had a few acquaintances who were Free Masons. It’s actually not a very uncommon thing, they are basically everywhere. IMHO, it’s just an old men book club.
There is a Free Mason community center type building about two blocks down my street. They usually just seem to rent out the space for normal events, I even once had a work holiday party in the basement there. They are apparently legit Free Masons though, its a pretty prime piece of real estate they have too and its impossible to find out exactly who owns it. I’ve never properly met someone who is a part of it but it’s definitely an odd bit. They advertise it here as a “men’s club” sort of thing but I’d be very curious to know what type of person is involved there and what they do. Very little info on their website, and have never come across any of them in the community.
Definitely join if you can, just for the bit even.
Tfw you join the masons to find out what it’s all about and you find out that every other member joined for the same reason, except Melvin, who turns up to every meeting complaining about the good old days.
I am one if you want to AMA
After more than a year of updating /c/capitalismindecay consistently, my computer decided to stop working properly for a few days and I unwillingly broke my tradition of daily updates… I hate neglecting that subcommunity since it is so important to me. I hope that nobody was panicking over my absence.
Not panicking just yet but I’d be sad to see it disappear!
