Giuseppe “Pino” Pinelli (1928 - 1969) was an Italian railroad worker and anarchist who fell to his death on this day in 1969 while being detained by Italian police. His death became the subject of the play “Accidental Death of an Anarchist” by Dario Fo.
Pinelli was a member of the Milan-based anarchist association named “Ponte della Ghisolfa”, and was also the secretary of the Italian branch of the Anarchist Black Cross. He organized young anarchists in the “Gioventu Libertaria” (Libertarian Youth) in 1962 and helped found the “Sacco and Vanzetti anarchist association” in 1965.
A few days before Pinelli’s death, Italian fascists from the “Ordine Nuovo” orchestrated a bombing campaign in Milan; one bomb in Piazza Fontana killed 17 people and injured 88. The bombing was blamed on Italian anarchists, and Pinelli was detained along with many other leftists, including Pietro Valpreda, who was falsely convicted and served eighteen years in prison.
Just before midnight on December 15th, 1969, Pinelli fell to his death from a fourth floor window of the Milan police station. Three police officers interrogating Pinelli, including Commissioner Luigi Calabresi, were put under investigation in 1971 for his death, but legal proceedings concluded it was due to accidental causes.
Calabresi was later gunned down at his home in 1972, for which left-wing journalist Adriano Sofri was convicted in 1997.

Some of the new users are about to be surprised by the vehemently anti-west/NATO position of the site lol
Hopefully they have an open mind and the time to read 10,000 pages of theory.
I was hoping they’d find the trans mega first before seeing the Mao memes or whatever lol. I personally had a wacky few months integrating into the site, never posting, but actively asking myself “Am I being radicalized in real time?”
The answer was yes, but in a good way.
Yeah but I feel like we historically are good enough at keeping users who have some lib brainworms about geopolitics so long as that doesn’t manifest itself as racism. They’ll learn the ropes unless they’re more attached to kkkrakkkerdom than their leftism.
Hey now, some of us are old and were radicalized a* long time* a go
They call it broad daylight because women light up da world
Mob members being woke is always hilarious to me.
“Hey! Oh! You best smarten up pally, we say Made PERSON nowadays! And da boss don’t want you doin’ ANY business without first checking the pronouns of everyone in the crew! Capiche? Now take a walk!”
Ay Tone, you evah wondah about dis gendah shit? Just because we was born AMAB don’t mean we can’t choose to express ourselves howevah we want, ya know?
“The Bing is makin’ it hands over fist as the first fully unionized strip club! Dem sex workers really put in a days work and deserve all they got and more. And the customers like to watch a dancer knowin they got a dental plan.”
I’ll just steal a bit real fast if no one minds:
Guy called Tony Cancelioni: Ay, it would be a huge shame if some 5 year old insensitive tweets of yours were to come out. Would be a real problem you know, if there was a picture of you wearing Geisha makeup in a traditional Chinese dress in prom night. Wouldn’t want your boss seeing those images, capische?

I do not get these people at all, a restaurant would need to serve me actual human feces before I would even think about complaining
I’m vegan and I’ve had places send me food w/ meat in it that makes it inedible when I ordered the non-meat version. I’d be kinda mad if they didn’t refund me or pay for a reorder. Not telling a rando employee to kys yourself tho. If they sent something else that I could eat, I’d just complain to myself and eat it anyway for sure.
I don’t think I can leave hexbear. I was talking to someone who I thought was a comrade on tiktok. She said we need to fix rascism before we can fix capitalism. I said that in the examples we can see fixing capitlaism decreased rascism and I am inclined to follow the examples of successful cadres around the world in this. Which ironically means centering PoC voices which is good for fighting rascism. Workers of the world unite. She called me a tanky and blocked me. I have been here so much that I forgot she ment that as an insult. I know I don’t get to be the final arbiter on this but I am pretty sure her refusing to listen to ML leaders in AES countries is a chauvinst responce. I feel like we were having a nice conversation about idealism vs materialism and then I got hit with the thought terminating cliche
what’d I miss where are all the new users coming from also hello new users
A cool user on Bluesky posted about this being a safer alternative space for lefty trans users due to the failure of Bluesky to ban a well known transphobe and his group of harrassers.
Welcome new cool trans ppl
Is there a link to that post anywhere?
This is the Hexbear thread and the OP is a Bluesky link to the post. Our post has a mirror that works without an account. https://hexbear.net/comment/5734947
Image proxying is now enabled. You can safely link an image to an external host and lemmy will auto-proxy it, protecting users that view it
Does this also mean that federated users’ embedded images will be visible?
i think so
ELI5?
we can now link to images from external domains without privacy issues
Ya know when someone random pops up in a dream? Just checked in on an old friend I haven’t seen since pre-COVID on Facebook to see what they’re up to because they were in my dream last night. Turns out they moved to Israel like 18 months ago and have been posting Zionist shit.
When I first met them they were a Jewish anti Zionist and now they’re literally an Israeli coloniser lol. What the hell. Feels like finding out somebody died.
That’s awful, I’m sorry! I often wonder how people can slide all the way to the right when they once had leftist politics. I just could never see that happening to me, howww does it happen
i remember reading this quote from stalin a while back, and i keep thinking about it when watching the events of the world unfold. so i figure i share the quote
What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international communism would be lost.
i then think about this LOTR meme
i dunno, i just been feeling low on the morale and have been struggling to get myself to do things
I feel ya. My personal life and my organising life are at their lowest ebb in the last four or five years. I guess we have to carry on.
you know what, on a minor recollection of my thoughts i remember the book, how the steel was tempered and this banger quote from the movie that might help
“Man’s dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world──the fight for the Liberation of Mankind” ― Nikolai Ostrovsky
or the movie edition (with hyper link)
CW misogyny
Ok so I bought a drawing guide book because I want to learn anatomy, and it really annoys me that the majority of the faces and body features are male, but the majority of the nudes (lile 90%) are female. I’m trying to draw all people why are only men treated as people with features worth drawing and women treated as only worth drawing when nude.
If I read this entire book and took everything I learned from it I could draw detailed white men and naked white women Except it doesn’t even explain much, it just shows sketches and is like “draw this”. The illustrator uses cross hatching all the time but never explains how to properly do that
Ya pretty creepy, tbh. So sorry that society is this weird.
You don’t have to apologize it probably isn’t your fault that the patriarchy exists. It’s probably on me for buying a book written by an Italian
I have this bad habit of saying “I’m sorry” when I should say “damn that’s fucked”.
It’s probably on me for buying a book written by an Italian
never forgetIt’s annoying that sorry is used for both empathy and apology, I definitely have to emphasize one over the other when appropriate as well. I blame the entire English language
I seem to recall Loomis having men and women in equal proportion in his torture method (books). The reason I being it up is to say that joke and it made me think of, perhaps by way of conflating something someone else said, that you’re going to struggle drawing clothes if you can’t comprehend what’s underneath. I thought that was interesting and ultimately unhelpful for your observation.
Yeah I mean I would definitely like to be able to draw naked men, the nudity is not the problem. Although actually I don’t think this book has a section on clothes either. Nobody buys Giovanni Civardi’s Drawing: a Complete Guide, it is infact incomplete
i got my covid booster yesterday and i feel so sick today lmao
anecdotally, my friend who lives in china said their boosters don’t really have any negative side effects. god i wish that were me
Hope you feel better soon! Wonder why theirs don’t have side effects 🤔
thank you! i feel mostly better now :)
i was hit pretty hard too, on my fourth day of feeling just horrible but it’ll be worth it
damn, hope you feel better soon!
I’m enjoying all the bluesky people, feels like a very friendly group. Way less hostility than the federation influx. I have found the earnest usernames kinda funny by comparison to what’s become the standard Hexbear username style of a reference to the most obscure communist you’ve never heard of or the weirdest pun ever (frequently both). Seeing names like AceTransCommunist is adorably not ironic.
I get why they’re doing it because they’re used to sites like Twitter and Bluesky but tbh it is a little jarring seeing them posting their other socials in their bios and stuff. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but I go out of my way to make sure nobody can easily link me to anywhere else.
I’m replying to Bureaucrat, the shared account, the most opsec option for posting here even, so…I would like maybe a sticky about the fact that we’re pretty anonymous. The opsec rules are there for a reason and although I’m personally okay with letting a decent amount of myself be known, I’ve been here forever and I can say for certain my file as it existed prior to hexbear is thicc enough that a message board means nothing to me, but a general guide maybe should.get a sticky. I’m not writing it but someone should.
I think it was mentioned but not strongly conveyed “hey you should probably not use the same name you used on twitter and bluesky” at least for their own safety. I don’t want to scare anyone off either by saying “this site is a red mark” because it’s not like posting on 4chan or something but if you wouldn’t tell your boss you’re a communist (as an example), you probably shouldn’t use your real name here either. So a sticky/explainer is probably a good idea.
I would never have a username that is a pun and related to a dead communist
I can never start a new account cause I nabbed this sweet username real early (tho it’s actually my 2nd account, first I just had for year one of hexbear and then my phone broke and I didn’t remember my password)
Mine was a reference to the bureaucrat bit.
Mark your calendar, when it’s our one year anniversary and we’re still not permabanned, we will no longer abide being referred to as ‘a bit’.
I always wanted to be someone. I guess I got my wish.
It’s weird how many of them have human names for usernames but they seem alright
Got a pal crashing on my couch rn and just was about to go to sleep myself and got up to pee first. He cleaned toilet at some point. Like, the inside, with a brush. It needed a clean before he was here and doesn’t now. It wasn’t awful or anything but it’s noticeably cleaned. The outside isn’t at all. Weird.
Maybe check his diet.
Dems should’ve tripled down on calling republicans weird lol
Ufo panics, and really any kind of mass panic, always upset me bc it’s never anything cool. Most of the time it’s airplanes, and the rest of the time it’s venus.
I saw a post on twitter that was like “I’ve never seen a drone like this before” and it was maybe the clearest possible video you could have of a plane on approach. Like you could make out the individual lights and stuff.
It’s a perfect distraction. Luigi who?
Mama mia
before the videos came out it was kind of fun, now it’s fun because it’s a new reason to make fun of new jersey. i have a feeling someone’s going to get shot though
