  • I got sick and tired of right wingers on instagram pages being absolute smug shits that I have decided to start two foot tackling comment sections and... it seems to be working? Like I am somehow getting hundreds and hundreds of likes on a comment, effectively ratioing them every time.

    This is what my life has become. Instagram beefing with losers.

    But at least my idea of showing balls and not showing fear to these edgelords seems to be working.

    • What does it mean to two foot tackle a comment section? I am amused you're seeing success with whatever this strategy is lol

      • What prompted me to do this is right wingers and far right militias like the one who got sentenced yesterday in Belgium being able to seemingly say whatever they wanted in the comments. I'm talking about militias who posted Pinochet memes about throwing Belgian left wingers out of helicopters, militias who posted pictures of them flexing their biceps in front of a cup that said 'left wing tears' etc.

        I was wondering: 'why isn't anyone calling them out on their LARPish behavior?'. They were getting too comfortable in posting shit without the backlash. The only thing I saw happening was left wing people debating these Nazi fucks. But the thing is, you're not going to win a debate with a people like that. These are people who have no problem lying, spouting bullshit or outright insulting you the moment they may lose face. And why would you even want to convince a nazi shit in the first place?

        I figured that if I wanted to talk to people like myself, as that's my only real reference, I might need another approach next to these people. The two foot tackle is an illegal move in football (soccer) in which you charge into someone with two feet forward. It is banned because you can easily hurt your opponent. Under the premise of 'Make racists afraid again' I wanted to try out being a little shit myself in these comments. After all, if you are posing as a tough guy on the internet, be prepared to get a reaction.

        So I started doing just that. Post a picture of Pinochet under a left wing page? Here's a nice little picture of Barbara Pit you shit. A left wing page posts a screenshot of a politician saying something nasty on Twitter or Instagram? I'll tag the person in the comment and call him a shit talking wanker. A right winger defending a convicted Nazi because of free speech? No, you're living in a fantasy and you're a loser. A famous Belgian Nazi gets sentenced to prison? I'll comment that we are going hard on 'right wing tears'. Etc.

        I'm not debating right wingers/outright nazis with this. I don't feel like doing that, because that's usually not even the game they play. This is the game they play and it has worked for them so far. I also don't always want to reach other left wingers with this. I feel like the guy with a hamsic pfp will probably agree with me regardless of what I say. With this, I hope to appeal to the people on the fence, lurking at these pages. I want to achieve that other people see my comments (which I probably stupidly enough post under my actual, real life account) and think: 'yeah, I don't have to be nice to a Nazi. I don't have to debate them and I don't need to be scared of them.'

        And it works. People actually help me in the responses by just dunking on the Nazi's that come out of the trash.

    • Instagram sucks depending on how you use it.

  • Why are you all so cute? What business do you have being so cute, huh? 🤨

    I love you all. 🥰

  • Yet another netflix show with an unhealthy dose of anti-communist propaganda ( the signal ). At this point i am convinced that these netflix shows need to fulfill a certain quota per movie/show to be allowed.

    • watching Netflix

      You've done that to yourself.

    • Pretty much, to get green lighted for broadcasting you need to be at least non-committed to communism and socialism. If you want to have funding to even get your idea put into movies then the more anti communism and pro reactionary you go the better. Extra funding and help from the imperial core governments if you just out right makes propaganda for capitalism, imperialism and willingly sells out your fellow proletariats.

    • Don't forget Stranger Things.

  • I was told I'll get a call with the surgery date this week. I wonder if this time it's true.

  • My surgery is at the end of next month. What a lying bunch of twats. There's other bad news but I don't have a need to give the details. I hate this country so fucking much. I hope it burns.

  • An elderly man I know (far into his 90s) will probably die soon. He is on hightened supervision for now during what will be his last days. He is a very religious man.

    What I admire is how much at peace with dying he is. He says it's all okay for him because, according to him, he will be reunited with God and his long deceased wife soon.

    I'm not a religious person but I think this is a nice thing for him.

  • I'm in multiple social media groups for our party and the amount of work all these people do is amazing. It's a day and night effort to reach as many people as possible, all day every day. They deserve a better world.

  • Wednesday is coming to an end. Still no call from the hospital. IDK, I don't believe they'll call tomorrow or on Friday. ;__;

  • Can the hospital please finally call today?

    • I called them. Still no news. I was told my email was forwarded to them. The person who picked my call also said he will call them and email me the outcome. This is such a mess and management at my work also needs to know to organize around, so they keep asking me, and idk either. Very stressful.

      • They said they'd send me an email with an update, but I didn't get one and I think their shift is over or will be over soon. Can my suffering please end...

  • My cat has a tooth inflammation. She refuses to eat most of the food, despite obviously being hungry and I'm going back to work tomorrow, so I most likely will not be able to get her to a dentist vet soon

  • How do you all combine organising with school and/or work? And is the organisation you're organising with sympathetic to you not always being available due to other responsibilities?

    • We have a meeting once a month in which we discuss upcoming actions. It's usually in the evenings on a weekday. Depending on the actions we plan we either do them during the weekends or during the evenings throughout the week. Individual planning of things can be done whenever you want.

      But that's just our local group. For more party wide thing you usually get a call from someone asking you to come along to things. In Antwerp we often go to factory gates in the harbor at 5 am to talk to workers starting their shifts. I always do feel a bit of judgement whenever I decline to go (because I don't have the time to do that every week) but honestly that's their problem I guess. There are also things I don't like to do for them. I'm not that great at bothering people to become a member at our events. I don't like working with kids either, so I won't do that.

      I want to do a lot of things for them but I also want to be able to set my own boundaries and it's up to them to decide whether or not they have a problem with that.
