Or does he just have some hot/weird takes that got him in trouble?
Someone on Reddit told me he (Rovics) thinks Matthew Heimbach has reformed, for instance. Reading Heimbach's Wikipedia page he still sounds like a massive Nazbol to me (emphasis on the Naz)
I struggle to believe Rovics could make a mistake like that. I've listened to all his music, never seen him miss in a song that I can think of. Also talked to him prior to learning this and he seems cool to me
I'm suspended on Reddit for 3 days. That's why I'm asking here for now. Most charitable thing might be to ask Rovics to explain himself, but I'd have to make a Twitter account again
I'll think about it for 5 years before recommending anything to the Nazbol unless he demonstrates extraordinary capacity. Haz maybe a year
But yeah (sorry for the Gonzaloid, psycho talking point) you're right. People are fucking disposable. Comrades are disposable, you and I are disposable.Better than us are born every day. And so why use ex-fash? They're damaged use-commodities maybe
I talked to a 17 year old Lebanese-Australian communist on R*ddit. You'll see her on the news some day if she doesn't get dragged under by bourgeois shit or drugs or bad academia.
Don't tell her the news comment. She'll hear it at uni. ATAR rankings make Australian students wankers often enough.
I'm conflicted about the Australian education system. French system too for that matter.
Education systems in their entirety: French > Australian = US > UK .
I'll elaborate on this more and when I know enough to put Cuba >= France, etc. French system is GOAT for mathematicians but it also produced Macron, so
Personally I'd treat the two of them the same as they both are, in Marxist-Leninist terms, right-opportunists who's class loyalties are to be constantly under suspect regardless of whether or not they consistently perform in the interests of the working class as they have revealed their petite-bourgeoise thought-process and behaviors.
Whether or not they can be useful is a separate question related to whether or not they can willingly submit themselves to the interests of the party, willingly obey its party line, and willingly fight to fulfill the will of the party to their best possible ability regardless of whether or not they agree with it or not.
And don't think you should call your opinion gonzoloid or psycho as I think it's a valuable opinion from a very distinctly different point of view from my own. Also don't call yourself disposable. While it may be true that individuals may come and go it is their impact on the collective that survives them which immortalizes their work.
I'll say it again, you are not disposable. You're akin to a thread of colorful yarn being woven into the tapestry of humanity, one of countless billions that have existed or will exist. Your impact may be miniscule in the grand scheme of things but you still have an impact upon it, and should you choose to organize and work in a collective you become a strand in an unbreaking braid that can greatly impact the tapestry of humanity and alter its artistic direction. So please value yourself more comrade, know that I do.
This is a great post and thank you so much. Class analysis is the great mental work saver and not in a bad way. Sometimes I get distracted and forget this.
I am trying to look after my health better. I use prescription speed in what I see as moderation, nothing faster (Australia's favourite drug, + Hitler's favourite drug ffs).
I have a psychiatrist (prescriptions) and a psychologistt to talk to.
The latter is exceptionally good, Marx appreciator. Can tell the difference between anger/manchildishness and (hypo)mania/psychosis. Not everyone can, Libs will call the cops or get you sectioned for making them feel uncomfortable.: yelling opinions without an econ PhD, breaking things for fun, publicly being drunk/high
Psychiatrist is cool. Clever but hard to kow if good. From Sri Lanka initially, bodes well imo. Charges for appointments though. You don't have to in Australia. But all (stimulant prescribing) psychiatrists do, I'm told. She's probably a self-made multi-millionaire though. Maybe doesn't relate to Australian poverty and how abject it can be.Not an empathy deficiency so I don't know what her problem is
Semi-recreational speed posts (e.g. here today) are better than drunkposts (what I was doing on rsp). More serious but less funny
My psychiatrist is good because I fucked up with stimulants hard one. Full psychosis. She 1. didn't section me (I sectioned myself and regretted it) and 2. still prescribes me high dose dex
Nick Land is a cautionary tale against speeding. Erdos is ideally the way to do it, if at all. Erdos took therapeutic doses for depression I believe. Not sure. Modafinil is good imo. Doesn't shoot your blood pressure sky high like other stims
