They didn't even manage to make it sound negative.

Foreign man in foreign land and Andrewism comes to mind

I just remembered my time walking to work in a snow storm. Hating my life and feeling like a drone with no purpose other than to work. It was at a hard time of my life, so the monotony of my life was extra hard to deal with at that time. Anyways, some time later I started crossing paths with this man. He was always smiling at me, saying "good morning" and moving out of the path for me to walk past him (there was a thin path of downtrodden snow). I don't know why, but this moved me to tears everyday I meat him. So yeah, happines or compassion or something. Good feelings

If you're gonna convince a car user of our views on urban development, you've gotta be in it for the long run. I find it extremely tedious and time-consuming to gradually nudge their perspective from unsustainable car centric planning to sustainable urban planning

China had/has sanctions on import/export of coal, some petroleum products as well as some textiles. I haven't read any statements about the their sanctions from China, so I don't know why.

It seems to come from a UN resolution, but I'm not sure

If Hollywood wants to produce a movie about war/ show military operations etc. they can let the D.O.D in on the production/writing. If the D.O.D is allowed to co-write the script, the production team basically get to use equipment and military locations for free.

This is the part of the deal that's out in the open. I'm certain of that there's a lot more going on behind closed curtains.

Thanks! Great thread about the topic

Is there an actual support for the Russian state, or is it propaganda to counter the pro-western propaganda?

I'm not very educated on this topic, so I come from a place of genuine curiosity. It just seems to me that many people here are pro Russia and anti Ukraine, and if that's the case, I would like to understand why.

In my eyes, the conflict in Ukraine bears no resemblance of class war. Of course I know of the nazi infested military groups sponsored by the Ukrainian government stationed in eastern Ukraine to kill the separatist movement. But I'm hesitant to trust any capitalist government to fight for actual people and their rights. This scepticism of course include the Russian state.

Please understand that this is my current understanding of the situation, and I struggle to get a better understanding of it. Mainstream media isn't doing me any favors in that regard, so I hope some of you guys are more educated in this topic than I am, and can point me to articles and news that depict this through a marxist lens.

Love and solidarity

I sincerely hope that you guys are organizing a union as well. Although your strategy of pranking/scaring the managers and bosses probably work and are funny too, forming a union can do so much more in terms of salary, working conditions and worker participation in workplace policy making.

Anyways, thumbs up for keeping the bosses on their toes!

My comments on reddit often got downvoted. Probably from me being uninformed or ignorant while commenting. This stripped me of motivation to be active in those communities. I will try to be more active in the communities on lemmygrad, commenting and posting in good faith, but not always being right.

Looking forward to be a part of an active leftist community, sharing articles, information, memes and much more!
