    Back when I would occasionally go to family reunion type things for holiday's, there would be at least one outing to some fast food restaurant while the "big" meal was being prepared and monopolizing the kitchen.

    There would be at least one photo taken by a family member that looked like this.

    Not everybody is a debate bro. That's okay.

    Not everybody comes to the conclusion that being a communist or socialist or humanist or antifascist through rigorous theory reading and debate. It can be okay to take these things on faith alone if that's all you've got right now.

    Learning theory and reading/watching debates can be good for hardening your position against potential self doubt. Learning theory can be good in showing you that "Nope, nothing that I'm thinking or feeling is new. I'm not alone. Here's what others that came before me learned and have passed down as an act of solidarity with a future that they will never see." But it can be difficult to get started, keep up with it, or retain what the lessons were. And there's nothing wrong with that.

    Shit, I've spent the last two weeks trying to read Marx's, Capital - Volume 1. Wanna know how far I am?

    Page 39.

    And the actual text doesn't start until page 27 of the copy I'm reading.

    You're fine comrade. We're all libs here. solidarity







  • Can't remember where I read/heard it said recently, something along the lines of, "Undecided voters just want to feel like they are the most important person in the room. They know nothing about the situation but still want to speak at length about it so long as people around them are watching and nodding politely."
