This year seems to shape up to be especially annoying with “post”-Covid and the Ukrainian War going on. I’m already prepared to be called Putin’s friend for not being completely happy with my meagre saving dwindling as I live well below the poverty line or being called an Anti-Vaxxer for being critical of the pharmaceutical industry for effectively withholding vaccines from poor (brown) people. Oh wait, the last one happened last year, nvm.

    I'm going to dinner with my lib housemate. She's a gem and is paying for dinner (a christmas buffet thing), but holy shit is she deep in the NATO-esque foreign policy brain. Just whole-hoggedly swallows Western propaganda, and has recently decided that being against "dictatorships" is her thing now.

      I mean you can try to tip that energy into full ancomism and see if she can recognize all states as inherently oppressive

      At least then she'd maybe start reading some theory, that's kinda how it worked for me

        Not sure if I have the energy to do that, especially with her mum there. Some other time, maybe.

          Lol the thought of you propagandizing her mom as well is cracking me up, but yeah that's not the time
