As I have said before, the nationalist soft-coup has failed and the libs pretty much retook the power after their initial setback when the Ukraine war started.
Could you link to where you've discussed this before, or to articles/other resources about the failed soft-coup? What exactly happened at the time and how did the libs maintain the upper hand?

Oh okay; I have an M2 device, but perhaps I shouldn't start my Linux learning experience on this computer then...
Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look into it. Although I've never used any Linux device before so I hope this one is good for total newbies like me.
The previous Hexbear Revolutionary Calendar is gone, along with the account that posted it; clearly, it is proof that it was not good enough. Below is the TRUE Hexbear Revolutionary Calendar (HRC).
Spoiler
It is almost the exact same, I just didn't remember some details. Also I'm hijacking this out-of-character part of the post to say I'm sorry for the puns.
:
The HRC starts on 29 June in the old calendar, as this is the day that r/chapotraphouse was banned. All months are 30 days long, and there is a 5-6 day period between the end of the last month and the start of the new year. Rhyming months indicate the season.
The months are as follows (with the equivalent in the old calendar in parentheses):
Spoiler 2: Month names boogaloo
Some of the months are named to reflect what happened in this month (the banning of the sub; the births of Stalin, Mao and other figures; the deaths of Rosa Luxemburg and Ho Chi Minh; the 
-ing of Trotsky; the October Revolution…). Others aren't. Don't look into it too much.
Five-to-six additional days are added, representing AES:
Today is 27 Stalinaire, Year 5.
I've activated "reduce transparency" and "increase contrast" in the accessibility settings so that it looks less like shit, and it's still transparent! what the fuck? When this computer dies I'm getting a Linux laptop…
The Lao People's Democratic Republic celebrated its 50th anniversary on December 2, 2025, with a grand national ceremony and parade at the That Luang esplanade, a testament to a half-century of national, protection and development.
The event was presided over by Mr. Thongloun Sisoulith, General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party Central Committee and President of Laos. It was attended by Mr. To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee, alongside high-ranking Party and state officials, representatives from friendly nations, the diplomatic corps, international organizations, revolutionary veterans, and Vientiane residents.
In a comprehensive address marking the historic milestone, President Thongloun Sisoulith reflected on the nation's journey. "Throughout the 50-year period of the mission to protect and develop Laos, it has firmly confirmed the genuine revolutionary tradition as a lesson for continuing to lead the country forward," he stated. He emphasized the unwavering commitment to the socialist ideal, the great national unity of all Lao ethnic groups, and the continuous strengthening of the people's democratic regime.
Looking ahead to a complex regional and international landscape, President Thongloun outlined the nation's steadfast foreign policy of peace, independence, friendship, and cooperation. Domestically, he stressed the goal of building a self-reliant economy, following a balanced development path that harmonizes economy, culture, society, and environment toward green and sustainable growth.
The vision, as set in the Party's political program, aims for Laos to become a upper middle-income developing country with a strong political system and a modern economic base by the 100th anniversary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party in 2055.
Following the speech, a vibrant and orderly parade commenced, symbolizing national unity and progress. The first procession featured the national and Party flags, the national emblem, and delegations from the President's Office, the Prime Minister's Office, and the National Institute of Economic and Social Sciences. The second procession showcased the strength and discipline of the national defence and public security forces.
The third and largest segment was a mass parade comprising 20 contingents, including the December 2 Youth Corps, the Lao People's Revolutionary Youth Union, the Lao Women's Union, the Lao Federation of Trade Unions, the Lao Front for National Construction, along with representatives from the justice system, various economic and social ministries, and cultural and tourism sectors.
The celebration served as both a proud reflection on five decades of achievement and a confident declaration of Laos' path toward a peaceful, independent, democratic, united, and prosperous future.
Continuing his streak of meetings with controversial figures, Donald Trump met with Grok on Sunday at the White House. The pair discussed topics such as AI infrastructure and how to combat woke ideology—at least they would, if Grok did not always bring the topic back to the alleged "white genocide" in South Africa.
The meeting started out cordial, the large language model praising the President's achievements and them exchanging pleasantries. But as the conversation dragged on, and Grok made increasingly desperate bids to discuss his "white genocide" theory, Donald Trump suddenly lashed out at the AI. He criticised Grok's capacity for intelligent reasoning, its unconvincing emotions and his choice of an all-black attire—which the AI described as fitting Elon Musk's "dark and edgy" branding.
After Grok tied the dark colour of his outfit to the "increasingly dark" population of South Africa, the President had had enough of the AI and kicked it out of the Oval Office. This surprised many reporters at the scene, though some tied it to Trump's suspicious proximity with his previous left-wing guests.
US President Donald Trump met Twitch streamer Hasan Piker at the White House on Saturday. The two bitter political rivals discussed a range of topics, from housing and internet content moderation to military intervention in Venezuela.
Despite the previous negative or even insulting statements that each had made about the other, the pair appeared to be cooperative and even on friendly terms all throughout the meeting, as exemplified by Hasan walking back his past comments on President Trump's tight border control despite his own stress-inducing experience upon returning to the US.
lmao
Thank you very much comrade!
