I used to hate people. Then I started looking around at everyone else who says they hate people.
Now I like most people, and I imagine how much more I'd like people if we weren't all trapped in an economic cesspit that seeks out and exacerbates our worst impulses.
I do too, I just wish we were nicer, and feel like if people had their needs provided for it would be a great start to realizing that.
I want people I don't like to go home every day and eat a filling meal, get a good night's rest, and be happy about what they have to do tomorrow.
Dear Hexbears,
I hope you're all having a blessed week.
Or else. :hst-gun:
I want to sit in a room and chat constantly. Unfortunately, most of my friends have gotten full time jobs and have no free time
I want to love people, but people usually skew towards the right. How am I supposed to love people if humans naturally skew towards ideologies that involve murdering people for no reason?
False consciousness is a very real thing and it can be unbearable to be near. But it is false, all the hate and bigotry needs a huge machinery of propaganda and economic suppression to keep going. Once that machine stops for one reason or another, people revert to a more natural human mindset. The Ukraine war is a good example. The powers that be turned the racism machine off and suddenly people want to help refugees and empathise with their plight.
Communism is about stopping that machine for good and letting people think and act as humans full time.
With that being said, keep away from any mainstream politics. It's s fucking cesspool and you will gain nothing but psychic damage from engaging with it.
My love for people has been occluded by feelings of doom, and I realize that it is because I have felt little love for myself, and so have little to spread. I must make time to refresh my outlook with Mao and Tao, and talk to people outside.
“At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.” - Che Guevara
