Told myself I wouldn’t smoke until I got a job. It is a struggle

Fall of Civilizations - long narrative based historical episodes regarding civilizational collapse. One of my favorites by far

The Deprogram - 3 lads from vastly different countries yapping about socialism, imperialism, and world events with a relatively casual tone. They are silly guys and I like them.

Blowback - long-form narrative retellings of various US imperial crimes. Each season is a different country.

The Magnus Archives - my beloved. A horror/mystery audio drama that deserves an essay to describe it. This is my favorite work of fiction. I don’t even know where to start just try it please

I take a tram to the park and read books. Depending on whats getting me down its either theory or fantasy. I also curl up with kitty sometimes

You’d be correct. He is doing a good thing and I didn’t mean to come off as critical if I did.

I am unemployed actually but yeah 😔

He is wants to introduce state ran grocery stores with lower prices than chain stores, freeze rents for some people, and give people free childcare. So like basic human empathy stuff. Its still treating the symptoms of capitalism but its treating them as directly and effectively as possible. His platform isn’t that radical, but any concessions to the working class that doesn’t make someone a buck will always be faced with hard opposition by those who benefit from the status quo.

I’m gonna end up in a camp aren’t I

Anyone know if this has any connection to settler colonialism in Eelam? Is this caused by the influx of settlers or unrelated is what I mean.

I hope America does not exist after its fascist meltdown. I don’t want Americans to be ashamed of their American past, I want them to denounce the American project entirely. They must be forced to admit that it was horrible from start to finish. This is part of why denazification failed in Germany. We let them continue to exist and we did not destroy their imperial mythology.

I wish I was this bee so bad rn

Honestly I am not focused on revolution within the US at the moment. Before that is possible we will need revolutions in the imperial periphery that make our empire weak enough to tackle. I have not the slightest clue what it would take to be a revolutionary in the sense that Che was within the US and I don’t think its up to individuals to figure that out. Leaving it to the individual is begging for adventurism. Hell, Che would say America is not ready for an urban Guerrila movement yet anyway. He’d say too many people still trust the electoral system and he’d be damn right. America does not yet have a revolutionary vanguard party so I wouldn’t say anyone is close to being revolutionaries yet. PSL shows promise but they are limited by essentially just being a protest org right now. They also do some education and work with some labor unions but it isn’t all there imo.

More sustainable? Yes China. Actually sustainable, no not yet. There could be low production agrarian societies idk about that have a sustainable model but I am referring to industrial nations here

The joke is that they all blame eachother instead of the structure of capitalist production

Guevara easily. Kaczynski recognized many issues with the world but blamed it on technological progress rather than the system driving that technological progress and then used it as an excuse to murder people. He wasn’t even very good at the murdering and mostly killed people he did not intend to. Luigi is ideologically confused but iconic for his (alleged) propaganda of the deed. I like him but he isn’t an influence on me. Guevara helped lead a successful revolution that vastly improved the lives of the vast majority of cubans forever. He has contributed to an incalculable good for hundreds of thousands of people. He then became a leftist icon and integral part of so many guerilla movements that were so threatening that the US contracted help from a former nazi to find and kill him. They then attempted to hide is corpse in an unmarked grave in the jungle. It’s not a hard choice. Thats not even mentioning his valuable humanitarian work outside of Cuba and his work within the Cuban government as treasurer.

Death to America does not mean death to Americans and the Iranian people know this. They are much kinder to us than we often are to them.

Source: I know Iranians and have taken multiple courses on modern middle eastern history and politics. I am not expert but I know this much.

Its always the same formula

I also cried when I first learned this 🫂

The United states values freedom above all else and intervenes in foreign lands to make people more free.

Racism is an individualist and idealogical issue caused by ignorance rather than a systemic problem maintained and incentivized by the structure of production

A Fatwa is just a legal ruling through Islamic law (the major form of law in Iran) by a qualified religious scholar (a mufti). Basically they officially recognized Trump and Netanyahu as the enemy and like, no shit, they bombed them. This feels alarmist and as if it is playing on islamaphobic ignorance. We declare people enemies of the state all the time but thats not “inciting terrorism”

Strangers, especially ones who try to pick her up like a dumbass
