If we let this opportunity to agitate pass us by, we are fucking stupid.
  • This is one obstacle to left organizing in the States I think gets ignored. Americans have no sense of community, because Americans hate each other. Including the leftist ones. You see it here, we call Amerikkkans Burgerbrained hogs, but now you want me to organize these hogs? I fucking hate them, and they hate me. My ultimate goal is to fuck off to a cabin in the woods away from these pathetic creeps, and you want me to put my life on the line trying to give them help they largely don't want?

  • Do you keep a list of people who you want to send to *the mines* once the revolution comes?
  • The list is just the entire US population, including myself. Please send me to the mines, I don't want to write poetry!

  • If we let this opportunity to agitate pass us by, we are fucking stupid.
  • There's really no orgs with the resources to do anything in the US. In most cities the left can barely pull off a crappy soup kitchen.

    I mean yeah we should try and do something, but I'm not going to lie to people about their prospects. And honestly it may be better for peoples mental health to accept defeat than struggle on in futility, at least then you can matt-grillin

  • No offense DirtyOwl but you're an Aussie. Idk what it's like in Australia, but on the ground here things are pretty dismal. All the Libs are scratched, the DNC already seems to be formulating a right wing shift, there's no leftist infrastructure to take advantage of.

    I've lived through like 4 moments in history that should have been a wake up call to Libs, they never work. There no working class party in the US because there no demand for one, even in marginalized communities. And it's not just propaganda, it's the will of the people, American hogs love being atomized, narcissistic, individualistic consumers and will lash out at anything that threatens that.

  • List your predictions for the next 6 months here
  • I'm still kinda in the "nothing ever happens" camp. I think Libs are gonna get egg on their face when Trump mostly just governs like a regular ass Republican. Things get worse but there's not 1984 style dystopia.

  • Good! Most of those places suck.
  • There's a Greek place near me that technically has dine in but everyone just gets take out.

    I'm probably gonna get that tomorrow night now.

    Now is the perfect opportunity for the left. Remind people that the Democrats won't protect them from people like Trump. Organise and strengthen your community. Give people hope.
  • Nah. There's nothing the left can do right now that wouldn't just make us more unpopular. I'm in full third Worldist mode now. Congrats FBI you did a good job!

  • Now is the perfect opportunity for the left. Remind people that the Democrats won't protect them from people like Trump. Organise and strengthen your community. Give people hope.
  • They're default libs because it's in their material interest. That's not going to change, at least not for a little bit.

  • Who they gonna blame now?
  • Yes, I, a solid blue state resident, did this.

  • Now is the perfect opportunity for the left. Remind people that the Democrats won't protect them from people like Trump. Organise and strengthen your community. Give people hope.
  • We live in the digital age, everyone is online. IDK where everyone gets this idea that online libs dissipate into ether when they log off.

  • Now is the perfect opportunity for the left. Remind people that the Democrats won't protect them from people like Trump. Organise and strengthen your community. Give people hope.
  • I wish I had the faith you did, but all I'm seeing right now is everyone blaming the left for this. Libs are pissed and openly wishing for Palestinians to get bombed and immigrants deported. I don't see any path for socialists to take here besides just cracking open a beer and hoping China invades soon. I may need to grab a six pack. Nah fuck that a case.

  • Now is the perfect opportunity for the left. Remind people that the Democrats won't protect them from people like Trump. Organise and strengthen your community. Give people hope.
  • It sounds like you haven't talked to a liberal in the last 12 hours.

    I have

    They're fucking ripe

    Really? I've just been seeing them dig their heels in and get even more reactionary. I have about as much faith in the American people as I do a in a dried up dog turd.

  • I fucking hate group projects

    Even if everyone in your group is trying to put the effort in and not a flake, arranging meetings in our modern world is a pain in the fucking ass, especially if you all have day jobs.

    But if on top of that you do have one or several people in the group who are flaky, or lazy, or just suck at doing research you're put in this shitty situation where you either have to nag their ass to work, or just do their work for them. Which then leads to you being tempted to act like a cop and NARC on them to the prof in order to protect your own grade.

    The only time I've enjoyed group projects is when the prof set aside in class time to work on it, otherwise it's a shit show, I'll take writing a paper myself over this shit any day.

    As a cis male who mostly wears workwear, I have found myself with a truly puzzling question...

    What is the point of this little breast pocket near my left shoulder?

    I have like 10 t-shirts with a tiny breast pocket right over my left nipple, and what am I supposed to put in there? I've never put fucking anything in this pocket, but it's always there with a tiny tag from whatever manufacturer made the shirt.

    That whole "protect cryptocurrency investments so black men who make them know their money is safe" thing feels way too one the nose to me.

    I can't help but think there's a late 20s lanyard dork who posts on r/neolib and has a Twitter handle with a Taiwan flag is in some semi-influential position in Harris' campaign who slipped that in as an "epic own" to us "Bernie Bros" who "harass" him online.
