The drone sightings near Danish and Norwegian airports come amid heightened concerns over Russian violating EU airspace.

Copenhagen airport has reopened after briefly closing due to sightings of “unidentified drones”, even as another drone sighting has prompted Norway’s Oslo airport to shut its airspace.

Earlier on Monday, Copenhagen airport said it closed its airspace “due to two to three unidentified drones”.

Airport spokeswoman Lise Agerley Kurstein said about 15 flights had been diverted to other airports.

Oslo Airport also shut its airspace from midnight local time (2200 GMT) due to a drone observation, a spokesperson for the Norwegian airport operator Avinor said in a statement, adding that all flights were diverted to the nearest airport.

Copenhagen police, meanwhile, said that “three or four big drones” had been observed flying over the airport.

“They are still flying back and forth, coming and going,” duty officer Anette Ostenfeldt told the AFP at 10:45pm (20:45 GMT), adding that police were at the airport investigating.

She could not say if the drones were military or civilian.

Any chances this is actually connected with whoever was doing the recent hacking attacks suffered in much of Europe, and, perhaps, not actually connected to Russia directly at all?

Why would Russia be antagonizing more European countries? What do they gain by doing this? Even if the plan was to invade all of Europe of whatever the way you do that is one at a time not attacking Denmark before you're even finished with Ukraine. If these events are related to the Ukraine conflict it is more likely to be a false flag to draw more allies into the conflict against Russia.

Reminder these drones are the kind used to fool anti-air defense systems. They're essentially balloons with propellers attached to them and incapable of serious attacks. They're very cheap to produce. So cheap, in fact, that one shouldn't put it past the Zelensky regime to deploy these in an attempt to false-flag further escalation from its European backers.

uygha, the US is using Ireland as a pawn in the Zionist scheme to forcibly displace millions of people from Muslim majority countries. You have to have a single-digit I.Q. to think you can have a government which submits to US bullying when it comes to genocide, but which will then turn around and stand up for itself when the genocidal US foreign policy agenda creates waves of mass migration.

Also, the UK is occupying the north of the country. There's no metric by which this disingenuous re-skinned "what did Palestine ever do for George Floyd"-ass bullshit of yours holds any water to begin with, let alone in justifying your schizoid argument that Ireland ceding its foreign policy positions to the US and UK is somehow good. Those are the countries which are creating the refugee crisis in western Asia and Europe. Ireland either rejects the UK's occupation and the US's dictates or it cedes its sovereignty to them; there is no option where Ireland is made complicit in the genocide but then is not made to bear consequences for it in the form of migrants by the same powers who dictated Ireland's foreign policy.

Kys. The Irish people voted to boycott goods from the occupied territories and the US getting a veto over it is fundamentally a bad thing. If you think any country which is forced to import products which financially support the creation of refugees won't be forced to import those same refugees, you do not have a functioning brain.

The same priciple applies to the UK - Starmer runs military spy flights on behalf of the IOF. The UK trains IOF soldiers. On behalf of the Zionists, Starmer bans groups and has the police waste time arresting grannies for holding cardboard signs. You can't maintain a status quo of giving handouts to a foreign military and then pretend to be a Britain first nationalist. Every single politician who claims to oppose the influx of migrants, but supports the US/Israeli wars which have created the crisis has, without fail, proven to be completely insincere about stopping the migrant waves they help create, because the venn diagram between Zionist interests and the interests of neoliberal finance capital is so tight that it's almost just a circle. The only major British politician whose position is consistent is George Galloway, but he thinks it's bad to spend billions waging war around the world and killing children, too, so I guess you think he's a bourgeois liberal. Neck yourself, retard.

The Irish workers have a right to decide to boycott foreign goods, and to not economically support the continued Zionist creation of the migrant crisis in west Asia.

If you want to know what has failed the workers of Ireland, the UK, and Europe, the answer is electoralism. Electoralism failed. The IRA did nothing wrong, they accomplished way more to damage the British occupation than electoralism has, and they wouldn't have tolerated some imperialist power dictating what foreign stuff Ireland has to buy.

Gegenstandpunkt is a German Marxist journal founded in Münich 1992. They primarily focus on Marx's theories and the analysis of current events from a Marxist perspective. They reject parliamentarianism. Their most well known member is Karl Held, who died in 2010.

As far as I know, they are against Leninism and any other Marxist thought that comes from it. They have been identified as a "left-wing extremist group" by the German governments Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, they also say that "Due to their elitist understanding of Marxism, the group is largely isolated in the left-wing extremist scene." (at least according to the German wikipedia article) which I find humorous.

I downloaded two of their English translated books called "The Democratic State Critique of Bourgeois Sovereignty" and "Work and Wealth", and I'm planing on reading them after I've read more Marx's own work, like Capital Volume 1, and the work of other Marxists, namely those from my country of origin and of Left-Communist (Italian Left-Communist, Councilist, Communizers etc.) writers who I'm interested in.

Party declaration:
https://x.com/ACPMain/status/1815163785134436404

The American Communist Party (ACP) is an organization which aims to reconstitute the historic Communist Party USA, which has become corrupted by federal agents and liberal forces. Look no further than Joe Sims, who supports the genocidal Democratic Party. It was launched in July of 2024, in response to the events of the 32nd Convention of the CPUSA. At this convention, party leadership subverted and betrayed democratic centralism and the freedom of critique which is supposed to follow from it. They claimed to be a genuine Marxist-Leninist party, but the leadership doesn't even follow their own rules. The CPUSA delayed all elections and without a vote made a resolution that they’d basically just campaign for Democrats. Just a bunch of boomers sitting around and writing articles about identity politics rather than organizing.

Already the ACP is far more successful than anyone would have expected from a brand new baby party. They are building reputation locally, taking care of their own communities and making areas safe for children and families to enjoy. Diplomatic ties on the international level have already been established. ACP has garnered more attention in the past couple months than the corrupt, decadent CPUSA leadership has in decades. A huge number of the CPUSA clubs across the entire country had a huge part in making this happen. Will you join up?

It's not an unreasonable assumption to make when stuff like picrel exists.

One does not preclude the other. My pet theory is that Hinkle (and only Hinkle, the rest are useful idiots) is a glowop trying to create infighting within the Western left; a divide and conquer strategy.
>I don't even like Haz
Most people don't.

And I think this is the big thing that ACPheads seem to miss. Even when they're shitting on his politics, people don't shit on Haz because of his politics; they shit on him because he's a supremely unlikable person. He acts like Andrew Tate meets Chris Chan. It's fucking obnoxious, and most people reject everything he has to say on that basis alone.

I've seen this claimed (specifically on these sites) forever, but National Bolshevism actually originated much earlier. There were unironic National Bolsheviks from the 1930s on, including some weird ones like Lehi after Stern's death. It doesn't seem out of the question that someone could have been legitimately trying to revive it.

Translate their Official FAQ into English, or listen to interviews with the founders.
Nazbol movement was basically a punk anarkiddie movement that adopted "Stalinism", the logo was literally made to troll Yeltsin retards who were going around pushing double genocide bullshit and muh "Totalitarianism". National Bolshevik movement was largely tied to the radical far-left faction of the KPRF as well.
People take what is essentially the old 8chleftypol NAZBOL GANG meme, and actually think it was serious, that is how people react to Dugin and the National Bolshevik movement. Not realizing Dugin is essentially a troll post-modern philosopher more in the style of Zizek, and the National Bolsheviks were born out of Anarkiddie punks so were trying to be provocative.
The Nazbols and Dugin are also fanatically anti-racist and anti-antisemitism, it's actually one of the core planks of their ideology, and they despise White-Nationalism and antisemitism to a extremely absurd degree (with Dugin trolling that if Jewish led white genocide is happening, it's good), which is a strange position to push for so called "fascists".
>>491333
Sure, but the National Bolshevik movement, nor Dugin, has anything really to do with that. They emerged as figures in the 1990s as part of anti-United Russia/Yeltsin front. In Russia, Dugin and the National Bolsheviks are seen as radically far-left.
That said, Dugin nor the NazBol movement has anything really to do with the ACP. They are influential on Haz and Hinkle, but they don't set the party agenda, there is nothing "Fascist" in the ACP policy or party positions and it's pretty clear the ACP is more based on the Post-Mao CPC.

The protests that erupted were the first widespread challenge to the Modi regime and were met with brute force by the state. Dozens were killed by police fire and activists were detained and tortured.

Striking Boeing Defense workers approve union's proposed contract that company rejected
The union proposal that members approved would cost Boeing an estimated $40 million per year on average, up from $30 million for the company's offer, according to the IAM. The company has said it would hire replacement workers to assemble munitions, fighters and other military aircraft in the St. Louis area. Boeing has used non-union workers to dampen the strike's effects on production, but company leadership has acknowledged that it has slowed work on several programs.

Official Press Release By CPI (Maoist) TSC Spokesperson Comrade Jagan: The temporary declaration of ceasefire in the armed struggle issued by Comrade Sonu in the name of Central Committee spokesperson Comrade Abhay is only Sonu’s personal opinion, not a party decision.
Although there have been protests across the country demanding an end to Operation Kagaar, the BJP—driven by an anti-people, violent agenda—continues this campaign of killings. On top of that, BJP leaders are publicly declaring that they will not negotiate with the Maoists and are demanding that they lay down arms and surrender. While on one hand they claim “we will not negotiate,” on the other they continue a spree of killings — and yet one of the central committee members, Comrade Sonu, has inexplicably asked us for a month’s time while announcing that he is suspending the armed struggle. He has said he needs a month to consult long-standing party leaders and activists in various places and has requested that party committee members send their opinions to the email address he gave. There is no sense in announcing something this important in that manner. If someone wants to leave the armed movement and work within the mainstream legally, that decision should be discussed and approved within the party committee. If he had submitted his views through party channels, he would have received responses to his questions. Instead, by publicly declaring such a major step, he has sown confusion within party ranks and in the revolutionary camp. His method of proceeding will not help the movement; it will harm it.

How did genderism and transgenders become associated with and straight up completely dominate the left? They're regressive ideals. When I was growing up, I was advocating that people should be free to express themselves no matter their sex. I thought it was the progressive consensus at the time. Now they push for identitarianism and I myself frequently suffered abuse at their hands as an androgynous intersex gay man being strongly pushed not only to identify as a woman (because men are le bad(? - I think anyway)) but also pressured to claim to be attracted to female sex characteristics if the owners didn't claim to identify as women, which would be quickly called homophobic and therefore a bigotry in the past but now is being pushed and homosexuals are called bigots for being homosexual.

The 'leftist' politicians no longer even seem to do anything but peddle the culture war focused on gender, especially transgenderism. The liberals don't even seem to believe in it, they just peddle it, with the new man vs woman divide being mostly men vs non-men but when it comes down to it they divide it as 'amab' vs 'afab'.

There are many issues disproportionely affecting men, but no one speaks about it on the left anyway, no one acknowledges many female privileges which become extremely prelavent when the society is struggling: they don't give a fuck about the huge amount of homeless men, how women avoid sentences and get far less harsh sentences (I work in a prison and everyone here speaks of it and it is materially very blatant), how women's wellbeing both physical and mental are prioritised while men's frequently targetted with the aim of making them worse; how in spite of all the alleged progress men are still fully expected to provide and suck all up; the unnamed androcides which are falsely called 'wars' and so much more.

This isn't to even mention how worldwide collectively male genital mutilation is widely encouraged, misnamed to a 'circumcision', but also including nearly all intersex people who will be operated on to make their genitals appear female, no matter the price (health, chronic pain and so much more) - I myself fell a victim a few months ago when a surgeon during a surgery on my urethra decided to perform a partial vaginoplasty without my consent and hide behind my intersex disease claiming it was needed even though I didn't have a vagina and I cannot even fathom how one could rule making one could ever be medically necessaPost too long.

1: Western Leftist isn't based on Materialism, but is very much an "outcast" counter-culture that ranks heiarchy based on "oppression". This means leftist spaces find it near impossble to gatekeep against crazies, if those crazies check certain oppression boxes. This is easily manipulated by malicious power hungry types, for decades the black and muslim community who would use the left for their own idpol agendas then stab the left immediately in the back the moment they sniffed power or money, now it's the LGBT community.
2: Modern LGBT movement is essentially Narcissism the movement, and 98% of Transgenderism is viciously Narcissistic Cluster B fuelled AGP and extremely thin skinned autists who think playing a girl is life on "easy mode". Being terminally online, while also pushing all the right oppression boxes, and being experts in tumblr woo academia woke speak and manipulation of statistics and victim narrative, Troons literally took over the entire online left, completely silenced and purged anyone who even just dared questioned their clearly horseshit, delusional claims and mass gaslighting. I mean, look at the "Trans genocide" claims and then realise, Trans people literally have some of the lowest rates of abuse, hate crimes or crime against them of any demographic. Troons a near equal to Zionists in the sheer ability to crybully and spout memorized hasbara horseshit.
This also flows into real life orgs due to number 1, throw on the fact that LGBT today is also the compelte Vanguard force of modern Liberalism and most Western leftists are shitlibs, this means nobody can really stand against them.
To understand how absolutely pathetically dogshit troons are at debating, look at this Trans rights activist just completely fall apart from being asked basic questions and some light pushback against their questionable logic

The city’s Democratic mayor, Paul Young, says the ‘decision has been made’ but he does not think it will drive down crime.

US President Donald Trump will extend federal law enforcement action to the city of Memphis, Tennessee, in a move that will include sending in National Guard troops and setting up a “Memphis State Task Force” to tackle crime, though police say overall criminal offences are at a 25-year low.

Trump announced the move in an executive order on Monday to rid Memphis of what he called the “tremendous levels of violent crime that have overwhelmed its local government’s ability to respond effectively”.

The executive order did not set out a timeline for when the Memphis task force, which will also include the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the US Marshals Service, will be deployed.

Trump described the task force as a “replica” of his crackdown on Washington, DC, in August, according to the Associated Press news agency, which saw the US president deploy the National Guard on the streets of the US capital.

Trump has pushed for a similar military involvement in policing in Baltimore and Chicago, which, like Memphis and Washington, DC, are Democratic strongholds.

Trump’s Memphis task force has the backing of Tennessee’s Republican governor, Bill Lee, who joined Trump in the White House for the announcement.

“I have been in office for seven years. I’m tired of crime holding the great city of Memphis back,” Lee said during a signing ceremony.

They appear to be trying to make an example out of him, but if they murder him they make him into a heroic martyr.

The stupidity is unbelievable.

Ehhhh…
They do stuff like this for a reason. Even if he's a martyr, there are still uses for brutal crackdowns and this kind of despotism and bourgeois class war.

Nope this one's just stupid, this guy proved that members of the ruling class could just be gunned down in the street. The rational response is to memory-hole this entire episode as quickly as possible. Try to co-opt Luigi's rebel brand and turn it into a commercial product. Capitalism used to be intelligent that way. If they take revenge, they increase the sociological meaning of his act, and the hoopla just serves to remind people that high-powered CEOs are just human beings as fragile as everybody else.

>Even if he's a martyr,
Creating martyrs is really dumb, the acts of martyrs become virtuous, and that significantly increases the likely-hood of copycats and inspire other smaller acts of defiance.

>there are still uses for brutal crackdowns and this kind of despotism and bourgeois class war.
Rule by fear is temporary. Once people figure out that they can trigger a crack-down as means to lure the brutish goons into a trap…
French resistance fighters during the late periods of WW2 had began luring fascist Jew-hunters into fire traps, the tactic was beyond ruthless, so many fascists went looking for hidden Jews and only found fragmentation grenades going off in their faces. I don't know if there was a counter because the fascists got crushed by the allied forces before they had the chance to formulate one.

Enduring despotism seems to only persist in the imperial periphery, where the power to maintain it is external. like when empires prop up despotic vassal regimes.

It does not appear like a calibrated action to entrench power, born from calculation. This appears to be reactive.
