unless Israel lifts the blockade.

Or Egypt. Israel is not able to control what gets in and out of Gaza if Egypt opens its border. Which would make lifting the blockade more likely.

@CARCOSA@hexbear.net could you pin this or a similar thread for the next couple of days please?

Mohammed Deif, a senior Hamas military commander, said earlier that the rocket fire marked the start of “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood”, and he called on Palestinians everywhere to fight the Israeli occupation.

“We’ve decided to say enough is enough,” Deif said as he urged all Palestinians to confront Israel. “This is the day of the greatest battle to end the last occupation on Earth,” he said in an audio message.

Which if we link to it will get us 100% targeted by fedposting who do that anyhow already.

Plenty of decisions of the central committee and the politburo during that time were aimed at securing the Soviet Union, which includes actions against reactionaries and white army terrorist leftovers especially in border regions and those in which power couldn't be projected well into. However the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, while having a slapping flag that would make our 2SLGBTQ* comrades proud, never was home to more than 20 000 people labeling as Jews, who remained a minority and who were also not as much in political control as the name implies.

More Jews fought in the Red army than lived in the JAO.

At a festival where there is also political input the Content is a tent in which political content is brought to the masses by the masses. I liked that pun. However at a less vanilla festival the content was the place where you could have nice cuddles and just chill out with good vibes.

Only if you wear colonial british western garb and ties are you respactable.

Wearing stuff that aligns to the working class or with anti colonial movement from states that are oppressed it is bad optics.

Is shit I did hear too often.

IN my city there was a case in which cops did watch a joint for a couple of days multiple days per week. They noticed that the amount of real customers was much much lower than the earnings reported. So they took quite a bit of money and had that money laundering charge.

I remember that getting high paying short term jobs was kinda easy. If you luckily got in touch with someone the likelihood that they would contract stuff out to you was there, especially in terms of electronics, IT, or event organization.

I did fly around a bit and that was quite relaxed back then. The security was virtually non existence, the food was somehow nicer (except if you were vegan, vegetarian or had trouble with lactose or didn't eat pork for religious reasons). There was little on board entertainment though that would fit your interests, so talking with your random neighbours was more common (this was true for any location really).

When I was a kid we would re-purpose wire from construction sites to dig our own land lines between friends and used self constructed radios to stay in touch. Weekends at the scrap yard were quite common. During summer you would have some locations in parks, at the river or alike you would meet up and those were social meeting places, where you could expand your social circle or make out with persons during holidays you often wouldn't see again. A similar attitude I only found later on in live at cruising places (and some festivals with swinger/hippy vibes or left flat shares).

Which is a good point since the hostile part of the lemmyverse tries to tell us, who have quite a bit of diversity and lived experience that we are all 14 year olds. Some of us witnessed the births of countries which freed themselves from colonialism and USA's influences life!

It is a try to reduce us to a caricature that can be easily dismissed.

the time tax to get basic life done was pretty absurd—and typically fell on women

The "time tax" in the FRG on women was higher with the demands for sole child care with relatively little external child caring services from the ages of 0-18 (and schools which weren't open long).

because they’re “spiritual gulags”.

Yes I’ve actually heard that in real life.
