The Euro-American chauvinism, ignorance, audacity, racism, orientalism, and cope that comes out of the mouths of ordinary citizens who consider themselves smart and experienced is just too much for me sometimes.

مرگ بر آمریکا، مرگ بر اسرائیل.

Long live the resistance. Didn’t expect the US to escalate so quickly. Thought there would be at least a couple weeks to try to manufacture consent.

I live above and Italian couple and I guess just by being in close proximity to their internet usage I get suggested lots of italian migrant content in social media and it is just Italians bashing Belgian food lmao

Dutch left reddit already auto fellating for both sidesing the conflict saying Iran needs regime change as well

So far for critical support I guess. But that sub sucks anyway.

I’ve seen a disturbing amount of anti-AES rhetoric lately, particularly on the bear site.

Thought I’d share some more light hearted news as a man walking his dog near a Belgian body of water yesterday found a Caiman wandering around and now a big search has been set up lol. They assume it is released by someone but otherwise climate change is taking up some really drastic forms.

A very prominent figure in the Belgian neolib party (the ruling one) got on tv to talk about Gaza. He called Israel an apartheid State and he says that Palestinians have no other option than to die, live under oppression or flee. He even went as far as to say that if he were born in Gaza he himself would have become a terrorist to fight Israel. He says Israel is one of the worst disgraces of the century.

Now, I was blown away by this. This is even more harsh words than our party leaders use on tv. Like, fuck me man I 100% agree.

And this all goes directly against his own party’s stance too.

news megathread be like:

“China why wont you nuke your entire soft-power to stop the overstretch of the American regime when it’s gonna do what it does regardless?”

Love and support to the people of Iran, Palestine, Yemen and all the people resisting the Zionist entity and Amerikkkan imperialism in mind, heart or body.

I cry for your people and your martyrs. The crimes the western imperialists have inflicted on these lands and these peoples for centuries is too much to bear. Inshallah justice and peace will come soon.

I was at the anti-NATO demonstration in the Hague today. We were with 5000 people and we made a stand, although I wished we were with more. It was pretty international, with the Belgian PvdA and the Turkish TKP participating as well. There was a lot of police for such a small demonstration and they were clearly trying to intimidate us. During the march there were three arrest buses following us which were later joined by police on horseback. On every side street there were always a dozen police officers and a couple of police vans.

Edit: I forget there was also a police van with cameras on top filming everyone the whole time

There were also some pro-ayatollah Iranians present, like not just critical support but full support for the government. The women were all wearing chadors. I heard rumors they were embassy staff, or paid by the embassy, which I don’t necessarily believe. There were times where anti-regime Iranians in the march were clashing with the pro-regime Iranians.

I went to the dentist this morning (boo! Tomato! Tomato!) and the TV was playing a news network called “the 700 club” also known as CBN. I had never heard of it before and was subjected to the most egregious, disgusting, Zionist propaganda I have ever seen on TV. The male host was interviewing the Israeli ambassador to the US and wow, just shitting on Iran over and over while talking up the morality of the IOF. With that comes white supremacist nonsense as well. It was like watching Piers Morgan tbh. I was also unable to change the channel so I just sat there like I was being tortured lol.

Edit: I also stumbled across this TikTok which I feel is very relevant to this discussion thread.

Is Mamdani another AOC or is he more legit?

I hope you all have a nice week :D
