I feel like we’d see images of his face everywhere in a few years just like with Che Guevara
I saw this drawing, I can imagine it on the side mirror of a pickup truck
Oh, damn, did Zay on twitter make this?
Eventually.
YAHYA LIVES FOREVER! YAHYA IMMORTAL!
Who is this? The Hamas leader who recently died?
The Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar who was martyrd by the Zionist occupation forces, yes, that Yahya Sinwar.

It finally dawned on me that I had heard about him elsewhere… here:
To demonstrate how wide the findings are going into the depth Palestinian society we mention here that almost the entire high‐level politicians of the PLO, as well and the majority of Hamas leaders, are of a Jewish origin. This includes Mahmud Abbas (Abu Mazen — a descendant of a family of Rabbis), the late Dr. Saʻeb Erikat, Jibril Rajub (Argov), Maruwan Barguti, Nabil Shaʻat, Khanan Ashrawi, from the Fatah movement, […] Khanin Zuabi, and late sheikh Akhmad Yassin, Ismail Haniʻya, Dr. Mussa Abu Marzuk, Muhammed Def, Dr. Aziz Duwek (a Cohen), and above all Yikhyeh Sinuar from Hamas.
How could I have forgotten?
Only recently did I learn that the Palestinians have a word for their Maccabean spirit: sumud. Learning about how Sinwar perished in combat, I was reminded of something as I was doing research for this thread:
A transport of prisoners from Bergen‐Belsen Concentration Camp arrived at Gas Chamber II of Auschwitz. In the undressing room, one of the Jewish women seized SS man Josef Schillinger’s pistol and shot Schillinger and another guard, Wilhelm Emmerich!
You can see that sumud runs in the family.
Unfortunately, not all Jews choose to harness their gifts; some try to imitate their conquerors instead.
Hope all of you have a great week, and that every Zionist falls down the stairs and breaks their neck. :)
Inshallah 🙏
I also hope you have a great week
Russian soldiers show DPRK pictures and flags in the front line. Very based!
Soviet flag on the left 👀
Going to do a solo trip for the first time in my life (I think?). It’s only two days and not even that far from where I live lol but I’m excited. I’m going to hike along a river through some valley and sleep somewhere along the way.
My relationship is fine if anybody is wondering. We were just discussing doing stuff like this alone the other day and figured I might use my days off in a good way since I’m banned from entering Paris for unrelated reasons.
since I’m banned from entering Paris
The most based person alive.
Banned from Paris?
Ugh, probably some BS anti-communist or political targeting toward you, I bet.
Football actually. My team is playing Paris tomorrow and I wanted to get tickets and go with some friends. Took some time off from work for it. But our away fans got banned sadly.
ah fuck
~~ banned from entering Paris~~
authorities there are cool, they saved you from having to go to France
I’ve come at a point in my life where I feel at my happiest when going to the gym a lot, eating healthy, no alcohol and enough sleep every night.
There was a point in my life at which this would seem boring as hell to me but here I am. Eat, sleep, train, spread communism, repeat.

Going to start a fitfluencer channel soon about how locking yourself in a freezer and eating my special
bull testiclesprotein powder makes you an alpha male
Fuck Linus Torvalds.
fuck that guy. playing finnish card
look at this nazi apologia.
what is this guy talking about?
Soviets force Finland to expel the Nazis after the Finns lose the war they fought alongside them
“See! We finns were antifascist the whole time ☺️”
Impressive mental gymnastics as always lol
To be charitable, I assume this is the cope they teach in Finnish schools lol
Yay another week of work

Been learning more about Korea through Blowback S3 and it is heavy, learning about the Japanese colonial occupation, subsequent US occupation (which is still ongoing) and like Jeju island, how it got targeted with anti-communist violence in spite of even US forces at some point labeling it as communal and not explicitly communist in the way we would think of it politically; and when its people resisted, they were labeled communist, allusions made to support from the Soviets (which were not backed up and just taken at face value - you can see shades of this sort of thing still today, like the recent claim of DPRK forces supporting Russia in battle).
I also see shades of Palestine in it. Though it’s not exactly the same, the brutal treatment of any resistance, the calling resistance terrorists in certain contexts (like in what happened with Jeju island). Much the same brutal colonial violence on repeat, with some of the specifics changed to maximize control over whatever the specific region is. It was really getting to me with Jeju island, with how peaceful and communal they were, and were targeted anyway because they were, from what I can gather about the occupation motives and the Korean collaborators with it, too independent and too much representative of a self-determining Korea. And it makes me think of how the indigenous were treated in order to construct the US, the sheer scope of violence across the world as part of colonizing and empire, so much of which is not in the distant past and the institutions who perpetuated it have not even been dismantled or brought to justice. And then these same institutions have the gall to call themselves “freedom” and “democracy”.
Dark humor side note: I guess this shit is really getting into my head cause I was looking at a video I had bookmarked to help with learning Chinese and the title is “Learn Occupations in Mandarin” and I bet you can guess where my mind went for a split second, the other meaning of occupation. Like could you imagine if there was a video for learning English and it was like “Learn English Occupations”, really could go either way what meaning of the word it turns out to be. “We talking British here or just English-speaking?”
i’m so tired
that link is wikipedia
Matter of historical record. 😵💫
It’s the 26th of October. It will be 21 degrees celsius here today. I’m contemplating about wearing shorts or not. But climate change is a hoax man.
