I've debated whether or not I should post this, but I've been feeling quite disappointed with the quality of comments on Hexbear threads recently.

Since many threads are crossposted between here and there, I would often read the comments on both threads for different perspectives (and to be honest, for more content in general).
In the last few weeks, however, I've been finding myself again and again in situations where I read the Lemmygrad thread and it's completely fine, and then when I check the Hexbear crosspost I would find the comments to be, for lack of a better phrase, an absolute dumpster fire.

Not sure if it's just me, maybe unlucky coincidences, or something of a pattern that I've just missed.
I don't mean to be negative, it's just been bothering me lately.

Hey everyone, have a great week! Keep up with your goals, stay dilligent, and be sure to find some time to relax as well, if you can.

As always, communism will win.

lol petro is such a gigachad, he released his bank statements on his own will with charges at a strip club and some fancy store lmao. He is now daring his opposition to also release their bank statements.

"I am not a drug dealer, i just like Gucci and strippers."

EU is fuming about Belgium not willing to use frozen Russian asset money to further fund Ukraine. Basically the only good thing our government is doing now.

Btw Have a good week Oppo

From Cuba! Solidarity with Palestine!

Went to the protest today in my city that PSL organized, to protest against the aggression towards Venezuela. Very small turnout. Public reception was 99% positive, only one angry heckler.

Dutch public broadcast finally showing balls by withdrawing from Eurovision

Finally took a kickboxing class. Any communist should learn how to defend themselves

Finished Immovable Object: North Korea’s 70 Years at War with American Power by A. B. Abrams [2020] a couple of days ago, which ends it’s analysis half-way through 2020, and immediately started his 2025 book Surviving the Unipolar Era: North Korea’s 35 Year Standoff With the United States. A lot of rehashing in the beginning, but obviously understandable considering it’s a different book.

I would highly recommend Immovable Object to anyone interested in the DPRK, especially since it’s analysis is much more detailed and in-date than the (still good) 2017 Gowans’ book.

EU is speedrunning losing the support of one of their most pro EU member states and I'm in the front row seat eating my popcorn lol.

Please Belgium swallow the boot and take on a potential 200 billion debt all by yourself because we won't give you any guarantees.

From Belarus! They have the guerrilla Santa!

Belgian prime minister just got a full, 100% support on his stance on the Russian assets by all parties. This country has never been this united about something lol.

So how many mass shootings happened in the US this past black friday?

I don’t know why, but this weekend lemmy.ml has been swarmed by Reddit-brained turbolibs. Some broke out their June 2023 alt accounts to vote brigade.

Nice website you got here.... it would be a shame if someone posted on it 👿👿👿

Going from Twitter to Rednote is so jarring. They're so nice I get scared

Learning more about the history of Ryukyu and Okinawa and how they are oppressed by Japanese occupation, I think we should use their native names instead. Ruuchuu for Ryukyu and Uchinaa for Okinawa

I hope you all have a nice week :D

From Mexico, rally in solidarity with Venezuela!

Migrating has sometimes been a struggle with autism, even though I went to a country that has to some extent similar cultural values.

I found a cool poster of John Brown to share

I like the halo, kind of like an orthodox icon

There's this football club in town I visited today and parts of their stadium were packed with left wing stickers despite them not being known for left wing supporters so I kinda wonder what's brewing there. Would be cool to have a left wing club here. Our party is the biggest in the club's district of the city so who knows. Maybe the people there found their way into the club.

How do you change your account's password? I forgot mine again lol. I don't remember how I changed it the first time, but the Change Passwords thing under account settings isn't helpful because you have to input your current password to create a new one. 💀
