I said sympathetic respect.
Because of your age you’ll be given a lot more of it just because.
Young people only get condescending kind of sympathy for failures.

>>777995
That too. But more that older people are always given sympathy for their sadness while younger people are told to “keep on keeping on”

Saw a little kid get on the bus with a skateboard. He stood in the corner, leaned his skateboard against his legs, and reached into his pocket to pull out on of those small toy skateboards. Rad.

I did math and I have 6 months of frugal living before exhausting my entire savings. Which doesnt sound that bad you might say, however I need to keep at least 3 months worth of money otherwise I wont be able to move in case of need (which reduces my job opportunities), plus one month even if I get a job until I receive a paycheck, and lets add one more month for recruitment process until I actually start working. So I absolutely need to find something within a month, or we are entering the danger zone. Now I could get bottom of a barrel shit job, but those eat my entire free time and the working hours wont let me attend job interviews, and given my mental state, might actually kill me. On the bright side, relatively speaking, at least it motivates me try real hard to fix the situation.

>These concessions were only allowed to happen due to the USSR and other popular republics
A risible notion if you're vaguely familiar with the chronology of the welfare state.
Did Lloyd George create unemployment and old age pensions before ww1 in response to the USSR? Did the British Empire really fear a social revolution in New Zealand more acutely than in Britain itself? If not, why did New Zealand - the most middle class little country in existence - go for a welfare state before Britain did? Why did retrenchment of the welfare state begin in the 1970s and 1980s when the USSR still existed, often slowing down in the 1990s after the USSR collapsed. Why, indeed, did the bourgeoisie launch open class warfare in the same decades (restricting trade union activity etc) if the existence of the USSR was such a bulwark against such a move?

One of the worst tendencies of so-called communists is this facile attitude that every improvement that's ever come about must be attributed directly to their favorite dead states and every regression must be attributed to the passing of those states. Nothing in Marxist theory necessitates this childish mindset, it's entirely a vibes-based phenomenon.

>>777836
The Manifesto isn't toilet paper, come on, the first chapter outline their conception of history pretty well, and has some bangers, though it's not as good as the first chapter of the German Ideology, and Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. The other chapters of the Manifesto aren't as relevant today though.
Otherwise you are right, some knowledge of Capital is absolutely necessary (or at the very least Wage Labour and Capital) to really understand what Marx was getting at. I didn't read it in its entirety, but the first (value) and fourth chapters (M-C-M') are essential and completely changed the way I think about capitalism, so I think even only reading these two is fine.
The second chapter is good but somewhat outdated (money isn't a commodity anymore) and the third chapter…I honestly got filtered, it's a slog to go through and I didn't understand the point. I gave up somewhere during the next few chapters, one day I will pick it up again.

>>777854
  • Abolished the Soviets (workers' councils) that formed during the February Revolution.
  • Nipped in the bud the most ambitious avant-garde art movement worldwide and replaced it with kitsch "socialist realism" art after 1928.
  • Stalin purging all the Old Bolsheviks and killing good thinkers like Isaak Ilyich Rubin, while sparing opportunists
  • Brezhnev stopping the program of reduction of labour time (the goal was to reach a 32 hour workweek) started under Khrushchev, and making the economy stagnant, setting the stage for the future collapse
  • And perhaps but I'm not too familiar with this period, the War in Afghanistan, which precipitated the terminal decline of the USSR.

The USSR did some good things, but they did plenty of mistakes. Defending it blindly won't bring it back and won't help us understand what a new 21th century socialist movement should do in order to change the world for the better.

oh shit I remember thinking it will be fun to post here but I completely forgot

i had a dream where i started a new job. but they talked behind my back saying i was cringe like that haz guy on the internet. how tf did they hear about the ACP ?

I was out in the wilds and met a pheasant like bird but it was light blue and grey.

Tried cooking two dogs in the oven. Pulled one out early and took a bite out of its ear to test the doneness before realizing they were both still alive and beginning to stir. Quickly rescued the other one and felt mortified for a bit before waking up. Thankfully, they were fine, somehow

Browsing leftypol and reading Zizek while waiting for the girlfriend that I know I'll never have.
I'm happy about holidays because I actually have a longer break from all other people's chuddy bullshitting irl

>>778455
How did you spend the day?

>>778460
You are way too young to be giving up just yet. Try your best now so you wont end up like me.

>>778463
I think it looks nice in the picrel. Quite well-maintained. My room is like a schizo-explosion. Framed paintings that i did and band posters on the walls. Bed perpetually messy. A huge bookshelf with fiction, political theory and manga.

>>778465
That is not my room, that is a random picture of what I aspire to have. My room has no decoration whatsoever,, brown carpet covers the floor, furniture is a bed, a table, a nightstand, a shelf, a wardrobe and drying rack. Also the cardboard boxes where I keep my stuff, mostly just to make the shelves easier to clean, because then you just dust the top of the box. And of course I share the fucking apartment with roommates. I cant invite anyone here, I would die of shame if anyone saw how I live.
Room you describe seems nice. Lived in, with personality.

>>778467
thank you <3
don't give up on getting to your dream apartment btw



 

Do you believe that organic internet communities even exist? I think it's all fake. Whether it's Reddit, 4chan, Leftypol, or even Dread. To me, all these platforms just feel like a simulation. I don't think most users are bots, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were. But I'm convinced that these platforms are dead. It was different in their early days. But they died a long time ago, and their bodies have simply been stuffed, and they're pretending to be alive. The tragic thing about it all is that you can't really know. You can only feel that it's all just dead. That it's all just staged. It's no fun arguing with "people," trolling them. It's like playing against bots. They behave according to a predictable pattern; they react. But it's just an "effect" without any meaning.

It's chill tho, and someone can always just make a instance software/frontend that doesn't include those. Like some people just use it for comment sections on their blogs. Main issue is identities, but even just having a personal website is inherently having an identity.

>>778380
>someone can always just make a instance

Oh no, please no more instances…How many more instances do we need? How much more user fragmentation do we need? In the end, we have 10000000000 instances, all completely isolated from each other, and each instance has 3 users total.

>>778394
>How many more instances do we need?
Infinity
>How much more user fragmentation do we need?
They use activitypub to federate, that's why it's called fedi.
>all completely isolated from each other, and each instance has 3 users total.
I see plenty of instances with 2 to 3 digit user counts from the one I'm using. Just find a non-HOA instance.

>>778403
The Fediverse is an absolutely idiotic concept. It reminds me of the split between Leftypol and Leftychan, only more extreme. Leftychan "defederated" from Leftypol, and now we have two completely isolated platforms with two isolated communities. They've perfected this principle with the Fediverse. Everything is just as awful as before. This talk about "decentralization" is just smoke and mirrors.

>>778452
Leftychan is like 7 different chuds that didn't like the anti-idpol and anti-incel rules, so it's good that they're on a different site now.

You're really just framing federation as a good anti-spam tool, which it is.

my dad would start arguments with random people on the road while driving
he'd also go fucking crazy if he even heard me locking a door or a single footstep at night because "i was interrupting his sleep" (keep in mind he was the type of person to not even close the door while he was sleeping)
my mother used to literally say "i will not love you anymore" if i did something wrong as a kid. i'm not a parent but i'm pretty sure that's not how you raise a healthy kid

I don't know, really. I think she meant it idiomatically as "the other woman," but why she would choose Lolita for that I have no idea. Maybe boomers had a different view of the novel.

>>777979
According to my sister, a few years ago my dad accidentally walked in on her having sex with her then boyfriend, and instead of just leaving he allegedly snapped a pic and then left. She shared that with me several months ago and I still think about it. My family has a strong strain of high functioning autism and I often believe it came from my dad given how weird he can be. Knowing him and his sense of humor it could be an innocent (albeit still weird) matter of him thinking it was funny but I don't know. Maybe she misunderstood, obviously she noticed him walk in and he knew she saw, weird that he'd choose then to he an open pervert. She was 19-20 when this happened so it's not like she was underage for whatever that's worth. But that same conversation she mentioned my dad came forward to her at another instance and shared he was sexually assaulted while on the high school wrestling team, and I know that sort of thing can lead to pedophilia when you get older.

I don't know. I try not to think about it but I also think about it often, completely changed the way I look at him.

>id consider the default state of logic to be disbelief
Why not 0? Like if you treat disbelief as the default state, you'll end up with an infinite array of disbeliefs.
>if something is so irrelevant that it doesnt matter whether or not its real, you can also safely assume that its not real
I see that as an unnecessary leap. Like how Euclid couldn't just draw a square and call it parallel after, like no you have to either construct the square in a way that proves the sides are parallel, or not insist such until someone does.
