I tried to keep the communist language as low key as possible, but I was in a thread I made about what could convince a leftist to vote for Biden, because I'm hearing some reasonable arguments from people I trust and respect. A progressive friend of mine (who's more left than like say, a Hillary supporter, but not any type of leftist) made some valid arguments about centrism and having to "play it safe" that I won't get into.

I've been dealing with a relatively severe manic episode the past few days, and I just let out a multiparagraph tirade about, "I understand wanting to appear moderate, but I'm fed up with capitalism, liberalism, and people being reactionary fucks. I wish we were already at the point where we could see that the whole Liberal-Conservative sham is what's keeping us sick, poor, and two paychecks away from homelessness." I didn't say anything about the USSR or Castro, but I also implied class struggle and how that should be our goal.

Eh, a pretty active thread with like 10 commenters haven't interacted in like an hour and a half, I hope I didn't completely alienate the rest of the people in my life, lol.

    I think I'm gonna take a break from all online stuff for a few days. My brain's been kind of melting the past couple weeks and I need to go for a walk or something.

        Thank you, comrade. I was commenting back and forth with a cute radical ML girl in a FB group earlier, and she was ripped and had photos of her training in the woods and shit. How cool would it be to get in the best shape of your life and learn some basic maneuvering and hand to hand stuff.

      I need to go for a walk or something.

      I wanted to keep making sims jokes in this chain, but being serious - do this.
      Get out into nature somewhere, whether out of town or just a local park. Enjoy the sun, the breeze, being surrounded by plants. Vibe on the quiet and bird noises and shit, it's refreshing

        I'm going to commit to that this week. There's a nature trail a couple miles from my house with enough twists and turns to get lost in if you're not paying attention. I went once last month and it was fun until it got dark lol. Nah it was still fun then.
