The Paris Massacre was a brutal instance of police repression against Algerians that occurred on this day in 1961, during the Algerian War.
There were multiple episodes of violence between French police and the French Algerian community during the anti-colonial Algerian War: racist French cops terrorized Algerians, while pro-liberation groups targeted and killed police with bombing campaigns.
It was in this context that the head of the Parisian police, Maurice Papon (a former Nazi collaborator later convicted of crimes against humanity) ordered police to kill Algerians, promising that they would be protected from any consequences.
Under these orders, the French National Police attacked a demonstration by 30,000 pro-National Liberation Front (FLN) Algerians on October 17th, beating dozens to death and throwing people into the Seine river, where many drowned. After 37 years of denial and censorship of the press, the French government finally acknowledged 40 deaths in 1998, although there are estimates of 100 to 300 victims.

We really are just repeating the roaring 20's all over again, with the rise of fascism, trillionaire oligarchs running monopolies, tent cities, e-girls as flappers and swing music.
Man, some days the burnout and depression just creep up on you and drag you screaming into the pit.
:meow-hug:
Solidarity in the misery, comrade.
I push it down and away as much as I can, as I have to. But it’s always there, ready to catch up with me. It’s such a bastard.
My depression manifests instead as an intense laziness and spiraling justification of antisocial lazy behavior

Got some potentially cool gigs with the band maybe happening, might get to open for some sludge metal pioneers at a small local bar (like, 100 person max capacity or smaller). Nothing confirmed, but here's to hoping! Also in talks with a local 800 person capacity venue about putting on a show. They wanna get us in there sometime, and I got the idea for a local bill I approached them with.
No, but now I kinda wish Hexbear did name my band. What was the name you came up with?
Oh someone on here was asking for band names for their death metal band ages ago and they really liked my suggestion but I don't remember exactly what it was. I think it was "Bourgeois Decapitator" or something
Nah, I'm Plague of Carcosa (dont have my real name attached to the project, and its been posted here in the past so have at it with the googling if you want)
I deleted the Door dash app from my phone. I'm not saying you should clap but...
and this discourse is why I can never go back to Reddit once I've tasted the good opinions of hexbear
Imagine failing to recognize the inherent violence of class society and perversely defending your oppressors? Couldn't be me.
please just build some trains america for the love of god build some trains and some apartments and shops around the train stops please just do it or I will literal fucking die
we should all just pool our resources and build our own train with apartments and shops and not let the liberals use any of it
A good step towards this would be nationalizing the railways, and one way to support that is to support the rail unions, which rejected their contract recently.
Sooo.. it turns out the original voice actress for Bayonetta is a TERF and an egomaniac.
trigonometry is cool tho you can do all kinds of shit just with triangles
Im not at the cool part thooooo, I have to learn trig right now, and it is insanely confusing! Trig equations are dumb!
nahhhhhh, I just need to actually use my brain. Gotta go through it slowly and watch the video notes. I'll flop a quiz tomorrow, but I can use the rest of the semester to easily make up for it, since the way its weighted is so weird.
I would offer to help you out but I somehow got all my math credits I'd ever need from high school calculus and then proceeded to forget All Math
How I yearn to be you! Engineering is frustrating! I should have picked history or Poli-sci...
oh boy you don't wanna be me, I'm mr college dropout over here, you, you got your future ahead of you. as long as you show these god damn triangles who's boss!
College is a scam anyway. But I'll kick some triangle asses.
Just gotta keep at it. I promise it starts to get interesting later, if you're at all interested in geometry or math in general
Anything someone could help you with?
Playing pokemon during meetings I'm not actually needed for. So I'm getting paid to play pokemon. Strictly speaking im a professional gamer.
I went on :reddit-logo: holy fucking shit if these people are real we are truly doomed as a species.
love to get a reddit suspension for
lmao just posting your own Ls
eat shit lib pay rent until you die and praise your masters for the opportunity
what a horrible fucking bully I am
actually I don't love it I am actually really mad about it
Getting a reddit ban is like a free vacation from having to know what fash and libs are thinking about.
I just hate that I was mildly rude and I get this "bullying and harassment" bullshit when getting me suspended and another step towards permaban is much more harassing than "eat shit" is
Remember we got banned for refusing to stop saying that slave owners should be killed. It absolutely is incredible bullshit.
:reddit-logo: currently letting everyone wish death on all Russians though, that's obviously fine
