Ultimately the ML types are pretty much identical to the sov cit types.

And so unwilling to share their thoughts or teach. It’s all “this is truth and you’re a terrible person for not already agreeing. Oh, Mao says you’re not allowed to ask questions for some reason.”

Every house has one.

You say that but when you put the four corners together you get a trapezoid or triangle instead of a square or rectangle. I’ve even watched videos and tried to copy but failed at this.

The ability to perform high level mathematics and computer science tasks including programming languages and logic.

I basically stopped participating. I work in a government position that is stable and pandemic-proof. I will never be able to buy a house so I don’t even consider that. I live where I don’t need a car. Basically, my needs are met and capitalism didn’t work for me, ever.

For a real Marxist revolution to take place, the entire populace has to stand up at once and decide to make this change. This requires humanity to do some pretty broad and general evolution before we, as a race, are nearly ready. Checks and balances won’t fix the fundamental problem that humans are selfish and want more for themselves at the expense of others.

This is what actually got me banned from lemmy.ml. I said that although Communism can be done in a ML way, it has never actually happened because it has never actually be a revolution by the people. In the case of Russia and the places they influenced, it was a group of self-appointed elites that did the actual revolting, and then they imposed a new system on the populace.

You can really ask the same question about capitalist societies. Why is there such oppression? Why is there a group that can do anything and a group that cannot? Regardless of your political system, human behavior is the same and it usually involves insecure ape-like people who want power for power’s sake. Communism, just like every political system ever created, trends towards this sort of behavior.

As someone else said, desperation will cause people to move towards authoritarian thought, be that the extreme right (fascism) or the extreme left (communism).

I’d be with you if they allowed medical cannabis. They will execute you for using medicine essentially.

Same with comment threads.

When you notice people from a specific instance being trolly, ban the entire instance. Also don’t feel afraid to just block someone acting up. You will find it surprisingly cathartic.

This has always been a thing and is one on Lemmy too.

Social workers doing clinical therapy at the federal level make bank.

In the city a lot of your expenses evaporate

lol I know you’re full of it specifically because I come from a backwards place and escaped it

This is the new normal. It’s everyone angry all the time until something snaps or the culture changes. Personally I believe you have to wait until the older part of Gen X is dead before we get relief.

I’ve never really seen the point.
