Just had the second interview with the union. I’m weirdly neutral about the interview and the job. Very extensive second interview with lots of discussion about me as a person and a roleplay exercise, took like two hours in total lol.
We’ll see. After the first interview I didn’t know what to think either and they did send me to today’s expensive HR agency for another interview, so maybe it went good for them after all.
50 riot cops just evicted a 60 year old guy that couldn’t pay rent in rome, that’s capitalism for you
Edit: it was actually in bologna, one of the most communist cities in Italy, and yet shit like this happens, some militants got injured too… Seems like they’re occupying an house in solidarity with the man
proof #4294967296 that capitalist states are bourgeois dictatorships
Yeah… It was state subsidized housing too, the fact that a worker in a moderately rich industrial city (with great food) like bologna can’t even afford that speaks volumes to the conditions we are in right now, state subsidized housing in capitalism is just a way to have worker ants to work your machines till they die
A couple of weeks ago I had this meeting on poverty with lots of different people involved in social work and the government. The discussion got heated at some point and the government was asked how it is possible that big energy companies have put us in this horrible situation. The answer was: ‘free market, can’t do anything about it’.
The answer has been bugging me ever since. It’s the FUCKING GOVERNMENT saying this as if they are some helpless small org. But it’s a classic example of the mindset of the people in control.
The mysterious downvoter is back
Could be a certain ultra from the cheese province of burgerland.
Wanted to make a joke but it’s too gross for lemmy lol
I replanted some plants and their baby offspring into new pots and ground yesterday and I hope they survive.
I’ve got some Pilea plants that produced new stems which I repotted. The Pilea truly is an invincible plant. If there ever were a nuclear fallout, it would survive together with the roaches it seems.
Did you use any rooting powder? I got a small pot last week, but haven’t tried using it yet.
No I just used earth that has extra nutrients in it. I guess extra stuff won’t hurt the plant, though. Especially with more fragile plants.
found this on github 😂
God that’s embarrassing. I’m guessing the fact that the Ukraine spent 8 years shelling Donbas or every second soldier having a black sun tattoo is considered a false narrative perpetuated by Russian state propaganda.
They do. I can’t find it now but there was a link shared on here a few months ago (iirc Wikipedia) which said exactly that.
Looks like someone saw the Notepad++ version naming scheme and wanted to one-up them.
Fuck Ukraine
a new era, a new flag to be raised on a new reichstag
I guess the Kremlin is in the room with us right now.
The amount of mind control yankees are under is beyond my comprehension
‘West bad’ well that’s a bit basic but nonetheless the right conclusion when you look at colonialism
I hope you all have a nice week :D
You too oppo
Thanks :D
This tweet is just blatant false information which is provably false if you read about Chinese socialism.
Maoists are funny. hope the twitter OP grows up
Lmao:
For note, i did notice quite some people larping as Philippine Maoists on various reddit subs and they are always coming with superhot takes like “Government is only a step from falling to our millions strenghts army and 90% support among the people, the only thing keeping them alive is Chinese help”
Or at least, i hope those are westerners larping because if those are real then holy shit.
dear god lol I saw that and I’ve seen similar with NPA twitter larpers being outed as amerikan Red Guards. It’s so cringe. Reminds me somewhat of when u/frgskncht tried to convince people on reddit that he had something worthwhile to say about communism in the Philippines (he was involved somehow or something) and it turned out he was a German living in Germany.
I am interested in knowing what the CPP and NPA are actually doing - do they have control over some land? Are they an inert lumpen party like the Shining Path has become? All seems to depend on who you ask, but none of them seem to really know the answer.
i think it is safe to assume that actual philipino maoist insurgents have more important matters than twitter shitposting to attend to
Chinese protesters: We support SWCC, but please support our struggle for labor rights Online MLM: they are obviously Maoists fighting the oppressive CCP for real socialism
A Twitter link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on Nitter, which is a Twitter frontend that protects your privacy.
Just saw two Twitter liberals arguing that there is literally no alternative to WW3 with China. Both of them had Ukraine flags in their names, so it’s good to know the brainrot is equally suicidal on both sides of the fence.
Wonder if it’s brainrot or ai bots having a go at each other lol
you can post nazi and fasicst stuff on ebay but not socialist cuban stuff… fuck the embargo
have no idea about hiphop but this cover is hilarious 😆
Reading 20th century boys manga and boom china bad propaganda outta nowhere
‘massive crowd, even the chinese goverment is remaining tolerant!’, ‘not been many people here since the student protests!’
My org (along with other, individual, protests) just won a big one today, we won a 660mln euros investment into affordable housing for college students in major university cities, the decision isn’t final yet so the struggle continues, but in the end only struggle pays off!
Edit: aaaand they reverted it, curiously right after that leech zelensky asked for more money, also another big eviction today, militants got injured
Congrats that’s massive, good work
And it got promptly reverted because “it wasn’t the right time” A single room in Milan can cost you 800€ a month, with average salaries for young people of about 1000/1200 a month, here in Rome it’s a bit better but still, about 600 a month. Overall, fuck the bourgeois Italian “republic” and it’s muddening of the word “republic”
