  • Opinions on Unemployment nearly for a year

    Jump

  • I've been doing it for four, and most of it has been pretty miserable and hopeless, just not quite enough to go visit the bridge that one last time. There were also some decent times here and there as well. And fairly recently I discovered something that I can see myself spending years on if I ever get back to a materially stable place. So I'll keep doing the barest of minimums that I can handle until it either somehow works out for the better or kills me. That's literally the depressed person's trump card - "if I die - I die, oh well".

    When you've been wet and cold for a long time it becomes hard to even imagine that you were ever warm and cozy in the first place. But it only takes one good evening in front of a fire to bring that back. So just keep doing what you can to find your fireplace, even if all you can do is lay down on the floor and cry. Maybe someone will hear it and come by with a portable heater c:

    You don't need one. It's okay to not be okay. Try living life like you're already dead. What's the worst that could happen?

  • immigrants committing sexual violence, stealing jobs, out breeding the "whites", coming into the country illegally, given all the money, not working, benefit exploiting, being uncivilised savages etc.

    In the US they used this line in support of eventual disenfranchisement and mass murder of Indigenous peoples, Africans, Chinese, Mexicans. By the white labour unions, no less. First the "uncivilized immigrants" are brought into the country (or accepted as the subjects from within), then they work in inhumane conditions to build the cities, infrastructure and industry, and then they are displaced out of workplaces they created by the white European labour force.

    In your case - ask your relative how often they see white workers in construction and utility, in the food and farm industry, in (especially lower-end) service jobs. Is this the result of unfair competition of privileged immigrants against the white brits willing to work these jobs, or are they filling the labour underclass that sustains the comfy privileged lives of the white collar labour? Who makes your £10 curry, and who grows the rice for it?

    Look up the relevant stats distribution in crime, that's the easiest thing to disprove right away. As well as crime against the immigrants.

    And if you can make them read a book, "Settlers: The Mythology of the White Proletariat" by J. Sakai will not leave any place for this type of bullshit in their head.

  • Thoughts on Revolutionary Communist International? (marxism.com)

    Jump

  • It really depends on what's available around you, and what type of organizing you are looking to do. "International" does sound cool, but a lot of those, especially if you live in the imperial core, would be just maoists third-worldists roleplaying and doing self-flagellation about how the only revolutionaries are in the Global South. If you want to find a community of like-minded progressive people, I'd recommend you look into what's available locally. Go and try volunteering anywhere - soup kitchens, homeless/animal shelters, mutual aid groups, ecological activists, refugee support orgs, etc. I guarantee that you will find some people who are pretty far on the left, and they could probably link you up with more politically oriented orgs in the area if that's your specific interest. But going out and doing any meaningful work in your community already beats most of the hammer-and-sickle reading groups.

  • Thoughts on Revolutionary Communist International? (marxism.com)

    Jump

  • They're very cringe at best, and imo quite destructive in siphoning aspiring activists into their swamp, possibly draining them of any momentum. They shit on any and every actual progressive movement or legislation, while chirping about the abstract glorious coming revolution and trying to sell their silly papers. There's a good reason why they're shunned away from picket lines and sometimes even protests. It's a meme in the organizer communities to go through fightback, RCI, or whatever the latest branding iteration, before joining someone that actually does stuff.

  • Anti-anxiety meds

  • Try Ashwagandha supplements. You already take a pretty crazy cocktail of meds, and introducing more complex pharmaceuticals is unlikely to give you the balance you're looking for. Also, anecdotally Vyvanse was definitely contributing to my anxiety big time.

  • The video had a beautiful message and was acknowledged by plenty of people

    Jordan Peterson has a beautiful message of cleaning your room, Andrew Tate has a beautiful message of working out, and Benito Mussolini had a beautiful message of trains running on time. If it came from an asshole - it's shit. Don't touch it yourself and definitely don't spread it here.

    However, if the tool is handled by workers in socialism, the produce will be successes that are vital to human life.

    It is not handled by workers in socialism. It is predominantly and mainly used against workers in capitalism. I stg this is the crypto bros all over again, but now the blockchain itself talks to y'all, saying "please share my glory, don't let me die". I understand the tech very well from inside and out, and my gripe is not with the bits and pixels, but with who uses them and for what. I'd rather never see an ai-generated video or use decentralized currency ever again than have them in the state that they are today. /thread

    Dog, I love the coverage you share here on African affairs, particularly on Sahel States progress. I barely get that news anywhere else, and I love to see the positive developments on the planet. This is good work and I really appreciate you doing it. But please leave me out of your ai crusade, I see plenty of brave warriors on every other platform.

  • AI, neocolonialism and the world's majority

    Jump

  • I'm confused. Me calling the "communist ai video" out as ironic trash equals me ignoring the Global South? And you're begging me to, I presume, save it by watching more ai slop? And tagging me in an article that lists all the negatives of the industry? 🤔

  • My brother, using the technology that as of present is used exclusively to ostracize the working class to "promote a message" of support for the working class is, most charitably, ineffective. There is no shortage of wonderful artists who put their thoughts, lived experiences and emotions into making revolutionary music that is infinitely better. There is quite literally zero reason to use ai slop in their stead. "It's actually fascism that makes this bad, not the tech" and still promoting it is a weird position to take. What dog do you have in this fight?
