  • First exam results came back! The verdict was:

    I'm still a fucking loser idiot

    I managed to fail the exam I thought I did well in

  • Engels and lenin had good writings for beginners. You might want to read principles of communism, or state and revolution to get some basic context and theory. The first one is structured like an FAQ and is short. The latter you can find english translations that are quite accessible.

    Once you understand the basic principles of marxism, you will understand just how different the whole philosophy really is. If you get deep into the theory, you might see that Marxism is basically a whole separate branch of philosophy that breaks away from the enlightened tradition of western philosophy. In some small sense, I see Marxism as a refuation of liberalism.

  • This is a memey Internet forum not a ML party formation. Genuinely what do you expect?

    Also the stuff about the queer posting is just wierd. How many "normies" are wandering onto lemmy queer spaces in the first place? And if seeing some wierd memes is enough to "push" someone into conservatism then they were already a conservative.

  • This is a very idealistic view of history. Ideology did not create material conditions, material conditions created ideology (and ideology was used as a tool to reinforce material conditions)

    The slavery, genocide, capitalism and colonialism came first. Then liberalism was created to justify it. And I do want to emphasise that all of those 4 things were justified using liberal logic, that was the point of liberal logic.

    The first liberals deemed the "unenligtened" to be subhuman, incapable or governing themselves, worthy of being treated like livestock and as fundamental threats to the ruling order. This was their justification for doing everything they did, you can read their writings on native Americans and Africans and see exactly what classical liberalism was all about.

    Later waves of liberals ended up using liberal logic to abolish slavery. Great. But the reason they did this was because the capitalist mode of production had superceded the slave mode of production. The surplus of proletariats hated competing with slaves and having their wages be reduced. Meanwhile the northern bourgeoise often had friction with the southern planters since the planters were rentiers extracting wealth from the whole economy like parasites.

    Modern liberals now proclaim themselves to be great champions of "liberty" (the liberty for the bourgeoise to buy property), but they by in large continue to support capitalism and western imperialism*. And frankly, why wouldn't they? That was what the ideology was created for.

    *you can see this in their insistence upon using "white man's burden" arguments whenever foreign intervention comes up

  • Gender transitioning is a lot like cultivation from those novels I'm reading

    1. Inject yourself with drugs for a powerup? Check
    2. "Righteous path hypocrites" getting in your way constantly? Also check
    3. Comprehending the dao (of feminisation/masculinisation)? Absolutely
    4. Ancient demons reviving to cause havoc? Maybe not this one
    5. Gender non conformers everywhere? Bingo. This one isn't even a joke. Chinese webnovels love femboys and trans women for some reason.
  • I’m in the camp that their ideas of classical liberalism were fine. I feel shame that our country is built on genocide, slavery and exploitation

    Not an American here, but do you not see the contradiction here? From an outside perspective this reads the same as a German saying

    I'm in camp that hitler's ideas were fine. But I feel shame that the riech was founded on genocide slavery and exploitation.

    Like I'm genuinely confused here.

  • Managed to get an appointment with the psychologist for suicidal thoughts. Will I think it will help? Absolutely the fuck not. I'm wasting my time. I'm beginning to have thoughts that maybe if I hospitalise myself the system will take things more seriously, but who am I kidding? The only result would for them to take away my Estrogen.

  • I'll be honest I've straight up ran out of depressive and negative and toxic sentences to say. When I'm typing out a vent/rant and it's like "I already complained about this shit before" it just feels like I'm such a sack of useless dogshit. Can't get my life together.

    I should pick up unhealthy coping mechanisms like drugs or self harm but I'm too fucking lazy and forgetful and weak to even commit to that.

    I hate myself so fucking much it's unreal. I can't even go to the grocery store without seeing people have fun on the way and thinking to myself that I am alone loser who deserves the absolute worst.

  • Nothing could be evil about the great saviour kenjaku! He's just having fun! His definition of fun may be unorthodox (human experimentation and comedy shows), but still, everyone is allowed to have their hobbies.

  • I'm just coping because I'm failing to be a girl and want to compromise. Sounds like the typical cowardice I get upto. My existence is an insult. I can't do anything right, including even figuring out who I am.

  • I think kenjaku from jjk is great genderfluid representation. Now I don't know whether or not I'm genderfluid, so I'll only speak for myself instead of genderfluidness in general.

    But like, switching bodies (to do your mad scientist plans), getting impregnated and giving birth (also for your mad scientist plans), emotionally manipulating a man after hijacking his dead wife's body to the point where that man looks past the fact that his "wife" somehow came back from the dead (I assure you, mad scientist plans), then fucking off to another body, this time male.

    All sounds like the genderfluid shenanigans I want to get upto. But alas! I don't have magic powers.

    1. Tell them you don't feel like eating dinner at that specific time and would prefer for them to just set aside your dinner so you can have it later. If they ask why you are leaving the house, just say you feel like going out cause you feel restless. If you do it too often they'll suspect something but it can work in a pinch
    2. Prepare dinner yourself. If they ask why you made dinner yourself just say that you wanted to cook something and practice cooking skills. Hell maybe even cook some for your fam.
    3. Use chloroform to make your parents go to sleep then leave the house. When they wake up and ask wtf happened say it was a prank. They'll understand.

  • Alongside this, £115 million (US$157.3 million) will be invested over the next three years into a National Centre for AI in Policing, known as Police.AI. The Israeli-based Corsight AI – implicated for using AI for surveillance in Gaza and leading to the wrongful detention of hundreds of Palestinians – will be subcontracted to help provide this service.

    Behold. Israel, genocide trained AI and mass surveillance. The holy trinity of 21rst century liberalism.

    as well as the merger of Britain’s 43 separate police forces, likely into 12 "mega forces".

    I wonder if centralisating the police forces will make them more violent or less. Well at the home secretary thinks it will make them more violent else they wouldn't be doing it, but does anyone know of how this shit might play out?

    In parallel, the House of Lords amended the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill to ban VPN access for under-18s, mandating provider identity verification and further eroding online anonymity. A recent amendment to the UK’s 2025 Online Safety Act will require social media and dating apps to take “proactive steps” – including pre-scanning private messages – to curb unsolicited nude images and other harmful content.

    Awful in every way.

  • Yeah but the miners will not all quit all of a sudden. If many quit but there are still enough left, the remainder will enjoy higher profits since they'll crack more blocks (iirc miners compete for blocks)

  • In traditional markets, I'm denied entry because I don't have a prescription my doctor refuses to give to me. So idk what the benefit of traditional markets is supposed to be to anyone in the same situation.

    And once you find a good seller, you can stick to them and spread the word. Obviously there are risks of scams and fake product, but this is the fault of the government barriers to traditional markets rather cryptocurrencies.

    Hell, even if it wasn't the government's fault, it would be nature of black markets, rather than crypto currencies (the latter which is just a tool).

    People on this post act if crime and black markets were invented by the schmeing Mr. John Bitcoin or something.

  • Bitcoin has an inbuilt mechanism to make it exponentially harder to mine. That means the labor value to mine it will keep growing and that sets an ever increasing minimum price floor on the currency.

    Is this a sensible way of making a currency? Hell no. Does this mean that bitcoin invesment as an asset will continue to endure for more years? Yes.

    The only thing that could feasibly crash the bitcoin market is if most bitcoin users and miners move to a more sensible crypto that is designed for transactions and not investment.

  • most pills sold on the dark web are not genuine pharmaceuticals

    This appears to be a sweeping statement that would be very hard to confirm or deny.

    The danger is what's inside

    Yeah this is what you have to deal with when governments prioritise profits over the people's health. It's just a matter of risk management.

  • What a shame 128 innocent fishermen and drug dealers were killed instead of american soldiers/politicians.

  • In any given economy, there is only a finite amount of living labor to be hired out, a finite amount of embodied labor in goods/services to consume, and a finite amount of embodied labor in the form of machinery/assets.

    All of this can be bought with money, and the correspondence between money and amount of labor is quite strong (not on a transaction to transaction basis, but on an aggregate basis)

    So if everyone is competing to grow their amount of money, then they will get a bigger share of the pie. And if you don't grow your own amount of money, you will pay for other capitalists share of the pie.

    In market terms, no matter how good of a business you have, other capitalists will always be eyeing your market share. Sit on your ass too long and it'll all be gone.
