he has mentioned, in kind of a slip up way, that he has solidarity with the "concept of podcasting".

so i guess he treats it like a big trade union and just goes onto every podcast that asks

my own opinion/thoughts:

i would think libertarian socialism will be a transitional state to full communism.

i mean, at some point the state has to wither and that will be a process just like building socialism itself. i'm talking generations under world or world majority socialism even under an ML framework. no siege socialism, the day has been won and now is time to win the peace

there could theoretically be shortcuts to it but i think this is beyond current prediction and would require some kind of incredible technological or social leap

i'm really new to this game but have years of Paradox game experience, including a bit in Victoria 2. i've done some short tutorial plays with Belgium and Sweden.

i know lots of random decisions come up and there's significant rng. is there any way or series of steps to effectively neutralize the southern planters (civil war or otherwise), stop the indigenous colonization while also somehow protecting their decentralized nations from the other powers? as well as the best route to socialism, anarchism, or even tolerant liberalism as fast as possible?

right now in my experimental run im just doing capitalism as fast as possible as well as staved off a Southern Planter coup. i already reduced their power and im only building in the northern states and bolstering Intelligentsia and the capitalists. i had an event that allowed me to reduce the trail of tears effects significantly (which triggered the coup, but haha get fucked i stopped it, whigs are in power now)

im also trying to keep the indian territory independent and friendly. don't know what to do about the colonization that is happening at game start

i'll totally start my game over if there's a better way.

this mostly applies to the U.S. but also most of the western world:

As Marxists we know that most policy is driven by what capital allows or within the increasingly narrow range of acceptable discourse it allows within bourgeois dictatorship

Obviously it's not a conspiracy of ten guys in a secret room but a general consensus that develops from a chaotic web-like oligarchy of money peddlers, influencers, lackeys, billionaire puppetmasters, etc

But this really, really hurts Capital. they need the influx of cheap labor or face the real threat of forced degrowth. and we know every international-community-1 international-community-2 including russia-cool is trying to make it harder for people to be childless but short of forcing people to procreate at gunpoint..

  • so why allow this to become a bipartisan consensus (U.S.) instead of say throwing some scraps of social democratic programs?

  • or in Europe's case allowing these parties to come to power instead of reversing some neoliberal austerity?

Is this a case of anti-immigration just being easier to do vs. building resiliency into the system? i mean it's always easier to write laws crimializing stuff and throwing cops at a problem i suppose

Or something else?

so i've thought about getting a script as a sort of one-two punch. one, to save my thinning hair so it can still look cute. two, the side effects would be scary if they weren't basically just "ooops you transed yourself"

ohnoes oh noes... what ever will i do if i grow boobies and my body hair thins

but seriously, some of the side effects (depression) I thought were maybe from cis men getting gender dysphoria but seems even transfemmes have experienced it. at least reading some reddit posts

anyone had experience with this? i'm hoping it can be a sort of gateway to everything else. dip my toes in the hormone adjustments

and minoxidil has never seemed to work for me. i know i won't get my hair line back but i'm cool with that.

just wanted to let everyone know that i do read everything, react IRL, and upbear. my social anxiety and ADHD has crawled even into my posting/commenting online which i was immune to when younger. i was wild in early forums and chatrooms

also not sure how long is too long to reply. things move slower in the lemmyverse but i'm so afraid of a reply being too "stale"

whats everyone else think about reply/comment protocol real or imagined?
