General Discussion Thread - Juche 113, Week 11

This was me during my history class today:

Burkina Faso gives me hope for a better world.

I smoked weed for the first time, got high, not overrated

smoking with comrades rocks

I got sick and tired of right wingers on instagram pages being absolute smug shits that I have decided to start two foot tackling comment sections and... it seems to be working? Like I am somehow getting hundreds and hundreds of likes on a comment, effectively ratioing them every time.

This is what my life has become. Instagram beefing with losers.

But at least my idea of showing balls and not showing fear to these edgelords seems to be working.

I hope you all have a nice week :D

It’s Holodomor week at school!

Yet another netflix show with an unhealthy dose of anti-communist propaganda ( the signal ). At this point i am convinced that these netflix shows need to fulfill a certain quota per movie/show to be allowed.

Why are you all so cute? What business do you have being so cute, huh? 🤨

I love you all. 🥰

I've been thinking... According to modern monetary theory money is just an accounting tool for states with currency sovereignty. Since it posits that taxes give the currency legitimacy, and maybe appropriate personal taxes can adjust wealth based clout, aren't any talk of taxes basically a red herring?

Power and wealth come from capital and productive capacity, so by by-passing the talk of capital and productive capacity, the conversation is drawn to something that can never actually provide the changes anyone remotely left desires (tax the wealthy for example).

It makes it easy to ignore that the wealthy are wealthy because they own so much property (Elon Musk has shares which are property), and that the solution is to alleviate them of that burden directly, not through taxation of the property value.

Intrigued by the whole Kate Middleton drama that is stirring up right now. Proper weird UK behavior again.

Another week

An elderly man I know (far into his 90s) will probably die soon. He is on hightened supervision for now during what will be his last days. He is a very religious man.

What I admire is how much at peace with dying he is. He says it's all okay for him because, according to him, he will be reunited with God and his long deceased wife soon.

I'm not a religious person but I think this is a nice thing for him.

of course Oppenheimer gets all the awards.

My surgery is at the end of next month. What a lying bunch of twats. There's other bad news but I don't have a need to give the details. I hate this country so fucking much. I hope it burns.

I was told I'll get a call with the surgery date this week. I wonder if this time it's true.

I'm in multiple social media groups for our party and the amount of work all these people do is amazing. It's a day and night effort to reach as many people as possible, all day every day. They deserve a better world.

With all the focus on the yankee circus they call "election", is anyone here paying attention to the similar circus in Russia? Because we're having an election starting today (and through the Weekend).

The propaganda has been quite something. Interestingly, it mostly centers not on "vote for candidate X", but rather on the act of voting itself. The establishment seems very keen on having as many people show up as possible

Finally reading State and Revolution. Wish I had picked it up years ago!

Wednesday is coming to an end. Still no call from the hospital. IDK, I don't believe they'll call tomorrow or on Friday. ;__;

"This man may look smart but in fact is stupid." Guess who said this and who is refering to 😂

Can the hospital please finally call today?

PSA: Please do not ask facts to an LLM especially political facts. They are all incredibly censored. I would be interested in Chinese LLMs and they are mostly neutral.m

"Cross the river by feeling the stones"

Aloha!

My cat has a tooth inflammation. She refuses to eat most of the food, despite obviously being hungry and I'm going back to work tomorrow, so I most likely will not be able to get her to a dentist vet soon

this is just amazing

Watching evangelion with chinese subs. It's so sad Rei died of ligma :(

not only this doesn’t do what i ask it to do. on top of that it provides religious humor gawd

I'm back, everyone.

How do you all combine organising with school and/or work? And is the organisation you're organising with sympathetic to you not always being available due to other responsibilities?

I don't think @DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml can see my comments...
