I always feel really wierd, class wise...
Like...I'm not super poor. Obviously I have internet, a house, electronics, and I don't have to work part time to afford college (with scholarships)
But...sometimes I feel really poor too. But I can never tell what poor I am. Like, I have a friend who is transferring and he was talking about how his parents will be paying A TON more in tuition than i am.
And ive talked about it before where last year I felt really, really ashamed about my mom not having an important job like everyone else in the class (She works as a laborer while everyone else had parents who worked as lawyers or dentists or upper managers, etc.) And like...logically I shouldn't, i know that. I don't think anyone else cared either, but for some reason having to say that just made me feel really ashamed for some reason.
I think I just feel like I don't fit in either world. I'm too "artsy" (for lack of a better term) and effeminate and privileged to really feel working class, but too limited and stressed to feel super privileged either.
I'm not asking for a ton of sympathy, i just wanted to get these thoughts out, because my emotions are involuntary so i wanna know why I have them
I feel this too sometimes but it's important to remember that the idea of working class being exclusively manual, blue collar workers is a very intentionally created image created by people who are not working class
Do you think some latin american compradors are like that because of the immense violence and suffering they have experienced?
Psychologically, wouldn't being at the brunt of constant violence induce sort of a nihilistic view in your mind towards politics, progress and a fear that "stepping out of line" would lead to getting whacked? I'm curious on what some comrades think.
Well, if we see it from a materialist perspective, the compradors loyalty lies with the group that offers them the most profit and that group will always be the imperialists.
That's why “stepping out of line” with the imperialist will always be detrimental for them. This explains why they always devolve into the most reactionary elements of the capitalist class and have no problems aiding the US funded death squads in Latin America.
Hexbear seems to not be federating properly with Lemmygrad

I love seeing all this Spanish-Turkish solidarity on my social media
stumbling onto cryptofash website is the weirdest thing ever.
ETA: the reason why i stumbled there was bc it was first page result when i was looking for data on how many people watched nayirah testimony aside from wikipedia (later referred to wikipedia’s citation instead since i couldn’t find much) and there was a site that looked fairly obscure and small. click and it’s talking about israel… okay… weird about it, but sometimes people who have fair critiques of israel are also antisemitic and weird (which is wrong, but usually their factual content on israel is right, so even if you categorically disagree; sometimes theyll CONTAIN things that are factual and of value) so i read their article on nayirah testimony. hey this language is weird. go to About. trheres a statue. im like oh no. neoclassical aesthetics. proceed to read most heinous thing ever.
trying to read on nayirah testimony and my two options are "cultural marxism and jewry are evil pollutants" and democracy now hard "uyghur genocide is real" agenda. yes the factual contents for both on the nayirah testimony are right but their frameworks are sooooooooo stupid (i mean demnow is better than blogspot that has 10 likes, one of which has SS logo profile picture, but)
I’m so looking forward to March Madness…this silly, ridiculous basketball tournament makes me feel like a kid in the best ways. Watching these intense finishes and upsets with my friends, driving to the games in college, watching these 20 year olds have this sudden and fleeting moment of fame.
It’s extremely exploitative, especially before NIL. And the whole thing rakes in millions of gambling dollars every year… but it reminds me of childhoods greatest moments
wrong link, retrospectively, to prove point. was trying to find something about usa or affiliated think tanks being very open about their goals, even the ones that, and stay with me here, Harm People …
I wonder how many teachers/professors have interacted with me and gone "wow theyre such a good student" without knowing I enter flight, flight, freeze or fawn mode whenever they enter the room
i'm sorry to always post about my revulsion with things and not offer proper analysis. on the other hand, another leftist big tent sub had comment with positive karma asking why we are rooting for Bigger and Badder PRC to retake taiwan. and i am not in the fucking mood. may iran fell all the bases around them and may BeiDou guide their missiles
This link does not work. I don’t know if we can replace it either.
Yes, only .vg, .pk & .gd work now. I think it was because of some attacks they were receiving.
Theres some sort of poetry to the fact that Japanese music is infamous for having really up beat tunes while simultaneously having dark/depressing lyrics
Does someone here uses Xiaohongshu? Can recommend people to follow or some tricks? I just made an account.
