Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Sit down in that chair over there. Take off your shoes. I’m not cleaning mud off the floor. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!

We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org; you can make an account with any Matrix client (e.g. Element). We also have a GenZedong Matrix room (see the sidebar for more information), and there’s a general Lemmygrad Matrix room at #internationale:genzedong.org.

    Send a company wide mail today asking for input for the Youth movement the party wants me to set up, considering there’s lots of young people at my place of work. Some Communications Manager replied that I can’t do this, putting the CEO in the CC 😭😭

    All the other replies were really positive with a few people even willing to volunteer, so his ass ain’t gonna stop me.

    The cost of living increases in southern Europe will bring about a revolutionary situation, 5 years ago we (my family) weren’t rich but we owned our own home and had some (very limited) disposable income, but now? We are on the verge of losing out house and we can barely afford essential repairs like fixing broken windows etc, a looot of people here on south Europe are in situations way worse than us. And I think this will bring about a moment we could seize.

              I don’t mean to speak for them but I think they’re just making a joke that Europe being created generally was a bad idea, and it should cease existing. Kind of a layered joke, it could mean “Europe” as in the “EU” should not exist, it could mean that the continent should not exist, it could mean that we should go back in time and shoot Charlemagne in the head lol.

              Ahh, what a better world we would have:

                  I don’t think anyone is taking it that seriously, it’s just cathartic shitposting so as to cope with the millions of people never having been born, and millions murdered, by virtue of European history having played out as it did and continues to.

        Even then they only stay militarily neutral in order to position themselves to collect as much money as possible from the belligerents. The primary orientation of Switzerland is greed.

        Unfortunately I don’t have any more academic resources to share at the moment on the topic.
