My half-estranged mother-in-law came to visit us and saw my little Lenin shrine that I made for May 1st (and never took down because why would I). It was sick. The most predictable finnish boomer reaction one could imagine. That tyrant! That murderer! Oh, the shock! It was pretty great. Thanks, Lenin. I should make a notch somewhere on the shrine for every time he does this.
Djungelvrål is the GOAT
Few things are as uninteresting as listening to someone else’s dream, but this one felt different. I had a scary realistic dream last night that the skyscrapers in Helsinki were destroyed by some kind of fucked up artillery shells that burned them to a husk in an instant, and only left the burned out skeleton of the buildings standing. It was during a fireworks display, and three of the boomy sounds were a lot more ominous and deep, and then a few moments later the shells came and hit the buildings at the same time.
That was scary enough, but I remember being more scared about what the potential reaction will be. Everyone will blame the russians, of course. People were already frothing with bloodlust in the direct aftermath, including the friends I was with. That felt fucked up. But wait a minute, the shells clearly came from the northwest? And why did I hear the artillery firing? Must have been fairly close, how would the russians have gotten there? This was obviously planned to coincide with the fireworks to, idk, mask the sounds? Then I woke up relieved as heck that it was only a dream. Not looking particularly much forward to when this kind of scenario inevitably plays out in the not-too-distant future.
:yea:
Well put. I knew the time would come eventually, but I naively and selfishly kind of hoped The Big One would happen behind the scenes or that “someone else” would deal with it, but alas. It seems it’s going to have to be me, after all. Reminds me of that saying “If not you, then who? If not now, then when?”
Funnily enough I’m much more worried about my cats than myself. little babies need their treatos more than I do
Woah! How does “follow fruit / need be” imply “if”?
Love these posts btw, keep it up
FUCK this is so good, god DAMN dude
Alacritty because I like how it handles bitmap fonts and I need bitmap fonts in my life.
Joke’s on him, I was never in the reserve to begin with 
Maybe I could join it and then quit six hundred thousand times to inflate the numbers
Oh my god. This post is too much. It’s great, I love it. “I want evidence but only the kind that proves me right, thanks”. Yanks are something else
At home I always sit down to piss. My toilet has a kind of fucky shape seemingly design to maximise splashback, and I don’t wanna deal with that. Another plus with sitting down is that some times you can sneak in a little dookie as well. very nice.
Comrades, I sincerely apologize for any psychic damage taken from being exposed to my fellow countryman’s takes
imagine not knowing that the wrong side won the civil war 
I watched it kind of seems like Tucker doesn’t really understand wtf Putin is talking about most of the time. Wasted potential. It’s really fascinating to see how Putin speaks though. He’s certain a bougie, but he is much more aware of geopolitics and historical context than any contemporary western head of state I’m familiar with. I don’t know for a fact that what he says is necessarily true, but I’m much more inclined to believe what he says because he can at least back it up with some kind of analysis based in, you know, reality. Stark god damn contrast to all the rabid baby brained natoid rules based order absolutist Finnish leaders I have had the misfortune of listening to.
Alright, I’m gonna watch the Oliver Stone interview next.
They would be funny as fuck if they weren’t real and doing harm to people. I understand where you’re coming from though.
The new government is universally reviled by most people under 30, low-income workers, and the “blue-collar” unions (especially health care). Among boomers, chuds, the self-proclaimed middle-class, and the Economists Union (certified cringe union that are explicitly not partaking in any strike action, lmao) opinions range from lukewarm to supportive.They see the incoming austerity measures as “necessary” to counteract the previous governments “excessive spending” and something something national debt. The Confederation of Finnish Industries, EK, are ecstatic at the prospect of relaxed worker’s rights and lower wages, of course. They are kind of like a nega-union but for bigass companies and shareholders and 
and can always be counted on to have the worst most ghoulish ambitions. Unfortunately they also have a lot of influence in economical policy. All of their boogiemen (national debt, excessive spending, etc) are complete imaginary garbage made up by the IMF or what the fuck ever, of course, but such is the state of most of Europe I suppose 
The previous government was generally less ghoulish with regards to labour politics and such, and generally had the opposite support (liked by under 30’s, low-income workers, and blue-collar unions; hated by chuds, boomers, middle class etc). They weren’t good by any of our definitions, but for what it’s worth they managed to begin undoing some of the damage the Sipilä cabinet had inflicted during their term before (getting rid of the “Aktiivimalli” for instance, a similar proposition to what the yellow vests protested against in France). Buuut then their reputation got absolutely fucked because of how they handled the pandemic, and then again by all the ukraine shit and then again with the following cost of living + energy crises. Not all of that was even their fault, but the damage was already done and the shit ass tabloids weren’t gonna miss out on starting a ruckus. Add to that the fact that they were mostly women, combined with how unbelievably fucking racist/sexist/everythingphobic the finnish people tend to be, and here we are now. The pendulum will keep swinging back and forth until either the proletariat takes up arms or the natoid warhawks finally get their wishes fulfilled and we all burn in nuclear hellfire.
A large Finnish union, Akava, has organised a walkout today between 14:00 and 16:00 (i.e. starting now). So me, ya boy, super_mario_69, is currently on strike (ama). It is a political strike action taken to protest the current right-wing government’s bullshit. There were pretty wide-spread strikes last week, and the industrial union is going on strike later this month. Orpo seems rather upset about it (lmao eat shit)
idk if this walkout makes any material difference, and if all I’m doing is painting a big-ass target on my back for the inevitable next round of layoffs, but I’m not gonna miss out on an opportunity to take action for once
So there is a small part of him that’s good after all.
