In Poland it’s a crime to allow a guest to leave with a stomach being below full and without some more food for the road.

In Poland not having a backyard garden is a clear sign of being a well earning city slicker. Because if someone’s a proper prole living in the city, it’s good chances they have a miniature balcony garden. If you’re a prole out in the villages, you have a garden guaranteed.

Kind of an interesting culture we have here, but it’s unfortunately dying out…

I’ve only seen a golf course yard once, and it was in one of them slick new American style suburb homes. They’ve looked off-putting, uninviting and fake to me.

Not just NW Europeans, there is a huge culture gap between Poles and Germans.

While we go mushroom hunting every fall, Germans are afraid of even looking at a bolete thinking it will kill them on the spot. It’s a while different world out there, just across the border.

Holy shit. I’ve just skimmed it and it’s quite extensive, definitely saving this for a complete read.

Land of the free.

Do Americans have some kind of adversity to gardens or is it due to HOA bullshit?

So astrology…? But for men…?

Literally just astrology for men

I will never enjoy the act of killing and will endlessly judge you for choosing to. Comrades who are happy to kill will forever raise my eyebrow.

It must be done, because it is necessary, not because we want to.

I will now disengage, it seems nothing fruitful will come in continuing the conversation.

EDIT: Now that I’m rereading this, how can one look at the act of killing and compare it to picking fucking fruit? How is that not asinine?

Killing Nazis? Yes!

Killing? No!

Great post! However I have some issues…

If part of the cope is glorifying the killing, if part of what we must use to spurn ourselves to commit the act is the fanfare of war music and attitudes of detachment and sadism, then so be it. Your damn right I’m gonna draw a little tally mark everytime, I would encourage a friendly competition with comrades seeing how many enemies we can end.

During war, you must do whatever floats your boat. You must do everything to persevere and see another day, to have a tiny sliver of hope. But for those who are not at war, glorifying killing and also possibly war is a grave mistake. We can look at WWII and come to the conclusion that if not for the bravery and sacrifice of the Soviet people, Nazism would’ve won. But as Socialists, not as individuals, to incorporate the “glory of killing the enemy” into any line would be to incorporate a seed of reaction.

There is no choice. It’s kill or be killed. It’s whatever it takes.

If I have to, I will do the job, but I won’t be happy doing it. The bourgeoisie and fascists salivate killing us particularly because of how they glorified killing. But what will socialists do when war comes and how will we approach educating others and enacting war is yet to come. Right now we live in (mostly) peace, and I’d rather my comrades not turn to the reaction or commit adventurism by salivating the act of killing another human being.

I highly doubt Intel would consider not funding it “Brilliant”.

Get better material.

Just kidding, it was because I called Vaush a pedophile.

You have successfully deceived me.

Where’s the meme

Nope, the author of this one is Wojciech Rogacin. A literal “who?”.

Oh I know where that is! Rossmann! I’ve used to see them all over, even at that comical discount and people still weren’t buying! Guess they’ve sold those books to recycling centers or outright dumped them lmao

Perfect description of the war even all those months back
