I invoke the communes of Venezuela, when you break them down it's clear to anyone that the process is more democratic than electoralism in the west. It's an actionable example because they exist despite the country struggling.

Of course if you're invoking Venezuela to an antisocialist you have a whole other bag of worms to deal with.

Yeah word I'm following you now, still tho. Hasans net worth isn't exactly a banksworth. Assuming his position in good faith wouldn't it be fair to say taking on the American government with $8 mill (total networth) is a little ill advised? Funding revolutionaries with stated goals of changing the government is going to entail a bunch of legal and operational costs on top of paying the revolutionaries to live.

I guess I can see that he's probably the person closest to being able to do that at all, and its disappointing that he thinks so little of the process.

Who else theorymaxxing their toddler?

In all seriousness I picked this up as a bit and then started collecting by the rest of the 'philosophy friends' series. Apart from the weirdly inconsistent art style they are tolerable reads.

One person with influence can't build the vanguard right? You need multiple dedicated and disciplined hands. You can only buy so much discipline

I'll defend Hasan as a generally positive influence on yankee politics but I would not defend his fans nor trust them to build the vanguard

yes daylight savings time conspires against parents. you just get used to one schedule and suddenly you're getting interrogated as to why the sun isn't where it's supposed to be.

similar to the loop I get caught in trying to explain why the moon is visible in the sky late afternoon, which she's pretty sure shouldn't be able to happen. 'but the moon's for night!'

I just wanna praise Luna Oi for anyone observing who hasn't watched her. She was part of my transition from breadtube-to-theory years ago and I remember discussing her in online circles, before being told not to listen to her because she's a nasty tankie.

This sweet lil Vietnamese woman, a nasty authoritarian tankie. It was one of the first interactions that made me examine that term more closely.

No dictators for me, thanks. Just a dictatorship of capital, please.

Well that's not fucking good is it. Feeling like there was a deep political shift in Venezuela following the kidnapping and I was just coping when I believed they were still committed to their revolution.

no fucking way man that's invoking the dead guinea pig copypasta with the snake

Ping me up brother. Always glad to see parents reaching out to each other. I'm having my coffee out in the cold rn trying to mentally prepare myself for the Sunday ahead. I just have the one four year old but each day gets a little harder to get through energy-wise.

Thinking about how much harder it would be to sell the mass rape narrative if the attacking peoples were white

like almost everyone I know thinks its a given that Hamas has systemic rape policies, despite Islam revering women as pure goddesses (for better or worse)
