I have a soda stream an every time I use it I set aside a dollar per pump for my Palestinian comrades
Edit. It was a gift. I didn’t buy it
To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism.
I just can't endanger what little social support network I have. I still try to educate them, but I'm too dependent on remaining on good terms to do so anything but carefully and lightly.
If I'm remembering right, what Lenin wrote about beating liberalism basically amounted to aspiring to being the best, most respected and most reliable among your fellow workers while also not being shy about being a Communist and standing up to the bourgeoisie classes and their administrators.
Pragmatically gaining and spending social capital to win people over to the movement if you can, or at least making liberals look like shit and thereby encouraging people to be socialists and communists instead. Aspiring to being someone that your fellow workers can look to for support, either emotional or material.
Are you saying you have also been given a soda stream by a lib relative?
No, I'm semi-seriously accusing myself of the first type of liberalism from Combat Liberalism lol.
I own an American flag which hasn't been burned yet.
it was revealed to me that exxon-valdez, apple, and raytheon stocks paid for my college education. I will graduate in May debt-free, and with money left over. I have no idea what to do with it, and I feel bad that it went to my college rather than something that matters.
education should be a right, don't feel bad only because it's a privilege in the present state of things.
if it makes you feel better, unless you bought those stocks from a stock offering, none of that money actually went to those companies.
i have a star wars funko pop
to my shame i did not ceremonially burn it in front of the 8 year old nephew who gave it to me
i flagellate myself nightly for my weakness
Radicalize that nephew. Be the uncle you wish you had when you were 8.
"wasn't it cool when Luke blew up the death star? you ever think about how stormtroopers are like space police, and the death star is like a police station in space?"
That's the spirit. When they're old enough, you can introduce them to star trek.
burning a funko pop in front of the kid? might as well hand him a copy of Revolt Against the Modern World
I remember in high school I used to just say whatever the teacher wanted to hear for my grades even if I didn't believe it. I had stellar grades but that didn't amount to anything.
Now working on self confidence and can disagree and have own values and I think it's going well. I know here I don't have much edge but offline I'm firm when it comes to arguing leftist issues. I don't back down or just go with the flow anymore.
Good for you. Don’t beat yourself up over shying away from disagreeing with the people who give you grades that are arbitrarily deterministic of the trajectory of your life...
Grades suck, tell my nephews they don't amount to much so don't fret if they don't do to well. I got great grades and look at me now 😅
Im black and I love to golf lol nothing like a couple of joints and some brews out on the course with the broskis
-Soulja
:(
Just make sure you fuck with the rich white assholes while you’re out there lol
Lmao we go to cheap county courses. Mostly normal people out there
-Soulja
Back when I used to golf, there were a few courses that were part of the county parks and I remember those being way more chill than the big private courses.
Even just being black on a golf course is probably making at least half of the club members blood boil.
Not country club crowd at all. If anything people are usually overly nice to me because I’m probably the only black guy they get to interact with lmao
-Soulja
gotta love the cringe response to someone saying they're black on here, "damn everyone must be extremely racist to you 100% of the time, tell me about all the racism you get in these scenarios I imagine"
Lol libs and leftists are the exact same with that in my experience
-Soulja
I don't think there's such a thing as a "liberal item"
But my mom has a peloton and it's a nice way to get a workout
You don’t think there’s such thing as a liberal item, yet you mention a peloton, the ultimate liberal item
Leather boots from before I was vegan :deeper-sadness:
Being vegan and not buying any other clothing or item made with the skin of a living being that was made to suffer its entire life, while doing my best to maintain these boots so I get the full use out of the suffering I demanded someone inflict.
The sodastream CEO is on record calling Israel an apartheid state and trying to hire Palestinian workers, no? I mean, all CEOs are labor exploiting jerks, but I still don't understand why sodastream is such a big target for people.

You’re ok. It’s better than the big structural Bailey tattoo I have
Hopefully you started before last year so you at least made some money off the Wall Street dweebs buying it en masse
