honestly...? my aesthetic

literally swiping left on every guy on tinder because none of them mention anarchism or communism on their profiles

What can I do to help the people in Yemen??

"To beg the question is to assume the truth of the conclusion of an argument in the premises in order for the conclusion to follow."

i feel like consumerism is entirely based on people's attachment to worldldy desires and refusal to let the ego die and attain nirvana tbh

"Queen" Victoria is one of the worst people to ever grace this Earth and wilfully inflicted suffering and death upon millions of people and a legacy that would do the same on billions more. Her empire was obsessed with the stratification of people into genetic/racial hierarchies and caused death to millions and I see absolutely no reason why she should be treated with any more sympathy than Adolf Hiter.

I find a problem with #Esperanto is that by virtue of having a large chunk of its learners being English-speakers, the language in informal settings gets peppered with really weird calques which are taken directly from English, like "ĝi iras sen dirante" or "mi estas OK"

In the USSR, Socialism presented an alternative to Capitalism in the field of mass production via rapid industrialisation. Now that that's gone, multinational corporations are seen as the only way to efficiently produce material goods and create jobs and skills outside of agriculture. This has given multinats huge leverage with states, which are beholden to multinationals with shrinking wages and deregulation. What alternative can the Left today truly provide? Hacker spaces and communal gardens?

Jobless and penniless with no idea how I'm going to be able buy any food today. Sick of this.

what if the rise of mental illness is the result of an economic system that actively seeks to reduce the availability of things which keep our minds in a healthy stasis, like community, fulfillment, purpose, so those things can be sold back to us like a carrot on a stick

@celesteh i don't think any charlie hebdo publication ever bore the slogan 'no gods' so i don't get where this is coming from

and organised religion of all shades has been used to justify oppression so i think a critical dosposition towards it is warranted

@celesteh Do you have some examples I could look at? I would be very interested in seeing how this is used against different religious groups, the perceived rise in bigotry in the left concerns me.

@celesteh "no gods" is the cry of people like me have been oppressed horrendously throughout life because of organised religion and the fact that you would say that this act of agency somehow makes me a bigot against jews and muslims is downright ignorant

@celesteh I am saying this as someone raised as a Catholic in Northern Ireland where I watched my friends go to primary (elementary) school harrassed by right-wing protetants who threatened to bomb them, threw balloons of urine at them, and shoved priest/nun fetish pornography in their faces because they were children going to a catholic school in a protestant area

and also as someone who has listened to catholic teachers day vile things about "the gays", including myself

@celesteh i have to disagree with this, sorry

only someone from a background where they haven't been discriminated against or oppressed because of the religious beliefs of themselves or other people could make this logical leap of faith

i might write a short article explaining the difference between various strains of socialism (leninism, trotskyism, maoism, etc) and how socialism differs from anarchism so people could use it as a reference because there seems to be a lot of confusion around the two

good idea y/n?

make mastodon as unappealing to brands as possible
