En man vid namn Robert Hedarv var bjuden till Jimmie Åkessons bröllop. Hedarv är gift med den ledande Sverigedemokraten Mattias Karlssons exfru. Detta faktum har varit känt sen i somras. Så det är klart att Åkesson visste att Hedarv är gängmedlem. Allt annat är är inte trovärdigt.

I think in many cases the people who explain things are doing a huge service. They’re silently appreciated by many. The true GOATs of the internet.
I’ve read so many great explanations on Reddit for things in math, science, literature, etc and I feel very grateful to the people who explained them.
Oh you don't understand how much reward i get on tiktok for proving my point so much that i get blocked.
It brings me unfathomable joy
Weird to think that human civilization will collapse out of a misplaced sense of fairness where we think it’s better for uninformed people to have a choice
Every one who wants something other then what i want is uninformed.
To the uninformed, no representation for you. Get over it. Go to therapy to cope with your new forever.
"My source is that I MADE IT THE FUCK UP"
- President of the USA (probably in a videogame)
"Of course they would say that. Those Liberal, left wing universities, with their peer review, aren't to be trusted.
These hard-right think tanks (masquerading as anything other than a glorified PR firm they are) on the other hand are the definition of unbiased knowledge"
Or when you bring sources and they straight up ignore them entirely...
I understand not wanting to read or go through the entire Marxist-Leninist books I recommend, not everybody has the time for that, but a 5-20 minute article? You waste more time debating me after the fact than you would have just reading the article, at least do me the courtesy of skimming it and trying to engage with my points.
You've got a bit of a choose your own adventure!
If you consider yourself a liberal and generally against AES like the USSR, PRC, Cuba, etc, Blackshirts and Reds is a fantastic critical reexamination and reads very well. Nothing but constant truth bombs.
If you want to get into Marxism, I recommend The Principles of Communism followed by Socialism: Utopian and Scientific as well as Elementary Principles of Philosophy. An intro/FAQ of Communism, followed by the history of Socialism and how and why Marxism answers the problems with previous Utopian Socialists, and finally the best work on the philosophical aspect of Marxism, Dialectical and Historical Materialism.
If you want some quick reads, I love Why Do Marxists Fail to Bring the "Worker's Paradise?" as well as Socialism Developed China, Not Capitalism. Modern analysis, 20 minute reads, based on what we currently know and not written back in the period of Marx.
Finally, if you consider yourself a Marxist already, The State and Revolution as well as Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism are both Lenin's most significant works.
Really though, the modern works and Blackshirts and Reds are great primers before delving into Marx, Engels, and Lenin themselves.
Eh. By now I'm pretty sure most people just interact with the internet in order to reconfirm their already held beliefs because they expect the algorithm to give them exactly what they want and a few "wrong" things to dunk on easily for bonus points.
They don't need sources they are already right.
I'm wondering how many people skipped your comment because it was too long.
I've had people go "I don't have time to read 3 paragraphs!", as though that's some kind of argument against the point I'm trying to make. Attention spans are down.
Family Member: Russia needs to invade Ukraine because they need a shield against NATO.
Me: But NATO wasn't going to attack them. It's a defensive organization.
That's what THEY want you to believe. (Was not able to clarify who "they" were during conversation, but got the impression it wasn't nato)
It’s also hypocritical. NATO is willing to allow Ukraine to join, but not Russia:
The archives show irrefutably that the U.S. and German governments repeatedly promised to Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not move “one inch eastward” when the Soviet Union disbanded the Warsaw Pact military alliance. Nonetheless, U.S. planning for NATO expansion began early in the 1990s, well before Vladimir Putin was Russia’s president. In 1997, national security expert Zbigniew Brzezinski spelled out the NATO expansion timeline with remarkable precision.
1) The USSR was not murdered, it fell apart after decades of internal mismanagement and multiple leaders who were more invested in swinging their dicks around than feeding their people and dealing with the timebomb of internal ethnic tensions.
2) countries were already breaking away before the 'death' knell, they had been forcibly absorbed into a warmongering empire and wanted no further part in it.
3) reports of 'people thought communism was better' are not a trite thing to fling around, it's a complex issue of fear of change, fuck capitalism live to work ideology, and people from a handful of very select countries who were perched very parasitically on the top of a heap to the absolute detriment of others getting butthurt at losing that position. There is a reason why no formerly occupied country wants to return to the USSR
4). THE USSR WAS LITERALLY DISSOLVED BY ITS FOUNDING MEMBERS
- Not really true. Up to the end, the Soviets were well-fed, there were genuine issues but it was fine. The Economy was slowing down, and the Soviets were still largely planning by hand, which failed to scale well with increasing production, but necessities were more than covered. The system was working, if slowing.
- A few SRs had rising nationalist movements towards the end, but up until the very end the vast majority voted to retain membership in the USSR. It wasn't until afterwards that it began to be murdered from the top, from the botched coup, to the change in leadership roles that allowed for conflicts within what was supposed to be a centralized system.
- Wealth disparity was far lower in the USSR than in post-soviet countries.
On top of this, the majority wished to retain Socialism and want to go back. I don't "fling it around lightly," this is a well-documented phenomenon, Capitalism is worse than Socialism for post-soviet countries. The USSR also wasn't an Empire, nor was it warmongering, it materially supported anticolonial and anti-imperialist movements the world over.
- The USSR was not dissolved by Lenin or the other bolsheviks who founded it, lmao. This is absurd.
the utter irony is what killed the USSR is reforms that would have brought it into line with how you THINK it operated. In reality it was an imperialist genocidal monolith that ran roughshod over many of its "member" states that were in fact for the most part occupied territories. Lets be very clear about that right now.
I have no idea what timeline you are dealing with, but I would also like to remind you that a forcibly oppressed population is not consent. And as soon as the repression began the lift, the riots for independence started and countries broke away. The fact that even after the dissolution of the USSR the majority of former member states wanted absolutely nothing to do with a "free" Russia should be a very large hint for you.
I was not talking about wealth disparity. I was talking about quality of life. This is very well documented.
The founding member states of the soviet union were Belarus, the Russian SFSR (roughly what we consider to be Russia today), the Transcaucasian Federation (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia), and the Ukraine. You know that "union" part of USSR? Yeah, it actually refers to a union of states. And they were the ones who pulled the plug.

No, it wasn't. It was not imperialist, and supported countless anticolonial and anti-imperialist movements. It was not genocidal either.

This is ahistorical, again, the majority voted to retain the USSR and the majority of people say their lives were better under Socialism than Capitalism. This tracks with higher life expectancy, lower poverty rates, and other metrics in the USSR than in present post-Soviet Capitalist states. There wasn't a "moment of lifting repression," in fact repression increased under Capitalism with Shock Doctrine.
I was not talking about wealth disparity. I was talking about quality of life. This is very well documented.
Quality of life skyrocketed over time, they went from one of the poorest states in Europe to one of the most developed in less than a century. It is very well documented that the Soviets went from immense poverty to doubled life expectancy, 99%+ literacy rates, free healthcare and education, food security, democratization of the economy, mass scientific achievement, high rates of home ownership, and more throughout its lifetime.
The founding member states of the soviet union were Belarus, the Russian SFSR (roughly what we consider to be Russia today), the Transcaucasian Federation (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia), and the Ukraine.

Oh, even more absurd, you're pretending countries have souls.
Read Blackshirts and Reds. It's 10 times as hard to debunk anticommunist red scare-era nonsense than it is to firehose falsehoods and half-truths.
It was not genocidal either.
Do you know what decossackization was.
Do you know what the Kazakh famine was.
Do you know what the Holomodor was.
Do you know what the Finnish, Estonian and Polish Operations were.
Do you know what the Khaibakh massacre was.
Do you know what the Deportation of the Crimean Tatars was.
Do you know what the Sumgait pogrom was
Read Blackshirts and Reds. It's 10 times as hard to debunk anticommunist red scare-era nonsense than it is to firehose falsehoods and half-truths.
As a few examples, all straight from Wikipedia, none of what you listed is accepted as genocide, decreasingly so after the openings of the Soviet Archives. It is extremely easy to randomly look up a western list of soviet repressions, and far harder to actually dig into what happened and if it truly constituted genocide. It's especially telling that you ignore the rest of your nonsense that I debunked in favor of perpetuating your firehose tactics, seemingly not caring if even western historians agree with you.
Do you know what decossackization was.
Do you know what the Kazakh famine was.

Nothing in the Wikipedia article covers genocide.
And so on. Again, read Blackshirts and Reds. You might learn something. No, the USSR was by no means perfect, but it wasn't the monstrosity you depict it as either.
- We fucking didn't why the fuck would we have joined NATO and the eu
Edit:If you think I am lying ask someone from a place that got occupied by the USSR most of you just go like: I saw this meme in the shit posting community time to make this my whole thing defending empires that don't exist anymore
Focus on "joy" and hope you are rich enough to feel really good about life until it all blows up?
That seems to be the stance of the younger and the wealthier left, and you can see the nightmare self hatred that is already causing if you aren't.
Yeah it's called a helicopter.
Most of the extremely wealthy use then to avoid traffic and occasionally die in them cause flying is more complicated than SciFi made it seem.
Look at the mansions and companies that all include landing pads. They aren't just for die hard movies.
Right but none are what the past thought of. None of these are cars or street legal really in any way.
Also it's cheating to say no one has died in them if nobody is really flying around them. There have been crashes but like a really limited sample size.
i can't tell if this is supposed to be sarcasm or not but this is godawful moral advice.
"stay comfy and forget about it if you can"
do we or do we not have an obligation to be stewards of the earth? obviously the decision is a personal one. i guess i've decided with my post existential thoughts that we do, and that if you don't agree with me, i don't want you on my team. or the planet for that matter.
Its pretty godawful advice.
But it's advice I do see going around and people taking seriously.
I think it's totally reasonable to ask for a source about a historical claim if something hasn't been true for over a decade?
I tend to front-load my comments as much as possible, to try and avoid just that. Make the main point ASAP. But even then, there’s only so much you can do without sounding messy.
For instance, I front-loaded the part about reader comprehension. All of the “why” is in later paragraphs. But even if they only read the first few sentences, they’ll at least get my overall point.
It does make nuanced discussion impossible though. I work in a pretty specialized field (professional audio) with lots of snake oil myths about what will or won’t make your system sound better. There have been several times that I have seen people parroting this snake oil type stuff as if it is genuine advice. And often, this advice happens because the person only has a surface-level understanding of how audio works. Something sounds plausible, (and they don’t understand the underlying principles that would disprove it,) so they end up perpetuating the myth. So a lot of discussions boil down to “well kind of but not really” and people won’t bother reading anything past the “well kind of” part.
I rather have a source to support a claim instead of "but it's how I feel so it's real! Scientists don't know anything, stop debunk my feelings with facts because I know I'm right! I read it on Facebook!"
We need more reliable and supported sources and less fake news.
Source? Because that's so not true. Birds are an invention by the government, they are robots to spy on us. The government wants us to believe they always existed. It's all fabricated lies created by the government. Source
I fucking hate newsletter emails but this is the only site I registered for one. I'm launching my ass off every single time. 😂 I love satire haha
Use illogical, bad faith arguments to trick them into believing that the sky is blue, of course. People fall for horrible stupid dumb propaganda, it's the nature of humanity. Only like 5% of people are really gonna bother to go actually read studies and shit, I don't even really do that, I just look at the abstracts and then hope that the scientists didn't fuck up and run the study wrong or engage in p-hacking or something. I couldn't afford to go to college and take a statistics course, and my only form of education beyond that is watching 3brown1blue videos at 2x speed interspersed with useless escapist brainrot.
Everyone wants to believe that humans are some highly logical computer creatures that can just be convinced if we get hit with enough rigorous logical argumentation. We're really not. You can make something much more convincing to someone if you validate their ego, or if you incentivize someone into believing a certain kind of truth as a result of their survival in a certain context, right.
Even if we were purely logical beings, that wouldn't even really solve the problem, because we're all exposed to vastly different information landscapes, i.e. every MAGA guy you run into has probably be tweaking out to AM radio for 8 contiguous hours at their job, or socializing with a bunch of insularly sexist, homophobic, or racist good old boys in an echo chamber for most hours of the day, or whatever else, right. So, what hope can you have to change their minds over the course of a 1 or 2 hour conversation? If even that. And double this for everyone out there that spends their time listening to NPR, or has milder takes about things, or even just spends their time passively absorbing whatever propaganda floats at them through pop culture and escapist media consumption.
Also trolls and propagandists employ bad faith tactics specifically to make their opposition do the bulk of the world, which they either ignore after or they just laugh at for some bullshit reason they claim is a gotcha.
There is an Islamophobic author who has been employing shit like in his books since the 90s. It isn't new at all.
This is my first exposure to this idea and it's quite compelling. Couple that with the perceived tone being argumentative instead of inquisitive or ignorant and that's a recipe for disaster.
The fact the algorithms only care about engagement, positive or negative, means rage bait takes over too so that doesn't help the perception that a question is actually an attack.
I first heard about it due to my buddy (a high school English teacher) complaining about how his incoming students were incredibly far behind in basic reading comprehension skills. We ended up having a pretty long talk about it, and he mentioned that all of his colleagues have noticed the same thing.
I did some digging, and discovered that language teachers everywhere have basically been lamenting the fact that the upcoming generation just straight up doesn’t know how to interpret media when it falls outside of their personal algorithms. I ended up talking with another buddy of mine (a writer for a magazine) and he mentioned that they have started needing to change the way they write, because people have simply lost the ability to comprehend what they read. Skimming the first one or two paragraphs is the new norm, even for in-depth news articles. So they have to load as much content into the early paragraphs as possible.

Yep, companies give "unlimited PTO" because it's a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.
Give them 20 days PTO/year? They'll take around 20 a year.
Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.
In France 5 weeks PTO is the minimum. But depending on where you and with who you work, taking a leave can be seen very differently.
You can also have more than 5 weeks but it hides overtime work behind that needs to be accounted else the company can be sued for it. So they sell you a nice job with lots of PTO but in fact they don’t appreciate that you may enjoy what they owe you.
Aight gimme 2 hours, then im on the train, with my laptop. Imma make it then. Gonna set a reminder too
Don't forget that your employer doesn't give you your legally mandated annual leave, it's one of your basic rights, like sick pay (applies to the UK, and hopefully a lot of other places).

My boss summons me for a one-on-one if it's getting late in the year and I haven't taken all my PTO yet.
If I collect too much of it, or too much overtime, without using it, I can get written up.
Sometimes it's not easy either, with 42 days of PTO a year (plus unlimited sick days).
Which means the bosses get in trouble.
I just posted this in a different thread but I had a similar problem, except that my company doesn’t give a shit. Use it or lose it, I don’t get paid for it.
Anyway, had too much so I started taking every Wednesday off. No long time off means I don’t feel like my work stacks up while I’m out, and I get a ton of shit done during the week when everyone else is at work.
What the hell I need to learn to shoot for?

I probably wouldn't classify it that way. It's a cesspool but not really what I'd consider "far right" like say Stormfront.
You'll find people openly arguing with Nazis so it's not really fair to say it's a far right forum as much as it is just a complete cesspool where the worst side of people comes out.
FWIW I wouldn't really consider Telegram a far right forum either even though they're definitely there and highly visible.

Venezuela: What Room for Maneuver Does María Corina Machado Have? (Resumen)
María Corina Machado has not made any public appearances for almost 40 days. After ambivalent statements about her “clandestinity,” she has been accused of preparing to . She insists she is in Venezuela but has not given any proof of this. She affirms, as did Edmundo González when he was applying for asylum in Spain, that she will not leave the country.
Isolation and loss of traction\
Her appearances have been telematic from closed places. Occasionally, she is seen distraught, despite her efforts to show confidence and forcefulness in arguments.
Their last “national mobilization,” scheduled for September 28, dispensed with the plan of mass gatherings and opted for the tactical resource of the “swarm.” The result was an atomized activity without assistance or relevance. In other words, the organization of opposition mobilization collapsed and demonstrated its weakness.
On social media, where the “queen bee” has ruled by riding on the favors of algorithms, she is increasingly criticized for a promise of “cashing out” (cobrar) that has translated into nothing.
The core of Machado’s political destiny lies precisely in that premise of “cashing out” or making an effective regime change, as she has incessantly promised. The mood changed drastically after Edmundo González fled to Spain through the asylum he requested and communicated to Machado just one day before boarding a plane bound for Madrid.
There has been no institutional breakdown within Venezuela. After various calls from both politicians [Machado and González], no military or police authority has taken up arms, and no preponderant element within the security sphere has mobilized in support of their agenda.
The big private economic actors organized in the main business associations have not actively participated in the postelectoral diatribe. They have made a few statements calling for “peace, stability, and work.” They do not participate in the diatribe and, therefore, have not played an open role in Machado’s insurrectional project.
Recently, the government set up a new space for dialogue with Venezuelan opposition parties. The notable absence was that of the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) that supported Edmundo González. González, Machado, and the PUD had published a statement in which they indicated that a real dialogue would only be possible if they participated so that Maduro would give up power and begin a “transition.”
The clearly defiant message demands that Chavismo hand over power. Yet, that message resonates differently with the other opposition parties. Machado and González will once again repeat the strategy of abstentionism. They will pressure the parties not to work towards the next elections. They will call them “scorpions” and will try to contain, by force of pressure, further ruptures in the already fragile image of the anti-Chavismo consensus.
Obstacles and opposing forces\
What are Machado’s real capabilities to materialize a regime change? With what force is Machado capable of demanding that Maduro begin an imaginary transition?
The leader lacks the basic features that could lead to a coup. If we look at the internal picture, there is no high-impact street mobilization, no support from economic actors, and no institutional breakdown in the military. She also does not have the support of all the opposition, and the “leader” is “in hiding.” That is, internally, there is no possibility of “cashing out” in sight.
The only real options for Venezuela’s extremist opposition are in the hands of factors outside the country.
Outside Venezuela, the US mercenary Erik Prince, together with former Venezuelan military deserters, has raised funds to finance a new private coup. This would not be a novelty given the failed “Operation Gideon” of 2020 by Jordan Goudreau’s contractor, Silvercorp, with support from the DEA.
Now, various leaders of the “Ya Casi Venezuela” platform are accusing each other of fraud and individual profiteering from the funds raised. So far, the funds raised seem to be insufficient for a mercenary mission on a significant scale in a place like Venezuela, which, according to its demographic proportion, is the most militarily equipped country in the region.
It is very difficult to know the actual dimension of the organization belonging to Prince and his associates because the flow of information—false or real—is part of the game in the shadows of intelligence and counterintelligence.
Meanwhile, the governments of the so-called “international community,” or rather, the United States and its allied countries, have taken a position not to recognize the re-election of President Nicolás Maduro. Yet so far, they remain reluctant to accept Edmundo González as “president-elect” in self-exile.
Machado, along with her allies and media operators, have launched a campaign to renew “maximum pressure” on Venezuela’s oil activities.
Venezuela has risen to third place among crude oil exporters to the United States. Meanwhile, military and geopolitical tensions in West Asia create a major obstacle for Washington, limiting its ability to apply more illegal sanctions or revoke OFAC licenses.
License 41-A was automatically extended for another six months without any statements from the US government on the matter.
Clearly, any possibility of calculation to effect a regime change, coup, or assassination in Venezuela lies in the designs and actors of the external front, meaning that these options are not in Machado’s hands.
The leader has probably exhausted all her resources and possibilities internally. Time and all elements of real power are against her.

You will not be able to destroy the resistance, and you will not escape accountability for your crimes! Hassan Nasrallah’s memory will live on in the struggle for a free and united Middle East of the peoples!
The racist colonialist state of Israel has doubled down its terror after the 8-hour speech of Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, who has been preventing the continuation of genocide in Palestine, as well as some Hezbollah cadres whose names have not been disclosed. The USA, the bloody enemy of the peoples of the world, has declared its joy over the massacre and announced its complicity in crime. The EU states, which fill their days with demagogery against violence and civilian deaths, are filling the banks with their shameless support for Israel’s genocide in Palestine and its massacres in Lebanon through NATO.
The Arab rulers, who are aparatus of fascism and liberalism from imperialist oppression, have been quick to try to issue a statement saying that those who challenge Israel and the USA will end up like this, instead of standing with the. These attacks on Lebanon, a reflection of no way to cope with crisis, genocidal functions, particularly in terms of commercial relations. Therefore, its words are not for deception bold to matters what than the flower of a single resistance. Together, Israel, the USA, and the NATO-affiliated EU states are laying the groundwork for a regional reactionary (imperialist and genocidal) war.
The massacres, which go along with the united resistance of the peoples of the Middle East! To this end, it has become an urgent task to establish a united front of all revolutionary, anti-colonial, anti- fascist, anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, anti-and U.S political parties and organizations all over the world! The brutal colonial war and massacres that Israel continues with the support and protection of the USA and NATO will unite, more than working class, peoples and workers to raise the banner of honor and freedom, particularly in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia. We call on the peoples of Kurdistan and Turkey to take on the streets, side by side with the peoples of Palestine and Lebanon, against genocidal colonialism! Resistance increases against the genocide! We urge the peoples of Iraq, Rojhelat and Balochistan to protest against the Israeli genocide and assassination politics, without bowing to the prohibition of the Iranian state, which shows only cowardice.
We call on the peoples of Europe not to become accomplices in these inhuman, racist, fascist, and genocidal crimes; to enhance the best traditions created by the courageous youth, women, workers, intellectuals, and artists of Europe in their struggle against Hitler fascism, mobilizing millions to occupy the squares.
Let us not forget that today, the USA and the NATO member states of the EU, which support Israel and defend Palestine and Lebanon in blood, are also preparing to provide the same support to the fascist genocidal Turkish state to destroy guerrilla resistance! The same states are also preparing a large-scale genocidal colonial war against the Kurdish people, the Rojava revolution, and the PKK. Let us not forget that without being satisfied against the genocide and massacres of the racist colonialist Israeli Zionism in Palestine and Lebanon, the massacre and genocide plans against Kurdistan cannot be left in cowardice, and the complicity of the US and NATO with the colonialist Turkish state cannot be forgotten!
Hassan Nasrallah and the martyrs of the Lebanese resistance will not be forgotten, their
memory will live on in the fight for freedom!
Racist colonialist Zionism will be defeated, the peoples of the region will win!

At the funeral tent for the martyrdom of Nasrallah:
Fahd Suleiman: Through resistance and unity, we confront the American-“israeli” project of barbarism in the region
Fahd Suleiman, the Secretary-General of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, stated: “With resistance and unity, we thwart the American-“israeli” barbaric project aimed at tightening control over the region, isolating it, and reshaping its regional equations with international repercussions.”
The Secretary-General of the DFLP was speaking in front of mourners who gathered at the entrance to the Yarmouk camp to bid farewell to His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Hezbollah, who was martyred in an “israeli” airstrike targeting a civilian neighborhood in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
Fahd Suleiman said: “We bid farewell to His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, a distinguished leader who held a prominent place in Lebanon, Palestine, and across our Arab Levant, and even internationally. He was a solid and strong opponent of the zionist project and the United States, and their hegemonic projects in the region. He was deeply humble, steadfast, and deeply committed to his national mission. He never wavered or compromised, remaining clear in his conduct, political discourse, and leadership role.”
The Secretary-General of the DFLP emphasized that the departure of the great martyr, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, has left a political void, but he expressed confidence that his comrades and colleagues in Hezbollah’s leadership would fill this gap. “We are in the presence of a party that relies on a broad popular base that believes in its party, has stood by it, and merged with it in all its battles.”
Fahd Suleiman further stated that the martyrdom of the great leader, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, presents us with a clear vision of the situation in the region, summarized as follows:
1. We are now facing a barbaric American-“israeli” project that seeks to achieve its goals through force, operating on the principle that “what cannot be resolved by force, is resolved by more force.” The United States and “israel,” with all the military power at their disposal, are waging wars in the region aimed at eradicating all forms of resistance—militarily, politically, culturally, and beyond. They have mobilized their air and naval fleets, targeting leaders as well as the societal fabric, aiming to strip the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine of its popular support base, in a strategy that seeks to complete Trump’s project of normalizing Arab-“israeli” relations, but in a more radical and accelerated manner, with the goal of spreading normalization and integrating “israel” into the region, tightening their grip, limiting the influence of China and Russia, and isolating the Islamic Republic of Iran.
2. The way to confront this brutal and bloody onslaught by the American-“israeli” alliance is through comprehensive resistance in all its forms. What we are witnessing now in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria confirms that we are on the right path.
3. As for the Palestinian front, our cause has become a central axis of the struggle in the region, and indeed the primary axis. This requires us to rise to the challenge, which necessitates strengthening the field unity of the resistance and our people at home and in the diaspora. We must abandon the failed reliance on illusory American projects and work to implement the outcomes of the Beijing talks through its three steps: the immediate convening of the unified and provisional leadership framework, the formation of a national unity government to take responsibility for managing public affairs in Gaza as well as the West Bank, and the adoption of a national strategy that reflects a comprehensive Palestinian vision to confront the challenges of this phase, which poses significant risks to the interests, cause, and national rights of our people.

A bright comet will be visible in northern skies soon. How to see it.
Where to look for C/2023 A3 in the night sky
For observers in the Northern Hemisphere, comet C/2023 A3 can be found in the constellation Sextans and will rise one hour before the sun, according to Astronomy.com.
The comet will be best viewed in mid-October, rising up from the western horizon and be visible in the southwestern sky at nightfall, weather permitting. That will likely be its best and brightest appearance until it starts to fade from view by Nov. 7, according to SkyandTelescope.com.

Comet C/2023 A3's coma is about 2.8 feet in diameter and the tail measures about 16.9 feet in length.Its closest approach to Earth will be on Oct. 11 or 12, according to BBC Sky at Night. It will still be about 44 million miles away.
It's so tiny! I'm surprised we can see something that small from such a far distance.
For observers in the Northern Hemisphere, comet C/2023 A3 can be found in the constellation Sextans and will rise one hour before the sun, according to Astronomy.com.The comet will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere in the evening, just after sunset, when it is low in the southwestern sky.
I'm confused. Is the best time to see it just before sunrise or just after sunset??
NEW BLOG POST:
Blabbing.
Read it on my website (recommended):
Or read it here:
I will probably close the gofundme campaign for TROMhome soon. It was likely not a good idea and we are getting no support anyway. We are going to buy the motorhome ourselves and manage the money situation somehow. Problem is after we buy it we will have around 900 Euros all of our money and at best 400 Euros a month from then on. It is a mystery how we will move forward with that, but we’ve been in a lot of financial shit over the years so we will find a way. I hope.
The best support is the 200 for TROM tromsite.com/donate/ – just 5 Euros a month max per person, to distribute the financial pressure on people and make this sustainable. It is damn hard to reach any of these goals that are stretched at the extreme low end of the needed support, but at this point I am tired of it all, so I accept whatever it is. If we cannot support ourselves financially I may shut down some of the TROM.tf services and move the project to a cheaper server. Will see…
So I am bouncing around in my head these days between extreme excitement about the motorhome, and terrible concern about what we do after we buy it.
I am also very eager to create more stuff for TROM, content wise, but well these next months I will be busy with the motorhome life.
I am trying to not let these failures with the gofundme campaign or 200 for TROM destroy my thin layer of motivation that has been getting thinner and thinner over the years. In a way I feel like an old man retiring after many years of work. In the sense that TROM had a lot of traction in the beginning, then I pushed a lot with TVP, I made books, articles, videos, managed many “social” networks, whatever, and now for the past few years I got tired of being fucked by these “social” networks who won’t even show your posts to your followers, so I retreated myself into the fediverse. Friendica, Peertube, and the like. Losing even further the little reach we had. But I love these places, they are cozy and sane.
However I have no clue if anyone is still interested in TROM or these sort of projects. Even the few people who got to be active and involved and we became good friends because of TROM, got sucked into the system.
I have great friends now, super exciting plans with the motorhome, but I don’t have TROM that much. TROM is a side dish, after it was the main meal for many years between me and the people I got to know online.
As you can see, the “old man retiring” blabbing about the past. But in the thing is that TROM is as relevant as it was 10 years ago. The “trade as the origin of most problems” I think is one of the most important ideas out there. The content that we’ve made, the projects that are still alive, are all very relevant. It’s just that this society sucks everyone in. Jobs, netflix, wars, elections, money, stress, day to day bullshit, consume, ads….hard to focus on TROM-like things.
But anyway, I will let the TROMhome project become part of my life, or vice-versa, and I am not giving up on TROM anytime soon. I have a lot more to do, but at times it helps me vent, so I let my brain share bits of my frustration into the interweb, almost like a modern prayer 😀 – maybe someone is listening, or cares, or doesn’t. I certainly don’t care, it simply helps me to write :D. I used to keep an offline journal years ago for such reasons, and this is similar, but well….public since it has a lot to do with the many public projects I am doing.
Ok.

For devops, it's amazing. We use many tools that we are not experts in, and it's incredible to get ready to use code examples how to configure them for various scenarios.
I save many hours every week using open Ai latest models.
