I’ve definitely had that thought too. Last year I fell behind. And I debated on posting comments on older threads where nobody would revisit them

I feel like I have to wonder—is Natalie Wynn truly, organically this stupid

I definitely don’t do as much as I should or honestly even wish I could. It takes a level a dedication that I can’t even confidently say I have (but hopefully can).

You don’t need to think of it as a failure though if you haven’t yet been involved. It’s a space you can still grow into. I can’t outright say it isn’t “moral”, though, because it is so tied in with what it is that makes one a leftist. And that can come from some different places. And I believe that it is tied in with our personal development and ethics.

But imo the outward and inward struggles move together. So as you work on one it can help develop the other. And so the process goes. And I’m still early on this too

Ours was too! And even though we had libs with questionable takes on Maduro, they still showed up! And a.) we need the numbers and b.) most people aren’t lost causes. :)

The masses don’t want another war

And sorry if the tone in the original message was snarky for anyone reading. But it is a friendly reminder that grass engaging in the struggle IS the antidote to doomerism.

It’s dialectical materialism folks. You got to touch the grass and the dirt

I went to a demonstration today, instead of reading Hexbear’s doomer faction’s comments.

It felt nice

Like my FIL telling me how he’s starting to think that inflation mostly hurts poor people.

Some people take a while to reach lol

Meanwhile, The AI World, based in Pakistan, contains AI-generated shorts of catastrophic flooding in Pakistan, with titles like Poor People, Poor Family, and Flood Kitchen. Many of these videos are set to a soundtrack called Relaxing Rain, Thunder & Lightning Ambience for Sleep. The channel itself has 1.3bn views.

Not everything needs to have an app

Not everything needs to be online

Just make it a fucking button

They’re trying so hard

I’ve learned some new economic lingo today.

“We don’t think the bubble framing is that useful at this stage for investors,” Jean Boivin, head of the BlackRock Investment Institute, said.

Glad that’s settled 😌

China is so DYSTOPIAN you have to PAY to work at your made up “JOB”

I can see both points here. This is just a personal and anecdotal rambling, but I think of it as “once you get the message, put down the phone”

I find that psychedelics, over the years, have had this diminishing return where it shows me the mountaintop for a moment before placing me back at its base. The mushrooms are like a helicopter trip over that summit, you can get a look at it for a while but you don’t get to stay there. If i want to stay then I have to do the hard work of climbing.

So they definitely show me that there exists something different, a different way to think, be, and experience, but once I’ve got “that message” then the subsequent trips hit less and less.

It’s like it did what it could and now the ball’s in my court.

And this isnt to knock them. They definitely can give you a good “reset” for a time!

At this moment, I take them as it telling me that I need to do the next steps full of personal changes. Which is the less fun and more difficult part

But I dont think these folks will get much, they may not hear the message lol.

Watch them come back with the ‘realization’ that “other people have, like, feelings and stuff, man!”

AI cant think and its still smarter than the guy who wrote this stinkpiece

Nice comment!

Oh… I see. I forget that because it’s the last thing I think of when I think of that guy

How the fuck did that one commenter on that thread arrive at “Hitler was right” as their takeaway from all this?

Aside from already believing it…

We’re all going to a better place
