I like the make video games
Stay strong comrade. It’s not your fault for falling back into it. Everyone still loves and supports you. Work hard to restrain yourself!! I have also been going through some stressful times and I don’t really have anything to ease the pain. It sucks, but at least there are little things I can still do; like video games, eating, etc. It doesn’t feel like much but it’s the only shelter I have from this harsh world. I hope good things come your way comrade.
I love all of you
That sounds like a good idea, good luck friend
Revival of USSR. Having china + USSR would be amazing… Also the US is already in decline so that choice is gonna happen anyways sooner or later
Hey comrade you’re my state neighbor! (I’m from Virginia) I’ve also had issues talking in political settings. Mainly this group that one of my friends made. It’s online but has a dozen or so people from where I live. Most of the people are completely politically ignorant but some are soc dems. I try linking to videos I think would help open their eyes a little bit (second thought mostly), and sometimes I do try writing paragraphs and having discussions but usually it’s shut down by people just saying I’m wrong. With no real reason. And I feel like it’s a certain type of person that thinks they know the most in the room. I think to have a constructive or personal talk about politics you really have to find a person that you can trust/ has a certain type of personality.
I think a lot of people don’t realize that the problems capitalism causes are because of capitalism; they attribute it to something different to shift the blame. Ex: “big government did war” “this single individual is corrupt” “this corp. Is evil because they chose to be”
From my experience talking to people they just don’t take the extra step to realize why things happen. I’ve never actually talked to someone that doesn’t get squid game (although I’ve only talked to one person about it total lol) but if I had to guess they’d either attribute the issues the characters face to being the fault of ‘the capitalist system not being implemented correctly’, blaming the characters for their issues, or just they’re just dumb and don’t try to get a deeper meaning from stories (nothing wrong with just enjoying entertainment imo).
This also reminds of the one article: “the creator of squid game said it’s about capitalism, but really it’s more like communism”
I often eat ingredients I shouldn’t :')
That’s an interesting exercise, Im definitely gonna try that too. Good luck to you comrade and take care of yourself
I usually get recommended then after I’ve listened to some on Spotify. You could start with “Rev Left” and “The Deprogram”, both of those are very good
Can someone briefly explain what patsocs are I’m so confused
It’s rough having people close to you think like that :/ keep loving them though, you can get through it 💜
Yeah I’ve read some other comments and realized that maybe enacting rights that don’t materially change people’s lives aren’t as important to enact straight away. Especially if there is still a large reactionary force it’d probably be better to educate them before provoking them. I think it’s extremely important to protect gay/trans rights, but marriage in particular (and maybe some other things) that don’t make people’s lives all too much better could wait until socialism is more stable. I’m open to changing my mind though if someone has a counterpoint.
No no, I’m saying same sex marriage is an important right and there is no reason not to have it immediately.
Civil liberties that don’t risk the stability of socialism should definitely be first priority imo.
I’ve been called a tankie but that’s about it
I do love grass
I’d say hugs too, something about being close to someone, being compressed, and squeezing back is so relaxing and comforting. It’s like you acknowledge one another and communicate that you are there in that moment only for each other, nothing else is going on.
I like to volunteer at a good pantry every weekend I can. I’m still a minor so I feel like I can’t do much more than that. I do post a lot of stuff on Instagram and I like to think that some of my classmates think about it
Hugs, they just give so much more then pats
