After I woke up I noticed that I only had half an hour left to meet my deadline and share something on /c/capitalismindecay. I had a couple of suggestions noted for the Conference of Wheat Exporting and Importing Countries and the Haʻavara Agreement, but the former looked insufficiently interesting and I had too little time left to research Haʻavara more, so I quickly scanned my schedule for a video, listened to three quarters of it, and chose that instead for my topic of the day. You can tell that it was a rush job because the message is shorter than usual.
I see that the rushing did not prevent its popularity, though.
I realised my unhappiness when working (as a postal worker) is because I’m not out yet to them and feel like I have to hide myself. Seems obvious but since my job doesn’t require much communication I thought it didn’t have an effect at first
So days ago I posted about the Palestinian man that was found dead in my city, with his hands and feet tied together. Police may now rule it as… a suicide. I kid you not.
In my city that used to mean the police did it.
Last night I had a dream that you got a free bible if you spent $40 on Amazon and i do not think we are too far off from this promotion existing in reality
There was an essay I came across sometime ago which spoke of organizing people for social movements, written from the perspective of someone actively engaged in the womens rights movement. In it were arguments against structureless organizations in favour of elected representatives accountable to the group.
Does anyone know where I could find that again?
Thank you!
can someone point me to organizing at workplace article or writings by mao ( remember seeing it on r/thedeprogram or something)

is anybody else playing Arena Breakout Infinite?
I’ve been playing it since it was released to EA and I’m loving it.
losers want to say that it’s pay to win, and that’s the main criticism that you’ll see when you look into the game. The second criticism you’ll find is people being sinophobic about the game’s developers being Chinese.
I haven’t put a single cent into the game, but that hasn’t put me at a disadvantage against the players who do buy currency. If you understand tactics and make smart choices, the gear tier of your enemies never actually matters. It’s not pay to win, because you’d have to actually win as a result of putting money in.
im so tired of the culturalist view of geopolitics, its so dumb
I have GOT to stop engaging with Kamala stans online. It just leaves me irritable and distracted and demoralized for the rest of the day.
I got into it today with one and even after sending them that long ass github post + others detailing all the cop shit she’s done, they still stick to their doomsday fantasy of Trump opening Le Fascist Death Camps when he wins, just like what was supposed to happen during his first term and didn’t. Their definition is fascism is just pop history shit. It doesn’t matter if you remind them that the minorities they love to hug and kiss and pretend to give a shit about have been saying America is fascist for a LONG time. They’ve just been lucky enough to have been exempt from it so it wasn’t “real” fascism. They had the NERVE to state that the dems will be more hospitable to “spreading class consciousness”. Sounds like the blind leading the blind to me. How convenient that “Trump would do worse” is essentially impossible to disprove (we can’t predict the future and you know if we could they’d deny that too) and applies basically as long as he still draws breath.
They will look you dead in the eye and tell you “you need to vote for the cop to prevent a police state.” You couldn’t write a more hamfisted example of American exceptionalism. Nobody can radicalize you further than a radlib. They make me sick.

So much for the will of the people, Has france thought of a new revolution?
Similar thing happened in Australia. That was a while ago. Now you know what the checks and balances of liberal constitutions really mean.
Is this about the Australian Prime Minister who got ousted because he wanted to get rid of the CIA stationed in his country? I think Boy Boy made a video that referenced that.
That’s the one. And that’s a good video. Scary. I wonder if they’ve had any follow ups since.
I am currently reading Hunter S Thompson’s book on the Hell’s Angels and it coincidentally has a lot in common with Manufacturing Consent. It’s about how the US media made the Hell’s Angels from an obscure, dying motorcycle gang into the monstrosity it became known of by using sentationalist news stories. It’s a pretty interesting book.
Also planning to quit my job in a few months, sell my possession and travel for a year after I finished converting my van into a living space. It may be the stupidest thing I have done but I want to try it at least.
Have a nice week everyone.
Hermit life let’s go
Is your partner coming with you? Not my business, just wondering.
Oh yeah she is. We’ll do it together. We plan to combine traveling with WWOOFing to learn more about organic farming and stuff.
WWOOFing?
Basically organic farmers around the world are offering lodging and food in exchange for people helping out on their farm. It’s a way for people to get shelter and food for ‘free’ while learning about farming, nature and stuff and for the farmers to get shit done on their farm. Usually small projects.
Me and my girlfriend were Workaway hosts for years, so good luck for both of you in advance!
That’s pretty cool, I hope it works out well for you both.
I got an RSS feed and some telegram channels so I recently began reading local news and holy shit it’s bleak. I knew about some things that my brother had told me, but damn. What’s worse is there are no leftist orgs (apart from a niche party that does basically nothing)
Where are you talking about?
