شكرا لك.

I keep trying to translate into Arabic, but it’s a really bad translation. May God protect you and your loved ones. A new day will dawn eventually and I’m sorry I can’t offer more comfort than that.

Someone ping me when Coffee comes on. Look of Silence was just screened recently and I can’t do it again.

Trump legitimized the occupation of the Golan Heights, moved our embassy to Jerusalem, and assassinated Suleimani. I don’t think he’d be doing anything appreciably different right now.

Looks like Forge, is actually Grail.

There are a lot of particulars in play in different places and times. Like peasants might own their land in a functional sense of being entitled to what it produces (minus what is owed to someone else - but this is still different from rents because it would typically be taxation payable “in kind” rather than in currency.), but they might also be bound to that land, unable to legally move where they live.

It really is difficult to apply the framework of capitalist ownership, enclosure, proletarianization, etc. In places where those things either hadn’t happened or had only happened unevenly and hadn’t become dominant for the majority of agricultural laborers. I think one of the big reasons that communist revolutions have largely been successful in still-industrializing, largely agrarian states is that in such a context a lot of a country’s productive base is still held in distributed control by peasants.

Now, because categorization is inexact and the development of economic systems is different in every case, there are numerous cases in history where some section of the peasant, i.e. primarily subsistence agricultural class had more land they had rights to than they could farm themselves or had the necessary funds to employ people without the rights to their own land (or some land less than their capacity to work it) in effectively wage labor.

There are similarities to proletarian labor given the nature of ownership versus work, but proletarian labor has its one unique characteristics. It also bears some resemblance to landlordism, but because the wealthier peasants did not own the land that their workers lived on, the nature of this relationship is different. It’s not that the agricultural laborers need to pay rents to work the land, it’s that they need the income to subsist.

Of course this is a vulgar generalization and I am no expert on the matter. There are myriad specific different examples of what we might call “landholding peasantry” in contrast to some other landless peasantry.

Genuine: It is a song to teach children about common livestock and identifying their sounds as part of their socialization and education. It probably made more sense when more people lived in agricultural families.

The fire of the oppressed’s desire for liberation cannot be starved as long as the oppression continues. The wildfire only finds purchase when it is not given more fuel.

We should try to stick together and not quibble over little stuff

You misrepresented Mao and are actually wrecking

How did I augur that this thread would get long?

What if I just got better without having navigate healthcare? Like all I have to do is stop responding to my triggers. Should be easy.

Signed up for an OCD treatment program and then find out that they won’t take my insurance. Maybe I can figure out something else on the call? Who knows how expensive this shit could be.

I suppose most people don’t wake up with wounds. Just a burn it seems pretty clear what happened. Thus are the wages of drinking vodka.

Thank you all for your words. I am prolly not going to kill myself.

Folks I am on the verge of killing myself.

I know I’m feeling very bad because I’m listening to Modest Mouse. I’m pretty sure Isaac Brock is a piece of shit, but he’s really good at expressing being sad. There was a period of my life where I sat at a laptop browsing 420chan and listening to good news for people who love bad news and it was one of the worst periods of my life. I don’t really want to revisit that, but I kind of don’t know who I am anymore? Like that was a guy. I also read a lot of pictures for sad people, which doesn’t even exist anymore.

Modest mouse got me to read Bukowski, who is definitely an asshole. But I did get what he was saying. I don’t know what else to say. Modest mouse is a decent band.

She’s in my top three saints for sure. I think Francis edges her out from the top, even though he was a little odd.
