‘the old world is dying and the new world is struggling to be born, now is the time of morons.’
-Indi.caI suspect trump is even more likely to attack Cuba to try and compensate for being humiliated by Iran
Sometimes I wonder how I wouldve turned out if I were in my mid teens right now. Because with my interest in living healthy and working out and whatnot I can click on one wrong thing on social media and find myself stuck in some weird lookmaxxing jestergooning alt right pipeline by virtue of being a white guy. It can’t be good for a young guy to have this amount of brainrot bombarded at you.
I think it’s a little funny that I’m basically too poor and china pilled to boycott anything. Don’t eat fast food, already pirate everything, already used deepseek for the little ai I want to use, etc. The only new thing is transitioning over to libre-office I guess :p. Now if only I could get my family to not spend so much
I hate when I have an actual opinion on something and then someone just says it’s bait
dont tell me if this is false i want to believeYears ago I was wondering why the Japanese were so sympathetic to the zionist entity. This was until reading deeper into the crimes against humanity and wanton slaughter that the entity has committed against all the innocents that stood in the way of them expanding their lebensraum.
They really are two peas in a pod.
Every time I look up google streetview in Israel, I’m amazed by how ugly their cities look
i still struggle to understand how americans can sincerely laugh at perceived cult of personality in other countries
glances to your ‘brat’ themed kamala campaign and your DNC and at the state of twitter and your hyperindividualized stan culture
I had this thought/realization earlier that although I’ve made a lot of progress on learning about ML stuff, there are times where, when I am under stress, I appear to fall back on idealism thought. It’s interesting how that works, but it makes a kind of sense to me. Idealism is what I grew up with, what was instilled in me from a young age, so it’s the reflexive response, the low effort, low energy coping mechanism.
This doesn’t mean, however, that it’s a healthy coping mechanism. Part of the reason I was being conscious of it was because of turning inward and noting that the response I was having was detrimental to myself. I don’t want to go into the personal details of what it was about, but in essence, I was noticing this kind of interplay between fatalism and magical thinking of idealism. The fatalism is the negative spiral end of it. The magical thinking is the “attempt to be positive” (without diamat grounding), that kind of thinking like sheer power of will is going to overcome. The fatalism/doomer/depressed thinking is a direct response to the failure of idealism thought. When it doesn’t hold up to reality as is easily the case, it can start a negative spiral. Idealism thought builds positivity via sand castles, for lack of a better metaphor, so it easily gets swept away.
The solution is probably to make more of a conscience effort to practice diamat in day to day ways. After all, it is by practice that I internalized idealism, not just by being told about it. And I can’t unlearn idealism fully until there is something to take its place.
I have seen that several of you made good posts on the Hungarian elections. Some even posted their questions, which were interesting to read.
On the 25th, our party’s (Hungarian Workers’ Party) next congress is coming up, to which, thankfully I have been invited to.
If you are still curious, our you’d think Lemmygrad would benefit from it, I would gladly write a short post about the party’s official take on things along with a couple things I have noticed during this period in my area.
Although I was happy to see that many of you had a very up to date and on point approach to things.
Spain seems to be turning against the western hegemony a bit with their PM meeting with Xi recently
