my favourite rendition of The Internationale! seeing the purges and massacres of the communists that brought the CPC to the brink (i think?) contrasted by the red flag and The Internationale gives me goosebumps every time
oh and i somewhat know the lyrics bc i've listened to it so many times lol

death to the EPF
woah congrats!!
see my reply to @mayo_cider (and my post edit)
also thanks for the insults
i edited the post to clarify the nature of these interactions (TLDR: further escalation is highly unlikely but maybe avoid making it sound like an insult)
honestly i don't want to directly say that i'm not afraid to escalate (otherwise i would've used English insults) but i still want to say something without them ending the exchange as if they were able to say what they said/do what they did with no consequences.
usually i just stay quiet and ignore them, but i know that i shouldn't be afraid to talk back and that not talking back usually enables them to do it again (if we pass by on a regular basis)
basically i want to end the exchange with something they could take as an insult but will never know the nature of to confuse/slightly irritate them that they aren't able to properly take offence with it i guess

"teu cu" seems fine for me and doesn't sound insulting in English too, so thanks!
thanks! "christer" sounds good. looked at the Wikipedia and "toton", "torrieu" and "marde" sounded cool too
is there really a whole system to Quebecois insults? didn't think there were different levels to it too lol
it's crazy to think this is an actual picture taken at an actual location

Morehouse College professors protested US complicity in Congo Genocide by unfurling a Congolese flag behind Joe Biden as he addressed the 2024 graduating class. A brief, quixotic coup took place in Congo on the same day.
