“You’ll have to be a miserable people one day so don’t get used to freedom.” That’s exactly why I don’t want to be on my phone.
What I mean is “reading and drawing and exploring outside and playing games are much more fun than whatever fake stimulation you get from a screen.”
I feel like it would be better to explain why too much time on tech is bad and encourage them to spend their time doing physical things or reading rather than acting like they “don’t deserve” it.
Time outs, revoking privileges (screen time, dessert, eating out, whatever) with warnings if they persist in doing something bad.
I went to a generic nursery recently and it’s depressing how few natives they have. You have to seek out the singular table.
Yet another fascism-y thing the US did before the people who call themselves fascist.
Insane sect that theocratically runs a state, relatively harmless cult disconnected from the real world, crazy cult that tried to take over the US government and other stuff (I know Evans is a fed, but I think I liked the behind the bastards Scientology series).
For breakfast I have a little bit of granola and fruit and lots of nuts. For lunch I have a carrot, more nuts, banana or orange, and pb+j or bagel. For dinner I have various things, commonly stir fried veggies with tofu.
This is basically what I was trying to say. The reply I got was “you’re not a Marxist, you’re a nationalist. If you fight US imperialism “””other imperialisms””” will fill the gap.”
If you want to see Stalin’s intelligence I suggest this interview: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1934/07/23.htm
Yes, that’s what I was thinking. Annoying they won’t accept a label, but what do I expect from a troll. Shouldn’t have made the conversation go there anyway.
Started with them try to lecture me about my understanding of Mao. These people learn a bit about a lot of stuff and then use it to troll people who actually support the real movement for socialism.
This is what you get when you constantly promote zizek.
Edit: there’s a reason why marxists don’t use hegel’s dialectics
I took it out of the meme to avoid seeming cluttered, but I must mention that they don’t just want USian corporations to have the monopoly. Renewables are at odds with capitalism and capitalists know oil is more lucrative than less labor intensive alternatives. Ted Reese makes a strong explanation for the lack of adoption of hemp and solar in SoE.

Just as the West failed to understand Russia, and was taken by surprise, so it is that the White House firmly ignores the Biblical ‘End of Times’ dimension to the Israeli ‘way of thinking about war’.
Tbf a lot of people just want a petty bourgeois vacation.
I’ve been on a socia media break, but I’ll post some memes.
Context: The first one, the character is avoiding going to his best friend’s house because he doesn’t want to see his wife who’s mutually in love with him. The second, Chernyshevsky randomly spends a super long amount of time talking about a type of person that he really likes which will have no bearing on the story.
This Existential Comics-like sketch popped into my brain while I was reading Capital. I'm not well-read enough to make their personalities and language very accurate, but I tried to get their ideas right.

Engels, Marx, Hegel, Descartes, and Spinoza are sitting together at table.
Engels: Thank you for coming to this meeting of enlightenment dialecticians. Today the topic of discussion will be “free will.” Does anyone want to start?
Descartes: Well, obviously we have free will because God is good, and he gave it to us. God created us and left us the world so that we could affect the world in ways that would decide whether we go to heaven.
Hegel: I agree to an extent, our free wills move forward history by making rational arguments advancing the world spirit. That does not mean we are just souls doing whatever we want. We pick rational choices in line with the dominant thinking of our society.
Marx: Religion may comfort people, but there is no god to give free will. Hegel’s sort of on track, but the limits on freedom are material not ideal. People have material conditions that greatly limit the choices they can make, but the masses ultimate move history forward, not simply ideas.
Descartes: What do you mean there’s no God? I literally proved it in my fifth meditation!
Marx: No, you didn’t, you idealist fool! There are no non-material things and nothing can be proved by pure reason.
Spinoza: I agree with Marx. We are all part of the one material world. However, that has implications for your argument too Karl. Our minds are material too, and therefore our actions are a result not only of outside conditions, but also the material that makes up our minds is also a part of God. Thus, we are ourselves nature acting out deterministically, and free will is an illusion.
Descartes: What God are you talking about?!
Engels: Ignoring Descartes, You are not wrong, though the wills of humanity still move forward history toward communism regardless of if they are free.
Spinoza: True enough.
Hegel: What do you mean forward to communism? I live in the end of history. There is nothing beyond constitutional monarchy.
Marx: You bourgeois idealist bastard!
Marx gets out of his seat and goes to flip Hegel on his head.
Engels: That’s enough everyone. He mutters under his breath. I should’ve picked a different topic.
In this episode, we examine the myth that prison is built for profit. That is, the myth that mass incarceration is driven by private profit above all else. Although there are certainly profiteers within the prison industrial complex, prisons operate at a loss. Therefore, in part 1 of this series, we...
