  • Does voting matter or not? Does voting dem over Republicans matter or not? You keep on writing essays on how bad democrats are and yes they are as I said imperialists still and I never supported voting communism into office and only revolutions can achieve it. But all I am saying is that in the mean time, taking 10min to vote dem over Republicans will at best alleviate worse situations or at worse as you say do nothing so why not do it?

    What exactly are you trying to argue for?





  • They materially exist to at least slow down the more extreme racist and bigoted narratives and policies being pushed by Republicans. If democrats didn’t exist and this nations as purely Republicans we would be seeing the LGBTQ community being thrown in camps already.

    Let’s go with your theory that voting doesn’t stop or alleviate any issues. Republican power has only been growing due to worsening conditions, and fascism is preferable to socialism in the eyes of the majority of the brainwashed reactionaries living here. We don’t help vote cause “voting doesn’t matter” and let Republicans win over and take every seat. The spineless dem will give in and join their side, and now we got a race of who can get more extreme right.

    By the way conservatives are much more likely to vote than disillusioned Democrats. And they will vote in droves for their fascist leaders.

    You already see this in republican circles already where they have really started sliding further right at an unprecedented scale. And just look at all the policies being passed in Florida, it is not looking good.

    Anyone who thinks worsening conditions will lead to a communist revolution over a fascist one is not paying attention to the reactionary preference for fascism in this nation.

    This does not bode well for marginalized communities. You may not give a shit but I do, as my own life has been severely negatively impacted ever since the trump presidency.

    The only people who would have no fear of a republican take over are straight and white.


  • That’s purely speculation. I can also speculate that by letting Republicans win, the spineless Dems are just gonna join the winning side and swap over. Plenty have already done so or became libertarians who are just mini republicans. If popular support is on the side of the more extreme right then everyone moves further right. You can literally see this effect in CNN where they have increasingly worse narratives sliding towards the fascist right.

    By the way the same Republicans are portraying the LGBTQ community as associated with groomers and also happen to have the gun nuts on their side. At least democrats don’t actively do that. Republicans have been sliding real fast towards an even more extreme right ever since the trump presidency.

    But sure both are equal and let’s not vote and let Republicans win every seat. Definitely not gona have a worsening affect marginalized communities.


  • I mean yes both Dems and Republicans are capitalist imperialists who are never reformable and will forever be capitalist imperialists, however while the revolution hasn’t happened yet it is important to vote Dems which takes barely any effort.

    Conservatives straight up are threatening the lives of minority groups and LGBTQ on an entirely different scale than democrats and life for me as a minority living in the US has gotten significantly worse since trump.

    It is idealistic to just not vote or vote for some 3rd party that never wins while real shit has been ramping up for people like me from the republican side (and yes I know Dems do it too and are also bigoted racists but again Republicans do it on a whole nother scale).






  • For mods affecting npc appearance it would be easier to move another mod that affects serana into a higher load priority because it’s likely the appearance mod is overwriting both in the plugins section and in the mod folders section of the textures and meshes due to headmesh generation and ect. So if you have mod 1 and mod 2 loaded in mod organizer 2 for example, and mod 2 makes serana furry and mod 1 is normal looking serana you want mod 1 to be below mod 2 in mod organizer 2 on both the left and right panel so that mod 1 has priority overwriting both.

    Alternatively you can delete the serana npc section of mod 2 in sseedit and then delete the associated serana meshes and textures in the mod folders which will have the last few digits of seranas id as the file names.

    If you use vortex I have no idea how to use it because I haven’t used it before and if you use Nexus mod manager, switch over to mod organizer 2.


  • Make sure you have sseedit and open up your entire active plugins modlists with it, find seranas id code and search for it in sseedit to highlight it. It will then show records in red on the right side which is a conflict with another plugin whether that plugin is vanilla or modded. It will also show which plugin is overwriting another. The plugin on the right most side of the right panel overwrites anything left of it that’s in red.

    But on the other hand, this way serana doesn’t need her hoodie to avoid most of the harmful sunlight to her skin sooo



  • You can’t start conversations on communism by using the word communism with reactionaries who lived an entire life under anticommunist propaganda.

    Assuming he makes a living as a worker and not by being a landlord or business owner, you can instead have discussions about how it’s in his interest to ask for more pay for less work while the boss wants less pay and more work this creating the class conflict and how the owners of companies make billions more without working a billion times harder and that’s how they exploit the worker.

    You can also point out how wages stagnate and inflation increases and nobody in the gov does anything about it and yet the rich get richer. Where does the money come from, from whose value is it stolen from, ect.

    Just avoid all mentions of buzzwords like capitalism, communism, ect as reactionaries have no values and operate entirely on buzzwords and what they’re told is good or bad without an ounce of critical thinking.




  • And yet china refuses to make policies that support billionaires and benefit the bourgeoisie class specifically, they instead do the opposite and fuck them over to the point where western media makes articles about how china is fucking over billionaires as if that’s a bad thing.

    That’s what separates MLs from reactionaries and people like maoists who do not understand dialectical materialism and operates on idealism and being dogmatic.

    If china really were revisionist they would be stripping social safety nets, reducing funding for public infrastructure, increasing privatization of everything that’s currently public and increasing policies favoring the bourgeoisie. Change happens in elliptical motion. For example when the USSR became revisionist they switched over real quick and policies favoring the proletariat were quickly stripped away in favor of pro bourgeoisie ones. The revisionists in powere immediately enriched themselves with this.

    Maoists and reactionaries don’t look at objective material reality.


  • Starting off with enemy states of western imperialist nations is probably not going to go well. It’s better to start with talking about subjects that directly relate to and affects their material interest.

    This is all assuming you are talking to someone who isn’t a bourgeoisie or materially well off. You can then talk about how their wages aren’t improving, and change in the nation isn’t for the better for people like him and how no matter who is elected it seems like they don’t change anything for the better. This can then get into discussions about class interests (how the proletariat and bourgeoisie obtain wealth and their conflicting interests) and exactly what determines a “democracy” and how the nations they live in aren’t “democracies” as they are dictatorships of the bourgeoisie. Get them to understand what capitalism really is and then describe features of communism without the word communism that they may agree with. Materialism vs idealism can also be discussed here. Debunking propaganda against communism and AES nations is gonna take a long time unless they are open-minded and willingly want to get a new perspective.
