I read somewhere in the past history russian emperor/empress gifted or received a gift for 1 penny/dollar. I only vaguely recall it, does anyone know what I am talking about here?
Russian soldiers show DPRK pictures and flags in the front line. Very based!
Soviet flag on the left 👀
Got back from my trip. Apparently the area I was in functions as some kind of bird sanctuary or something cause there was a ridiculous amount of them.
Also, I am now into bird watching. Sat in some bird watching houses at a lakefront and really enjoyed it. Saw a few Common Kingfishers among other special birds. Looking into getting binoculars now.
I forgot to save that picture of Yahya with a pistol wearing white shirt and black suit. He was pulling the gun out, very much like an action movie still. Now I can’t find it, help?
YAHYA LIVES FOREVER! YAHYA IMMORTAL!
It finally dawned on me that I had heard about him elsewhere… here:
To demonstrate how wide the findings are going into the depth Palestinian society we mention here that almost the entire high‐level politicians of the PLO, as well and the majority of Hamas leaders, are of a Jewish origin. This includes Mahmud Abbas (Abu Mazen — a descendant of a family of Rabbis), the late Dr. Saʻeb Erikat, Jibril Rajub (Argov), Maruwan Barguti, Nabil Shaʻat, Khanan Ashrawi, from the Fatah movement, […] Khanin Zuabi, and late sheikh Akhmad Yassin, Ismail Haniʻya, Dr. Mussa Abu Marzuk, Muhammed Def, Dr. Aziz Duwek (a Cohen), and above all Yikhyeh Sinuar from Hamas.
How could I have forgotten?
Only recently did I learn that the Palestinians have a word for their Maccabean spirit: sumud. Learning about how Sinwar perished in combat, I was reminded of something as I was doing research for this thread:
A transport of prisoners from Bergen‐Belsen Concentration Camp arrived at Gas Chamber II of Auschwitz. In the undressing room, one of the Jewish women seized SS man Josef Schillinger’s pistol and shot Schillinger and another guard, Wilhelm Emmerich!
You can see that sumud runs in the family.
Unfortunately, not all Jews choose to harness their gifts; some try to imitate their conquerors instead.
Who is this? The Hamas leader who recently died?
The Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar who was martyrd by the Zionist occupation forces, yes, that Yahya Sinwar.

I just puked for the first time after going out from the alcohol. Not fun
Orange site is exploding because
“Linux removes maintainer privileges for Russian maintainers”
Fuck Linus Torvalds.
fuck that guy. playing finnish card
look at this nazi apologia.
what is this guy talking about?
Soviets force Finland to expel the Nazis after the Finns lose the war they fought alongside them
“See! We finns were antifascist the whole time ☺️”
Impressive mental gymnastics as always lol
To be charitable, I assume this is the cope they teach in Finnish schools lol
I want to start a co-operative, tbh.
For a fictional series…
But idk, seems unethical for me as a Marxist-Leninist.
How is it incompatible?
Aren’t you still starting a business?
Idk. You could also be taking others’ surplus.
you are by definition cooperating with others who accept the terms of the cooperative, usually involving equal share fo the profit as contributed to the project’s costs (there’s dozens of models and all are massively more equal than private-ownership businesses)
Fair, but you’re still, idk, under the logic of capital, yes?
I assumed we are talking about working within capitalist nations, forced to play by their rules.
im confused by what you mean. Like you wanna start a co-op of writers editors etc to make a book, or comic or something?
Y E S
But I don’t know about the ethics…
as far as i know a co-op is a model where all the employees share profits based on the work they do so it shouldnt be immoral. But also even if it was we live in a capitalist society we cant really help but participate in immoral systems to some extent if we want to survive. As long as your doing your best to be fair to people, and everything i dont see a problem with it. A lot of people will also just do stuff like that on their own tho so idk if you need a co-op for it. Like self publishing online is doable by yourself.
I guess.
I’m more worried about doing a small business that’s NOT a co-op.
Like, if a co-op isn’t possible, will I resort to just a small business model?
And is that right, even if it’s necessary for me to survive that way?
Idk
We live in a world where genocide is normalized if you try your best to not treat othere like shit your already doing better than most just chase your dream and dont be bad to people on purpose and if you make it big and have tons of money use it to help the people society has abandoned
I hope you all have a nice week :D

Cute little demons!
I hope you have a venice week
that’s a terrible thing to say! unless you like cramped corridors and dirty water i guess
My personal problem with visiting Venice is more like you become part of the tourist problem
You too Oppo :D
I feel like we’d see images of his face everywhere in a few years just like with Che Guevara
Eventually.
I saw this drawing, I can imagine it on the side mirror of a pickup truck
Oh, damn, did Zay on twitter make this?
do you know if HUAWEI has special exemption in sanctions list
U.S. OFAC SDN / non-SDN lists
I’ve come to the conclusion that the reason conservatives and MAGAs are so convinced that Kamala and Biden are pro-Hamas despite clearly being Israel’s biggest backers is because they think that even entertaining the idea of a ceasefire is the equivalent of telling those “rotten terrorists” to do it all again.
the only differences between Biden, Harris, and Trump on Gaza is domestic messaging strategy. They’re 100% agreed that the policy of the United States government will be to continue colonization of west Asia and to exterminate any indigenous population that interferes with extracting wealth from the region. the differences in their messaging aimed at imperial citizens is totally divorced from what they actually believe or intent to do: it’s just a short-term disagreement about which series of magic words will most effectively pacify domestic unrest so the government can get back to the bipartisan national mission of exterminating and expropriating.
Trump doesn’t believe Biden and Harris “support Hamas”, he just believes saying those words in that order will best pacify domestic unrest by inciting violent crackdowns against it. Harris doesn’t entertain the idea of a “ceasefire” now any more than she did when she was explicitly condemning the people calling for it, she just believes that saying the right words in the right order will cause enough people to feel “seen and heard”, then go home and not make trouble.
