No not yet :(
How on earth could a person be offended by someone being asexual lol
Major strike coming up this Thursday which I will join. Together with the other tankies at work we managed to convince the entire department to join us ✊🏼
I saw an ice cream brand called Oppo the other day
I'd seriously consider mopping the table with his dusty ass hair
Create decades worth of inequality among migrants, causing them to live in poverty 9 times out of 10
Have one of the biggest ports in Europe in your country
Do absolutely nothing about said inequality
Have your population do copious amounts of drugs themselves
Be mad at migrants when eventually crime explodes
There have been shootings from AK wielding dudes over here for four days in a row now and the only thing people talk about in this situation is the color of their skin. Not drugs. Not poverty resulting in crime. Nope.
I actually had something like this happen with my gf when I first started organising. I was super passionate about being a communist and I was constantly mad about things that happened around me and in the world. My gf got mad at me because ´communism won´t fix things, it´s scary!!!!!' and she felt sort of intimidated to talk to me about politics because she just wasn't as involved as I was. At first I was mad too but eventually I figured I had to do something to change this argument between us. Because I still liked her very much as a person and I wanted to be with her.
I just started focussing on party work and wanted to lead by example. Communism is still a scary ideolog for many and many people are still brainwashed by decades of propaganda. But it is hard to see the bad sides if you and your party actually achieve postive things. Maintaining a bus line in your city is not scary. Making sure a local park isn't taken over by some private owner who wants to make a rich people's resort of it is not scary.
Eventually by doing all this stuff she saw what exactly I was trying to fight for and she turned around. She even goes to party stuff with me now sometimes.
My point is: I think a lot of communists sometimes have this aura of 'I know how things work so if you just listen to me and let me explain it, then maybe you'll understand too' which is no different from the smug liberals we criticize. We are at a disadvantage after decades of anti communist propaganda and we need to be aware that convincing people of communism sometimes takes a very gentle and time consuming approach, and being mad at these people isn't helping.
In the gym, headphones on, playing Irish rebel songs 💪🏼
Your last part reminds me of my childhood friend where my group of friends and I used to high out at in high school. He lives in a ridiculously large villa in a post neighborhood. We were outside playing some soccer and we had the cops called on us lol. Someone reported a disturbance in the neighbourhood.
I tell you what, the cops never showed up when dealers and crack heads terrorized my hood lol.
Be outside. It is good for you and your family.
There's this Dutch internet marxist called Left Laser who visited a podcast made by some douchy right wing news outlet and he got ambushed about October 7th but still managed to come out on top. He's now doing a reaction type of stream on youtube about it.
Sometimes leftist activism feels so terminally online lol. Like, I always imagine myself trying to show it to my dad who has been working in a warehouse for 30 years and I just know he wouldn't even care about it in the slightest. Like how are obscure internet beefs going to build class consciousness.
Our party leader gave a webinar today about the new government's plans and what they will mean for the population. I thought it was very informative and I admired how he gave it himself. Imagine Joe fucking Biden giving a webinar to Democrat members himself. On a Tuesday evening.
The new government has been formed and the plans are coming out slowly. The unions have already called for a big general strike soon, so fun times ahead.
The year has started off both good and bad. Family tragedy happened and my mental health seems to have taken a hit. At the same time I'm staying really disciplined when it comes to my workout regime. I am also nearing half a year sober. At least for the last few days the sun has been out instead of the constant grey sky that has been here for months.
Lemmygrad admin here. I normally don't look at reports from other instances but for this I had to make an exception. Probably the dumbest shit I have read so far lmao.
