4th of July Meme Thread: the Resistance Edition

#nokings

I've shared this meme a lot over time and one thing that people need to understand about right now is that the "usual people" who stand up in opposition is *not sufficient* β€” you don't get to panel 4 until EVERYONE stands (at least 80%). That means people who've been silent need to fucking step up.

"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.

Remember this, Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this: Try."

I respectfully disagree. Hitler and Stalin were allies during a crucial period. And during the buildup to fascism, the communists (at least, the ones the soviets controlled) were the enemies of true social democrats, esp. in Spain and Germany, which is why the Iron Front symbol is three downward-angled arrows (down with fascism, monarchy, and communism). share.google/QYYRserzHHdA9A0cv

Honestly, I am not convinced that cocaine, ingested in small quantities verses inhaled in large, is all that harmful unless you've got a heart that is on the verge of failing. Addition has been demonstrated to be highly related to how fast a substance is absorbed which is why crack is more addictive than powder and powder snorted more addictive than ingested.

Memorial graffiti in Sydney for Dan Shersty and Spit Newborn, young anti-fascist skinheads, punk musicians, and founding members of the Las Vegas chapter of Anti-Racist Action.

On the 4th of July 1998 they were lured into the desert on the outskirts of Vegas and gunned down by a gang of 6 white supremacists, only three of whom ever served time for the murders.

Their memory is kept alive in the daily struggle against racism and fascist terror.

#VivaldiBrowser team has just released a new desktop update, Vivaldi 7.5

I personally love the new smooth way of interacting with Speed Dials and Dashboard elements (Widgets), the new Mail and Calendar look, as well as the new Ad Blocker supported rules (badfilter, strict3p, and strict1p).

P.S. Related to the **real bugs** hotel: vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-de…. Does anyone know where I can find the #drill in the photo? I like it. It must be as powerful as #VivaldiBrowser. Maybe it even has a button to change its colour πŸ˜€
Please, do you know where to get it from? Possibly on the Vivaldi Store? TY!πŸ™

BRICS has expanded to 20 countries – 10 members and 10 partners – after adding Vietnam. BRICS+ now makes up 44% of world GDP (PPP) and 56% of the global population. The US failed to divide China and Vietnam in its Second Cold War.

I never said it wasn't political, every trade agreement is political. What I said is #BRICS is not a military or political alliance it is an alternative system of multi polar trading free of interference from the current US hegemony system where international trade requires trading in US dollars.

For example, New Zealand, which is not even a #BRICS member country, has a FTA with its biggest trading partner China that means NZ and China can freely trade with each other in their own currencies.

@freeagent

I have no idea what argument David is trying to make. His initial comment was that BRICS doesn’t appear to be a unified bloc pointing to the relationship between India and China. Which is why I pointed out the fact BRICS is not a political or military alliance but a cooperative economic system of trade.

USA’s 3 largest trading partners are Mexico, Canada, and China. It would be ridiculous to assume this makes these countries a unified political bloc.

Ironically, since Trump introduced his tariffs India, Japan, South Korea and the ASEAN member nations have all agreed to increase their economic and political cooperation with China.

This is the heartwarming moment we need right now:

11-year-old Danish kid Jens Fogh made Easter decorations and sold them, thereby raising USD 5300 which he used to buy 270 school backpacks for Ukrainian children. So while in Denmark, Zelenskyy presented him with a medal for his friendship.
