I think i get so incensed at some people, including comrades, because I hate when people use something being “hard” as an excuse to not do the work to actually think properly. [Materially it can be different. If you’re disabled then that’s a reasonable thing to say it’s hard to do physical things like protest]

“It’s hard for me to sympathize with x” or “well it’s hard for me to see it like that because y.” Well tough. That’s really all I have to say. If you want to have a huff and a puff about it then go calm down and think about it. If you actually have something logical to say then I’ll listen to it, but if all you have is Pathos then you have nothing at all

Edit: This isn’t related to something recent or anything. I was thinking about a conversation I had with a Chinese comrade a while back that bugged me

Edit 2: I think I also hate emotional reasoning in general. I’m not saying you shouldn’t experience emotion, but the amount of times ive seen someone say something immaterial because of emotions is dumb.

Hello nerds

hope you all have a good next week

If I disappear for a time, it’s probably me trying to take a break from following things closely. Sometime today after reading the news about satanrael passing a death penalty law for Palestinian prisoners, I had what I could only describe as an emotional breakdown. I was getting uncharacteristically angry about random things (not at anyone, just in my own time) and then eventually broke down crying and realized that’s what was eating at me more than anything else.

I don’t really want to stop following things, I want to be informed and not look away, but I may have to force myself to for a bit so I can cope. I think the pain of it has been building up in me for a while.

Why do I see so many Polish 🇵🇱 neonazis online? I guess that’s what almost 4 decades of no socialism does to people 🤷‍♂️

I just wanted to post this somewhere, but It feels so weird now that my dad is gone, and weird that both my parents are now gone. I think the main thing I noticed is I’m no longer constantly fretting over my dad and his drinking anymore or living in that kind of environment, and I’m realizing how much living in that kind of space took away from me. It really wasn’t a good environment, how could it ever be.

Been playing a game called Esoteric Ebb. Its draws very heavily on Disco Elysium in its narrative style in a Planescape: Torment style fantasy city. Not sure if it is doing those games justice but its interesting.

je vous souhaite à tous une belle et agréable semaine .

et n’oubliez jamais ; le communisme va gagner ! ✊🏼

I am genuinely convinced that tertiary education is a scam for most jobs.

Fuck do I need a Bachelor’s Degree for a glorified customer service role? Why do I have to go to college for three years just to be a supervisor? Like, what is this nonsense? These aren’t complicated roles but they want me to have a degree in order to do something as basic as tracking truck routes.

This is just financial gatekeeping to keep poor people out of these roles and I don’t understand why. What’s the end game here? How do the bourgeoisie benefit from artificially limiting their recruitment pool like this?

Incredible 4-d chess play by Maduro to get captured by Trump so Trump got over confident and attacked Iran (/s)
