Burnt out but actually quite good right now. Life can be really tough for many different reasons but sometimes you’ve got to find a way to cope and somehow the past few hours I have let go of the horrors, watched some youtube communist content and chilled myself out.

I’ve got a lot of personal stuff to sort out - like the fact I am out of shape, lonely and unemployed. I’m going to try to take it one step at a time. If Harry Du Bois can carry on so can I.

How are you doing?

ideal, imagined scenario.

Not Russia still ruled by the capitalist oligarchy.

ideal, imagined scenario.

I also think Russia under their current ruling class and mode of production is an oppressive nation, but I was talking about an…

ideal, imagined scenario.

Why under the ideal, imagined scenario I present does your brainwashed mind still have to have Russia as some big evil oppressive nation lmao

There is no ignoring the fact that on the grander geopolitical stage, Ukraine is on the side of Western imperialism, has a major nazi problem & supports Israel while Russia is allied with and supporting of many anti-imperialist nations and overall fights against the biggest enemy to our species - western capitalist domination, even if that does not come from some pure, ideal socialist position.

It’s a horrible conflict with neither side being ‘good’, ideally I would want for Ukrainans and Russians to live peacefully and in harmony with one another, like they mostly did under the USSR. Also, it is not like there was zero provocation against Russia before their invasion, I would recommend you do some looking into the events that lead up to the war.

Yours sincerely, ‘Tankie’

I agree with you and don’t worry you didn’t come across annoying but very helpful actually, I’ll try to utilise your advice. I definitely need to rest better and have some more passion to my life, no doubt.

Today has been really rough, I’ll probably have to re-read this comment, what I wrote in the post and any other comments that come tomorrow when I’m more switched on because I can already tell it’s not gonna get internalised properly.

Thank you and I wish you all the best going into adulthood. Someone should’ve warned me or helped me, don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Now life will be too easy and capitalism taught me humans need to struggle, so all those unfortunate Chinese must be killing themselves out of living too comfortably. Of course the evil CCP are faking the suicide statistics but all you have to do is look at this one video which shows a group of real Chinese people crying over their mundane existence [they’re at a funeral] to see the truth…

‘Humans are naturally greedy and instead of doing anything to try right this wrong, we should just be contempt being awful. Oh, and also ignore all historical evidence of the ways tribes would share resources communally.’

Reddit liberals (not all, but the more diehard Obama worshipping types) call China authoritarian literally only because they chose a different path than western-aligned, free market capitalism, they will never call out state power abuses of Korea or Japan because that would expose they’re hypocritical - that it isn’t about authoritarianism, it’s about being an extension of the West.

Even if China were a literal eastern utopia, they would invent reasons to hate them because they don’t care about material reality but instead just achieving the appearance of having the morally righteous position. They approach politics not with analysis or ethics but like sports fans, "my side better because ____ , your side worse because _____ ".

Like with the DPRK, because it is closed off to the world and it becomes hard to get dirt on them they just make up stories to ‘prove’ it is bad, so that the leaders and countries they side with are seen as superior. It’s so childish and they do the work of the CIA for free.

ITV news coverage of this was disgusting, IIRC they were fearmongering and calling it another case of increasingly more common anti-semitic attacks on jews as well as terrorism. Even just the tone of voice by the newsreader was repulsive to listen to because if a Zionist stabbed two Arab muslims in the UK, it likely wouldn’t even be covered by them, if it was the attacker would be considered a rogue, crazy individual and not at all linked to any kind of ideology or particular prejudice.

I feel sorry for the victims and they shouldn’t be used as pawns in this grander Zionist narrative but I just wanted to point out this insane bias and unequal coverage.

the lack of any punctuation aside from the hyphen and dollar signs hurt my brain like he just kept going and going and even though logically there should have been a comma or a full stop also known as a period at any point he chose not to what an absolute chad and now I have discovered the superioirty of punctuationless typing I will never go back thank you potata salad man for enlightening me
