you know what pisses me off? When I'm listening to a podcast or a youtuber and they're like "modern marxist theorists have to take into account these 9000 books while considering blah blah blah"
it's like, so do it. You're a friggin modern marxist theorist, I'm just a dumb guy with parasocial relationships. You're supposed to be telling me the theory, not making me figure out the theory myself. I can't read those 9000 books, I'm too stupid. Just tell me what to do so poor people stop dying so much.
Hold on, I need to try something... fire removedant.
Edit: This is fine. Fire removedant materials are counter-revolutionary.
Flame arresting.
Huh. Seems to work fine for me.
EDIT: self extinguishing. Fire protective. Incombustible. NFPA 704.1.0.
Reddit is awesome because literally everyone there hates their jobs, pointless consumption and consumerism, and "adulting". They love pointing out how difficult it is to get by in modern times and how relatively easy the boomers had it. 100% consensus.
Then when you mention just the possibility that an alternative to capitalism would be better, you get dogpiled for being a chapocel and don't you know gommunism killed 100 billion people and it means no food for anyone!!! Capitalism is the best system and there is literally no other option!
Seems to me that the fash attack consumerism largely on misogynistic ("Kardashians are BAD") lines or trying to tap into feelings of superiority (i.e. criticizing Marvel movies or Funko pops as things that appeal to "unthinking masses"). As opposed to a socialist critique which is more about contributing to an evil system, while also recognizing individual action is insignificant next to systematic change.
Sir! I have an uncle who’s forth grade teacher escaped communism and they said it’s very bad!
You, an uncivilized barbarian: clicking the arrow to upvote

Strugglin with the big sad these days, kinda feels pointless when the climate change feedback loops are already starting
If the point of being alive is to build a better world, what point is there when there's not gonna be a world
Really all i got right now is spite
When I’m feeling doomer I kind of rationalise and try to “hope” for a future where leftists can rebuild a better society in the ashes of this one after climate catastrophe. And with the current hegemonic power seemingly teetering on its last legs, maybe those ashes will come soon enough that we can even avoid the most catastrophic scenarios, even if things are fucked, and this planet will still be habitable for humanity and animals
I'm glad that's working for ya, meditation makes me feel physically ill, I dunno why
It doesn't make me ill, but it does absolutely nothing whatsoever for me no matter how many times or how many different ways I give it a go. Meditation, prayer, and all the other stuff where you're supposed to sit still and get something out of it just seemed like autosuggestion to me. I've had enough hallucinogens to know when my brain is off doing its own thing and that's all I've ever gotten out of any of it. Whether it's your Third Eye or some shade arbor revival where you catch the spirit and speak in tongues, all of it seems like fakir's business to me.
do this while high is amazing. also if you do a guided one it can be great too. different folks like different types :)
If you respond to a vaushpost on main with anything other than "post in the_dunk_tank" the same way you would say "post hog," you're a lib
How do you actually link to a community? I can never seem to make it work without pasting an actual full link
In America and Canada it takes courage to be openly communist but nazis walk around like they own the place
You can have cars with don't tread on me/blue lives/Confederate/literal swastika flags or stickers, but one BLM thing and your tires get slashed.
I don't know, I guess I'm ok. I'm not actively depressed, which is better than most of my life but I definitely haven't been doing great in the last year or so. Thanks for asking! How are you?
Thanks for the support! I think I'll be ok, this isn't my first rodeo. I've learned to stay on top of it.
Good luck with finding an apartment! I imagine that it must be even more stressful with all the stuff going on.

A lot of people note that libs are doing everything they can to direct any energy and diffuse any direct action towards voting... But is there anyone out there doing agitprop for direct action and to counter said libs? Why isn't there more agitprop?

In my continued trend of hornyposting cause I have nothing better to contribute, I am hereby introducing the SAB as a counter to the WAP. What is SAB? Swamp Ass Bussy ...
3D chess to stop leftists from hornyposting so they actually do praxis
- But all of the frontrunner candidates suck. Are you going to help me canvas for [local_socialist]?
Dunno how to move people all the way from "shut up and vote" to direct action, but at least you can show them that they don't actually have the will to change things within their own mental model of how things work.

Huh, I've been having issues with the auto-refresh de-focusing the textbox and detecting what I type lately. The mobile app seems to work alright, but I've had problems with it double and triple posting things sometimes.
I see a lot of people glorify Julius Caesar on here. Let me tell you why he is actually super problematic (1/77)
literally could not fathom such a thing. Could be because I'm ace but could also be years of continuous depression but it's like fine though
A bit disappointed that Jordan Peterson is too busy having coronavirus to comment on WAP
