Maybe. I assumed her BF's family were regular Canadian shitlibs but she told me before the dad buys Black Rifle Coffee and I'm assuming there's no one apolitically buying that coffee.

My sister is hosting Christmas and letting her BF's dad cook a lot of it, i. e. explicitly non-veganizing it so mynMom and I gotta' make a bunch of food for ourselves now. Can't even give me vegan whipped/mashed potatoes. And she's usually good about trying to accommodate me.
Posts in estranged parents' forums are vague. Members recount stories with the fewest possible details, the least possible context. They don't recreate entire scenes, repeat entire conversations, give entire text exchanges; they paraphrase hours of conversation away. The only element they describe in detail is their own grief or rage. Nor do the other members press them for more information.
Compare this with the forums for adult children of abusers, where the members not only cut-and-paste email exchanges into their posts, they take photos of handwritten letters and screenshot text conversations. They recreate scenes in detail, and if the details don't add up, the other members question them about it. They get annoyed when a member's paraphrase changes the meaning of a sentence, or when omitted details change the meaning of a meeting. They care about precision, context, and history.

Reading this site since someone linked it was on Reddit talking about how reactionary boomers perceive the world.
Also was a Disney-Adult, in a way.
Literally longing for like 2020, 2021 at this point. Every year since then has gotten worse for me and I think the world too.
Yeah, internet nazis spend an inordinate amount of time complaining online and then the shitlib mods these companies barely pay to censor the left way more, tilting the field. I also think leftists who are less fascistically libidinal and more self-conscious avoid getting into seemingly useless internet arguments in general.
That's what BlackMoldFutures was.
They probably are categorizing it more by what order they think people should read them and less how complicated they are, per se. The beginner category seems to have more rhetorical value getting people interested in MLism I guess?
Edit: Would put Capitalist Realism in the intro though if that's the case and the Stalin stuff after it. I don't know. I can almost tell this is made by a 20-something marxist-leninist who's probably excited to recommend what other people should read but aren't particularly well-read themselves.
Redditors on the digital minimalism subreddit won't shut up about phone addiction and algorithms and stuff being used to affect people's mentalities and eat up their time. And then some one posted about sexuality and porn being used to do the same (on social media, etc.) and the majority of the 40+ comments were either skeptical or calling them a prude.
Immediately turned into non-minimalists as soon as it was their personal treats being critiqued.
I would like you to know you just got copy-pastaed.
Gunna' lose my mind trying to argue with anti-carbon tax, pro-tariff conservafascist dipshits.
Also bike lanes.
