Didn’t Rosa Luxemburg meet her partners through organizing?

I remember this when it happened. Sooo many people were saying “we tried this, it doesn’t fucking work” but the stupid ass doctors didn’t listen. No wonder people are losing faith in medicine, it’s cuz of shit like this.

Cool then he can go join the IDF and go into Gaza and get owned. I fully support his right to do that

For what it’s worth, I think an org should also have other activities. That means like a bowling night or something. Or a movie night, dinner night, or going out to a bar night. And, this might ruffle some feathers, it should also be a place where you can meet someone for dating, a fling, etc. That’s how most people meet each other, through a shared activity (like school, a club, church, etc.). Democrats and Republicans meet each other in shared spaces like that all the time, but for some reason it’s like the ultimate taboo to talk about it in leftist circles. But why? Just cuz some peeps here and there developed sex cult personalities? How many comrades of the past met each other through the Soviet Party or the Communist Party of China or in Cuba or Vietnam? Probably millions.

They already had the reveal that gov bodies knew about all the details of the attack in advance,

I don’t buy this when they say it. If you’re referring to that New York Times article where Israeli intelligence basically claimed to have the Oct. 7 Hamas attack handbook, then yeah it’s all BS in my opinion. Mouin Rabbani, when talking to Rania Khalek, said it best:

now of course um in addition to operation sword of iron which is um the operational name of the Israeli Onslaught on the Gaza Strip there’s an equally important operation being conducted which is known as operation cover your ass in which every Israeli official and their brother claims to have known exactly what was going to happen warned everyone about it but it was someone else’s fault that they didn’t do anything um I don’t take these issues uh seriously I mean you even had a long article in the New York Times um that the Israelis actually had a copy of Hamas’s Master planning document for the um uh October 7th attack but maybe they thought it was a short story I don’t know um you know first of all I very much doubt whether such a document even exists um it was probably written by someone in the Israeli intelligence agents to give to the New York Times to show that you know it wasn’t us you need to talk to it was a fault of the politicians or it was a fault of the army um and then you had a um a day or two later an article in the Jerusalem Post which even though operating under rules of Israeli military censorship I thought was much more accurate that they had no information which is why they were um unable to prepare

I like Rania’s reply too:

yeah it’s uh you know you could just imagine if you’re uh involved in some sort of militant activity and you’re preparing a very secret operation that nobody knows about but you definitely wrote it all down and somehow you know it ended up in the hands of the Israelis I mean it’s it’s kind of absurd on its face

“but don’t block japan, I want to have a submissive real life anime waifu!!!”

I can’t believe I believed in him just a few years ago…

Ok so when China supposedly “genocides” uighurs (which has been thoroughly debunked), it’s ok to call it genocide?

But when the word is used against what IS actually a genocide against the Palestinians, well then it’s all (in annoying reddit nerd voice): “UMm, Ackshually… we shouldn’t be using that word anymore! I AM VERY SMART!!! PLEASE FEEEMALES DATE ME!!!”

Maybe there’s a deeper discussion to be had on when the word is appropriate to use, but this article is 100000000000000% only doing it because they are worried about the term being applied to Israel. They are not having a good faith discussion about this. They are weaponizing this sort of philosophizing to obfuscate their real objectives. fuck them, don’t engage with this obvious ploy, just make fun of them until they run away crying

So apparently a lot of animals use the leaves as cover during the winter, so mowing it may kill all those animals.

A thick layer of leaves may not look like much, especially when the color is drained to a dull brown. But chances are it’s actually teeming with wildlife.

As temperatures drop, fallen leaves and the soil underneath offer crucial habitat for all kinds of creatures, including salamanders, frogs and rodents. Shepherd noted that this shelter is especially important for the smallest animals, mainly insects and other invertebrates. That list includes cocooned moths and bumblebee queens, as well as those that might be less eye-catching to humans.

Data suggests that one square meter of leaf litter could house between 40,000 to 50,000 springtails, tiny arthropods that are easy to overlook but important to ecosystems. Trashing leaves takes away an important source of protection for these and other critters in the colder months.

Failing to diagnose properly, if at all

Acting like they are superior in every way

Getting upset if you research stuff yourself beforehand

Telling you that it’s either “stress-related” or “age-related”

Etc. Etc.

Don’t vote, and whoever tries to shame me can go climb a tree

It also doesn’t help that very useful videos (like the Gravel Institute vid on Ukraine) were taken down because of tons of online bullying and the cowardice of the Gravel guys.

that most people in youth communist groups are there because they want to belong somewhere.

I don’t know if that’s the primary reason, but it’s certainly valid to want to belong. It’s why people join gangs, terrorist organizations, etc. Perhaps it also applies to commie groups, we shouldn’t think of them as holy mystical orgs free from real life issues. I get that your friends have no idea what they are talking about, but I do think that people join orgs not solely for helping others, but also helping themselves (‘it’s better to be together with like-minded people than to suffer alone’ king of thing).

Even by their own “alpha chad” standards these guys are complete “betas” (they don’t have strong jawlines, look shorter than 6ft, and don’t seem very built/muscular/lean). How tf did they think this was a win?

There are so many girls that date military guys, I have no idea where this guy is looking. There’s still so much respect around the military that this guy must intentionally be going after girls that aren’t into the military.

Teach me your ways

Good luck finding a leftist to give you concrete, actionable dating advice beyond “don’t be creepy and don’t smell weird.” I posted a good video a while back, but sadly it got very little engagement here: https://hexbear.net/post/613122. I’d highly recommend that video as it gives concrete advice.

Most ppl use online now and as a guy online is a nightmare (unless you’re in the top 5-10% of guys in terms of looks, since that’s pretty much the only thing you’re judged by online). You’re gonna get barely any matches and out of those you are barely going to get any dates. If you’re a girl you may find it hard to find an actually good guy, but you won’t be wont for attention. Various studies have pretty much confirmed this. If this continues, then I only foresee a dark future ahead, as guys like Andrew Tate will funnel that frustration into their own movements. I posted a good video about this a while back: https://hexbear.net/post/613122 but it barely got any enagement, which makes me think leftists as a whole don’t want to face men’s loneliness issues on anything but a surface level.

Not gonna lie “Genocide Joe” has some real “Moscow Mitch” cringe vibes.

I mean you do have to be tactical when talking to others. You need to gauge what level they are roughly at before you use certain “buzzwords.” For example, you might want to say an industry is “mostly dominated by guys” instead of using phrases like “white cis male patriarchy” with some people because it WILL trigger them. Same thing when talking about racism. We all know what “white supremacy” means but to your average normie they think only of the KKK and stuff like that. Same with terms like “systemic racism” or whatever. I hate to say it, but it’s kind of a game of cat and mouse. We always have to be ready to phrase things differently because once we settle on something, the right will figure it out and then run their media on overdrive to let their base know what buzzwords to watch out for.

I mean before I was where I am today just saying Stalin or Mao would have triggered me to think of the “millions that died” or whatever. At some point you do have to be open about your views but that doesn’t mean you need to bombard someone immediately with words like “bourgeoisie” or “dictatorship of the proletariat” or “means of production” right from the get go. Even something as banal as “material conditions” requires the other person to kind of already know what you’re talking about in the first place.

The guy is literally a contributor to F*dcobin and is calling anyone who disagrees with him a “western leftist.” What a fucking dumbass
