o7 comrade, you're doing your best and will get through all of it in the end
:headpat: sounds like a rough time. Take the moments u can to collect yourself, you've got this.
AoC isn't even a social democrat. most of the Labour party even under Starmer are absolutely to the left of her. in America anybody who wants an actual government that does things other than military and police is a 'socialist'
I'm never first because I spend my time reading the megathread text a fine comrade has put time and effort into :very-smart:
that's still time and effort you put into educating your comrades
Wow today sucks!
We can't find a place to rent, I have to hang out with my "supportive" (transphobic) dad, it's testosterone injection day and I have none because mine all leaked out of the vial and the pharmacy won't have more until Monday, and I haven't seen my partner or cat in like 5 days and I miss them so much!!
But at least my mom's brainworms are hilarious. She told me today that Trump and Biden could do the same exact thing (in this case supporting the dead Haitian president) and it's a bad thing when Trump does it but a good thing when Biden does it. :agony-yehaw:
Blue MAGA is a serious fucking trip
Wishing you well, comrade :trans-heart:
A 20yr old business student just tried to explain me that capitalism is when you have banks and money, therefore everyone is a capitalist and an iphone is a "means of production" because you can make money on Instagram. I am generally willing to discuss and indulge anything... But Jesus Christ. :marx-joker: :zizek:
your hands are actually means of production because you can use them to make and write things. check mate commies :shapiro-gavel:
seizing the means of production, or as I like to call it, holding hands
Yes as we all know by moving your hands in arcane motions, saying an incantation, and following the alchemical formulae, you transubstantiate your life-essence into cold, hard cash. Not even touching the other weird shit that guy said, but thinking that the end process of all production is money is THE example of alienation.
And where is that money comes from? No one likes to discuss advertising somehow :soviet-hmm: just money raining from the skies
Thinking about how there was this narrative immediately after 9/11 that irony was dead, no longer possible after the world-historical tragedy. Fully grown p.eople discussed this very seriously.
I was making 9/11 jokes within a week. People were not on board.
The hulk hogan did 9/11 pics were posted on 9/12. Jokes will always be made.
It really speaks to the average American’s isolation from the worst kinds of human suffering
if I could only drink one liquid for the rest of my life? have to be a cool crisp glass of cold water
Drinking a big cup of molasses rn
just chuggin it like I finished a marathon
that's up to you king, but I don't think it's a good idea
throwaway account: i am an enlisted member of a nato aligned military, recent sexual assault allegations and leadership misconduct scandals and coupled with covid-19, have exhausted most of the working members at the base i am stationed at. discussions of unionization, criticizing policy makers and high ranking officers in public has become a common occurrence. on a zoom call with a 100 or so troops, a handful of them just berated the senior officer of our division about handling sexual misconduct allegations and recent media stories of racial/homophobic/transphobic hatred. rumour has it that is not just the base i am stationed at
people are becoming outspoken about their political beliefs, both on the left and right. one person once said in a mess hall [content warning transphobia]
spoiler
that trans people where freaks of nature
and he was berated, openly, despite being a senior non comissioned officer in a room of very junior members
i am on my way out, during the pandemic i was radicalized sharply left and put in paperwork to quit, but was held to finish the terms of my contract (2 years) because recruiting is shit. there is a big culture change and its being embraced by the new generation of troops, traditional army and military values are being upended at the lowest level, if leadership was smart they would try to embrace it and direct it in some neoliberal ghoulish way, but instead they just resist it which means the longer this shit continues to fester, the bigger the bubble will be when it bursts
it seems like it is not just my country, but others are also going through the same turbulence, although i cant say for certain since all i have access too is that specific countries news
I’m going to meet Briahna Joy Gray. What questions should I ask her?
You ever get so thirsty you start looking at pictures of bodies of water like :crush:
I see you eyeballing that cold glass of ice water, dripping condensation, droplets playfully rolling down the side, all naughty like.
Where you going with that?
