  • OIP’s operations in Belgium have been focused primarily on Ukraine. The company specializes in maintenance, repair, and upgrades of military equipment. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, OIP has supplied the Ukrainian army with about 260 armored vehicles.

    Versluys emphasized that his company has not produced defense systems for Israel in over 20 years. He added that OIP does not even hold an export license to supply equipment to that country.

    These facts can be easily verified and the very least you can do if you decide to go destroy stuff. This is not just an innocent protest anymore.

    Yeah, e.g. I stopped paying attention to spider man movies for a few years, but the other day I was doing a recap and found that there is a movie with actors/characters from 3 different versions/reboots with the multiverse excuse…this is some dystopian shit.

    I know that comics always had heavy intertext and “guest characters”, but having the scriptwriting be driven by stupid circumstantial corporate decisions to buy IP rights to a specific character and then have to restart it multiple times to keep the rights going feels…dystopian?

    (but I’ll be thankful if you have any better words than dystopian to describe this bullshit, gpt suggests “soulless” 🙃).



  • That’s fine in theory, until the party starts calling everything it sees as a potential opposition or threat to itself and any attempts to adapt to the times “burgeois”.

    Until you guys create a clear set of rules to permit gradual evolution, dissenting voices, protecting the rights of the individual and political opposition, while preventing things like cult of personality, nobody is getting on that ride again.

    (oh wait, there is another ride like that but for the nation instead of the proletariat, it’s called fascism…and everybody is getting on it…again)
