In the US Undergraduate commonly refers to a bachelors in my experience. Usually folks specifically say associates degree if that's what they are referring to
There was a brief live action Dresden files on the Sci Fi channel iirc
Didn't know he's been in Red Nation as well, but the Rev Left interview was super interesting. Really looking forward to reading this one
Thanks for elaborating and the tone indicator. I had to look up what sealioning even is - I certainly wasn't trying to tone police you, I was just asking you to clarify your tone since I couldn't infer it from your original post and it clearly mattered.
I have no way of knowing how you feel or what your intentions were when you replied and really thought I was going out of my way to politely ask for clarification while pushing back with some critique. I stand by what I said that you should be more direct but in hindsight I should have phrased it differently - suggesting you were lib or socdem rather than more directly saying that your original post (if it was in earnest, which you have clarified it wasnt to some extent) smacked of a form of liberalism was not a very useful shorthand, and I apologize for that.
No harm was meant in my original reply to you, i was really earnestly asking for clarification. Thanks for spending the time clarifying comrade.
No need to put yourself or your efforts down! This is a piece of agitation and education, and its always good to hear a comrade not leaving their politics at the door because its socially problematic or inconvenient. In some of my own relationships I've struggled with towing the revolutionary line (its a work in progress as always), but I do always try to push back on liberal and fascist narratives + educate and agitate when folks I know bring them up. Are you involved in any orgs?
FWIW most of my agitation time is spent with a local org where we use a variety of tactics to attempt to educate, agitate, and organize, and that feels (in a purely vibes based way) much more effective since we can reach a much larger audience and community members we've never met before. We do struggle with organizing actions to try getting folks on the ground and organized not feeling effective at times (or being somewhat liberal in nature, even if the rhetoric is revolutionary), and I would love to hear from other orgs on how they have successfully turned well meaning libs into thoughtful communists consistently.
Thank you comrade! Really appreciate the thoughtful response and links.
Can't really tell what the intended tone of this is. Kinda reads like you're calling me a lib for using the word "involved." If this is meant as a joke, all good, I appreciate that we are all dealing with shit atm.
If this is meant as actual critique I would urge you to be more direct, as your post stands now this reads like a reddit comment or a very liberal critique from a disingenuous socdem.
Certainly in agreement with that, and hopefully many users of the bear site and other adjacent instances are involved with, or getting involved with, their local orgs. It's also crystal clear that USAmerican leftists do not currently know how to pull the masses towards the direction of liberation. I guess I'm personally looking for tactics and strats that folks on the ground are using and how they are working or aren't working so people outside of those hyper local contexts can re-apply effective tools in their own cities.
Thanks!
This is my transition goal
