read gramsci. it's a pain in the ass but it explains a lot.

nobody takes responsibility, nobody's got a conscience. and in fact as someone said here, some of these agents wanted to receive these orders anyway.

also, f*ck a.i.

• pensioners back in the 90s: you shouldn't trust everything you see on the internet, no one knows who came up with that;
• pensioners in the 2010s: of course the communists are gonna force the children to use penis-shaped peacifiers! this random person who added me on a random whatsapp group wouldn't lie to me!

most intelligent democrat: "that's on you for not voting on us when we clearly said we would continue supporting israel in their gaza genocide!"

that's capitalism for you.

well remembered, a bayleaf is essential.

just a few and that's ok. people will make good and bad things and there are a few with whom you'll really get along with. keep them close.

they were at fault for putting the back of their heads against the barrels of our guns while we were harmlessly shooting! shame on you antissemitics!

brazilian beans.

• a cup or two of beans soaked overnight (discard the soaking water). you can make with black beans, but i prefer pinto (whoa)
• 1 or 2 clovers of garlic
• 1 or 2 large onions
• salt
• water or a stock of your choice (works better with meat or vegetable stock)

sautée the diced garlic and onions in cooking oil or lard until golden. add the strained beans, about a teaspoon of salt, cover with water or stock up to 1.5, 2 cm above the beans. cook for about 30 min in a pressure cooker over low fire. after done, mash some beans to free some starch to the broth and adjust the salt to your liking. serve with some white rice, lettuce and tomato salad, and a protein of your choice (steak with onions, roasted chicken, fish fillet, sausages, pork steak, schnitzel, fried egg and veggie patties are popular choices).

if enough broth is left over, it can be served on its own as soup on small cups, often with some drops of the hot sauce of your choice (tabasco, jalapeño, sriracha). this is called "caldinho", or little broth, and goes well accompanying beer, caipirinha, mojito or daiquiri.

you can also add some other things to boost your beans. popular choices are diced tomatoes or tomato paste, diced bell peppers, winter squash cubes, green onions, cilantro, parsley, powdered cumin, bacon or jerky cubes, diced sausages, or roasted meat/pork leftovers.

the west: "nothing to see here, move on, move on!"

politically speaking i think that makes no sense. i mean, you're leaving because of the far right in power in the u.s., but then again italy is being governed by the far right. leaving your country, and therefore much of what you know, your support network, for political reasons only makes sense if there's a well funded fear for your life because of your political activities. in that case i (as a communist) would probably go to a country with bland politics (where the far right would have no risk of reaching power for at least 10 years or so), or a straight up communist country, even if not of the same persuation.

there are other things that might make italy more attractive, such as having public healthcare, decent education, some social security coverage (subpar as compared to much of the rest of western europe, i think), cheap groceries. however, on the other side, housing and utilities are expensive. it will be better if you have a degree or some sort of qualification in high demand, it will be easier for you to get a job. however, when you're an immigrant, locals will probably give preference to other locals, at least because it will be easier to communicate with.

he's wrong on keeping anyone pro-israel and he's wrong on thinking the democrats as "left".
