No I like dbzer0 they just have some annoying lib users. Its not where I go to have high quality discussions but the memes are fine and a lot of the people are pretty good, some even comrades. I was looking at a post dragging HB, and there was one user who was malding about us and everyone else was like, “nah they’re good”

5. Its Java and this is a personal project. Might as well say, “loving you is like developing an api for an insurance company. I can’t bear to touch you without two drinks and a subscription to jetbrains” This is how relationships end up on the garbage heap.

This is a great resource for illustrating different regions of the brain, like the tomgfcerty, the Endecelest racion, Galagacrial region, and Intervaiscailance Raclan. There is even a good illustration of the Olmformforlmery!

Do it.

I will start a free lunch program the next fucking day, I have a whole city full of fucking commies ready to go, I will feed your babies bellies delicious food and I will feed their minds revolutionary proletarian theory. I will teach their parents about Marx and Lenin and Fanon, Luxemburg and Kwame Ture. and we will take this shit over.

Ideologically driven psychos forget how this shit started in the first place. We remember.

The Deprogram is treats not theory. People who treat it like theory, even a little, are extremely frustrating to talk to/organize with.

I don’t like to be all preachy about peoples treats, I get annoyed when people try to tell me that my slop is bad or somehow dangerous, as if there aren’t about 1000 worse ways to burn holes in my brain than putting a podcast on in the background while doing dishes or driving or whatever. I’m a grown ass adult and I read a good amount and have lots of political discussions and organize in my spare time, its not like I’m some teenager being introduced to these ideas for the first, or even the 50th time.

But my dealings with people in their communities,and I’ve also heard this from other comrades, have been difficult. I don’t blame the hosts, but I’m suspicious of these platforms, the way they manipulate creators and consumers of content, it always seems to go badly. Idk maybe I’m just an old fuck

To deface it

Okay so don’t take this in any way than me just relating my personal experience, but while I agree with what you are saying from the position of someone who sees the depoliticization of the working class as disastrous and idealistic, and who does organizing in their community with other commies and socialists, I can’t stand politics. I organize with people who are good at it, and several people who like it and went to school for it; but while I can “play the game” as a matter of pure necessity, it is such a source of burn out and negativity. And I honestly don’t know what to do about it anymore, because powering through it has stopped working

Importantly, this estimation assumes other factors associated with earning potential — for instance, gender, age, years of schooling, and location — are held equal.

See, the gender/pay gap is a myth! It’s a height/pay gap!

Academia is a fucking joke

What source, it’s a picture. Can you please post it, and the wiki article?

Gonna have to push back here for a few reasons: 1. Just because a historian is conservative or even anticommunist, does not mean they are liars and their writings, if skewed toward their own ideological preferences and those of their audience, isn’t based in fact. 2. I found A History if the Jews on Libgen, and the source that he cites is Howard Sachar, ‘The Arab-Israel Issue in the Light of the Cold War’, (Washington DC), 1966, 2.

I don’t know about Howard Sachar’s attitude toward communism, and I couldn’t find a copy of the book that was cited, but I did find Dreamland: Europeans and Jews in the Aftermath of the Great War which contains about 150 pages about Rosa Luxemburg that casts her in a very good light from what I can tell. So not a guy with an axe to grind against communism.

Unfortunately I can’t find an independent resource supporting the original claim (although I swear I’ve seen one somewhere) but your argument is, at best, disingenuous and based on vibes

I’ve been doing more hobby-type stuff lately after 5 years working as a dev and doing very little coding outside of work. Before now it was always work, even my free time I’m like struggling to get things running or stuck or whatever. Now I know a few languages and I can just make stuff so its a little more fun for me lately

Thanks for your input! I’ll see what I can find on Haldane, that seems like a good place to continue for me
