How bad would west mainstream news freak the fuck out if this was proposed in China.

Is this an effort to try to reach out to the Liberals using alternative-family adjacent words?

“I’m poly” might just mean something very different in the future…

Thank you, comrade, for your thoughts and insights into this. I am someone who did think that left spaces are infighting too much and right spaces are unified. As I’m sure is common.

But between your post and a couple of comments, I think that is something I should reconsider.

The public shaming of politicians does seem to be different, however. And that does put out an aura of unity. But of course, looks are deceiving. And I can’t stand hanging out in right-wing spaces, so I’ve never witnessed the internal turmoil myself.

What’s the evidence of the actual words spoken? I CLEARLY hear “I don’t give a fuck about Gaza…” But not much more.

One randomly cited article has different words, but no evidence outside the video boy what she says, and I have ears so…

All the other shitlibs online calling out “missinformation” as if the exact words some shitlib yelling at a toddler (about Gaza, since, you know, that’s why the dad was there…) Changes anything. A distraction at best.

This reads the exact same as whoever it was that said that price gouging and scalpers are good actually.

Everything you hate is actually good for you, and anything that you strive for is actually bad for you. Just lick the boot and be happy that it’s high quality leather, you little peon.

The Marxist Internet Archive being cited right below prolewiki is just the icing on the cake.

Yes, yes, yes Wikipedia is absolutely garbage and all that.

Laughing fucking my ass off??? Once I read that in my head, I just couldn’t stop laughing at that.

Too bad the majority of the article was pure propaganda.

Libs are having a hard time with Chinas success and need to find any reason to demonize them.

I feel ya comrade. The isolation feels real.

Literally just survivorship bias!

The ones who survived to grow old were the ones that benefited from the system. Thus they think the system did just fine. Because for them, it did!

Literally me haha

My own experience with local organizing in the Imperial Corps is similar but different in important ways.

The local communist group is trying to be active in impactful wats, especially around Palestine, which is awesome. At the end of the day, we work with a ton of people that are not communists, which is great! We’re trying to bring people in, and after all, the group that we are directly participating in is a pro-Palestine group, not communist directly.

But many of the core members seem to have a lot more emphasis on building “us”, instead of helping Palestine. And that has rubbed a bunch of people, including me, the wrong way. In fact, they aren’t necessarily ultra-communists that are armchair theorists, but unfortunately they just aren’t seemingly doing the work that the public actually wants.

To be fair, organizing around my area is really tough. There’s a ton of anarchists who would rather just light fires and walk away than do what we would call principled work, communist or not.

Don’t feel bad about not wanting to participate in the purists or the ones that maybe don’t have their heart in the right place. It’s totally fine, and it doesn’t make you a liberal, and I don’t think anybody on here is gonna think less of you for it.

Okay, feels like three per day is still a lot. Nobody’s out there writing three books per day. Unless this is, like, a publisher limit.

Also I’m pretty sure I bought one of those AI books, for embedded development, a while ago. I would be pretty pissed off about it, but actually it was so poorly formatted and weird that bit was pretty funny. It was like 12 bucks for a joke.

Now it’s a good way to show to people that AI generated slop even exists in book space, a cheap lesson.

I got the proper textbooks too, so I did get the information I was looking for.

I’m gonna keep in mind what you and others have said that this is nothing new and I don’t have to panic. At least I know this wave will pass like every other.

It sucks though. I feel unironically red-pilled. Just a different perspective on things and it’s weird.

I used to have such strong positive feelings for Democrats and such strong negative feelings for Republicans and I remember literally feeling back in the day that I could not imagine feeling any differently. Now I hate them both (for sifferent reasons) and that’s just a weird feeling.

Jesus Christ.

Queue the parenting quote.

If China was doing this the west would call it genocide.

Fucking got me! Expert trolling here.

forgot to look at this community name for a second!

Oh boy, yeah, I was in high school around that time. Not super conscious about things, but man, I can imagine that the internet of the day was certainly on fire.

Yeah, the long story short about that is I have made some strides and joined FRSO and have talked to some people, and even was organizing until life caught up recently (medical, work). The group is very small, very limited where I am and I’m outside the city nowadays, so it’s a lot harder for me to do in-person events.

Im planning getting re-involved, but that’s gonna take awhile unfortunately.

Too real!
