Seagulls have more praxis than me 😿

life will beat the egotism out of you

I've met way too many mediocre (mostly)white (mainly)men who think they know everything to believe that.

I heard (could be mistaken) that there is a group in Texas that has shown up, armed, several times when tent cities were going to be torn down and averted their distruction, at least temporarily. Should def be a nationwide movement, but there would need to be a way to identify when the pigs were going to roll in.

Sadly, at least here in the American south, I don't know a single, non-clergy, christian who has read the Bible. Instead they've somehow been filled with the message that they'll somehow not understand it.

So the only understanding they have of their own religion comes from sermons, pop culture, and maybe a devotional they read once during a hard time in life.

Or less for less. I know a woman who is a manager of a dialysis clinic, as soon as she was making over 100k she started getting pushback from higher ups, having more oversight, and having her funds for extra services to patients / staff cut. It's clear they want her out even though she has the lowest mortality in the region, because they don't need more than beds filled (Medicaid pays) and legally required minimums to be met.

Just sending some warmth your way in the tiny way I can. Hope things get better for you.

Is that particular combination special?

a later sudden uncritical swing to being an ML followed by backsliding

I'm in this picture and don't like it. I doubt I'll ever get over my philosophical distrust of hierarchy, but somehow this made it finally click that I should at least read some theory (and not short versions, or long explanations of the current systems at play in China) before continuing being critical of MLism.

Tbh, I think seeing how insufferable libs are, and how the so-called anarchists of blahaj prefer them to us, really primed me for this awakening. Thanks.

He also got paid $38k for doing this. Source
