Yeah, I went audiobook. I'm out of practice with reading books in print and I get very sleepy when I try. If I do audiobooks I can be doing other mindless tasks and also absorbing the material. And I don't mind rewinding if I miss something.

    Thanks for bearing with me and turning the convo around. I really think people on the left, even if fairly different on the spectrum, really gotta stick together right now. Lemmy is often not of the same opinion in my experience.

    Likewise. There is far too much ego on the left sometimes, too busy trying to dunk on eachother with who has the best theory or whatever. It's time for us to address our common goals, remember how united everyone was with Luigi for a moment? It's there, right under the surface, it's only a matter of time and £$billions are being spent trying to suppress it. They're losing, thrashing, and flailing. Idk if we should just mercy finish them off or just let nature take its course, my inner angel cries to help them but we all agree they're not trying to help us.

    Agreed. Countless times I've seen this. It's so counter productive. I think it happens because we are all so pissed off that we vent our anger when we get a chance. Simple, stupid, human nature.

    It's animalistic nature to blow off steam, it's human nature to take a deep breath and respond instead of react. But yeah, I think the reason us leftist fight so much is because we're the only ones willing to give eachother the conversation xD

    That is interesting. I'd not considered that but it does sort of make sense. For years I tried to talk to my conservative parents, friends, and family about this stuff. I don't think they ever listened, truly.

    Yeah I know what you mean. Sucks too when they call themselves liberals but are conservatives in practice, they live in a very comfortable little box thanks to their paychecks, so they have no reason or need to think about the problems because "The markets are better than ever, it's working well for me, I need to work with it to feed my family." Historically, it's always those people who turn coat and turn reporter for the fascists to save their own skin. Hence my statement that if you choose your comfort and paycheck over resisting against tyranny then you're part of the problem (the royal you, not you in particular.)
