Yet.

Remember, they expanded the draft age just last week. You know, for no reason at all. /s

Liberals are gonna be seething if their kids eventually get drafted for a hot war with China under Trump. It’ll be our job to remind them that the draft expansion was introduced by a fucking Democrat.

No lie though, escargot wasn’t bad when I tried it. Like a grassy oyster.

Even then, “positive stereotypes” embraced by a community still cause a lot of harm, especially when those stereotypes originate outside the community. Like Asians being “model minorities” or Black men having “BBCs”

Democrats aren’t trying to win. They’re doing what their ruling class constituents want and paving the lane for the Republicans to drive over.

Dice up a sweet potato into an oven safe pan and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, and whatever spices you like (I like to use paprika, chipotle, cayenne). 400 degree oven. After 25 minutes take it out, create some space, and crack some eggs in the space (may have to add a little more oil). Bake for 5-7min, depending in how done you like your eggs.

Easy healthy breakfast that fits in one pan and doesn’t take too long. You can prep the sweet potatoes the night before and do other things while it cooks. I like to add an avocado too at the end.

Just wanna say I feel ya. I also got a new job and for the first time in my adult life I will be outside of the “official” poverty line. But with that I have had to let my organizing take a backseat as I acclimate and attend to a bunch of other personal transitions. I simply just don’t have as much time and energy to do both. I have moments where it’s not easy to reconcile.

Congrats on the new opportunity comrade.

Congrats comrade! Quitting is no easy task, especially when you’ve engaged in the addiction for years

RevLeft just did an excellent episode on Marx’s analysis of both Napoleon’s and their relevancy to the current state of the US

If you just compare their administrations in terms of their material effect, Biden has objectively been more evil than Trump. He has started more wars, is responsible for magnitudes more death, has overseen further strengthening of the police state, and has gifted even more working-class wealth to the billionaire class.

The lesson to draw is that no matter who is president, Amerikkka will continue to accelerate into fascism and barbarism.

And now it’s the Zionist Entity recycling the same barbarity on Gaza.

I was gonna recommend this as well! Lol

Really the book doesn’t have that much poly content. Important read for Mono couples as well. Most of it is breaking down your personal attachment anxieties. Highly encourage anyone with relationship issues – romantic or not – to read this.

All good comrade. Burnout is real. Be kind to yourself. More and more people join the movement every day, so don’t feel guilty for taking breaks where you can. Your health is important and someone will eventually be there to fill in the gaps.

One possible way for this shit not to escalate to nuclear armageddon is if these death cultists are given an off-ramp where they stand to benefit from the new global paradigm. Hella unsatisfying.

Basic necessities cost way too fucking much, let alone small luxuries. And your society is gaslighting you into thinking that the genocide you’re watching is actually totally cool and super normal. So get back to work, keep buying things, and stream some more pop culture garbage content.

It’d be crazy if you weren’t feeling burnt out and dysregulated.

That’s such a succinct definition. Reminds me of the left-wing version of libertarians who constantly say “well, that’s not real capitalism.”

It straight up baffles me that there are some notable Black communists in the US that actually support this opportunist.

It would not be shocking in the slightest if West ended up being on CIA payroll to draw attention away from the actual socialist candidates running on the PSL ticket.

Our activism predictably has very little effect on the decisions of our imperialist leaders.

What our activism has done is shatter the narrative that upholds peoples’ allegiance to empire. Moreso than any other time in my life has an event created more communists and anarchists out of Western liberals. That isn’t really going to help the people of Gaza in this moment, sure, but imperialist days are definitely numbered now.

And even then, Israel (and the West in general) has completely and permanently lost any facade of “civility.”. The aging imperialists in charge are trying to recycle the same strategies from Korea, Vietnam, Panama, East Timor, and so on, except this time the entire world is watching and remembering. These massacres aren’t just something being read about in the paper. These soldiers are gleefully making tiktoks of their depraved war crimes while a senile American president fails to gaslight the rest of world that its not happening.

Even if the Palestinians are completely displaced from Gaza, it’s just a matter of time before the Israeli state is in ruins. The most powerful tool that imperialism has is the mask of legitimacy that upholds its narratives. And the US and Israel, as regimes in decline, will never be able to restore it. While things are pretty bleak and are bound to become more violent in the shorter term, the writing really is on the wall for the yankee empire.

Looks like you’re doing that thing where you develop healthy boundaries with your phone

Developing a happy outlook isn’t easy. It’s a skill that you need to practice and cultivate over time. Recognize that rage-bait and fascist content is stirring up unproductive emotions in you and that you do have some agency over which thoughts you choose to identify with and give attention to.

Read a little bit about stoicism if you’re unfamiliar with it.
