A colleague of mine is Lebanese and last week told me that they're (hopefully) going back to see their kids for a few weeks this summer. I tried to keep the conversation away from politics or current events, but they eventually made it clear to me that they are very anti-Hezbollah. Could you say anything about the general feeling in Lebanon towards Hezbollah?
This person is in the US and doing STEM, so that will definitely impact their perspective, but I'm curious what the broader opinion might be.
What makes people freak out about molotov ribbentrop is the agreement to partition states.
Made even "funnier" given that the Munich Agreement ALSO included a partition agreement: Germany got the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. Truly just hypocrisy to single out the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact like they do
The "anti-conformity" dork wanting all the protestors to ~~get in line~~ come together in a quiet room with pillows and meditate. lmfaooooo
Hahahaha I keep one at my desk at work
Creamer was another expense when I was in college, and I kinda wanted to see if I could “make” myself like it. And now I have my scale, burr grinder, pour over, local beans…
Thank you for sharing this; it’s a great story! 
some real Strategy of Tension shit. Bleak.
From a comment there:
We are quite lucky that China is so bad at being friendly to its neighbors because we keep shooting ourselves in the foot. No wonder third-world countries see a moral equivalence between our countries: there actually is one.
I'm reeling, these fucking ghouls are so goddamn racist, jesus fucking christ. Saying that under THIS article is fucking unhinged. I know that subreddit is ran by literal feds, but fuck.
Damn, deleted in the seconds it took me to log-in for a response. Should have been a tagline
Don't get me wrong, I love chilling out and being lazy, but I don't think I totally agree: I don't think work is inherently bad. It's bad under capitalism because we're exploited and alienated, but under communism I think it will actually be fulfilling and meaningful.
Speaking from the US, I've known some Catholic Workers Movement people here and there. There aren't many, but they mean well.
There's a church out in San Francisco called GLIDE that used to be a part of the UMC. They're certainly not revolutionary socialists, but they do some genuinely good work. They have one of the largest soup kitchens in the US, as far as I'm aware. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and give out literally hundreds of meals a day, every single day. They also do clean needle exchanges and quite a lot of other programs.
