I don’t know if you already saw any of the videos of the event that have been circulating online but I’m not as surprised purely because (CW: graphic language)
At first you could see the bullet hole on the side of the neck and then immediately a large amount of blood started pouring out from the wound. So even if the bullet hole itself was relatively small, I think it must have hit a major artery or something
Thanks for sharing! They certainly look filled with pride. And the “everyone say hi to my parents” moment was also sweet.
I love how from the original comment, we eventually found both the actual person and his parents lol
Agreed! And this person in particular seemed to be locked in for the unfurl:

Translation (I just typed the auto translation, I actually don’t speak Mandarin, don’t shoot the messenger pls):
I am Zhang Wei, the flag raiser of the National Flag Guard Unit and I will hoist the flag that is five meters long and three meters wide.
The 5 Star Red Flag, which has witnessed the fall of thousands of troops marches from the Monument to the People’s Heroes towards the upgrade platform.
Wherever the gaze falls, it is all China let the 5 Star Red Flag fly high over our motherland. You leave the clearest footsteps which surprisingly guide me towards loneliness.
That was very cute and appreciated! Have a little flower
Same to you too! :) Have a nice week everyone
Interesting! I have never heard of that one but I saw that Lenin has a few different chapters already in this book about Bogdanov and his work. So it might indeed be worth checking out to see how their views different at some point :)
Extremely fast, it already converted the whole book! Much appreciated, thank you
Oh that’s a very kind offer, thank you!!
I do have Materialism and Empirio-criticism next on my reading list if you don’t mind :)
I think that should work since the whole book is already uploaded and available on the website
Oh wow, having a whole chapter subpage directly in a single page is amazing!! I look forward to having that option with other books then :)
Thank you for the change! Def a net positive
I saw your update today that you’re close to the gofundme goal so I will further share your link with a few other friends today in the hope of reaching it soon.
May you, Mohamed, Aya and all your family continue to stay safe
I’m so sorry. May you and your family be safe and together in this difficult moment

Was it something like this? Very surreal indeed
Very well written! I personally want a very similar experience to what you described from my instance, so thank you for being so articulate with your reply
…fine, I’ll go to sleep.
Lovely photo though
but we can still listen to this song and remember that it was defeated before, and that we may one day celebrate victory over it for good.
Perfectly said, cheers to this! Let us party friends (I wish I could upload that gif directly to my comment lol)
Lenin called imperialism “moribund capitalism”. Why? Because imperialism carries the contradictions of capitalism to their last bounds, to the extreme limit, beyond which revolution begins.
Of these contradictions, there are three which must be regarded as the most important.
Imperialism is the omnipotence of the monopolist trusts and syndicates, of the banks and the financial oligarchy, in the industrial countries. In the fight against this omnipotence, the customary methods of the working class-trade unions and cooperatives, parliamentary parties and the parliamentary struggle-have proved to be totally inadequate. Either place yourself at the mercy of capital, eke out a wretched existence as of old and sink lower and lower, or adopt a new weapon-this is the alternative imperialism puts before the vast masses of the proletariat. Imperialism brings the working class to revolution.
Imperialism is the export of capital to the sources of raw materials, the frenzied struggle for monopolist possession of these sources, the struggle for a re-division of the already divided world, a struggle waged with particular fury by new financial groups and Powers seeking a “place in the sun” against the old groups and Powers, which cling tenaciously to what they have seized. This frenzied struggle among the various groups of capitalists is notable in that it includes as an inevitable element imperialist wars, wars for the annexation of foreign territory. This circumstance, in its turn, is notable in that it leads to the mutual weakening of the imperialists, to the weakening of the position of capitalism in general, to the acceleration of the advent of the proletarian revolution and to the practical necessity of this revolution.
Imperialism is the most barefaced exploitation and the most inhumane oppression of hundreds of millions of people inhabiting vast colonies and dependent countries. The purpose of this exploitation and of this oppression is to squeeze out super-profits. But in exploiting these countries imperialism is compelled to build these railways, factories and mills, industrial and commercial centers. The appearance of a class of proletarians, the emergence of a native intelligentsia, the awakening of national consciousness, the growth of the liberation movement-such are the inevitable results of this “policy.” The growth of the revolutionary movement in all colonies and dependent countries without exception clearly testifies to this fact. This circumstance is of importance for the proletariat inasmuch as it saps radically the position of capitalism by converting the colonies and dependent countries from reserves of imperialism into reserves of the proletarian revolution.
Thank you for the clarification then!
Some people are really negative about involving children in religion
Yeah I fear that’s probably similar to what lawmakers are trying to harness with this law (OP then wrote that the law is actually specifically targeting hijabs and they wrote headscarf for the translation).
I personally think this could be a much longer conversation about clothing, racism, states’ policing and religion. For example, even European fashion used to have far more hats and head covering in it before it became associated with Islam and deemed as “scary/dangerous” in the West.
But because nowadays white Western European fashion has mostly moved away from that specific style, and also because Europe has become less religious, they slowly kind of collectively agreed that ‘covering your hair=bad’.
Pair this with their negative views of immigrants and Muslim people and you can see how some lawmakers are hiding behind things like “feminism” or “schools should be neutral” to target minorities and make them feel not welcomed in Europe.
Omg, I never knew people can be that creepy. Ahh, the West…
They can be far creepier than that unfortunately. And it falls again in that realm of “we don’t want you to feel at home here. You either conform to European whiteness or you’re already going against the law from when you are a child”
Most women don’t want to wear headscarves, and a few people who do that willingly don’t justify allowing religious symbols
I’m sorry but this seems just so wrong to me.
Isn’t the ban just about headscarves? A piece of cloth is not a religious symbol and policing women about their fashion choices is an awful idea.
It seems specifically worded to hide behind (white) feminism while just being another bigoted law that specifically targets Muslim people in Europe to scare them and to send them a message.
And I would like to know on what you are basing this idea that “most women don’t want to wear headscarves”. Maybe most white Western women don’t?
Because from my personal life and experiences I can tell you that I’ve met plenty of both Muslim women and also black women who not only preferred wearing a headscarf, but actually felt more empowered precisely because they could control who gets to see what of themselves.
And don’t even get me started on the weird obsession that white people have for black people’s hair. So wearing a headscarf can also helps to have healthier hair… In addition to literally stopping white people from randomly touching your hair just because “they’re so different!”
My understanding is:
I saw some posts on the Hasan sub where some users were pointing out that what looked like a shock collar might actually be an Apple airtag
