i normally shave while i shower, i use a double edge razor and put that conditioner for your hair (letting it soak for a couple minutes, where i lather my body in soap in the meanwhile) on my face, but then again i don't have alot of facial hair. i heard the conditioner makes the hair softer to cut?

maybe helpful?

"What are the strategic consequences of decisively rejecting the tripartite social theory advanced by Orwell, and adopting Marx’s all-encompassing one instead? The basic call to action looks something like this:

  1. Stop accusing the masses of being “brainwashed.” Stop treating them as cattle, stop attempting to rouse them into action by scolding them with exposure to “unpleasant truths.”
  2. Accept instead that they have been avoiding those truths for a reason. You were able to break through the propaganda barrier, and so could they if they really wanted to. Many of these people see you as the fool, and in many cases not without reason.
  3. Understanding people as intelligent beings, craft a political strategy that convincingly makes the case for why they and their lot are very likely to benefit from joining your political project. Not in some utopian infinite timescale, but soon.
  4. If you cannot make this case, then forget about convincing the person in question. Focus instead on finding other people to whom such a case can be made. This will lead you directly to class analysis."

You can’t be doing well if it seems like an improvement to base your life and your sense of self on a demonizing slander that you know is only a fantasy. To challenge that fantasy, to identify it as nothing more than that, is to threaten to send them back to whatever their lives were like before they latched onto this desperate alternative.

That suggests to me that if we are to have any hope of disabusing them of their fantasies, then we will need to recommend some third alternative, something other than the lie or the reality that had seemed even worse. https://redsails.org/false-witnesses/

i would guess it stems from the desire to rebel against the authority and perceiving the state as unjust, they (correctly) see the capitalist government unjustly enforcing the law on them, and see the communists as doing something similar but under the banner of the hammer and sickle.

i was listening to Matt Christman of Chapo Trap House on the spanish civil war episode, where he talks about how the anarchist ideology came from some russian noble who went to the serfs villages and rebelled against the royalty (iirc) - i guess it would make sense to the anarchist that they see communists as something akin to royalty in regards of the structures of authority.

it makes sense to me i guess, i think about all the media produce with marvel superheros and stuff - so i presume the anarchists see all forms of authority as bad, and see sides as good and bad as oppose to people acting in material interests. especially when the authority in america like the police fuck with people so badly it polarises people to be staunch anti structure framework kind of mindset

wait you are the legendary nathan nun art? neat love your stuff you sexywheat you

 

i saw it said and it is reposted on ml blogs or self proclaimed stalinists blogs, but can't find it on the search engine for marxists.org or marx2mao

though marxists.org is a trot org iirc

closest thing i can find is some stuff on google books

edit okay so it looks like lenin replies with this phrase maybe?

edit 2

okay my acrobatics with the google search engine is mid but i seem to be getting somewhere

edit 3 okay so stuff gets difficult cause i don't speak russian (in Russian). Dushenko K.V. Russkie politicheskie citaty ot Lenina do Yeltsina: chto, kem i. kogda bylo skazano Russian Political Quotes from Lenin to Y.. (google preview cuts out there)

edit 4 so i think, after i translated the thing and maneuvered the search bar function that the paragraph comes from the ***russian *** book "Dushenko K.V. Russian political quotes from Lenin to Yeltsin: what was said, by whom and when."

edit 5 was watching kay and skittles "judas and the black messiah" and thinking to myself about how much of a massive hater vibe this puts off

dude is a life long democrat according to his website.

e. in hindsight i feel like this is punching down, and i don't like it - i just don't know where to post it

edit. i need to specify this is the party of democrats who are the uncommitted, and believe the democrat party is the best avenue for helping the palestinians by push harris to embargo and ceasefire

 

i am in the core committee talking to a dude in the committee which is a palestine advocacy group, we were about covid 19 and i suggested we should implement mandatory masking policies for indoor events, after half our leadership was down with an illness. we are also in a summer surge

he has some kind of medical degree, and worked in long term care as a medical officer of some sort. I'm kind out of depth with this rhetoric tbh,

his comments

It is normal to get sick once a year and, in fact, healthy because it helps train your immune system. Some years you won't get sick, other will be twice.

Covid doesn't cause an impact on your immue system either. Sometimes you can be In a bit of a state of inflammation which happens in many viral infections. And long covid is a topic in itself. It has never been quantified by any and all testing except subjective

maybe he would be more receptive with super libbed up sources or something, i dunno what he would respect

honestly was looking for a jordan peterson equivilant of "clean your room" and workout sort of rhetoric - but coming from communists

something along the lines of theory/ logical thinking that would state how required it was to work out and develop discipline - this was all rhetoric spurred after reading roderic day

 

noice

 

crunk ain't dead starts to play
