It’s possible that people can actually be former leftists/socialists/communists/etc and have “left the left” so to speak. I’ve been noticing here that the common response to this will be “they were never really leftists/socialists/etc. anyways” or “they were never really serious to begin with.” It’s possible...
In recent years, we’ve seen it with Russia, China, Palestine, and now Yemen. I wonder when we’ll see the racism resurface from otherwise “liberal” people in the future
I remember this when it happened. Sooo many people were saying “we tried this, it doesn’t fucking work” but the stupid ass doctors didn’t listen. No wonder people are losing faith in medicine, it’s cuz of shit like this.
2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...
Today I spoke to a coworker who had bad experiences with doctors and was seeking recommendations for a new one, then other coworkers chimed in, and so I decided to ask you guys as well. Well, not for a doctor recommendation, but about your bad experienced with doctors?...
Even by their own “alpha chad” standards these guys are complete “betas” (they don’t have strong jawlines, look shorter than 6ft, and don’t seem very built/muscular/lean). How tf did they think this was a win?
I mean you do have to be tactical when talking to others. You need to gauge what level they are roughly at before you use certain “buzzwords.” For example, you might want to say an industry is “mostly dominated by guys” instead of using phrases like “white cis male patriarchy” with some people because it WILL trigger them. Same thing when talking about racism. We all know what “white supremacy” means but to your average normie they think only of the KKK and stuff like that. Same with terms like “systemic racism” or whatever. I hate to say it, but it’s kind of a game of cat and mouse. We always have to be ready to phrase things differently because once we settle on something, the right will figure it out and then run their media on overdrive to let their base know what buzzwords to watch out for.
I mean before I was where I am today just saying Stalin or Mao would have triggered me to think of the “millions that died” or whatever. At some point you do have to be open about your views but that doesn’t mean you need to bombard someone immediately with words like “bourgeoisie” or “dictatorship of the proletariat” or “means of production” right from the get go. Even something as banal as “material conditions” requires the other person to kind of already know what you’re talking about in the first place.
Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the...
He usually doesn’t like to pirate from small companies or professors who are trying to make a living by selling books, but from millionaires & plenty of mega corps which already have loads of money, he feels like it’s the right move to pirate
Even if you paid for everything, most likely these professors are barely going to get anything out of it. They get into shitty contracts with big publishers. So unless they publish stuff on their own, you’re not really helping them by buying their books. Oftentimes, you can just email the profs and they’ll send you a free pdf of their stuff because they just want to get their ideas out there and don’t care too much about the money.
Question to the drug experts here: What exactly are they giving Biden before big events where they need him to be on his A-game?

So what's the next country that your average New York Times reader is gonna become racist against?
In recent years, we’ve seen it with Russia, China, Palestine, and now Yemen. I wonder when we’ll see the racism resurface from otherwise “liberal” people in the future
