Carnival is over, now the Brazilian year of 2026 is finally allowed to begin. Under socialism, January will be fully deleted.

Wild to think my entire lineage can be traced back to some lizard crawling out of the ocean

Soon

Christians will complain about how lgbtqia+ is so confusing while having 100+ different denominations that are supposed to be just following the teachings of one guy

I like Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ but, damn, some of the characters (like Beecha and Mondo) are selfish.

Been musing on the problems of "temptation" and "corruption" philosophy again. Was thinking how "absolute power corrupts absolutely" (and other sayings like it) are the kind of nonsense adage that causes regular conscientious people to fear trying to have a share of the power, while the least conscientious are not moved by at all because they don't give a fuck about being "corrupt".

It also obfuscates cause and effect by hiding the problems with a given power structure behind human temptation and subsequent "fall from grace"; if a particular system consistently produces people in power who do awful shit and face no consequences, one would think that suggests there's something wrong with the system, but to the empty-headed corruption worldview, they can just brush that aside and say the problem is that it was working just fine but it got corrupted by bad people. And this is in fact one way people defend capitalism when they are upset with how it operates but don't want to go as far as anti-capitalism.

I would go as far as linking it to the story of Adam and Eve that some people internalize as foundational to their worldview. In that story, it's never God's fault for putting Adam and Eve in a position where they could very easily do something that would monstrously offend him and cause him to cast them out. It's always their fault for stepping outside the rails and doing the thing they weren't supposed to. So in a way, if the system is presenting opportunities for people to "sin" and if there are "devils" about tempting them, well perhaps that's just like the Garden of Eden, and God's "testing" them, you know? In this way, a system that is fundamentally abhorrent gets turned upside down and presented as a good thing (and I have heard arguments not far off from this from some Christians in years past, who would excuse the suffering in the world by saying it's because people need to be tested somehow or something along those lines).

As a cis white male comrade, I’m trying to find resources to help others like me embrace Marxism-Leninism or at least some sort of leftist positions. But I know from experience that working through your privileged position and understanding the intricacies of class structure is something cis white men are generally horrible at.

It’s made even harder with grifters like Jackson Hinkle who shepherd potential leftists into some weird brocialist cult.

lol whoever made that post that the chud from predictive history was a clown was right, the guy did an interview with SNEAKO LMAO

Sometimes I wish I could have one day in which I go back in time to a warm summer day in high school, coming back from school logging in to Habbo or Minecraft or GTA or COD Zombies and just vibe with the homies

Reddit has this hate boner for Eileen Gu because she chose China over the US to represent at her sport and schooling everyone else doing so. They can't handle someone not wanting to compete for the US, even less so if China is the one instead.

I think I have problems not doing things that are wrong that simultaneously don't hurt people.

I know that didn't come out well, I'll elaborate.

If it involves someone else who's alive, then I'm basically constantly trying the best way to make them happy. I'll try not to be rude, demeaning, etc. And I especially won't try to hurt them. I've had a thought that I would rather kill myself than do that to someone else (as counter productive as it can be, obviously). The only exception is the internet, but I try to be cordial when I can.

But...if it doesn't hurt someone else I turn into a big libertine. Like I used to cheat on tests in high-school [I dont now because it's impractical in college]. I know there's the kantian argument of "if everyone did it it'd be bad so no one should do it," but...idk

The thing is that i don't feel guilty. If I make someone feel bad or something I'll feel guilty for years. I had a friend who I treated poorly (long story, family trauma related) and I've still felt naturally guilty. But when I cheated on those tests I didn't feel naturally bad. My conscious brain tells me "that's wrong" but my emotional center just doesn't register it. Idk why. Maybe it's how I was brought up.

I know it's not exactly a good marxist way of thinking. But this is my conscious, logical part of me writing this. That instinctual part is just rolling their eyes at me and wondering why I'm taking it so seriously. I'm gonna talk to my therapist about this too.

New joke: Anytime you see a picture of Epstein in public you say "God! Hunter Biden looks like shit these days."

Got stuck without internet access for a almost a whole week, came back and Trump is still threatening Iran like an apartment cat staring at a bird outside. Seems there were no decades this week.

Anxiety has been killing me these days, i feel so powerless just observing my country and other latin american countries just standing still against the ongoing genocide preparations towards Cuba. Like when are we going to start developing ANY deterrence against the fascist americans, there is a negative amount of sense of urgency here.

Reports in our media of the US attacking Iran this weekend. No idea if legit, though.
