YouTube. I’ll see if I can find it in my google history or something.

Man there was a video a while back about how echo chambers are actually probably not a huge factor in polarization in and of themselves, but that people are actually polarized when they encounter opinions in ways that drive them away from those opinions. Wish I could find it, it was really compelling and I can’t do the topic justice.

CeraVe always burns my skin and makes it all scaly and flaky by the next day, which is weird cause I don’t have a history of sensitive skin but I also have not yet ruled out that other products could be causing this sensitivity.

Had a good experience with Curél Ultra Healing lotion* however and when my skin is real sensitive, Vanicream always does the trick in moisturizing while giving my skin a chance to heal. Can vouch for the Vanicream cleanser as well.

*upon further research this is apparently a hand and body lotion lol but it’s non-greasy, non-comedogenic, with their ceramide complex and it works!! so w/e. The 1oz tube I got from dollar tree does not say where you are meant to use it and genuinely looks like a facial lotion 😆

Well it’s not about incentive but because people deserve to be paid for their labor more than the publisher deserves to make profit. If we’re talking about the evils of financial incentives then we really should be looking at the publishers, not the people doing work for them.

not a tankie

…cool? So glad you have an opinion about the 1956 Hungarian revolution and whether the Soviets sending in tanks to crush it was a reasonable reaction… not sure how that qualifies your opinion though.

Yes.

what the US did is doing to cuba…

Nah there’s definitely different universes/timelines in star trek. The series just have the one main timeline they follow.

The final season of Lower Decks was also a huge step into multiverse theory. So perhaps there is more to come.

Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. They have shown you who they are, believe them. They are a fund raising party, their only allegiance is to capital.

Yes. Mostly because it’s difficult to view the full content without logging in, and I refuse to do that on principle. Screenshots and mirrors are fine, I just don’t think we should be generating traffic to that site.

You’re right, that would be a concern if I felt important enough for China to give a fuck about me and what I have to say as a foreign national. Too bad that me only exists in your imagination and the real me understands that the world does not revolve around their travel and internet activity.

Fair enough on the description part but Ukraine is absolutely a proxy war on the US end of it.

That’s fair enough, what you’re doing is already far more than most people. That’s awesome. Just trying to show the audience out there that there is more to be done, we can’t allow defeatism to suppress activism in a country where fervent, unrelenting activism is the only way shit gets done 💪

Thanks comrade ✌️ same to you

agitprop gonna agitprop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ being propaganda doesn’t inherently make something bad, it’s what the propaganda is in service of. This propaganda is in service of leading America away from its fascistic, ecologically and socially destructive, global hegemony. I tend to think that’s pretty good but opinions may differ.

And yes sorry I got mixed up and thought you were replying to this comment. But in a way I did tell you to work outside of the system.

Here is the party website

Here is the party newspaper

And here is a media network that has deep ties with the party and frequently features party activists.

PSL

I’m doing exactly what I told you to do.

I am getting organized with a revolutionary party, doing outreach and education in my community, forming coalitions, marching in protests and chanting at rallies. I’m doing what exactly was done to win civil rights reform, women’s suffrage, the new deal, etc. etc. etc, and I’m doing so with a party that is prepared to lead the country should they ever get the chance to do so.

Lmao. “anchor” is a funny term to use when you’re the one too busy wallowing in your own sorrow to get out on the streets and fight for a better tomorrow.

Either fucking do something or live with it.

Yes, yes, you’ve chosen the latter, I’ve chosen the former and I’m giving you a kick in the ass to do the same. That is the premise of this conversation.

I don’t know what tomorrow will look like, but I do know one thing; a revolution sure as hell isn’t going to happen with such a defeatist attitude. If I’m going down, I’m going down fighting to the bitter end. I am not content to sit around and watch the world burn as I twist myself in knots trying to absolve my own personal guilt for being part of the problem.

Edit: I thought this was a different thread but I’m leaving it as is cause it fucking goes for you too.

Have you ever taken anything put out by the American state department at anything less than face value?
