  • CW: MENTIONS OF BLOOD, NEEDLES AND PAIN

    Today I had to get my lower right wisdom tooth removed through, of course. It was the first time EVER I’ve had surgery of any kind whatsoever, never before I had to subject myself to anything worse than random checks and stuff like that so I was very worried and nervous. It turns out that tooth developed caries and also broke itself god knows when, and then it developed an infection that was quite painful. So I went to a clinic to have it checked and the odontologist told me I had to get it removed after the infection went away, and then gave me some antibiotics. They charged me about 40 USD for the visit not counting the removal and the meds.

    Later on a friend told me that the Faculty of Odontology, which is part of the much larger Faculty of Medicine that belongs to the University of Buenos Aires (Public), would do removals very cheaply, because in private clinics without insurances you’ll be talking about 90 to 120 USD. So I visited the faculty and oh god it’s really cheap, the initial checkup is like 14USD and it includes a panoramic Xray. Once you do that you can visit the faculty from the next day onwards to have it thoroughly checked and removed, but I had to be there are 6AM because you’ll be treated by students being led by professors, and classes usually start at like 7:30AM. So I went there last friday for a visit, they told me they couldn’t get it removed just now because I still had an infection (I couldn’t really open my mouth wide), so they booked me for a check today. This morning I went there very early again, some members of the staff were on strike so I didn’t know if they would treat me, but it was alright. The idea was to have it checked, see if the infection was gone, but they saw I had good progression and offered me a removal surgery for that same moment. I agreed, and paid like 15USD for the entire operation… all being done by well mannered students with modern equipment under professional supervision.

    The process though was awful. I was very tense, couldn’t stop shaking lol. The local anasthesia wasn’t kicking in properly, the guy who treated me had to give me a couple of shots. I have a strong fear of needles too, which didn’t help, especially if that needle goes into my mouth where I’m like SUPER vulnerable lol. Then the surgery began after I didn’t feel much pain, but I still felt the movements and the pressure being applied for the removal. Horrible experience, I also have a very low tolerance to pain, I’m hemophobic as fuck and I hate surgical/medical instruments so much, so it was intense. I tried to keep my eyes closed and keep it cool but sometimes I would open my eyes and see blood and damn, I hate that. Well, finally the damn thing was removed and they sutured the hole, which was a messy process because I wasn’t cooperating, I had a lot of involuntary movements lol

    It fucking sucked, I felt VERY exposed and vulnerable. I hate pain, I avoid it all I can, and my biggest fear was to feel a sudden and very painful moment. I made a lot of jokes during the process, to ease the tension and to relax the two guys operating me because I thought they might get frustrated. But it was all cool, very good people doing incredible things almost for free.

    The public Unviersity gave me a stupidly cheap surgery and I will be forever grateful for that. Death to javer milei and death to “israel”


  • Comrades, I have something to say. After studying history for many years, and suffering from certain personal experiences like periodic economic crisis, friends losing their homes and jobs, myself being overly exploited by bosses without names or faces, the material conditions of those around me become much worse, misery all over the place, I have reached a conclusion: The collapse of the Soviet Union is the largest tragedy in human history. Since 1991 things have only deteriorated. Everything gets progressively shittier over time.

    However: It will stop being like that. It will be over.

    Our journey towards emancipation begins with the thorough destruction of “israel”. We need an example, our “Bastille”, to begin our counteroffensive. “Israel” is the representation of the “western values”, their most precious creation. Break it. Break the spine of the genocidal west.






  • Whenever you wonder “Why India and Pakistan hate each other?” it is important to remember the British, that goddamn good for nothing piece of shit country that created chaos and misery everywhere they went. And while of course there are local actors who are very responsible for this entire clusterfuck of a shitshow, ultimately the blame falls into Britain.

    Thanks to their colonization of the land, the absolute and utter destruction of local peoples and societies, the stealing, the looting of the indian subcontinent’s riches and the genocides, we came to this awful situation. The stupid ass princes and local monarchs who allied with the British colonial administration for protection and to keep “everything under control”, one of whom created this whole Kashmir mess to begin with, the stupid ass Indian Nationalism (especially the Far Right one, can’t really attack Nehru’s secular nationalistic ideals) and the Pakistani nationalism, spearheaded by Jinnah, who willingly or not became Britain’s agent of chaos to cripple India as it inevitably became independent…

    It’s impossible to know what would have happened if Britain never made it to the Indian Subcontinent, or France, or the Netherlands or Portugal. It’s counterfactual, it’s “what-if” history that serves no purpose other than mere entertainment…, but we do know what happened when Britain intervened and colonized India, you’re seeing it right now.

    Death to Britain and of course, death also to “israel”, another hellspawn of theirs.


  • There’s a very gruesome video of the aftermath of a recent “israeli” massacre carried out against the Gazans, it’s very bad and little kids were struck by them. When I saw it I said to myself that this is the worst I’ve seen so far, but then I remembered I’ve said that last week, and the week prior and so on. I fear we are becoming too used to this, we definitely reached an almost complete normalization of the relentless killings.

    “Israel” is consistently breaching over and over again the limits of violence, each week they become more and more savage and murderous. And now they suffer no backlash for it.

    This is it then. Gazans will be taken out one by one by the zionists. It has been decided by those who can stop this madness, this ridiculous bloodshed, that this will be the fate of Gaza, to be killed either by starvation, water deprivation, unbearable sanitary conditions, bombs, bullets or by their own hand. Let it be known that the image of that little girl today, just sitting there not being really sure what’s going on to her, is but a small preview of what’s to come to, honestly, all of us if “Israel” is not stopped and thoroughly dismantled. In her, I saw the future of millions.

    May zionism suffer a terrible death. May everyone who defend and support this genocide be thrown into the darkest pits of hell and rot there, forever. May Gaza and Palestine win and “israel” die. The future of Gaza and Palestine is now entirely on the hands of it’s Resistance, glory to them.
