Comrade, what is this nonsense? Don't know Marx advocated that the Spectre of Communism( socialism-spectre ) would guide the market, and only by liberalizing all industry and embracing free market economics can true communism ever be reached? /s

But is reverence the same as nostalgia? Sure, often nostalgia is an unclear yearning for the past, but it can have direct intent, and sometimes that yearning is related to the possibilities of the past had and that particular aspect still has merit for agitation, no? For this, I mean the possibilities of development provided by socialism. It is a fact that the situation for modern Eastern European countries is different, and the tactics should have differences, but if you're trying to argue for moving towards a socialist system, most would consider it a "return" due to having history with it. I'm not Eastern European, so I'm mostly speculating, but trying to detach from the soviet union and move on, to many laymen is the same as detaching from socialism, no? The goal wouldn't be returning to the USSR but returning to socialism.

This is like watching someone about to hang their queen in chess and seeing if they do it. It's actually insane they're considering this.

Give France to Haiti and break up Germany again for kicks in the mean time.

I've been finding myself struggling with insane levels of burnout over the past few weeks and was wondering how others navigate it. I used to feel similar burnout as a child/teen and just withdraw for months or at one point years at a time with minimal socialization or just let hyperfocus consume me and get absorbed into a singular hobby often at the detriment of other things. When both of those don't work I would just set myself up to be overwhelmed with an impossible stack of tasks to induce anxiety as a driver. The first two I feel I can't do anymore due to being a lot more disastrous in adult life and also antithetical to what my current goals are.

I recently finished a master's program and around when that high ended I noticed the burnout creep in. I am trying to set other goals such as organizing a local chapter of the org I joined but all of my current goals are hinged on other people and their pace which I don't want to rush but I feel this soul-deep exhaustion creeping in that I know tends to suck me into listless and lethargy. I can't fully rest, but can't charge forward to maintain the runner's high anymore either and it's driving me a bit nutty.

A thread here talking about "ahh" had an evil twin version appear on reddit-logo. Over here, just about all the criticism was against the idea of self-censorship and hating it based on that idea. Over on the other side, I saw a bunch of people hating it for that sure, but a bunch was also talking about how, "uneducated" it makes you sound and how it's similar to things like the "aks" pronunciation of ask, the phrase "gyat damn" or "finna". The whole time I'm reading that wondering if they're that unaware of where the association comes from or if they're just dog-whistling. Unlike their sweet dems, they seem almost unaware of how their behavior is akin to the smiling Fox. (Hint as to the common denominator between these terms: they're staples of AAVE).

Usually, I'm not too sensitive to microaggressions, having grown up on the internet, but sometimes I'd rather them just call me the slur and get it over with catgirl-disgust.

I do want to express thanks to folks here for somehow avoiding that, I think I read every comment in the thread here and didn't see it once.

I have more thoughts such as how it seems to interplay with respectability politics etc. but I would probably want to make this more coherent first and I'm typing this during my break at work. Mostly needed to vent. The real lesson is I need to avoid reddit-logo
