Today, 85 years ago Germany started its war against Poland kicking of WWII and subsequently what is still considered humanity's greatest crime.

But apparently we have learned nothing.

Today, most likely an openly fascist party in Germany will win a state election ever since those days. Today, the lesser evil is celebrated as a beacon of hope because so far her actions only have an effect on brown people far away.

Today, we let the same sort of people lead us into wars for THEIR greed. The marriage of capital and fascism will again lead to agony, devastation and despair around the globe.

But we know what needs to be done. Radical unity, radical solidarity.

Reject the status quo because you know where it leads to.

20 Books that have had an impact on who you are. One book a day for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just book covers.

This is no ranking. Just a list of twenty books that I remember fondly. I probably forgot a dozen others that deserve to be on the list too. Oh, and it is mostly fiction. I read a lot of non-fiction too, and you might argue that they Change you too. But then you'd have to include schoolbooks, right?

They made the story into a movie a while back, and I distinctly remember that it was one of the few times in the past two decades where a German movie didn't suck donkeyballs.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Well, maybe see another point of a 'friend'. (I know I am testing waters here. You are who you are, and I am not going to tell you off)

You are amazing. You are a beacon of the fact what a library card and dedication can do. You truly are. I have learned loads by just reading and thinking about your posts.

But lady, seriously,.... people fucking adore you, and they want you to stay around.

Take breaks. Take days off. Have days where you just goof. You are still a person, a human being. Someone who needs to just BE every now and then.

None of your followers who truly appreciate what you are doing is going to bail if you are off for a few days.

Pace yourself. You are human after all. Your utter humanity is why we like you, girl!

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Perfect instance for the fedi-HOA

*chuckles*

Alright, it's 5pm but it's still time to take a shower and go outside.

Seize the day regardless of how shitty it was.

@voxofgod @AnthonyJK

Y'all had hope?

@AnthonyJK These people don't understand that 'a bit left of fascism' isn't 'being on the left'.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

You are the undisputed worst account online ever.

:birmingham:

By the way, if your God forbids gay stuff....don't do gay stuff.

There! It is that easy! Now fuck off!

@AnarchoNinaWrites I don't have that many people being stupid in my replies, thankfully. I will, however, have a purge in the people I follow. Some of them write some ass-clown shit and I just cannot stand this weird mixture of bigotry, pseudo-cult and plain stupidity.

"Best" thing I saw today? The claim that Joe B. is a fantastic ally because he served under Obama and passed the torch to Kamela.

My mentioning of the KOSA bill did not go down well.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I like what you've done with the place....uhh, is that a pixie on a stick above the fire? My favourite...awww you shouldn't have...

@ayoub That fucking newspaper. I can't say I am surprised.

@GNUmatic

I can only second that. Dirk, I guess, is a few years older than me as I did not have a 'youth' under the regime. I was mainly a toddler and kindergarden child then.

What I lived through was the weird mixture of everything being renewed, allegedly made 'better' while communities were actually dying underneath. A lot of the things from back than I now understand with hindsight. And the whole thing is such a tragedy. Authoritarians ruined it for everyone to an extent that people will now cling to capitalism even though it kills us.

It's really weird living in that odd space between the two ideas, and for the longest time I was of the opinion that 'social(ist) democracy' is the sweet spot. But I am now forty-one years old and my whole millennial experience tells me that this ain't right either. It's rotten because everything is subsumed under the money people and their agenda.

And I honestly don't see too many purists. What I see is a radical simple truth.

- we need to stick together
- we need to fight those who have decided that their bank accounts justify death (fascists in a nutshell)
- we need to deeply distrust any one who seeks power (not leaders....distrust the ones that WANT to be leaders)

That's how it is actually really easy to be "leftist" but still despise 'tankies' (authoritarian left).

And sidenote: I wish I was a better writer. There is something my heart wants to tell about those years after the fall of the wall but it doesn't come out right. Ever

@AnthonyJK

So..... just a few days it was extremely bad and rude to mention age, now the newest rage is age-jokes about Trump.

I mean yeah....thank you for showcasing how arbitrary rules, laws and regulations are.
Thank you for showing that you now intend to win with the same tactic the fascists use.

You cry foul about a thing and then use it yourself.

I call that extremely spineless.

It was never about Joe's age but about his willingness to fight against actual fascism. It's also not about age with DonDon but the fact that he represents and is a fascist.

This is still a fight for your democracy. Stop making memes. Organize. Be visible in the streets. Be loud.

Bildet Banden!

@selzero I have met too many people who try and hide their shittyness behind mental issues.

Which brought me to the simplest explanation:

"Your mental troubles may very well be an explanation for your behaviour. What they are not is an excuse!"

I then draw lines, like you did, and I tell them to work on themselves. I even offer help, if I think I can manage that safely. And then they have a simple choice.

Some cross the line and are axed from my life, but some I am now really proud of because they learned and got better.

@AnarchoNinaWrites For him that is true. It'll be a shit show for you everyone else, including everyone who still defends him.

I just don't get how you can tell "Democracy is on the line" all day, and then send him.

And only him.

I don't get why there isn't a mass protest in all major US cities almost every day?

Yo! Democracy is on the line, and you have ONE plan? And it's THIS dude?

It's gonna be ugly.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I honestly think that the Bellingham/Foden conendrum will be there for years to come. They occupy the same spaces offensively and it's been a hindrance all tournament.

Like in the good ol' Lampard/Gerrard days.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Yeah. He's just not fit, it seems to me.

The literal only good take-away you could potentially draw from yesterday is that these fuckers will fight among themselves.
