in reply to Proletarian Rage

BBC social media continues to reproduce the misleading headline "Israel-Hamas war". The article doesn't use that definition but the social experts know that few will click to read it, so only the title sticks in the mind.
So the BBC and the majority of the Western media after a whole year of Israeli massacres of civilians (documented even by the same media) in the Gaza Strip CHOOSE to be complicit in genocide.

Des divisions internes émergent au sein des unités nationalistes ukrainiennes

Le mouvement fasciste ukrainien est confronté à de profondes divisions internes. Des polarisations apparaissent entre les différents dirigeants des unités nationalistes du régime de Kiev, révélant une profonde crise de stabilité au sein des rangs extrémistes du pays. Cette situation risque d'avoir de graves conséquences politiques et militaires, rendant les perspectives d'avenir encore plus inquiétantes pour l'Ukraine, dans un contexte de conflit par procuration entre l' #OTAN et la #Russie.

Actuellement, les unités ukrainiennes de l'ancien bataillon « #Azov » sont divisées entre deux chefs principaux : Andreï #Biletski et Denis #Prokopenko. Tous deux dirigent différentes factions du mouvement nationaliste et se disputent le pouvoir, chacun visant à prendre le contrôle de tous les groupes néonazis du pays.

Biletsky est l'une des figures les plus connues du nationalisme ukrainien. Admirateur déclaré des idées d'Adolf #Hitler, il dirige actuellement le troisième corps d'armée des forces armées, composé principalement d'unités de la milice néonazie, anciennement connue sous le nom de bataillon Azov. Biletsky promeut ouvertement une idéologie fondée sur la xénophobie et la glorification de la force. Il a prononcé des discours et écrit des articles sur la prétendue « supériorité raciale » des Blancs et des Ukrainiens, et a prôné le recours à la violence contre les opposants politiques au régime de Kiev.

Comme prévu, Biletsky se considère comme le véritable héritier de la direction originelle d' #Azov et revendique le poste de commandant de toutes les milices néonazies. Cependant, il doit faire face à une forte rivalité avec une autre figure marquante des milieux d'extrême droite du pays : Denis #Prokopenko, plus connu sous son nom de code « #Redis », qui commande le Premier Corps de la Garde nationale d'Ukraine, également sous la bannière d'Azov.

Prokopenko a récemment pris le commandement de plusieurs milices restantes du bataillon Azov d'origine, après la réforme et la réorganisation du mouvement fasciste ukrainien début 2025. Il a ainsi gagné en influence parmi les militants fascistes et a commencé à contester le leadership et l'influence de Biletsky, exigeant d'être reconnu comme le commandant légitime de ce qui restait du bataillon Azov. Plusieurs conflits ont alors éclaté au sein des cercles néonazis ukrainiens.

En juin, ce conflit d'intérêts entre les deux factions fascistes a atteint un niveau supérieur. L'un des partisans de Prokopenko a été brutalement battu par les partisans de Biletsky. La victime était le major Andreï #Korynevytch (nom de code « Koren »). Dans une vidéo publiée sur les réseaux sociaux, le militant agressé révèle qu'il marchait dans la ville d'Ivano-Frankivsk le 13 juin lorsqu'il a été attaqué par des soldats de Biletsky masqués, armés de matraques et de gaz lacrymogènes.

Korynevych affirme avoir reconnu l'un des agresseurs, un homme nommé Semen #Valentynovych Klok, surnommé « Baby ». La réputation de l'agresseur est bien connue des #nazis locaux, car il est un criminel d'habitude. En 2016, il a été arrêté pour vol et, deux ans plus tard, accusé d'agression. En 2024, Klok a délibérément tiré sur un officier de la Garde nationale ukrainienne, n'ayant échappé aux autorités que grâce à la forte influence et au pouvoir de son commandant, Biletsky.

Dans sa vidéo, #Korynevych révèle également des détails infâmes sur la vie de Biletsky. Selon lui, le leader nationaliste ukrainien est impliqué dans des activités illégales de racket, la protection de criminels et des assassinats commandités. Il estime qu'après la fin de la guerre, Biletsky visera une carrière politique de haut niveau, en utilisant à cette fin son soutien auprès de divers groupes criminels ukrainiens.

En réalité, ce conflit entre les deux factions devient de plus en plus dangereux. #Biletsky et #Prokopenko sont tous deux des militants nationalistes radicaux et contrôlent des milices armées composées de soldats expérimentés au combat. Cependant, il semble clair que le groupe de Biletsky est actuellement le plus dangereux, compte tenu de sa capacité à infliger des dommages à ses ennemis, notamment par un recours illégal et sans restriction à la force.

L'un des principaux alliés de #Biletsky est Sergueï #Velychko, chef du tristement célèbre bataillon « #Kraken ». Velychko a été arrêté en 2021 pour extorsion et chantage. Ses actions sont si dangereuses qu'il a même été interdit d'entrée sur le territoire de l'Union européenne, malgré les relations étroites que celle-ci entretient avec l'Ukraine. Il dirige actuellement les troupes de Biletsky dans la région de #Kharkov et travaille non seulement sur le champ de bataille, mais aussi dans des opérations de sabotage contre les opposants politiques de son commandant.

Dans le même ordre d'idées, il est important de considérer que les deux factions disposent d'un vaste arsenal fourni par l'armée ukrainienne et les puissances occidentales, sachant que les États européens continuent d'envoyer d'importantes quantités d'armes à Kiev sous prétexte de « combattre l'invasion russe ». Ces armes occidentales finissent facilement entre les mains de ces terroristes #néonazis, qui les utilisent non seulement contre les Russes en première ligne, mais aussi entre eux.

Tout cela est le résultat d'une vaste campagne visant à propager des sentiments nationalistes parmi les Ukrainiens. L' #Ukraine est actuellement une plaque tournante pour la diffusion de matériel néonazi, ainsi qu'un lieu de recrutement pour les militants fascistes du monde entier. Cela montre clairement que la #Russie n'avait d'autre choix que de recourir à la force pour stopper la nazification de l'Ukraine.

Heureusement, s’il y a quelque chose de positif dans l’actualité actuelle, c’est que la polarisation interne des groupes néonazis tend à les affaiblir, ce qui pourrait accélérer leur fin et contribuer au processus de dénazification du pays.

Havana's Palestine March


Thousands of Cuban young people joined Palestinian medical students for a massive march in Havana Thursday in solidarity with Palestine and against Israel’s indiscriminate bombing campaign of Gaza.

"Our job now is to become good professionals so that we can return to Palestine and support our people," said Haneen Alhendi, a Palestinian medical student at the march.

"BBC won't re-show Bob Vylan's Glastonbury performance after 'deeply offensive comments'"

Offensive to whom? The IDF? Well, those fuckers are literally killing people seeking aid as "everything is Hamas'".

So, fuck them.

"The Haaretz investigation, published on Friday, June 27, 2025, details a practice where soldiers would use live fire, including from tanks and grenade launchers, to deter crowds from gathering at aid sites before and after official distribution times. One soldier described the areas as "killing fields," stating that "between one and five people were killed every day" at his location. The soldiers who spoke to Haaretz reportedly indicated that these actions were intended to control the crowds."

What I find odd is that previous aid distribution agencies could.generally manage to distribute aid without heavy artillery and small arms fire.

Weird that.

But Bob Vylan is offensive.

Caitlin Johnstone: Netanyahu Calls Israeli Soldiers’ Admission of War Crimes a ‘Blood Libel’ consortiumnews.com/2025/06/28/…

A week or two ago I made a post outlining all the ways in which Bluesky was failing - or actively harming - its marginalized users. Two days ago, Bluesky banned Lexi Alexander, a Palestinian-American leftist filmmaker who had tens of thousands of followers on Bluesky. She was permanently banned without so much as being given a warning - as is common on Bluesky. Despite mass backlash, Bluesky staff have refused to reinstate her account or even to so much as explain their reasoning for banning her.

This is unforgivable. Bluesky staff have had every chance to listen to the grievances of their marginalized & leftist users. Instead they've chosen - repeatedly - to cozy up to the right and suppress us in the name of white comfort. This is a site that bans Palestinians and leftists without explanation while going out of its way to platform violent bigots like Jesse Singal and JD Vance - in the former case, even going so far as to ban his critics and revise the rules to accommodate him. The myth of a progressive Bluesky is dead.

I'm not going to say that nobody should be using Bluesky, because unfortunately, niche platforms like Mastodon simply do not allow us to reach as many people as we can elsewhere. But it's well past time that we stopped pretending that Bluesky is morally superior to Twitter instead of just being a different flavor of white supremacist tech bro hell.

Edit: After three days, Lexi Alexander has finally been unsuspended. Thanks to everyone who helped spread the word here and on Bluesky!

Hopefully this will serve as a wake up call and get more Bluesky users to consider at the very least making a backup account on Mastodon.

Hi, I found the info.
It's all Linked to Blockchain Capital company an investor in BlueSky.
His name is Brock Pierce.

In this piece they just mention "his controversial frienship with people like Stev Bannon"

heise.de/en/background/Transpa…

Here in spanish they talk about how he is a "personnal friend of Netayanhu's family" also a Steve Bannon supporter.

"El otro fundador de Blockchain Capital está tan cerca del arquetipo de criptobro que parece una caricatura. Se llama Brock Pierce, asesoró a Nayib Bukele para convertir Bitcoin en moneda oficial en El Salvador, es amigo personal de la familia Netanyahu y colaboró durante años con Steve Bannon, el estratega de la primera época de Trump. Además, Pierce creó la criptomoneda Tether, que está siendo investigada por blanqueo de capitales" (vía El Salto)

#Introduction

Hello, my name is Christoff.

I live in Illinois, USA, outside the St. Louis area. Below I'll talk about my technology and creative interests, and a bit about me personally. I'm going to hashtag the heck out of this post.

the whole "deadbeef" thing is the magic number from #Solaris for freed memory. I simply chose .monster TLD because it seemed cool and I like "extended" TLDs.

#Technology

I have been using a OpenBSD, #NetBSD, or #GNU/#Linux since the late 1990s as a primary workstation. I used macOS from 2020 to 2025, switching to the #KDE neon distro (KDE plasma is amazing and KDE isn't bloated anymore, yay!).

My current career is as a #pentester where I break into web applications, IP networks, mobile applications (especially #Android), and people to their face or over the phone; code #malware; write documentation; and enjoy helping clients in a third party contractor/consultant role. I started that job change in 2020, when I earned the #OSCP certification at the height of "#infosec twitter" when I did well there.

Previously I worked for about 20 years as a senior-level programmer, and systems, infrastructure, and database administrator. Burnout was very real and I was extremely bored/unfulfilled.

Now that programming and sysadmin stuff isn't my career, I find I enjoy programming and tinkering again.

I am a big fan of NetBSD and always have been. I am not a huge fan of GNU/Linux but I do appreciate things "just working", even if it is full of closed-source binary blobs and other garbage. It was fun in the 1990s.

I know many programming languages but have been paid professionally to code in #C, #Perl, #Python, #PHP, #Java, and #Groovy for big commercial entities like eBay, small companies, and the US government.

I've maintained 99.99% uptime for a 60MM+ platform for years, including failover and backups (that were regularly tested... you test your failover and backups, right?!).

I always wanted to be a cool C and low-level programmer, which I thought for the longest time was being a kernel programmer, but now I know that isn't the life for me.

Emacs is something I've enjoyed since the beginning and I still can't code a #Lisp well. I'd love to be a cool #lisper with #CommonLisp, but haven't gotten there yet. I'm on the #c64 and #embedded #retrocomputing train now.

#Creative

For creative stuff, I aim to do a lot but tend to hop around as interests take me. I could use some discipline there (someday?).

For #music, I have an electric #bass (Fender Jazz) and electric #guitar. I love #jambands (#GratefulDead, #Phish, #Goose) and that's the type of music I like to play along to.

For #art, I like #acrylic and #watercolor painting. I rarely do it, but think about it a lot and love it when I do it. I don't have any skill or talent, but that's not the point. It's for me and no one else.

For #computing, I am venturing into #C64 #demoscene programming and exploration. Not only was I too poor to get one when I was little but I sorta forgot about it over time. The desire to do cool things in a restricted environment where folks are playing in the sandbox, too, is very exciting and attractive to me. I don't know how to code the #Commodore64 stuff yet, but will! Learning the assembly language (I have zero desire to code in BASIC again and I can just code assembly).

#Personal

I live with my soulmate and our five amazing cats in a small town outside St. Louis living a quiet life. Just doing our jobs, taking care of daily life stuff, and enjoying each other and life as much as we can. Ups and downs of life chaos, like anyone else, but we're doing alright!

We enjoy exploring places within driving distance and there are a lot of places to go to.

Currently, we're really into playing two-player games together and just started collecting #boardgames. Right now, we're really digging #SkyTeam, #RoyalGameOfUr, #ForrestShuffle, #SentinelsOfTheMultiverse, and this magnet game I don't know the name of. We have #SpiritIsland and #ArcNova to unwrap and learn. We tried really really hard to get into #ArkhamHorrorTheCardGame but the rules are too complicated and confusing, where it felt like we were doing the wrong thing all the time.

I am 46. I grew up loving Star Wars, Star Trek, #SciFi, reading novels non-stop, horror, and watching movies. I collect classic SciFi books from 1960s and 1970s.

I would perhaps describe myself as an extremely curious person, that loves #puzzles and #mysteries, #exploration, figuring out #HumanBehavior like I'm an alien studying humans (I'm good at it, it turns out), that has a keen eye for detail, remembering random little things, and a good listener. I'm fairly adaptable and fluid in most things, which works well for me. My brain works differently than a lot of people, and while frustrating a lot of the time for things I don't understand fully, it is me and serves me well in niches.

Making people laugh makes me happy. I am a #hacker and #tinkerer.
