    I wonder if Lemmygrad will get some form of notice in some history books as an example of being a platform of communist thought

    The Dutch government is now asking employers to raise the wages, but it won’t do anything to enforce this right now. This is to tackle inflation.

    Let that sink in for a while.

      Also, one of the biggest right-wing nazi apologizing parties in The Netherlands (Forum voor Democratie) is now looking to open up their own school with their own way of teaching.

      This is coming from the people that doubt the holocaust happened etc. Surely this can’t go wrong.

      It’s an interesting time in The Netherlands, that’s for sure.

      All the liberals I’ve met in the Netherlands all seem to see the FVD as some kind of joke, “Nobody takes them seriously!”, the exact sort of passive ridicule that allows these groups to grow their influence unhindered.

        And in a few years, when we have actual fascist groups ‘educated’ by this school, they’re the ones complaining.

        This is how those things start. Thierry started as a softer but weirder right wing guy and it led to him spewing neonazi bullshit eventually. Now he starts a school. Next he starts a summer kampf. What’s next?

        I don’t have the solution for this problem right now, I admit. But something has to be done, right?

    So it turns out there is a gigantic museum of various vehicles and machinery in Ekatirenburg (formerly Sverdlovsk). It houses, among other things, an incredible collection of Soviet cars, motorbikes and other things. For example - Soviet racecars. Turns out, not only there were numerous designs of those in USSR, but they were being designed and manufactured in Estonia. Does Estonia sound like a place that could be making top-end racecars nowadays? Yeah.

    The other neat part is the collection of automobiles for Soviet government officials - various Chaika models and similair designs. Including one with a fully-armoured capsule inside the vehicle, and a model that was used to transport Gagarin to Kremlin after his flight (probably not the car though).

    According to new Dutch economic figures 1 in 10 Dutch children will grow up in poverty according to today’s standards.

    Meanwhile you have people that need to pay 500-600 euro’s extra each month to pay for gas and electricity.

    It is a truly mental situation. The percentage of people in poverty next year will be 7,6%. This can’t go on any longer I hope.

    Edit: the Bureau of Statistics states that it actually is an understatement. Reality will be worse.

      It was on the 77th anniversary of the Japanese surrender (of fucking course western media leaves this part out because who cares about Japanese war crimes anymore huh).

      The subject was wearing a kimono and locals called the police. She was completely uncooperative which led to her arrest. Wearing a kimono on such a date would not just be an “anime fan” being cute, it’s provocative as hell lol.

      Even South Korea was having reenactments of Korean people beating up actors dressed up as the IJA. All of a sudden when imperialist apologia happens in China it becomes a suppression of free speech which is then blown up on western media by all the liberal traitors (one of which is a former CCTV anchor and now resides in Japan, who now advocates that we forget all these anniversaries because Japan good).

      A few random articles from searching on Baidu:

      Link 1

      Link 2

      As for all the “the government not the people” types… well if the PRC government were to be destroyed, the nation and the people would cease to exist and only be under a state of permanent enslavement and slaughter by those nations stained in the blood of innocents yet still call themselves “civilised”.

        Holy fuck Baidu captchas are sick. Rotating the image till its correct was a neat little experience that shouldn’t have me as happy as it does (holy fuck my life is so miserable a unique captcha makes me happy).

        It does seem in very poor taste to wear a kimono on that date.

        The equivalent would be an English person rocking around in a British soldier uniform during the anniversary of the Derry massacre in Derry and then acting like it’s fine cos they play airsoft or something.

        Tone deaf.

      Cats do be mental in their drive to escape. Everything you need is here, cat. Stay pls.

      Compared to you living in a country in active war, my day’s pretty good. Apparently a big yacht is docking close to where I live and some people said we should egg the thing. It started out as a joke but I think it will get a bit more serious the later it gets. It’s owned by some British billionaire twat I believe.

    The drug war in this city is really getting out of hand it seems. There have been at least four shootings in six days, combined with multiple bombings. 1 person died, 1 is severly injured and multiple people have been kidnapped. It’s even happening in every part of the city it seems.

    The right wing mayor blames it all on the national government and he wants to get more money for police and army intervention. Which will all target poor people of course, and we can see the effectivness of it by looking at the results of the War on Drugs.

      I was chatting with them fairly regularly and they said they wanted to lessen the amount they spend online and touch grass more which is fair.

      That was days and days ago though 😞

      I hope its just a serious grass touching session and nothing sinister.

    The absolute state of war propaganda: There are grown adults who believe that Russia’s master plan is to destroy the power plant, nuke themselves, and declare war against all of Europe for no actual reason besides “Russians are evil”
