Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

My family are mostly Democrat voting liberals and I identified as one for years. When I was in 5th grade I spent more time with my Fox News-watching grandparents and became a Republican for like a year or 2 and became an apolitical lib for a while. From like 2015-2019 I was a Bernie bro who had some objectively shit takes. The biggest 180 I did was probably on the sex trade. I used to be for it as a horny teen like “huh? Did someone say SeX?? Well it’s all ConSeNsUAL so why cockblock someone from getting some PuSsY?” Obviously now I realize that’s a disgusting sentiment and that most people in the industry are not happy and would rather do anything else. Just because a few are happy with their line of work, it doesn’t make it right to force so many others into a position where they feel abused and humiliated or threatened. “Legitimacy of industry” in terms of prostitution always means lining the pockets of abusive pimps (physical or anything else) who will use the opportunity to get rich and usually fund illegal markets (source: Look at Nevada). Enough about me, what topics have become more clear to yall after becoming a communist? I could probably list a few others but I’m interested in seeing what yall say.

I became an atheist and hardcore antitheist when I was somewhere in the range of 10-12 years old. I blamed religion for all of the world's suffering. I'm still an atheist, but I've relaxed on the outright antitheism after becoming a Marxist in my mid 20s.

I still think the ideal human society would be free of religion, but I no longer think it's something that can or should be changed through brute force.

I remember reading a quote recently regarding materialism and religion. Something along the lines of "the existence of God is the material reality in x country." If someone knows what I'm talking about, please link it

I agree, I used to be Catholic then hard-core atheist that wanted to make fun of religion (to a SMALL SMALL extent, I still like SOME parts of the movie Religilous by Bill Maher, even tho he sucks) basically an r/atheism guy. Thank God I matured a bit to not be hostile towards people who mean well
