The alt-text on that image tho: "Mature bearded Caucasian man feeling upset after being resigned from successful company." 😅

They did indeed, but despite the great optics of 100,000 people dressed in red shirts 'drawing a red line', it was in realty full of liberals (including several liberal party representatives who voted to send weapons to Israel) who were shouting down activists who tried to start chants of "free Palestine", "from the river to the sea", and other popular slogans we know.

After the march there were several photos of these red-shirted libs in Starbucks and McDonalds, both of which are on the BDS list and have been specifically targeted by activists. Dutch-leftist twitter and instagram has been abuzz about this and there have been quite some pictures, screenshots, critiques, and warnings about yet another anti-Zionist movement getting overrun and watered down by establishment liberals in the 11th hour after so much of their willful blindness.

Meanwhile every other pro-Palestine protest in NL is treated violently by the police, even today the day after the big fancy redshirt protest. To be clear I don't mean that as a dig against Nakba Day, but against the apparent average attendee. I do sincerely hope these libs start to wake up and actually speak up but this march yesterday was an "approved parade".

Please excuse the rant, it's been bothering me all day.

100% agree Amsterdam Pride is a corporate-led joke. I can't even stomach going to the boat parade anymore, makes my blood boil. Bunch of capitalists, warmongers, and fascists (but I repeat myself) pretending to give a F about marginalized groups without a single hint of irony. Plus the grandstanding of government-approved performative issues of the year (pro-Ukraine and pro-Israel), August here we come.

Hang in there comrade, and to comment similar to another here: for the love of all that is good please never ever ever consume synthetic cannabis again. It's really dangerous, doubly so for a person with PTSD. Spoken as myself some who also has PTSD and consumes real cannabis daily to help my own problems, the synthetic shit is 100% anti-theraputic. If I may kindly suggest, keep working out and staying active (and staying jacked apparently). And try to find some like minded kinfolk to keep you grounded in the real world. I know it's easier said than done, and I'm no perfect example. But I feel for you and hope you can figure it out. Hugs from NL

And 80%+ of the Collective West's citizens will buy it, just like they bought Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Ukraine since 2014. It hurts my sensibilities. Some of the most intelligent people I know buy this shit, every fucking time. Clearly deep knowledge in one area doesn't matter much when it comes to spotting admittedly obvious patterns of propaganda. Sigh...

I came here after GenZedong was quarantined for not blindly following western war propaganda.

Hoping other new users will learn to re-open their minds after being boxed into Reddit/western liberalism for so long. (Won't hold my breath but I do hope)

+1 for Linux Mint Cinnamon. It just works

Not only that, they ignore the fact that Russia passed their law in response to the U.S. suddenly deciding to heavily enforce their FARA law specifically against Russia

Ideally: Would try to heal from the current hell and go back to studying/writing/performing music but I feel like I'm too far damaged to really enjoy it without fear and anxiety that I should be doing something else. So then would try to focus on agronomic research and trying to implement sustainable agri/permaculture at large scale for staple items like grains and tree fruits, and at small/home scale for fresh greens and softer fruits. One can dream.

Most likely: Obsessively try to do everything to protect the revolution and die of a heart attack way too young. I guess I'm channeling my inner Lenin or something.

Don't you wish your GF was...

A shameless war criminal? Nah I'm good.
