It's Pravda, literally the propaganda arm of the Ukrainian Government.

Yesterday, I spent the day with my girlfriend and my roommate, we went to a local Filipino festival (both of them are Filipino), kinda boring, mostly just groups recruiting and realtors peddling their services. Otherwise a good day.

Today, I went for a 25km bike ride around the city, along the beach to the main university for the region for lunch. Total 140m elevation gain. Feeling proud of myself, not the longest ride, but one of the toughest hills I've done so far. (NW Marine Drive towards UBC for any locals, feel free to send a message if you are!)

I'm very proud of you all!

I know that this isn't the revolutionary vanguard party moment that upheaves the foundation of Antwerp, but it is proof enough that collective action can provide material improvements to the lives of regular people.

I commend you for the progress that you've made thus far and hope you can work even further to achieve your goals.

Places like India and Korea have quite a bit of dairy and cheese for sure. This map seems too broad to be accurate.

Absolutely! I'm open to any and all questions, I don't have much of an outlet for this sort of stuff these days, so I'm happy to contribute.

If you have any concerns about the design/UX, send those over as well, I can pass them along to my partner who works in that field.

This is the /pol/ version of the /v/ post saying that games being fun is just a meme

I've been in the leftist camp for the last few years now, but just recently self identifying as an ML, but probably agreeing with the general idea without realising it.

My mother who grew up in Soviet Crimea just recently gifted me a copy of the Manifesto, so I'll be reading that soon. I'd really appreciate a list of some recommended works. Also if you have any suggestions for some books in the perspective of a historical account like The Jakarta Method, that really resonated with me.

Thank you!

I've started reading Subversive Lives: A Family Memoir of the Marcos Years by Susan and Nathan Quimpo. I found it after reading The Jakarta Method and wanting to read more leftist history of SEA. (Also strongly recommend for anyone interested in anti-imeprialism)

I've only read about 1/6 of it so far, but I've found it very informative of the atrocities committed by the Marcos family. I'm genuinely brought to tears several times in the book reading the first hand accounts of the terrors brought upon them. What's been very interesting so far is how much infighting and splintering that occured between the several revolutionary groups of the Philippines of the era. One brother of the author was actually killed by his comrades early on in the book.

If anyone here has read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it as well.

Afterwards I'd like to read State & Revolution (yeah yeah, baby leftist, I know)

Can we please get Praximus Prime in here?

I use it all the tim, works perfectly for me. Occasionally I'll use NewPipe, but unfortunately I find the YouTube recommendation algorithm useful for finding things to watch (even leftist content) so I've been finding it difficult to switch fully.
