If there was a global tension meter like in HoI, i think we would be around 90% rn. Future is looking bleak 😐
I agree. I see things going catastrophic by the end of the decade.
Note that the "Truth and Reconciliation" lipservice speech by Stephen Harper, who is the leader of the Canadian Conservative Party of Canada, is a fake apology for the fake school Holocaust as it claimed that the "cultural assimilation" project of Indigenous people are only about "cultural genocide" which the European immigrants confessed to since the start of the fake school Holocaust. Stephen Harpers hide the fact that the so-called "Indian Residential Schools" were actually a series of slave camps, unethical human experimentation camps, and death camps that the Nazi German copied for the Nazi Holocaust. Stephen Harper also claimed that some fake school survivors "desire" a return to the fake schools which mislead any audience who do not know about the savage indoctrination in the fake schools into thinking that the Indian Residential fake schools or boarding fake schools are beneficial. The people who know that the European immigrants waste so much taxpayer money on savage indoctrination in the fake schools to the extent that family love are alien to the children and grand children of the fake school survivors will realize that the claim that some "survivors desired a return to the [death camps]" means that some fake school survivors are completely accustomed to a savage authoritarian lifestyle which lead to the rejection of the civilized democratic child-loving culture of their First Nation parents in favor for the savage demon-worshipping life in the Indian Residential fake Schools.
I just got a call that I got a new appartment and I immediately started feeling anxious about cancelling my current one and doing all of the stuff I need to do in the next few weeks.
The things we are required to do in order to have a roof over your head off which a leech can make a profit are exhausting.
I remember a few years ago when I felt like the world was at my feet. Bought my first car, went to lots of parties, toured around the country with musicians, living my best life. I was broke as fuck at one point but I couldn't care less. I felt like everything was going to be okay and I enjoyed every single day.
Now I get anxious whenever I buy a bag of chips or a drink at the grocery store to enjoy my weekend night with my gf. Which is weird because by all metrics I'm doing better than years ago, with a job, my own place, a partner and whatnot. I shouldn't have financial stress and feel anxious but I just do. I'm going to get a nice, new and bigger appartment but my first reaction is to get anxious and thank: what am I doing? How am I going to do this?
Maybe covid, Ukraine and all other commie shit had a bigger impact on my mental wellbeing than I'd like to admit.
I love how you have to give them notice several months in advance and will likely end up paying rent for both apartments for a month or two
I paid a 3 months security when I moved here and if I can get a new renter quickly it should be no problem. But yeah that might be the case. Which makes no sense. It's not as if I can find appartements on the market that are willing to be empty for three extra months without paying rent. Idiotic system.
don’t use redis. one of the contributors (not antirez) is an israeli
Oh my motherfucking god, I can’t properly edit one of my threads and now I have somebody whining ‘I DON’T LIKE THIS SOURCE!!!’ at me.
I mean, we post content from garbage‐ass sources like CNN, the Guardian and the New York Times daily without any complaint, but somebody uses a ‘Trotskyite’ source and suddenly you have to cry that you didn’t get your meal on a silver platter? What is wrong with you people?
I guess we need to assess each source and story on a case by case basis. Like you said we post all kinds of ideologically different sources. Barring right wing extremist of course.
When is the next General discussion Thread?
Monday
Thank ye kindly.
Hey guys, can you share some good quotes on liberal "neutrality?" IE, excuses to not stop the nazis, so the nazis will kill the Soviets for them. Basically quotes that reinforce a 'negative peace,' it doesn't necessarily need to be about the above example.
"If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances."
Harry Truman 😐
Pacifism, the preaching of peace in the abstract, is one of the means of duping the working class. Under capitalism, particularly in its imperialist stage, wars are inevitable. On the other hand, however, Social-Democrats cannot over look the positive significance of revolutionary wars, i.e., not imperialist wars, but such as were fought, for instance, between 1789 and 1871, with the aim of doing away with national oppression, and creating national capitalist states out of the feudal decentralised states, or such wars that may be waged to defend the conquests of the proletariat victorious in its struggle against the bourgeoisie.
At the present time, the propaganda of peace unaccompanied by a call for revolutionary mass action can only sow illusions and demoralise the proletariat, for it makes the proletariat believe that the bourgeoisie is humane, and turns it into a plaything in the hands of the secret diplomacy of the belligerent countries. In particular, the idea of a so-called democratic peace being possible without a series of revolutions is profoundly erroneous.

Who in your opinion is most likely to succeed Xi Jinping whenever he retires as head of government? No I'm not asking who the "CCP" will "imperially appoint," but who is likely next. I'm looking to learn more about Chinese political figures! Also, who would you choose?
I think they'll likely elect someone that's a "hard-liner," even compared to Xi Jinping.
Took my cat to the vet just now. She had dental issues, so we went to get it checked with a dentist. Dentist said it's tooth resorption and can't be cured, so she needs surgery. Which will require sedation. And since she's overweight, sedation will mean intubation, because she wouldn't be able to breathe otherwise. Wish her luck.
I hope the surgery went well, wishing you and kiska the best of luck!
good luck ❤️
good luck cat
Good luck

Oppo cake day, there's like 4 or 5 people with today as the cake day, was genzedong private on this day?
Maybe we are all the same person
I once was active on a Habbo forum during my teens. I got along greatly with everyone. Suddenly, a troll comes up. He was being annoying and eventually he decided to act like I was behind all this. He got what he wanted when we coincedentally logged on at the same time. Everyone was convinced it was me and I got banned from the community. This cake thing randomly reminded me of that lol.
On this day in 2022, or a day before that idk, GenZedong was purged from Reddit, causing an exodus to here.
Wow, it was almost a year till I joined? I remember lurking on the Reddit for two years, then lurking here without an account for almost a year to test the waters. Time flies.
My account is older than yours? how
I lurked for over a year and so when I joined I jumped in quickly and hit the ground running. Might have made me seem like I was an even longer term user.
Yes happy anniversary
