I finally started writing today. Like fully fledged fiction writing, that i finally found the inspiration for, and now I have to go to work. I'm genuinely angry rn I don't wanna stop

"A bowl is most useful when it is empty" - Lao Tzu

Hot take...?: Marx having Twitter would've been bad...?

But also Marx had bad takes occasionally anyway. That's the nature of being a person. So what do you do when someone makes mistakes? You criticize them and you work on it. And I'm certainly going to criticize someone who talks about a "sub strata" of humanity. The op didn't say "yugo is a nazi" they said "yugo tweets nazi shit." Which...he did. At the very least it's extremely ableist.

Also, there's a difference between "something might be wrong with these people" and "there's a substrata of humans who can't think correctly." In any case, it's just extremely shit logic, and even more shit logic to go "should I post this to my audience? Hell yeah!"

I know Mao says "no investigation no right to speak," but from what I've seen, it's basically been "proof by just look at it." Take Rosemedia for instance. They'll spend an entire video on one quote by Engels and then handwave away Vietnam and China as "they have mcdonalds."

The silver lining here, i think, is that this seems like they put a ton of resources and activated a lot of assets for this. With its failure, I wonder how long it'll be before the US and Israel can try such a thing again

Reminds me how Pax Romana, Pax Britanica, and now of course Pax Americana are all peace in terms of outright state on state conflict, but all were/are engaging in massive amounts of social murder and class war under that "peace"

I'm starting to realize my problem with BE is that he desperately wants to be taken seriously but simultaneously treats basically no topic or person with sincerity or seriousness

Nicaraguan authorities arrest dozens for reportedly supporting Maduro capture | Nicaragua | The Guardian https://share.google/q4F4DwvlACYTzhJjy

[Read: based]

I remember when George Floyd was murdered, and it shook me to my core. Now it's...unsurprising, although still horrible

Hey, is Maduro's wife actually being charged with anything? Or is she just being held because ??? Obviously the entire situation is bad but I feel especially bad for her.

Why not? Let's see

1.Simultanously I get called a coward for wanting to leave

2.More importantly, I don't have the money or support to leave. I can barely afford a plane ticket let alone everything else required, and that's not including friends and family I would really prefer not to leave behind.

It's stuff like this that bugs me. Stop talking to me like I don't know this stuff. And better yet stop accusing me of shit that I never said. I don't need validation or coddling or whatever other thing you're trying to project onto me. I just don't like being portrayed as some criminal for existing where i do or living in a country I don't even want to live in, or constantly being told that my fight is some sort of lost cause. Yknow how many times I've been told to "just leave the country?"
