critical support for Israel in their war against Israelis
GOOD struggle session
Soybeans best beans. Fight me
This is why I like multi pens. No need to choose.
Leaving urban areas is not a reasonable prerequisite to raising children.
Sure your personal space is yours to define, my concern is with how society perceives shared spaces. And for those shared spaces there’s already an expectation (especially from comrades) of things like public safety, consideration for differently abled people, elderly persons. We should not limit those considerations away from the expectation children will be there and have their own unique needs, including social understanding for their lack of ability to fully self regulate , and that we can pay into a community that accepts and shares that cost same as we would encourage community to share and accept all sorts of other social costs.
It is very weird how is alienated from children. Most adults don’t interact with or even see children regularly unless they have children or work in child care. It’s really sad how such a fundamental part of existence is so cordoned off both for the children not being able to see and be part of their whole world and for the adults missing out on the sense of community and humanity that comes from dealing with both the good and the bad about children. The system behind this dehumanized structure is obviously capitalism. I’d encourage any comrades to let go of any unnecessary boundaries between adult and child spaces and embrace more humanity.
I hate good morning posts. I just hate myself even more. Upbear.
You just resurfaced a horrible memory of being an awkward lit nerd who wanted to fit in but also did a lot of reading alone. I was dunked on so relentlessly first year of college when trying to discuss “Go-eth”.
Fuck you other lit undergrads from my class. Wherever you are. Hope you all stub a toe.
Like LGB, hr needs the T
In order to truly be a Barbie girl, one must exist in a Barbie world. That is to say it is necessary that you will be in a Barbie world in order to be a Barbie girl , but it is sufficient to say that if you are a Barbie girl you are in a Barbie world. I am confident of the existence of one or more Barbie girls, which means we must exist in a Barbie world. Now, am I one of said Barbie girls? No, and knowing that I am not one, but exist in their world, that knowledge frightens me.
Dumbass take, feel free to disregard:
Shitposting. Maybe never stop being a chud, just start being chuddy toward the right groups?
I had a lot of anger at the world and could only see it through a myopic lens. Lib opinions felt light gaslighting, telling you that everything is good actually and that you should just shut up and learn to love the system. Seeing chapo shitposting felt so fucking validating. Seeing libs called out not just for being some reactionary slur but actually dressed down for their poorly formed opinions on very obviously unjust systems. Thanks to shitposting on libs I was able to be opened to the idea that it is not wrong to be angry at the hierarchies I see around me, but instead to realize what processes and structures actually control those hierarchies. Its capitalism.
Similarly, being mad about "woke culture", "diversity quotas" may be able to be channeled into an idea that it is unjust for some group to have say on who gets to do what, and who even gets to define those groups? Its probably not even members of those supposed groups making up those quotas, but some who is using it to boost revenue. You can cite black thinkers who agree that fighting capitalism is best done with solidarity across working people.
In short, allow them to be angry, help lift the veil as to what is actually making them angry. Its capitalism.
On the topic of the Amerikan revolution. I stated that the revolution was a bourgeoise revolution that did not actually benefit the majority of people. This of course triggered the liberal into arguing Amerika is good actually. I asked, how did the revolution benefit enslaved people? They insisted that being enslaved actually helped those people, and that, had they been emancipated when Amerika revolted it would have caused mass famines and more death and suffering than the enslavement itself caused. They told me they could prove this with, and I quote: "spreadsheets, baby!"
