rare 4chan w
Wow! This is so based! Honestly, it is surprising that you found this in the hellhole of 4chan.
That photo of Maduro reminds me of when I was a kid and held marbles in my cheeks
Seeing a lot of positive things about Chinese athletes this Olympics which makes me happy to see. Sad I’m surprised by the lack of racism but a nice change for sure.
The happy selfie with the two Koreas and the PRC is one of the best moments
True, but there’s also a lot of racism. An Italian fencer said he lost the gold medal match against a Hong Konger because the judges were favouring the Hong Konger because they were Asian.
And two Tennis players threw a hissy fit over losing against a Chinese player, Zheng Qinwen, who later won gold
One of the sore losers being a US nepo baby lol
That’s interesting as I’m getting the complete opposite. I’m not following the Olympics directly because fuck the IOC, but any time the Olympics snakes its way into my news feed, it’s articles about Australian swim coaches saying there’s no way the Chinese won without doping vs rebuttals about how the Chinese team are tested 8 times more than Western teams, and quotes from Western athletes being butthurt about losing. The only Olympics news for me that hasn’t been about Sinophobia was a couple of articles about swimming athletes getting hospitalized after drinking some Seine, and the IOC appropriating revolutionary aesthetics in their opening ceremony.

Enjoy this little tifo from Standard Liège fans yesterday
just saw an article about the brugge nazis, nice to see there were some antifascists representing against those clowns
they lost 1-0 apparently too heh
Holiday is over, back to work. I have a job in which I face a lot of people face to face. Day 1 and already had to deal with aggression again. Sadly I get used to it but I do sometimes wonder why I keep doing this job.
Anyway, I will participate in my city’s Pride Parade this weekend and I’m looking forward to it. Last year I had a great time and this year will be no different for sure.
I hope Pride Parade would be decent.
Ah too bad I can’t come this year

don’t get distracted by olympics. the most fked up shit happening in palestine.
My e-visa to visit Russia later this month got approved! I’m so excited!! (as of yet, I have never left Europe in my life, and the easternmost place I’ve ever been to is Albania
)Back from a break, missed y’all
have a great week :))
Participating in the Pride Parade today. Vibes are great. Currently standing next to a group of trans activists plastered with NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE flags. Respect ✊🏼
So Pride was great. There are a lot of political messages in this specific Pride which is good I think. There is still work to be done and we need to keep sending said messages.
I walked along with my job and through some fuck up in the schedule my party was behind me in the parade so I got to enjoy their energy as well. They had so many flags and were constantly chanting, singing leftist songs and playing party music. They really got the attention and managed to have the people on the sidelines sing stuff like Bella Ciao etc.
All in all great event. It got a record attendance this year as well.
Probably shouting into the void/choir here, but I’ve been feeling pretty suicidal the past few days.
I’m not going to hurt or off myself whatsoever, and I’ll eventually “get over it”, but it still sucks to feel this way.
I truly feel like I don’t belong anywhere, and that I’m simultaneously a toxic POS and the smartest and greatest person on Earth.
Being on the autistic spectrum and also suffering from OCD, borderline personality disorder, impulse control disorder, and an extremely high sexual drive with a lot of guilt for having some traits of narcissistic personality disorder, is living Hell, and every single day is a goddamn marathon. I’ve had a former therapist tell me that I have more goddamn trauma than even fucking SOLDIERS. Me just being alive is something more difficult than anything 99 percent of the global population will ever experience.
I take it as a blessing and a curse.
Sometimes I can’t wait until humanity achieves the end of aging and death itself, and extends human lifespan to practically indefinitely, where one day I can explore space and view black holes and nebulas with my own eyes in a glorious socialist future.
And other times, I wish I was dead by now, because I’m scum and don’t deserve anything.
I classify myself as a heroic narcissist with a heart of silver, or something along those lines.
Edit: Wow, I guess someone really doesn’t like me.
If I may share a personal, weird story: I used to be suicidal for years until I somehow managed to flip that mentality around. Now I see death as somewhat of a cheat. Like, I can always die. Why not hang on and see what will happen in the future? Maybe it gets better, maybe not and maybe it will get worse.
I also studied psychology so I know that the above is not the best advice I can give, but that perspective change was somewhat useful for understanding my own struggle.
I think that way sometimes, but to me it seems more of a rationalization than something that I inherently view, if that makes sense
Me just being alive is something more difficult than anything 99 percent of the global population will ever experience.
Everyone feels like their burden is the heaviest. You have to realise that everyone is suffering and use your own pain to understand the pain of others.
China really needs to invest more in athletics if they want to beat the US in the Olympic medal tally. (Or maybe they do but it needs time to pay off)
That and swimming is a bit over-represented too
Yup, but don’t really see a lot of events there that can be scrapped, except for race walking. Think other sports just need to add more events, like mixed gender individual events in archery and shooting
We’re literally Canadian and yet my brother was just in here trying to sing the praises of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to me, I was trying really hard to not tell him to fuck right off
The fact that he’s expecting me to be happy about people who are pro-genocide because of some token “progressive” promises (that probably won’t even mean anything once elected) is infuriating, especially when those promises don’t even affect us in particular
