Nothing gets me more 'oh great commie forefathers we have failed you' than seeing old soviet propaganda about uplifting and empowering women. I geniuenly believe we still need that to this day and absolutely loathe the placification of feminism under liberal ideologies

the fentanyl fairy, but only if you've been a good boy throughout the year

they're cool hacker guys who exist outside of hegemonic ideology. they're after the big guys, real cyber robin hood types. so anyway that's why they wanted to bully poorer nation :)

dudes bragging like the DoD are so impressed and 'want to know how he did it,' mf I'm sure if the US wanted to they could bully their internet as well, probably a good reason they didn't want to though

they made zelda woke 😞

literal ghoulish depictions of the image of man dreamed up by the soulless

i hate thumbnails. i hate search engine optimization. i hate algorithms. i miss feeling like people on the internet were ever at all genuine

anarchism is a handy tool for radicalization. lots of people get attracted to the cool aesthetics of anarchism and that feeling of intellectual superiority you get when you can recite some obscure untested and unfounded political theory

so it's ineffective outside of the individual's ego but it does position them firmly against capital and modern statehood. if you sit in that long enough you start to build genuine hatred for the status quo. genuine hatred leads to genuine curiosity which leads to actually reading theory and uncovering the utterly absurd idealism of anarchist theory

this isn't like a codified pipeline and anarchist theory still poisons the well of a lot of western leftist discussion, but most commies I know in real life had personal brushes with anarchism in their past. and if all else fails they're still useful idiots when things get spicy. that whole 'you're alright now, it's after the revolution we'll have problems' meme.

yeah tankies have fun with your revolutionary larping LOL you have NO Idea how the world works!!

anyway don't you guys think russia will split into a dozen different states after a post-putin revolution? maybe even china would get involved hey anyone wanna play HOI4?

is this praxis?

it's not your fault that sort of crushing labor is poisonous to your soul. we're all a product of our material conditions and yours are different to others.

i struggled a lot with work myself, feeling useless for most of my life because i couldn't enjoy or even tolerate most types of labor that were available to me. there was no easy solution for me but it's not an impossible situation to escape.

the support you're going to get from your comrades on grad won't be as helpful as support you can get from your co-workers or other people immediate in your life. when I worked a factory, we had union reps visiting throughout the week. even just talking to those guys made me feel sane, though the trade union situation in my local area meant they weren't effective help, they were firm commies (that just couldn't say so in as many words.)

i used to be addicted to pop culture and to an extent probably still am

no one got through to me by curbing my pop culture addiction. i needed the gnawing, numb emptiness inside of me to grow beyond the joy a rebooted IP gave me. only then did i start caring about actually important shit

our universities are full of WOKE CULTURAL MARXISTS who want to OVERTHROW AMERICA, and that's why petulant whining about minor protests groups get absolutely raked over the coals at every university you can imagine!

Haha, that's good stuff. I guess selling horribly overpriced bears to parents isn't a sustainable model, so gag gifts are the next best thing.

Yes, your Build-a-Bear™ Zaddy© shirt makes me want to change my bear into it's You Turn Me On© shirt.

my time working in a factory was similarly crushing, though, i always believed that if the job had paid well enough and considered me as a person and not a number on the floor, i would prefer manual labor over the mindless white collar shit i'm doing now. but we'll never be in a position where labor workers are compensated entirely for the body and soul crushing work they're expected to do, so i'll never be in a factory again.

hopefully, anyway.

This is a really neat video idea, actually, and it's throwing me for a loop that a time period I remember very well (post new vegas release, grabbing all the early mods) is now presented as sort of a lost history with enough content someone can produce a video on it.

shit like this reminds me of before i was accepted for a line of credit, when financing a grocery store gift card to pay off over 4 weeks was the best way for me to keep the house supplied

This is so good, and if you did it, they'd probably complain about it on the local community facebook page about the hatred they're receiving.

It's ok, those signs are actually flags for burglars. You can morally break into and rob that house. Cool, huh?

This is the most haunting thing anyone has ever said to me on this website.

I think there's something to be said about raising kids in a Marxist environment, though. Even if they grow up and have a fundamental disinterest in that sort of thing, you've normalized Marxist thought and maybe even warded off some brainwashing from capital. That's a powerful thing, making even one to three new people who believe Marxism to be normal and logical in the west.

this is my prolesona
