They've already got friends in all the far-right militant groups of western Europe, no one will be safe in the streets. The antifa are far from ready, they're gonna derealize when they get beaten up by 10 Ukrainians after spending all their time calling everyone a Putin propagandist on Twitter

That's a shocking thing to write, do they even care what the implications are?? They're saying the nazis were "resisting Russian imperialism" this is beyond fucked up

Had a drug overdose in August and spent the last two months working through that

Wow that's harsh wish you the best so you can stay clean, or at least not in danger!

There's an angle that is rarely mentionned is how popular death penalty can genuinely be in a lot of societies. In my experience, I heard a lot of euro liberals saying "democracy is fine but too much democracy and we're back to having death penalty" the irony being that it's actually the case for China, it's only because people want it that it hasn't been fully abolished.

I have a strong conviction that death penalty abolition is the way forward in human History, just like prison and police abolition and even schools as we know them (being replaced by better communal education of course). But it's gonna take time, a lot of, so we definitely shouldn't demonize countries that still have it just because they have it, it's more compelling to analyse how it is used (for example, punishing extremely harmful crimes of people who have public responsibility and power VS using it as an ultimate threat to keep black people working in the prison Industrial complex)

Yeah in my second hand experience Unions in France are comprised of a small amount of registered members but since everyone gets the benefits in the company then they don't bother doing the work. It's a trap because that makes workers democracy a niche in which only the terminally leftists participate, alienating them from the masses, and also making lib unions super popular (when I say lib I mean literally just aiming to convince the workers that what the boss does isn't that bad)
