Because they aren’t the same, you can be a jew and not a zionist as well as being a zionist and not a jew.

Both pairs of my grandparents lived under socialism, all 4 of them were in support of communism, primarily because of their children and grand children. They knew what the modern world looked like and hates it just as much as we do. You don’t get that kind of empathy from conservative grand parents tbh.

Thanks for this, been looking for a replacement for Jerboa.

I was in Japan last year. We went to a very secluded but still pretty well known village and stayed at a guest house. On our last day 2 American couples came, the silence which was present and the calm and relaxing environment immediately disappeared. They were loud, invasive and frankly just dumb. One of them started talking to me and when I said I was from a former Yugoslavian country he IMMEDIATELY said “oh from the dictatorship land, glad we freed you guys, your welcome” I’m dead serious.

I know not all Americans are like this, but 9/10 times my experience is just plain bad.

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag!

Oh and just to add, the absolute worse are administration staff not even the medical staff, those people are next level incompetent, rude, lack any empathy or respect.

I don’t hate doctors/nurses/medical staff in general because I have seen extreme competence in the field, just like with any profession there are fuck ups worthy of gulags.

I’ve had family members being told they have 6 months to live because they have a cyst on their kidney and then through other means found out that it’s just a kidney stone. To the reverse where they were going to public doctors for months because of leg pain and as soon as they pay a premium at a private clinic do they get a stage 4 bone cancer diagnosis. It’s insane, truly insane. The fact that people’s wellbeing is being exploited and ruined for profit.

I’m so sorry that you are going through this right now. You truly aren’t alone, the system has completely let people down in most countries.

ML for sure

I know absolutely nothing about politics…

I keep remembering that video of an English guy going “You aren’t into politics? What are you into? Transformers? Pokemon? You man child.”

As others have said get organized, join or create a party.

Irish people continue to be on a based streak.

Have you heard of troubadours spreading the language of love across Europe? Well they originated in Occitania and the language in question was Occitan. Yet it’s common to hear, at least in France, that really they were French and that the language they spoke was just an old French and therefore the language of love is French.

I actually remember this from school, didn’t know they were Occitan and didn’t speak French, thanks for the education!

Welcome comrade

Doing that on the daily yeah, it’s just hard to avoid the anxiety currently since there are real material changes happening all around me because of what is happening.

The last two are my favourite from this list, the cranes and trees on the last one are lovely

I like the internationalism in this one

Setting this as my profile banner as we speak.
