I'm sorry you have experienced that, comrade. I can only say that the goal is such a society where this kind of bullshit will be a thing of the past.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

thanks, but don't be; i'm convinced that i would be yet another liberal doomscrolling my life away, embittering myself further by the day because of the deep ignorance from the western propaganda like it is for some of my siblings/cousins/nephews/neices who turn to alcohol, drugs and other self destructive coping mechanisms.

i'm convinced that my dark skin; my queerness; and my nuero-divergence have forced me to develop tools that have proven themselves useful in thwarting the asshattery that life in this late stage capitalist world throws at me.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

That's the indomitable human spirit at work, we develop the tools we need. We may not live in a just world, but we live in one where we can and will win.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Not the indomitable spirit; simply A LOT of ass artificially bouying my spirits. Lol

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Both can be true!

The fact that you're still a liberal after witnessing the raw face of the empire means you haven't fully woken up yet.

i'm a liberal because most of the leftist theories requires a shit ton of reading and self education, which is going to take me decades to complete at my pace

@Cowbee@lemmy.ml posted a similar list and i've started there, but thanks for this one too nonetheless

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

Please let me know if you have any feedback! Looking for criticism as I start planning rev 3!

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

yeah, inject directly into my brain somehow. lol.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

lmao

I do want to make a "basic" and "advanced" list, as I explained over on Grad.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

i suspect that the trick is to somehow modernize it beyond audio books so that there tiny little doses of theory sprinkled throughout the day like tiktok has quick and tiny doses.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Lady Izdihar does this kind of short-form theory! I just posted a video link to her over in c/videos.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

EXACTLY! i've been following her on tiktok. she and madeline pendelton have been the most helpful in my self education.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

Awesome, glad to hear it!
