Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.
☭ Matrix homeserver and space
☭ Theory reading group on hiatus, will move to Lemmygrad next year
☭ Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna’s Archive, libgen
Sometimes I wish our party would be more into physical development as well. Maybe not too obvious but just behind the scene lifting groups or something. No offense to my comrades but there are practically no active lifters I know within the party in my region. I tried to bring this up on multiple occasions but never really got an answer.
My mom no-joke says that she is scared of the “Venezuelan gangs” that she reads and hears about all the time on the news. She says that she even gets scared whenever she hears a noise at night because of this. I even try to tell her that the media is trying to get her scared by blasting this stuff and that undocumented immigrants actually commit less crimes on average. Whatever I say, it all goes over her head.
The media has successfully tricked her into being scared of the evil scary brown people. It’s both very funny and very sad at the same time.
There really are people that think dying in a car crash is hereditable 🙄
Somewhat pleasantly surprised by the Pelicot case ruling today. It could be harsher but as far as I can see everyone involved got convicted which I found unexpected really.
I spoke to a Coptic priest and he said that Copts support Palestine. Good to know that middle eastern christians do support Palestine
“My world systems theory analysis says you should just give up, never try at anything and accept neoliberalism because hegemony means literally the Orwell quote. Accept it, tankie, communism has been mathematically disproven” (bullshit)
How the fuck do these people get up in the morning and actually think anything? How does someone with a worldview like that not just turn into a soulless husk? I dunno. Is this a new social tactic that feds spinned up in the 90s and are rebooting?
(quote in reference:)

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever” - after growing up in England
I wish US leaders have also internalized that, they will fail so miserably.
i thought mathenanatics is the number thing, how would calculating communism work
/j i am joking i mean
it’s quite disappointing that he would sign something like that
“The Salafist Social Republic has opened trade negotiations with Sweden for returning immigrant asylum claims and mining rights in exchange for billions of dollars. Israel has taken Golan to Al Bukamal and the government has yet to comment. Four new U.S military bases have been planned in the region.”
Sounds about right?
Hey but in theory Syria is free. Free to give away their country for sure.
Free like Libya or Russia in 90’s
I had been feeling fatigued for a while now and some days ago I remembered I didn’t take vitamin B supplements for a while now. I eat plant based and usually I get enough out of my food but it doesn’t hurt to take some in a while.
Anyway I have been taking them for a few days now and I honestly feel better lol. Check your vitamins these dark days y’all.
Reaching Christmas period and today I felt like putting on just a fall jacket. Like it was 13 degree Celsius man what the fuck lol. There was a strong wind which just felt like a warm hair dryer. I have flowers that are starting to grow on my balcony. Climate change is no joke.
Christmas shopping when you’re almost broke is not fun
First world problems but I have it reversed for the first time now where my family is doing pretty well. Now my brother’s partner came in with a big ass bag of presents. Must have been 15 or something. I immediately felt pressured to buy a lot of shit but I had no idea what. Figured I might as well just give one more expensive but sustainable gift for everyone. Doesn’t help that the people I celebrate with probably already have everything they need. It’s just wants at this point and tbh their wants are kinda trash lol.
Why can’t we just, idk, buy something simple instead of increasingly trying to impress others.
