…I was actually requested to say this line by the person who told me I sound like Viktor and at the time I completely missed the reference. And now I miss the reference even on hexbear…

While I understand the intent behind your expression I will have to stop you right there.

There is no such thing as a “Diputs nation”, my nation is the Earth and my compatriots are all of humanity. If you wish, you are free to use “Diputs commune” instead.

That aside I must say that right now I feel a great sense of hope for my own future, as I sense that my studies are on the cusp of new breakthroughs. As well as great hope for the world as the US continues its decline and China continues its ascent.

Oh, you really weren’t kidding when you said you can see this right outside your window.

It reminds me of my nightmares of seeing nuclear bombs detonate on the horizon. I hope you can move away from this as soon as possible.

someone heard my voice for the first time yesterday and told me I sound like Viktor from Arcane, which is the exact same comment I got from someone else who has been my friend for 3 years when they heard my voice for the first time, i must say i feel quite honored

but 2 days ago in a conversation with my family my sister told me my voice sounds american and i still feel slightly insulted

I still hope I can whip the algorithm into shape eventually, I mostly stick with it because my choices of places for posting what I draw are just too limited to abandon it completely.

However, if you got no such attachment I will say that not bothering with it is the best course of action, the discover feed radiates so much smug liberalism someone should make a new unit of measurement for it akin to the units used to measure radiation. I feel like I got a near-fatal dose.

as much as I hate to admit it twitter was far superior to bluesky when I used it, on the second day of setting up twitter my “discover” feed was already exclusively artists, communists and photographs from socialist countries

now on bluesky I constantly press the “I beg you please show me less like this” button and when I make the mistake of going to the “discover” tab all I discover is brain-melting liberal smugness from some random folks like “Jon Cooper” blueskeeting #resist impact font memes or even outright US senators blueskeeting about how they are also #resisting Trump

I AM NOT AMERICAN, I AM NOT IN AMERICA, GET THESE GODDAMN YANKS OUT OF MY FACE, BLUESKY, I BEG YOU

i just found out that one of the artists i like is a gramsci-quoting karl marx-reading red to the bone communist, which is really nice to see

but they exclusively draw erotica (they are really good at it) so i can’t really share a link to their profile with anyone

including me I know of 3 people here from Romania

😔

fun fact, at one of the universities in the region there was an ENTIRE event celebrating this 3000 hectare tumor, they brought out the american soldiers to visit as well, pictures of campus looked like military occupation photos

Thank you, I now wish to scream at the clouds after reading that.

We are very far away from the future where all join hands and sing the Internationale together. But the distance is not infinite.

An absolute legend made a song about our modern working class hero.

Titled: Deny. Defend. Depose

Posting this in the music comm too.

SMH I was about to post this juicy new development. Since when were you so fast.

Holy crap I can’t believe that a Romanian hasanabi exists (with 1% of the audience but still 18000 followers for what seems to be a communist-adjacent streamer in ROMANIA is mindblowing). Currently checking one of his VODs and he seems to know some theory, I still can’t believe he exists.

That’s good to hear, I have a bunch of colleagues that kept talking about SENS being their only real option, this and SENS almost getting parliamentary power is indication that a growing number of people (out of the 50% of the population that bothers to vote) are getting closer to actual leftist ideas. SENS are no communists but everyone has to start somewhere.

If the reactionaries start shouting the slogan “AUR POT cu SOS!” I am afraid the coalition will become a foregone conclusion, no one could resist a slogan that ridiculous. It might even become the verse of a new manea.

Out of curiosity, how far away was SENS from getting the coveted 5%?

I just wonder what exactly caused the PCR to devolve into such a state as to allow Ceaușescu to gain control, was the party compromised from the start or was it some combination of unfortunate circumstances and conditions that led to him? If you perhaps know of a good book about the internal workings of the PCR please let me know.

The regional breakdown of the two candidates is pretty much a slider where the more urbanized a place was, the more votes went to Lasconi and on the opposite side the more rural a place was the more votes went to Călin. As far as chances for a military coup go I’d say it’s quite slim, but decades are happening in weeks here, so we can’t entirely rule it out.
