  • The communist underground

  • The discussion started from buying tickets for public transport for them and I informed them that a lot of poor folks can no longer afford the tickets.

    The most amazing bit is that towards the end when the discussion had evolved to all the things like WW2 and even Stalin, the older teenager said "it's terrible how little it is talked about what the Japanese did in WW2 and how crucial the role of China was in defeating fascism." This was a follow up on discussing how the Soviet Union saved the world from fascism on which they agreed and were aware of the cold war propaganda that has scewed this. Never in my life would I have expected to hear this sort of talk from young humans under 15 years old.

    Talking about stuff like this is very common and normal in our lives though.

  • I love that it looks like this person of endless money could not think to clean his phone camera lense before taking a picture.

  • Got to spend the day with kids today and am here to tell you that the kids growing up right now, they are all right.

    Far more communism positive in all the ways than I ever could have expected and extremely ready to burn capitalism to the ground. Love to see it.

  • Oh I love these, grew these last summer as well.

  • Friday frost 💙

  • Yet it still makes one feel kind of bad which honestly sucks, because it's the victims feeling bad only, every step of the way.

    I kind of think that as long as the sort of violent pathriarchy that we have fostered exists, there should be real material deterrants that actually deter something. In so many cases the abusers are protected, shielded and if they do get convicted those are typically slaps in the wrist. So I am in favor of the type of authoritarianism where this is condemned so strongly on a systemic level that it puts some fear into the abusers. While at the same time focusing on changing our culture to something where this no longer is as common. On the global scale it feels like only China is on the side of the victim.

  • My workplace is doing a huge systems change this week and I'm one of those neurospicy techy types in this environment (not a techy in the online sense) who can usually get a handle on these types of things pretty fast.

    Our manager decided to take a vacation this week so I've been existing on Teams with 700 tabs and a million discussions open assisting my very boomery coworkers on how to get anything done and I'm reminded what a beast pure hyperfocus is. What it's costs are.

    I feel a little nauseous, my heartrate is elevated, I didn't eat or drink all day, my neck hurts and I have a headache. I'm mentally moving towards a crash after such a high energy fast-paced 8 hours and my eyes hurt. With nothing physical included this just kind of destroys me, I'm very very wired, but completely exhausted at the same time.

    And no, I get no extra wages for doing any of this. But my co-workers love me.

  • My feelings on this became very complex the day the man who abused me died, literally from prostate cancer. And prior to this was paralyzed from the waist down.

    This was a friend of extended family so I had been forced to see him in family gatherings for years and he could also show up in my life unannounced. He was never charged for what he did, because I had been a teenager at the time and was told to keep silent to "not bring shame to my family" and told it was my fault. So it was this open secret and I was the one forced to act normal when he would show up somwehere. I felt unsafe and violated all the time. It was also an open secret that I was just one of many teenage girls he had done this to.

    So when he got paralyzed I felt so relieved, he could not do this to anyone ever again. Or me. Then when I was told he had died I remember saying "deserved it, haha" and I got so much pushback from this same family on what a terrible person I am for reacting this way.

    I don't necessarily support the death penalty on this, but the abusers do have to be kept away from potential victims and I have no idea what re-education in this case could look like. I am however not sad when someone like this dies and probably never can be.


  • Look at all the treasure I am chopping up to be frozen!

    Who needs to own a house when I can put frozen avocado in my smoothies, wohoo! (Smoothies I eat because I have no time or energy for a sit down breakfast or lunch in capitalism.)

  • Same. Thankfully on protonVPN youtube seems to be working, for now

  • Saw today that the father, Martti Ahtisaari is not surprisingly in the same pictures with the british labor ghoul and Blair, all related to Epstein. But sure, the son just happened to meet him once...

  • Tried changing them with Mulvad, but never got in. Been doing the mirrors instead.

  • It's a part of the health grift scene imo.

    Years ago I went to one, once. As my physical therapist actually suggested it. I had terrible back pain at the time and this person started talking about chakras and my internal organs and how something in me isn't aligned right. Also lots of detox talk and psych talk. She manipulated my back with one of those muscle hammers and made things so much worse. I have a degree related to exercise and rehab myself and the things she said were such woowoo that I am still annoyed I spent money on it.

    The anti-vax etc. stuff and drinking silver water and such venn diagram also tends to be a full circle with these people.

  • Kind of annoyed, but not surprised by how many things are blocked if you use a vpn. My uni sites are all off limits, so is YT if not signed in and I'm never signing in. Used Mulvad for a month and now trying out Proton. With Proton I can at least lurk some reddit pages I like to check out occasionally.

  • Probably.

  • Hyperfocused on my reading and writing all day and completely forgot to eat. Ran on tea and nic pouches until 6pm before eating a proper meal. Went to the shower after eating and now I'm all of a sudden hungry, like ravenously so. I just ate. Ffs.

  • Looked up mine, it did find me and some of the more visible stuff I've done in my life like sports stuff and hobby stuff. But nothing since I removed myself from all the things years ago, which is nice. Except for work stuff where it isn't my choice.

  • Got graded for a uni exam I did on social theory and it was graded excellent. I don't really care, but my answers were honestly not at all great. This is because they expected me to know ALL social theories for one exam and remember them all. I literally got exhausted by it all and left the last answer unfinished. But I did know I did not really answer well the questions asked, but whatever.

    What bothers me is that this is the theoretical knowledge level that we are only expected to have. A childs understanding of Weber, Marx, Durkheim etc. etc. In the actual social sciences these are studied a few at a time and I've done these courses and do have a lot of these living rent free in my head now, but I could not tell you what some dude said about systems if I don't revise it first, there's so much of it.

    One of the "theory" books that were mandated reading for this also featured people like Gandhi and St.Paul. It was all very incoherent. I don't know what to think.

    And, I got my first feedback on my marxist thesis from my thesis instructor who started with "I know nothing about marxism" and then told me to "drop the alienation discourse" and "maybe focus on just one book/theory by marx". It made me feel completely resigned from my project.
