I can’t wait to leave my family
for any indian comrades, what is r:librandu
I’m currently in China, hotspotshield isn’t working. I’ve tried connecting to things through tor but a lot of logins don’t work, can anybody help me?
I can’t wait for my vacation. I’m feeling burnt out pretty badly.
Same lol. What are you going to do?
Actually going on a trip to see some falls. Last time I didn’t plan anything and didn’t end up relaxing at all.
So our party keeps joining school debates in which politicians go to school and debate in front of the students. Our reps regularly not beat but just annihilate the competition with like 60% of the student votes ✊🏼
Sounds like the kids are alright.
Capitalism has programmed me in such a way that I am scared to call in sick for 1 day. I may have been breathing in mold for weeks now and my lungs decided to stop functioning now and even though my manager said it’s fine I still think to myself: no, I can’t call in sick it’s not that bad and I have work to do.
Hope you will be alright
Thanks, will see a doctor this evening and probably get meds, should be okay
what is this book and is this legit or propaganda
The Stalin Cult: A Study in the Alchemy of Power
that title seems like AI lmao
The fun thing about working at a union is that every week it’s a gamble to see which supplier they are fighting with. A while ago the Union had beef with Coca Cola because of some issues in their distribution center and we didn’t have sodas for for a week or two. Now the vending machines are taped shut because of the Israel boycott.
Fuck I’d love to see some of this in Poland. But nope, best you get is Solidarność stepping in to save the business side or some tiny actions by Związkowa Alternatywa, who are knee deep in shit with lawsuits, or by Inicjatywa Pracownicza who are currently occupying a dormitory of Uniwersytet Jagielloński…
Fucking beef that renders vending machines non existent because of Israel. What a dream.
Solidarność still exists?
And has a monopolistic stranglehold on unionization in Poland. It’s closest equivalent I’d say is the American AFL-CIO.
Solidarność
I met a woman at the grocery store who wanted to chat. She justified me being out of a job as “ohh you’ll find another you’re a workaholic like me” and paraphrasing "not like all those lazy Poor’s ".
I told her I believe that most are doing the best they can and that we should help those in need if we have the ability too.
She tells me I should read this book “the power of positive thinking” (obviously it’s about gas lighting yourself). I told her I prefer to feel my anger about what’s wrong and direct it in the direction it needs to go to make real change.
She then proceeds to talk about people less fortunate that she has helped. People who can’t care for themselves, her kids who don’t make enough money to pay bills…
Point is:
It’s interesting hearing the contradictions someone has to make to justify the world we live in… Well, to see it in the wild anyway.
I don’t know how likely it is that we can change someone like that’s perspective, but at least folks around us heard the one who is angry is also the positive one and makes good points. Thought I would share some organic praxis I engaged in today
Best of luck out there
I hope you all have a nice week :D
You too :D
I would wear that outfit with you!!!
How can I have a nice week when I still do not have trains to ride!
AWWWWWWWWWW… ok that makes up for the lack of trains… the ball makes a goofy sound
Witnessed! :D
Did you buy something?
I got a coffee from the connected cafe. It was good!
You got an Oppofee
:D
You don’t mess with monkeys, haha
You too oppo!
Another week another Oppo W
yes, and a merry 168-hour experience to you as well
Arguing with zios is so fucking exhausting
I browsed all from my lemmy.ml account this morning and seeing the comments and posts from .world made me feel the same.
I am reading Che on the train to work at the Union. Why yes I am a communist, why’d you ask?
I hate my new job
Why
i work in a warehouse so im walking in circles for 8 hours while always having to carry a bunch of heavy stuff
im tired all the time now ahhhhh
You wanna see brain rot lmao
The second I see “Canada” I physically recoil lol, I can already imagine the absolute travesty in what you linked 🥶
Edit: I briefly looked at it and all I can think is “why the fuck is this blatant hate subreddit allowed to exist?” I thought hate speech and shit wasn’t allowed on Reddit, haven’t certain subs been banned because of it (like r/thedonald or whatever)? Also the internalized racism in this person is so…
this whole subreddit is mindfuck
We made some cards with the faces of our representatives on them. Like those Panini football cards style.
Thing is, our reps are pretty much local people. Teachers, workers, some social media figures, etc. They are a huge hit lol. Everyone wants a card of their local rep it seems. I heard they were even used as some trading cards in some schools.
I have a wouter at home
As every respected member of society should
