I'm not an expert in psychology, but straight up denying reality has to be a worse strategy than just admitting Biden is senile.

While people in the Imperial core do benefit from imperialism to the extent that it makes them unrevolutionary, it doesn't mean that making them worse off will make it any better outside the core.

Increasing income inequality in America doesn't make third-world countries any less exploited. It just means more of their labour is going to the American bourgeoisie rather than the American worker. The only argument you can really make is American workers should be worse off because they benefit from exploitation. But that's not a Marxist position, that's a moral position. It's a position that only seeks to punish people.

Regardless of whether American workers unfairly benefit from imperialism, I don't like when children go hungry, I don't like when LGBTQ+ folks are attacked, and I don't like when people die because they can't afford medication. Fighting for these things in America will not stop nor make worse the exploitation of the third-world.

Kamala would be absolutely crushing Trump right now. She'd fucking destroy him.

Trump is having an absolute dogshit performance but is winning because Biden can't string 3 words together. Anyone else could beat Trump by just repeating rehearsed talking points.

I'm early Gen Z and the thing I kinda dislike is how shameless this generation is.

Anime is a good example. It used to be a niche thing for nerds that you were kinda ashamed of outside of Studio Ghibli, but now it's really mainstream. That's all well and good but then you have some people with hentai stickers on their school laptop. Instead of adopting anime as a medium, we adopted the worst forms of otakuism. Instead of mass adoption tempering the worst aspects, it appears to have emboldened them instead.

I also know some people who go around sfw anime cons and pay women to step on them in public. When I said this was kinda weird, I was the one in the friend group that got flack. Gen Z is more willing to embrace their weird habits but some stuff should be done at home or with private groups.

I'll be completely honest with y'all, I think if we met irl I would hate 95% of hexbear.

Always has been.

We all have bad days but I get by with a little help from my friends ya know. And by "get by" I mean drink myself to oblivion and "my friends" I mean copious amounts of grain alcohol.

The show is really good actually and the animation is cool as well. It's basically one long love letter to early internet animation so if you know you know.

But the creators do have a right-wing cultural slant that shows up in their work. I don't support that of course.

I've decided to become gender fluid for the sole purpose of ensuring I only have gay sex.

If you're a man, so am I. But I refuse to be straight.

Went to my first pride event. The second I get in everyone kinda stares at me. Someone asks me probing questions like "Who are you, why are you here?" Realize they think I'm a chud. Clear that up and start a nice conversation. Walk into the next room, everyone looks like at me the exact same way. Explain I'm not a chud again.

Is there a term for this? Was I assigned Chud at birth?

I’m doing my best to push through it, I’m out there talking to people, but there’s usually a point where we are sharing personal anecdotes and I just feel my stomach tightening, as I barely have any of those. I have no experiences which means I have no identity which means I am uninteresting.

Most people stop learning in whatever thing they're interested in after about a year. You're not 10 years behind other people, you're closer to 2-3 years. I used to think that I was hopelessly behind other people when it came to dating but most people only learn how to date for a year or so. Then they just glide on what they know for the rest of their lives. It's the same for pretty much anything else. Once people stop learning passively, they usually stop learning.

It's the same for you. You're not 10 years behind, you're only 2-3 from being just as experienced as the average person.

Do we think Xi is a wife guy?
