  • Can people please recommend some media (writings, videos etc) for times of mental hardship? Feeling extremely stressed these passed few weeks and just want some pick me up. Essentially ML material that lifts me up hopefully.

  • Thanks comrade I appreciate those words <3 Woke up with insane wisdom tooth pain, need to get my car fixed while maintaining sanity.

  • Mostly been bouldering these past few days and doing chores. Weather is finally starting to pick up so can't wait to start riding the bike again. Depression is ever present regardless, but hanging in there.

  • Cuba @lemmygrad.ml

    Everything you’ve been told about Cuba is a lie

  • Anna's archive usually has the books you need.

  • Artists that are struggling to survive will almost all end up getting a job. They are proles with delusions of grandeur.

    Why would this be delusions of grandeur? An artist is still selling their labour to work for those with capital are they not? Usually they are just trying to make a living wage.

  • Yeah I've found that my current social group of people that I talk to all aspire to get more money, but mainly with changing jobs or getting a higher education. Is this actually considered wrong from a ML perspective?

  • The frame of reference is my partner who is a photographer and gets projects like weddings, concerts, products etc. Same with her mom who is a puppet maker and painter, also gets contracted for different projects. So they are essentially demoted to a wage worker if I understand correctly, since they still sell their labour.

  • Ask Lemmygrad @lemmygrad.ml

    Why are small business owners considered petit bourgeoisie?

  • Thanks for the reply!

  • Intelligentsia maintain a portion of the means of reproduction of society. Scholars, professors, researchers and the like.

    So if a scholar is also a marxist-leninist and teaches at an university they are automatically intelligentsia? Even if they support ML/Communist ideas?

    Small businesses and the like.

    This one is really difficult for me to grasp, it's probably my ignorance and lack of knowledge, but why would someone who is a small business owner that doesn't employ any other worker be bourgeois? Are freelancers and struggling artists who are trying to get their foot in the door of an industry also in that class? I hope I don't come off as aggressive (I just read back what I wrote and it sounds a bit like that, but I swear it isn't :D)

  • What is the difference between the intelligentsia and the petit bourgeoisie?

  • Bought my first pair of bouldering shoes after climbing for like a year. The difference from the rentable shoes is night and day (I know obvious) and the change in climbing is insane (also I know, obvious).

  • There was a post saying that lemmy was moving to a new image provider so some images might get broken.

  • Thanks for the article, I know what I'm reading tomorrow with my coffee!

  • I am yes, I've noticed that people from lower classes were much more likely to listen to what I have to say than people who went to universities or hold multiple degrees/phds.

  • Reading this was hard, I hope you are doing better now comrade and have the support and kind people you deserve. Thanks for you message 🙏

  • Ask Lemmygrad @lemmygrad.ml

    Not being taken seriously, mocked for my views and people not believing a word I say.

  • Tried to, but it didn't display lists for some reason.

  • Are there any good (and safe/non data collecting) reader apps/sites? For instance Red sails has a great website but sometimes I'd like the option of setting the font size and text width myself.

  • Amazing, thanks again

  • Thanks! Was just about to ask for the red sails article.

  • Ask Lemmygrad @lemmygrad.ml
