Happy holidays, fellow godless communists. We are in year three of the Five-Year Plan to eliminate all Christmas cheer and create a world free of the joys and festivity of Christmas. Nobody should have to be reminded that in our concrete brutalist communist strongholds, NO ornaments are allowed in December. Please report any Christmas trees, snowflakes, baubles, and presents to the evil secret police, and anybody caught violating their Volcel Pledge by having a tentative kiss under a mistletoe will be shot on sight.

Developments lately have been grim. Our Supreme Communist Dictator Brandon is being removed from office by Christmas-loving patriots, and soon, Christmas will adorn the White House for another four years. This is obviously very disappointing, but while Christmas joy is strictly prohibited, good vibes are still strongly encouraged. Revolutionary optimism (a term we only bring out when things are going very badly and we need to be delusional) shall triumph over defeatist rhetoric by stooges of the Christmas regime.

We must have hope. Our foreign allies aiding us in destroying Christmas now possess hypersonic weaponry, allowing us to compete with and overcome the engine technology powering Santa's sleigh. Abroad, they have destroyed factories and hit cities with missiles travelling at unimaginable speeds into precise targets, while the Christmas regime struggles to produce their own such missiles, as they are still reliant on aircraft bombing campaigns. Precision has a quality all its own, or something along those lines. We just have to hold out another two years or so, and I swear to you: we will live in a world without this accursed holiday.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:

Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

The case of Uri, the man born in the USSR (a "Soviet Refugee" as he likes to present himself) who is now an "israeli" settler and lives in stolen land. Here's the case of a man who is a complete lost cause, a man who you simply cannot reform and integrate back into society as a functioning member because Genocide is rooted deep within their soul and only death runs in their veins.

There's a special kind of piece of shit in the world. Sure, there are a lot of people who simply hate the Palestinians (for whatever reason) and would like to see them dead. There are people who show no compassion towards them, who see them are mere numbers that will one day show up in history books as "total deaths". They're completely unable to see them as fellow humans, therefore they're completely unable to share the same feelings with the Palestinians. There's also a lot of people, people with good intentions, who see the hardships of the Palestinians and immediately form a connection with them, empathy as it is called. It's natural to humans. Zionists are contrary to human nature because not only they inflict severe damage into the people they have decided to hate (people who have done no wrongdoings to them to begin with) but they are unable to see it as well.

Uri is different. Uri is able to see Gazan's sufferings, the hardships. He knows they are starving, they are cold, they have nowhere to go. They know life is shit for them right now. Uri sees all that and almost forms a bond with the Gazan, he knows when he's cold there's a Gazan kid who is also cold, and hungry. But instead of going along with our nature, of having empathy, he throws all that out and feels good. He feels good at the fact that Gazans are starving and dying by the hundreds. He can see and feel their suffering but he loves it. He can see them as human beings, he knows suffering is a thing, but he absolutely loves to idea of inflicting suffering upon people that have done nothing to them but do "get in the way" of his pathetic ultranationalistic project.

He is a massive piece of shit because he tricks nature itself. He tricks all of us with his words, first time I've seen it I was thinking the guy was being empathetic with the Gazans, but no, it's the contrary. He's a special kind of piece of shit, one that knows some people are in the absolute shit right now and asks for more. He's aware, almost feeling sorry, but he keeps on going, just like the many Nazis who knew what they were doing and kept doing it anyways. It's not that he doesn't care about Gazans, he does but in a sinister way.

This is but one sample of many within the "israeli" society in particular and western society in general who feel that way. There are people who deny there's genocide either because they really believe there is no genocide or because they're too afraid to be one of the baddies and there's people who don't waste time and celebrate genocide while asking for more. The latter is at the bottom of human decency, the scum of the scum, the irreparable.

It is also important to remember that everything that "israel" does will be accounted for in the future. We are firm believers in the "fuck around and find out" formula, it just never fails. "israel" will find out, don't you ever think the pain, the misery, the destruction, the death and the suffering they've inflicted upon millions will just go about unpunished. Everything they do, and I really mean everything, will come back at them like a boomerang. It's not "karma", it's them digging their own fucking grave.
