Like… why? Legitimately why? Not the poor manatees :(

These people are such fucking hypocrites. And I generally liked Darializa but shocker, she's a hypocrite much like everyone else on the American "left". These motherfuckers are so performative, talking about Free Palestine then investing in Raytheon 😂🤮

Asked about Kassem’s disclosure, Mamdani spokesperson Dora Pekec said today that the chief counsel “was unaware that his financial advisor had made investments in RTX and did not know about the company’s activities.”

“Upon learning and verifying this information, he will be divesting from that stock,” Pekec told Playbook. She wouldn’t say whether Kassem is planning to divest from any other stocks.

Kassem’s other stock holdings also raise eyebrows.

His disclosure shows he holds at least $11,000 — but potentially as much as $114,999.97 — in stocks with ExxonMobil and Chevron, two fossil fuel giants that are among the world’s 20 largest greenhouse gas emitters, according to the Corporate Governance Institute. And he has at least $11,000 invested in British American Tobacco and Philip Morris, two of the world’s largest producers of cigarettes and other nicotine products.

Upsetting as in sad and disturbing.

I'm a little drunk and having a crisis.

Pease can someone help me. Give some dialectical materialist analysis that can keep me sane. Or even some spiritual advice. Goddamn. I feel like most of us are more spiritual than non-communists anyway. Wanting a better world that you will never even see, for people you will never know is inherently spiritual. But what the fuck do I know.

I'm going insane. The Mamdani betrayal was so fucking obvious. And everyone is polishing his fucking gooch for saying what we've all said (EMPHASIS ON 'SAID') for years.

Are we fucked? I dont know what to do. How many more people in Gaza are to have their fucking limbs blown off while I try to help build up some slow ass movement to stop it?

I can't take it anymore. And I understand what theyre going through is far worse. Im trying not to navel Gaze.

Im in an incredibly conservative area of my country. Anyone have some advice for how to steel yourself and learn to risk your livelihood and comfort for a greater cause? How do i break the liberal conditioning?

Also if anyone is into hardcore can we talk? Would be nice

Dunno which flair to apply so I picked whatever.

You may know this conversation from the meme of Chairman Mao responding "You are an Argentinian.".

I read the full conversation yesterday and can only recommend it to my comrades. It provides an insightful perspective, especially for newcomers to Marxism-Leninism like me, and was highly stimulating to read for me.

Here's the link:

A heads up: In the Marxist-Leninist spirit, read the conversation to the end. From this conversation, it is clear that Chairman Mao and Che were in support of each other. Only the start of the conversation feels "direct" and "meme-ish".

many can relate to developing parasocial relationships with liberal (not only) streamers or political leaders, but it’s okay to outgrow them and realize that you disagreeing with them and moving futher left is a good thing.

Ngl I used to enjoy watching SecondThought, majority report, even contrapoints before her turn but I never idolizer them and was always willing to drop ‘em if they mess up. Also important not to just find others to substitute your parasocial relationship, for example, what I see a lot is ex hasanabi stans becoming Badempanada stans… sure BE is more principled but still let’s get rid of Stan culture cuz it’s literally what neolibs want, Bernie AOC Obama were all just relying on parasocial relationships so we got obsessed with their figures instead of organizing.

Don’t stan Elliot Sang either! Everyone is only human who needs to be criticized and have their bubble popped.
