I've mostly stopped caring since its clear nothing is going to change for the better unless something catastrophic happens first. Like for instance famines and other climate change induced supply chain failures forcing people to fight a government that has nothing left to offer them except violence. I'll still be fighting with CPUSA until I die though.

While allowing places like r/Europe to exist after calling for the extermination of Muslim immigrants. They've never even pretended to be unbiased.

I wish, but I just know the segregationist city planners in my town will just lay down more asphalt and gated suburbs. We don't even have sidewalks or crosswalks even though there's people walking/biking everywhere. They intentionally make our towns unlivable.

I remember when the head mod of that godawful sub got called a Tankie for defending their version of socialism. Good times.

Mr Xi, in my country working full time barely covers the necessities. We yearn for freedom, please liberate my country.

Looks like humanity doesn't plan on surviving another century.

If your pickpocket skill is high enough, you can also reverse pickpocket a live grenade.

They'll never know the freedom and priviledge of jumping fences and sprinting across 8 lane highways to get to the airport.

Good to see African news. Something you'd never see on Reddit, where the "world" is just the USA, UK, EU, and their geopolitical enemies.

Just the quiet, subtle beauty of the world seen through the eyes of 5 year-old me. The smells of my grandma's incense, fall leaf litter, moss, dry forest air. The sun's rays cutting through the branches and warming my closed eyelids. Feeling the ground beneath my lap actually feeling like a part of it all.

Didn't know how much things would change for me the following year when I would start the first year of the absolutely soul crushing experience that was schooling, changing me for the worse. It was also when I would be introduced to electronic games, and addiction that further seperated me from the world I've grown to despise.

I told my wife that was basically my goal in life, to regain some of those fleeting moments of beauty and meaning I found so long ago.

You don't. Back in Marx's day the pamphlet was the main tool of propaganda, and so it was an even playing field. Now with carefully curated mass media, it's basically impossible to get the masses to look away from their phones and fight back. Every revolution in the 20th century happened because of incredibly desperate conditions workers were put through. It seems that capitalists have it dialed in just how much they can push us to where we won't revolt, only stew in indignation. They'll eventually get greedy and try to push us past our limits but who knows when that will happen. It seems like they'll just keep putting the squeeze on us indefinitely. Oh, and then there's this civilization destroying climate catastrophe developing, totally indifferent to our inter human struggles.
