Great news: the soviet union never fell! Russia is a communist country! Or at least that’s what my dad said to me when I told him that the soviet union fell in 1991 and it was a huge TV event. He just said “no it didn’t”, lol. The man is 60. He’s a regular “left” leaning liberal, so this confuses me. Does he think the fall of the soviet union was some sort of false flag op or some shit???
I’ve seen people who think Putin is bringing back the USSR but this is a whole new twist to that idea.
he probably just has such a terrible understanding of the USSR and modern Russia that he thinks the change was in name only and feels smart about seeing through this clever communist trick
Ive heard so many American liberals say that modern Russia is communist lol
remembered I have a lemmygrad account today
lemmygrad really gotta up your emoji game ffs. Only ONE (1) salute emoji? My brother in christ we have one for like every famous communist.
I’ve been on here for good while now and I still don’t know how to use emojis not gonna lie. I think we only got them on lemmygrad recently so maybe people arent used to using them yet
Now you know the struggle against revisionism by looking up Hexbear emotes on Github smh
I hope you all have a nice week :D
⚡️SUMMARY of Al-Qassam’s spokesperson, Abu Obeida:
• We remind the world that the Al-Aqsa flood was not the beginning of the resistance work, but rather was the explosion in the face of the enemy’s crimes.
• 9 months have passed since the start of Al-Aqsa Flood, and our people are still exposed to Zionist-American aggression and genocide.
• 9 months have passed and our resistance is not tired, and we are still resisting without external support of weapons and supplies, and our people are still steadfast without food or medicine.
• The crimes of the occupation culminated in systematic cleansing and extermination in the West Bank, Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip.
• The occupation army uses civilians as human shields, bombs homes, and invades hospitals.
• Independent opinion polls show, after months of aggression, how our people are rallying behind their resistance.
• Our fighters are fighting the enemy with a great fighting spirit, as if they were in the time of the Companions [reference to The Prophet (pbuh)]
• Throughout the war, all of our 24 battalions fought from the farthest part of Beit Hanoun to Rafah, and the performance of our resistance fighters improved every time.
• The world saw through the enemy’s crimes in Gaza the lies of international organizations and the alleged impotence of human rights laws.
• There is no place in Gaza for forces holed up in homes like thieves, nor for officers hiding behind armored vehicles.
• We presented righteous martyrs, soldiers and leaders at all levels, but the flag will not fall and will not fall.
• The battle of Rafah, which has been ongoing for about 2 months, and what is happening in Shuja’iya and the northern and central Gaza Strip is the greatest evidence of the strength of our resistance and the failure of the enemy.
• The Netzarim axis will be the axis of terror, God willing.
• We confirm that the Al-Qassam’s capabilities are very well in tact, with God’s help, and that we were able to recruit thousands of new fighters during the war.
• The ability of our fighters to fight and withstand has become greater and greater, and the fire of revenge that the enemy has ignited is enough to burn him and destroy all his plans.
• (‼️) What happened on October 7 will be insignificant compared to what we will reveal in due time.
• All Netanyahu is doing is trying to escape the failure that will haunt him throughout his life.
• A due tribute to Hezbollah, the Palestinian Resistance factions in Lebanon, AnsarAllah in Yemen, and the Iraqi resistance.
• The response of our people in the lands of 1948 to what they are exposed to is coming inevitably and at the hands of our heroic people.
• We are still keen to stop the aggression, and we are with you and for you.
• We have documents that we will reveal at the appropriate time and will show how we carried out a complex strategic deception of the Shin Bet and the enemy’s security system.
• Expelling an ambassador or severing ties with an enemy that is exterminating Arab Muslim people has become a dream for a great nation that has dominated the nations of the earth for centuries.
think there might have been some translation issues with the last bullet point, I can’t quite parse it.
the (‼️) one has me poggers… make October 7th look insignificant? YES PLEASE
This one looks like a bad (AI?) summary. The section of the speech it likely came from is below. Full text here.
🟢 Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman, Abu Obeida, in his speech today, July 7th, 2024 (3/4):
The intelligence documents recently revealed among the enemy about the resounding failure on October 7 are trivial compared to what we will reveal at the appropriate time, Allah willing, with documents that will be harsher and more difficult, showing how we managed to execute a complex strategic deception against the Shin Bet and the enemy’s security system for years.
It really feels like the media is circling in on Biden to do the kill shot any moment now. I’ve never seen this before, the media just flip on a president they were once so fiercely loyal to.
I’m surprised they’re turning on him and raising the issue at all. He didn’t seem substantially worse than his 2020 campaign run and Axios (I think) had already floated the “staffers privately tell us he’s senile” piece earlier in his term but it didn’t seem to stick. His current state can’t be a surprise to power brokers so why hang him out to dry now?
I suspect they’re trying to avoid a primary. The 2020 election showed the average democrat voter is too dumb to pick up on media hints to the insiders’ favorite candidate and the average well-established democrat is too greedy and delusional of their own personal brand recognition to step aside. The pipeline of “chosen ones” that can be legitimized without much pushback at the convention seems empty.
