As is tradition, at around this time of year, we discuss the latest developments in the communist plan to destroy Christmas and everything festive and jolly - including that bastard kulak Santa Claus. Down with holly and myrrh, and up with historical materialism!
This year, I’m highlighting the economic trend of de-Decemberization, as the world struggles to break free from the seasonal hegemony imposed by the North Pole. Some regard it as a rather overhyped phenomenon, stating that the chains of Christmas are too frozen for any country to thaw and break in the current environment. Others are more optimistic, and assert that perhaps an alternative world holiday could be established to outright replace it, or maybe a series of smaller holiday traditions can bring it down like a pack of wolves bringing down a moose.
To return to seriousness, as this year draws to a close, I hope everybody here - yes, also you, the person reading this - has a 2026 that was better than 2025, and that the efforts of the United States and their proxies are foiled at every turn. One day, humans will live in a world free from empires, and it would be nice if as many of us as possible lived to see that world’s birth.
At the very least, I’d like to live to see an aircraft carrier sink beneath the waves.

The Zionist Entity's Genocide of Palestine
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against the temporary Zionist entity. 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.

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.

How to force rich eurofucks to do anything, threaten their esptein-coded playtime after the conference.
Answers: Europeans, Europeans will, and Europeans.
Nobody could have predicted that the Ukraine War would lead to massive amounts of cuts to welfare systems, end in defeat and discredit the EU - if only someone told all the socdem parties that becoming pro-Ukraine would bite them in the ass…They did? And they got branded as putin tankie bots? Whoopsie.
This outcome was so foreseeable I was able to call it in the first month of the war with no special information.
How do these elites with enormous intelligence agencies and all the information in the world at their fingertips not manage to see such a blindingly obvious outcome??
Is there an explanation for how this is even possible?
You cannot make a man understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it, etc.
They’re ideologically incapable of understanding how things actually work, everyone from prime ministers and presidents, down to the people cleaning the toilets in the offices of various intelligence agencies, are all 100% bought into the idea that the world revolves around the EU, that “western values” are real and objectively better than anything else, “we are the garden, they are the jungle” and work backwards from there.
Just look at how top-level euro politicians talk about Ukraine (or anything really), it’s indistinguishable from the type of shit you see in random reddit comments written by literal children. And it’s not an act.
They know. They needed a reason to militarize. Think 1930s Germany.
I do think that it is actually an act. We see in the behind-the-scenes reveals where there are leaks or Vovan/Lexus prank calls they openly admit to knowing that NATO is provoking the war, and that they are openly lying to buy time for Ukraine to build up its military. Behind the scenes they know exactly what is happening, they only act all Slava Ukraini in public for the baying nafo hordes.
They dont need to understand it - EU elites are hand-fed american puppets who base their power on the washington led global finance system not on any strictly confined - Look at Habeck and Baerbock they got nice cushy jobs - one a professor in Massachusetts and the other another german ghoul politician export.
They took a gamble/risk. Small chance that Russia collapses and they get to plunder that, but even if that doesn’t happen they still get to profit massively off of MIC contracts and the Americans still are happy to liquidate European capital and discipline their vassal states in Europe into submission. It’s a win-win for American capitalists, there’s no lose condition here for them
I meant more the Europeans - this was a net win for the USA no matter what the outcome was, definitely agree there. Even just getting to destroy the pipeline was probably enough.
European capitalists hold no allegiance to their nations, only to themselves and to capital. They would happily move to the USA if necessary (total war or collapse in EU), or continue to exist as the rulers of their hollowed out little fiefdoms in Europe. You have to remember that the comprador classes are not nationalist in character, they do not care at all about the wellbeing of the country they happen to reside in outside of short-term financial gains. The comprador classes of nations like Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, China and Russia openly call for the destruction of their home countries and countrymen, they don’t care as long as they get to reign over the ruins. Even those not in the diaspora, like Navalny-ites in Russia pre-2022, were open about how willing they were to sell off their own country to the wolves.
