Merkel I could settle for Scholz

pandemic-level danger

🤣🤮🤣 it’s like a pandemic, but not an actual pandemic 🔥🌐🔥

how has no one mentioned “10 days that shook the world” by john reed??? Absolute page turner

comrade @[email protected] dropped an excellent list https://lemmy.ml/post/22417306

ask any questions you have the moment you have them. and if somethings too hard or something else catches your eye its ok to deviate. It is a very good recommendation but not a prescription.

man I kept scrolling through a lot of nazi groups, report them, look at what other groups their members had subscribed to and repeat.

Unless they openly said “we are nazis and hate x” nothing would happen. Worst were the DoD:S groups openly larping as SS commandos, but they’re just “roleplaying” I guess and never got removed.

I read it rather clearly as depression but I guess external hardship makes more sense? It is pretty vague so I think any reading is valid, but it never occurred to me that it could be anything but SAD.

Like the cat is their companion, it looks out for them. The person is dreading the upcoming season (symbolised by the changing of the weather), the cat (stand-in for emotional support) acknowledges this, at the same time tells the person they’re not alone (hence using “we”) and that whatever is ahead the cat shares in the highs and the lows.

Or that the cat is the persons imagination, I try to look at my psyche from the outside like this when I know my rational side is not getting a word in edgewise because my emotional side is taking up all the space.

wait what is it about?

Also I love the idea of a festival at the darkest point like “alright we made this far, it’s the lowest point, lets celebrate there’s nowhere to go but up” but somehow it became the most stressful and hated time of the year for me.

Started later for me this year, 6 weeks before winter solstice. That means it should be over around early February for me.

None of that implies that fucks is a complete field sadly. If that were the case every bounded sequence of fucks would have an accumulation point. Which actually checks out, if you keep all your fucks within a certain range they’re bound to get focused on something. So never mind fucker is isomorphic to the complex field.

the bureaucrat is numerous and belligerent

I mean it certainly was for duration of my life. Princess Diane, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Michael Schumacher etc. all had these really intrusive and disgusting stories plastered everywhere about them.

they were also very heavily anti-depp and got regularly invaded by other subs for it

But even then celebrity gossip is like “Is this royal pregnant?? ” and not “Elon Musk is a union-busting fascist!!”

Hate audiobooks even more than digital ones lol but I really do appreciate the effort thank you and the anonymous comrade!!

I should finally order paper for printing that darn book…

🔥🔥🔥🔥 it finally dropped 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Idk, what broke me into leftism was “Wage Labour and Capital” and what sealed the deal was “Socialism: From Utopian to Scientific”. It wasn’t the freshness of the ideas that blew me away but how solid and rigorous the foundations are.

Before that I thought lefties just turn the “social programs” dial to 11 and the infighting was about how to best turn that dial and how social programs should work. To see such a rigorous approach to politics blew my socks off and broke with all my preconceived notions.

Not having ADD even though “there’s a pill for that”

the beginning of the redemption arc? I hear every anarchist mention “The Conquest of Bread” by Kropotkin, it’s gotta be good I just haven’t gotten around to reading it.
