    While that's true, people on reddit called me a tankie for saying that the Vietnam war was a crime and that made me so mad i had no choice but to farm karma on r/chapotraphouse every day, read Lenin and trans my gender.

    Kinda unironically part of (albeit not the driving factor) between me coming to the conclusion of left unity being absolutely necessary. That and because I understand that we're gonna need to be "authoritarian" as fuck to certain classes and factions in order to avert capitalist driven ecocide.

    I had a long conversation about climate collapse last night, and let's just say i am less optimistic than you about averting ecocide. We still need to limit the harm it will do, there's a fairly huge difference between capital's climate contradiction killing off scores of millions or one billion + people, but when i look at the imperial core, i fear that revolution will not happen before we can smell the ash from the fire clouds every day of summer.

    It's an extension of "you become more right wing as you get older."

    I've had people straight up tell me that I wouldn't believe in leftism once I paid taxes and owned a house.

    I do both, so 🤷🏽

    the older and lucky-for-me, the more engrained into the social order (homeownership, taxes, etc) i become with its nominal stability for basic needs... the more radical left i become. because there is no reason to deprive anyone in society of these basic accomodations.

    frankly, it exposes the moral/spiritual bankruptcy or egoic preoccupation of the others now around me, in similarly improved situations, who want to focus more on personally aspiring to more elaborate and luxurious consumption, rather than trying to figure out ways to leverage our enhanced positions to support the ones still held down.

    im not like a religious person or metaphysically inclined like i once was, but i guess its still obvious to me that chasing luxury is truly a dead end... and i feel like those who chase it are pathetic and doomed.
