If you can handle tiktok style social media RedNote is worth checking out. Seeing people having class consciousness and openly supporting communism in the comments lifts my spirits. Seeing that there really are a ton of communists around the world, that it's possible for a big country to be full of people with good political education, it helps.

A lot of videos on RedNote are showing women with their scarves barely hanging or, or even not wearing head scarves, so I'm thinking the eternal battle between Iranian women and the morality police is going well.

Yeah I'm just kind of shocked that there apparently isn't any evidence of federal coordination of a nation wide violent police response. It's a lot easier for me to accept "The feds helped/coordinated/did it" than believing a bunch of useless uni admins pulled together effective national scale police repression without help, especially given the enormous number of mechanisms that have been built up since 9/11 for exactly this kind of wide-spread repression.

I would pay money to see Brace Belden kill and eat Ethan Klein live on twitch.

For me personally; Star Wars and related woke but still corporate media have a level of removal from actual events that allows me to get through it without crying. I can't watch Battle of Algiers. It's too much. Like basically any story about real world struggle, even if it's pretty fictionalized, has me ugly crying these days. : (

The way star wars is is that there's a good one (a new hope) and then there's a gooder and more militant one (Empire) and then there is a later gooder and even more militant one (Revenge) and then an even more militant one (Rogue One) and then a most militant one where John Star War looks directly in to the camera and says "Go outside and shoot a police officer with a light saber".

I'm a big advocate of "Hey, I'm uncertain what the vibe is with us and I want to clearly state my position to make sure we're both on the same page"

Like, rather than waiting for a "Good time" to tell them. It's super awkward but it cuts out a bunch of ambiguity.

Does Nexus have an offline coop patch yet? I think the offline patchers run their own P2P thing that doesn't go through Easy Anti Cheat so that might be a way, but you'd probably need to know people to copnnected to to them.

 

Does anyone have anything concrete on the Biden regime aiding, coordinating, or assisting the crackdowns on college campuses in the USA last year?

I'm looking for something to throw at a lib. I'd thought that DC coordinated the crackdowns but I can't find anything at all, all the news sources I can dig up either make vague claims based on Biden's speeches or don't talk about any kind of coordination.

I'd be frankly shocked if the waves of repression across the country weren't coordinated in some fashion by some body. Since US policing has been steamlined and vertically integrated since 9/11 I assumed their would be documents showing it was coordinated by federal authorities through police intelligence fusion centers, national intelligence briefs, things like that but I cannot find anything. Before I eat my crow and admit I was wrong does anyone have anything showing federal coordination and involvement?

 

Just humor me; Would Europe launch it's whole military at the US if the US invaded Greenland?

 

I'd never really seen it all laid out nearly like the author does int hair article.

 

Greetings Comrades. today's update is just one item. Going forward "llm" text generators will be referred to as KKKlocks that Lie.

 

Edit: I got a better look at the surveillance video. Looks like what is actually happening is that the guy's gun is under-gassed. The rounds aren't producing enough energy to fully cycle the weapon, resulting in jams or requiring him to manually chamber the next round. There goes the professional international assassin theory, I'd think a professional would test their set up to make sure everything was adjusted to cycle properly.

The way these are set up - When you fire a normal semi-auto pistol the energy from the shot pushes the slide back so the gun can chamber a new round. You can then fire again immediately.

With these things the slide is locked closed when you fire. That means the slide doesn't move, which means it doesn't make noise. All the gas goes out the barrel through the suppressor. The brass stays in the chamber.

All of this combines, with the right silencer and ammo, to make a gun that is ridiculouslly bad action movie quiet. If you're standing right next to it you'll hear something but it's not going to sound like a gunshot.

Idk what the hell is going on here but it sure does look like some cool John Wick level shit.

 

There's an uncomfortable comfort in shitposting through the coolzone again after all these years. And yeah, I do kinda want to see some kid micro-ing a few hundred drones through an air-defense network.

 

This is specific to America bc it looks like there are labor fights going on in Canda, France, Worst Korea, and maybe some other places over rail contracts right now.

Someone was saying "Biden pushed back and blah blah blah railworker contracts" and being the shitty little hate fueled imp I am I went try to find out what happened. Well wouldn't you fucking know it, the rail workers who are most in need of improved working conditions, the people who actually operate the trains, haven't agreed to shit?

It's confusing as fuck trying to sort through shitty Google links and labor hostile/company friendly press. This little tidbit, that the people who absolutely need better working conditions don't have them and don't have an agreement to get them, was hidden in the fine print if it's mentioned at all. If anyone who is more familiar with this can check my work and confirm that my basic thesis;

  • Railway companies gave contracts to the people who are not critical to the operation of each individual train, but have not made a deal with people who must be on the train for the train to operate

is mostly correct?

Funny enough, the Trots at WSWS seem to have the best reporting but I can't really use that with anyone who doesn't already speak Maoist Standard English. The most recent article on the US rail labor contracts I can find dates to ~November 13, where it looks like all the papers bought one AP or Reuters release and each re-formatted it for their own websites. Nothing really since then unless there's a secret labor journal I don't know about.

For context Libs on Bsky are passing aroudn this fascists shithead's bullshit book "On Tyranny" as a manual for "resisting authoritarianism" THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE YOU LIBERAL SHITWIPES!

 

Don't normalize the regime! Don't normalize the regime! Don't normalize the regime!

What's his example of things people normalized? State surveillance? Violence against undocumented people? The Muslim ban? Assassinating protestors? No. NO NO NO NO.

What does he use>?

FUCKING RUSSIAGATE!!!

This man is being upheld all over bsky as some kind of fucking "authoritarianism" whisperer and he's a complete fucking hack. Some absolutely fucking arcane nonesense made up bullshit that is NOT ACTIONABLE. People can't do shit if the POTUS wants to get information from the fucking FSB. It's not in the scope of their lives.

"do not obey in advance" do not fucking obey what? Do not obey the president called Vlad to get drinks? How do you do not obey that? Fuck this fucker. Nothing about resisting the cops, nothing about immigration, nothing about security and surveillance, nothing about anything that fucking matters! FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

This is exactly, exactly, why I made this fucking thing

Fuck. FUCK LIBERALS FUCK THEM FUFASKLFGEJ:FJKL:ASEFGJHK:ESFpaerwuipa fufkcing liberal scum collaborator vichy shitstain fucking fucks they're going to stay home eat brunch and sell out eveyrone fuckadjkgfa;lkdsgj fuckckckckckk!

This man is a fucking menace,. Yes we'll just ask the fascist militarized police and genocidal imperialist military to practice mindfulness and just not do fascism please idfk this is so bad. This is so fucking bad this is so bad. I guess on the plus side this only has like ~10k views so no one is actually seeing this shit but god damn.

And he's still whining about j6. What a fucking loser.

 

There's a lot of text in this one so I'm going to do the main body here instead of alt text

Orrr... not damn that didn't save. Sorry. I'm burned out right now if anyone could do the alt text for this I'd appreciate the assist.

 

She's so cool.

Even if you're a committed pacifist you should know how to check if a gun is loaded, remove the magazine, remove a loaded round from the chamber, and activate the safety.
