Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Sit down on the floor over there. No, it hasn’t been cleaned for a few weeks. What? No, there are no chairs. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!

We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org; you can make an account with any Matrix client (e.g. Element). We have a GenZedong Matrix room (see the sidebar for more information), although it’s not very active at the moment, and there’s also a general Lemmygrad Matrix room at #internationale:genzedong.org.

If you should happen to be interested in doing such a thing, you are able to join our Discord server through a process which will be initiated after clicking on this hyperlink

Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory (and other books), you can use z-lib, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.

    • Am I missing something or does it look really insecure? Thin enough to cut. Short enough to climb, and no wire on top. No braces so push it over maybe?

        Short enough to climb

        I’m now imagining you scaling the wall with your bear hands.

        But also, you’re right, it does look insecure. But that’s part of the plan. Anyone looking to climb up will think twice when they realise it might topple over when they get to the top.

        John Oliver had a rare w moment some time ago. IIRC he hired someone to literally shake the border wall with their bare hands and it wobbled by almost a whole meter (video was John Oliver Border Wall II, now unavailable for some reason). Lots of the wall was built on shit ground that was cracked or constantly soaked, and its foundations are shallow enough to dig through. Also, most illegal immigrants don’t get here by crossing the border. They just come for a “tourist trip” and ignore the expiration date on their visas.

        It’s more about symbolism than actually keeping people out. A big waste of money tbh
