Solidarity comrade little friend

Fair enough. Makes sense why there’s so much emphasis on practice (besides that being where the revolution comes from) because you kind of have to live dialectical materialism to understand it fully.

Glad your confidence is boosted. Congrats on the hormones! Good luck :3.

It’s probably “normal.” Sounds familiar anyway.

Short answer: “man” “woman” and “nonbinary” aren’t real and there is no evidence to analyze to see which category you belong to. Over time you will figure out your vast and multifaceted preferences.

Longer, better answer: you should read this recent hexbear post (well, mostly the comments).

I just started concerta and it’s pretty nice. All it changed is that there’s less miserable time in between tasks where I’m trying to transition or stuck on my phone. Haters and losers say ADHD meds turn you into a mindless drone but that is not true. Most of my extra focus has gone towards “unproductive” hyperfixations (although I’ll try to get more work done, it just didn’t seem as important for a bit). There’s the expectation in this capitalist society that if you’re using drugs to focus better all that extra ability to do things belongs to the exploiters, but you can certainly use it only occasionally when you need it for work and otherwise to empower yourself to do what you like more in free time.

I’m not talking about PSL, just who might use that language.

Explicit patsocs sometimes call for that, but often they stick to the “working class” which happens to be strictly blue collar and not all proles.

I haven’t played a game in a while but thank you for spoiling.

If I didn’t have anything else on my plate I could do a Reddit x Lenin type response to most of the stuff in the book in not too long and format it.

I could crank out a better book in two weeks lol.

[–] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah, most “tankies” have heard of the cia thing, the anti-settlers bs, and so on, while the great gatsby and Zeno’s paradox are fairly common knowledge. Its totally unclear what he’s trying to accomplish, even how he thinks this would impress anyone.

[–] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 7 months ago

I think the point is that they have better analysis or knowledge, but that’s still an absurd way to put it.

It reads more like bourgeois philosophy. Needlessly complicated, expecting you to be familiar with the subject matter before you read the book, and being an exercise in showing the reader just how much the author knows and has read.

Schopenhauer reincarnated but he likes Hegel now. None of the examples are even particularly obscure though.

I haven’t read losurdo either but I’ve heard he’s good.

 
 

I’m reading ‘The Emperor Has No Clothes’ and that’s what it sounds like. Hemp is the best thing for making textiles and plastic and paper; It’s better medicine for a ton of things than most pharmaceutical drugs; Its seeds are one of the best foods; and it grows fast anywhere. It’s an old book and I haven’t checked the many sources, but is it all true? I know you can get psychologically dependent on smoking weed, and I suppose it could go invasive (though people could just use it when it does), but I’ve only eaten the seeds - is there any other caveats? Why don’t I see more about China and Russia using it? Is it possible to try to grow in a city in the US (guerrilla gardening?)? Also, I’m wondering if edibles or whatever make it worse. I know there are environmental problems with growing it indoors for THC.

Edit: I forgot to mention the reason why we’re not using it is because the industries that would be taken over by it (plastics, pharma, etc) got the government to ban it under racist pretenses.

 

I live in the US, btw.

This is what you get when you constantly promote zizek.

Edit: there’s a reason why marxists don’t use hegel’s dialectics

 

Almost a year ago I bought a pocketbook with buttons. It served me pretty well for the constant bugginess. Then a few weeks ago it froze and I tried everything I could think of to get it to work. Days later my damn cat peed on it to spite my other cat. The company won’t reply to my emails. I’ve given up on it, but it would be nice to have an ereader again because of the books I started and don’t feel like reading on my phone or computer. I could just buy something off AliExpress, but I want some advice first. Any recommendations?

 
 

I took it out of the meme to avoid seeming cluttered, but I must mention that they don’t just want USian corporations to have the monopoly. Renewables are at odds with capitalism and capitalists know oil is more lucrative than less labor intensive alternatives. Ted Reese makes a strong explanation for the lack of adoption of hemp and solar in SoE.

I saw someone on hexbear mention it a while ago, and went on my own research rabbit hole. It seems pretty cool, and I believe it could cure diseases and increase health in general, it’s just hard. The jist is a Soviet doctor named Buteyko realized breathing less and increasing CO2 in one’s body can greatly improve health. His method is to do lots of breath exercises, stay active, and eat healthily. I’ve been doing 15 minutes of exercises everyday for a few weeks, but it’s slow, and my control pause is a terrible 9 (probably part of why I’m always tired. Fuck school for making me wake up at an unnatural time and making me sit so long). The people around me irl that I’ve mentioned it to seem to think it’s too hard or a waste of time. For better or worse, I’m also a modernist, believing in human “perfectibility” with the right conditions and influences.

What do you think? Is it legit? Do any of you practice?
