  • This is a reason why many amerikan Internet communists believe this.

    Lots of Internet communists lack discipline/patience etc of being dedicated revolutionaries. They want communists somewhere to be successful but They don't want to do the extremely difficult task of long term revolutionary organizing, which can take decades to bear fruit, if it ever does. There's a high chance you will spend time in exile or in prison. And there is never a guarantee of success. Therefore there is a tendency among Amerikan comrades to emphasis the material conditions which make revolutionary organizing difficult in the usa as the reason the Amerikkkan left is inherently useless, and therefore they can justify there spectator-like relationship to politics. They can watch from the side lines and root for the socialists/anti imperialists instead of taking and difficult and dangerous agentic role in politics. (Notably comrades from other countries often do this as well, it's not solely an American problem)

    It is true that the material conditions in the usa do not currently seem conducive to revolution, and that the state of the US revolutionary left is severely underdeveloped to put it politely. However to conclude that the US proletariat/left is entirely useless and should not even try is missing two points. Firstly, we can't actually tell where revolutions will succeed, least of all decades in advance. Many Bolshevik leaders didn't think they would live to see a socialist revolution in Russia. If they had given up on the organizing project, concluding that the material conditions were better in Germany or France, there would not have been a Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Secondly, by living in the usa you have many opportunities to disrupt the imperialist war machine, in acts of material solidarity with global anti imperialist forces. Whether or not your organizing actually results in a socialist transformation of the usa (which I hope it does) the opportunity exists to do some serious good.

  • I'd prefer to see THAT movie, the movie where the villain reveals his intentions openly, it's treated for a brief second or two as if he's damned himself, and then half the population defends what he's doing

    Have you watched sorry to bother you? This is definitely a theme in the movie. It is also directed and written by a communist, so...

  • Normally I'll use dish soap in a cold shower for poison oak, which I find most effective. The bleach solution is an interesting idea though, perhaps I'll try it next time. The pumice is to get the encrusted engine grease off of my skin.

  • What's the deal with them?

    Nvm just looked at ops post history. Fuck those bastards

  • I would challenge you, and others in this chat on this. Choking has inherent risks which i obviously seek to mitigate in my own practice but I still enjoy getting choked. Is there any evidence choking is any more hazardous than, say, downhill skiing, tree climbing or drinking alcohol? Downhill skiing results in a significant number of maimings and severe injuries every year., as well as some deaths. Should we ban media promoting this objectively harmful activity? I guess I have two points. Firstly, people engage in hazardous activities for fun. That's ok actually, and banning media which encourages or promotes any hazardous activity is an absurd standard. Promoting safety and risk mitigation is cool ofc. You won't catch me discouraging my kid from climbing trees despite them being at a significantly higher risk than me and my partners when we choke each other. Secondly, I believe you are holding sex acts to a standard you wouldn't hold other activities to in terms of what is harmful or acceptable. I would challenge you to consider where those views are coming from.
