Hollywood slop imo, i lost taste from American movies and tv a year ago and i can’t watch anything since, maybe i didn’t watch a movie for a little bit more than a year idk

drug abuse would overlap with looks-maxxing more than no fap, or no fap is just the intersection between look-maxxing and hustle culture

going through the same process but personally i never really felt the need to tell my parents, my mother cares about me keeping faith and is disappointed that i don’t practice prayers and such and i know what type of reaction i’d get.

But honestly i never cared to let her know. Her or anyone else i know, i’ve already experienced being cut-off because of my weak faith in the past, but it filtered out the pious people i don’t enjoy being around so the people around me already don’t mind it but that’s just me,

also all religions are like this, at least the abrahamic ones, i don’t think that’s what makes a reddit atheist (maybe)

Sorry if what i said was expressing anti blackness it wasn’t my goal and it doesn’t represent what I stand for, I’m totally ignorant about a minority that is totally foreign to me tho i try to learn about the struggle, i know it can never be enough, but you refuse to engage with the points I made, I really wish I can express myself more clearly that doesn’t read anti blackness for you, I didn’t come to this space to fight or argue so again I’m sorry

You did NOT say it briefly lmao

tho i share their opinion i think the videos doesn’t do a great service to the idea, especially when they misquoted the communist manifesto, but there’s some value to it

Sure

Idk if he called it a genocide, and a fourth of the video was looking into chinese sources i think

He was positively talking about Greta thunberg and Maureen galindo more recently,

imo I think we need someone like BE as an avant-garde to bully the rest of the imperial-core pseudo-left about their bs and push the discussion more and more left,

I don’t think every communist should be like that but somone has to yell at the libs in disguise

we need new ideas for Communist Theory

The context we are living in rn is kinda the same 100 years ago, nearly everything that is said in the political scene today was first articulated in Europe, What actually changed since was counter revolutionary**** tactics used by the bourgeoisie as it is way more experienced in anti communism, because the class dynamics didn’t change, proletariat are proletariat and bourgeois are bourgeois

It’s also simply that it collapsed and failed

It is way more complexed than that, there’s a lot of parameters into it, mainly it was the opening up of khrushchev that let the revolution rot, also it should be noted that the ussr was illegally dismantled,

Imo the ussr existed in a context yes a lot deaths happened (even though none can be proven to be intentional acts of tyranny) but in the same periods capitalism was creating way worse conditions and way worse deaths, black people in the usa were killed because they simply existed, european colonies were intentionally starving and killing indigenous populations, imperial wars and invasions and genocides are to this day committed by imperialist states,

Your conception of “power” fall right inside the liberal pov and fails to understand how the ussr actually works, and what class dictatorship is. If we call a socialist experiment “dictatorship of the proletariat” then anything else than that should be a dictatorship of another class, which is the bourgeoisie, so “power” falls in the hand of a class, not an individual,

Sorry if it sounds mean but your comments lack some maturity about the subjects, you still hold onto the that liberal logic the imperialists argue with, just read

from combat liberalism - mao zedong:

but liberalism rejects ideological struggle and stands for unprincipled peace, thus giving rise to a decadent, Philistine attitude and bringing about political degeneration in certain units and individuals in the Party and the revolutionary organizations. …
To let things drift if they do not affect one personally; to say as little as possible while knowing perfectly well what is wrong, to be worldly wise and play safe and seek only to avoid blame. This is a third type.

according to mao it sounds like a liberal tho ig idf signifier is not in a revolutionary organization

Him thinking people using the word “zionist” is an antisemitic dogwhistle made me raise a brow, and people said it was taken out of context but the whole clip still didn’t make me agree with him.

i think the clip was “zionism, jewish supremacy, insert nazi dog whistle here”, he’s explicitly saying that those terms or the usage of them is like nazi dogwhistle

does voting for kamala make you a liberal?

probably, i just thought that it should be used to talk about the left intellectual industry in the west represented by ppl like richard wolff or zizek, and not just random ppl with ultra leftists tendencies

Just throwing it out there: why not use xmpp? I heard it’s as convenient as matrix + is faster on the server

0 class analysis, 0 dialectical materialism, what a joke

Very informative thank you

My comment was removed? I did not express any bigotry that’s unfair

That’s fair ig
