"Political violence is bad actually"

Last words of the SPD before getting overrun by the Nazis, circa 1933 (they could've prevented this by allying with the KPD)

The West at this point is doing everything they claim the DPRK is doing.

Play with fire and you'll get burned, as the saying goes. The US seems to not understand that.

Happy Birthday, Comrade! Now you shall eat your compulsory Birthday Grain!

I have an allergy to shrimp, and I am probably also allergic to other crustaceans so I avoid eating those as well.

He was thirsty, so he attacked them with a comically large straw.

i hope a certified psychologist appers in here to explain better, my reading in the subject is quite low ans i don’t know how to walk the line to criticize modern midia without looking like reactionary talk.

I am not a psychologist, but Reactionaries only attack the technology itself and falsely claim that the progress of technology by itself is the problem, failing to (or even refusing to) realize Capitalism is to blame for the problems associated with technology. The real problem is how Capitalism affects the current technology; Capitalists seek profit over everything else, so they will use technology to do exactly that.

Technology has so much potential to bring a better future, but it is held back and used inappropriately under Capitalism.

I went through online learning back in 2020 until early 2022 (Although this was probably justified due to the pandemic) and I can confirm that the lack of irl interaction (Combined with being overworked with constant online activities, where I had to work even during weekends to submit them on time) during online learning is what caused me so many problems and is what made me realize how shitty the status quo is, and that eventually radicalized me into becoming a ML, even if there were some bumps on the road. (although I overcame them by reading more theory)

While I still hold a personal grudge against the internet and (mainstream) social media, and have a desire to keep usage of it to a minimum, I agree that the technology itself isn't the problem. It is how it is used under Capitalism which is the problem. The internet has so much potential to connect and unite people for the better, but under Capitalism it isolates and alienates people. The internet could have been (and still could be) a great place to express human creativity and solidarity, but Capitalism has turned it into yet another place for consumerism and profit for the sake of profit, not to mention how corporations gather your online data and sell it.

De-escalation should always be top priority. If you cannot de-escalate, try to run away. If you cannot run away, try to delay the threat and call for help. If you cannot do those either, that is when you fight. (Fighting should only be a last resort.)

There is nothing shameful about avoiding conflict if possible. (Before anyone asks, no, this does not contradict our support for revolution. The Bourgeoisie are historically proven to use violence to suppress the Proletariat. This conflict cannot be de-escalated because class conflict is already ongoing, and the Bourgeoisie will always exploit the Proletariat for profit. The Proletariat cannot simply run away because the Capitalist system is so intertwined in the current society. And Bourgeois threats cannot be delayed because they're already ongoing. Hence, Revolution and the establishment of the DoTP, being the Proletariat's self defense, is the only solution against the Bourgeoisie.)

Also, about your imagined scenario, if the apocalypse does arrive and we somehow survive through it, fighting would only be the least of our worries. We would still need resources for food, water, and shelter, as well as other tools and equipment to ensure we don't just die from illness or from a hostile environment. In a post-apocalyptic scenario, disease and starvation would likely be a way more likely cause of death than getting killed by another person.

I also didn't need applying to join. (I joined roughly a year and a half ago when the GZD sub was promoting it)

IIRC the approval requirements were implemented because of the mass brigades that happened here some time ago.

I keep a very tight hold on what views are shared there, selectively discarding anything that goes too conservative. These tubers are not incels or MGTOW, but closer to a mix of redpill/blackpill, mostly hovering around centre or centre-right

Even if you try your best to keep yourself from having views which you consider too far right, as the political overton window shifts more to the right, what ideas do you truly consider to be "centrist" or "centre-right" and not just right wing (if not far right) ideas which have recently become acceptable in mainstream/liberal media?

Also, usage of the terms "redpill" and "blackpill" in these contexts was popularized by the MGTOW (and Anti-SJW) movement. (I was once part of those circles back in 2014 even if I was still very young back then. Once you're in there, it's not very easy to get out; You need a lot of self-reflection to truly escape it. In fact, while my old views were largely toned down over the years by a supportive community back when I was in Junior High School, it took an entire pandemic to get me to reflect and escape, and I was still at risk of returning to some more dangerous views before I finally got into Marxism.)

Self-reflection is not an easy thing, and hopefully it shouldn't be too late for you.

Historical arms & armor Youtubers such as Skallagrim, Metatron, etc.

Tons of information regarding historical weapons & armor (with the occasional spotlight for more obscure types of stuff) but generally attracts a pretty reactionary community. (My guess as to why this kind of stuff attract reactionaries is probably because most of them tend to fetishize traditions & ye olde days rather than critically analyze them out of genuine interest. For instance, the Middle Ages are particularly interesting to me (especially the combat related stuff) but I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in those times.)
