Beating US’ diet isnt that much of a high bar lol

I started to enjoy card games more recently (not gambling), they are way more multiplayer than multiplayer video games, since you actually meet with people face to face and have normal human interactions

And it’s way cheaper

If you look at it from the point of playing games as a means of having fun and enjoying free time, you realize that you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars just to make your brain produce more serotonin, dopamin etc… Dont fall for this bs

Either multiple users or hide my applist lsposed plugin with all data isolation enabled idk

Then just make a new symbol, the sickle is not as representative today as it used to be when it was invented anyways, since agriculture is more industrialised now, at least in Finland.

You cant have smartphone level performance (performance/battery life) with an x86 chip lol. I hope more manufacturers are moving towards ARM chips in the future bc I hate apple

Good luck going to Uni everyday with some ultra thick gaming laptop with 30mins battery life

Why do you post the same picture in multiple communities?

I felt the exact same way. The thing is, I sometimes question if scientific socialism really provides the correct (right) answers for the questions as to why things are how they are. I am a socialist because I think Marx, Engels and all the people after them were really good in analyzing the underlying conditions, contradictions in capitalism and solutions for those problems, but I also remain skeptical to the way they want to solve things. I don’t think there is an universal way how to make way for change, as any situation requires different methods. All roads lead to Rome one way or another, we just have to stay on the road and don’t turn back. But then again, isn’t this basically the essence of dialectical and historical materialism? Anti-Dogmatism and Self-Criticism? I saw many self proclaimed communists that think Mao’s way is the only right way and any change to it would be reactionary, but Mao himself basically wrote / said that this type of behaviour is not counter-productive, so I don’t understand where these people are coming from.

Thank you, that was very uplifting. But what exactly do you mean with the last sentence? Do you seriously think that fascism is a solution for ending this, just because it could accelerate the change to communism? Did I get that right? It sounds like a very dangerous (and to me, disgusting, no offense) theory. Sorry if I am being rude, please explain if I misunderstood you, but there is nothing more in this world I hate more than fascists.

Yes, they are a “democratic socialist” party. If you read Lenin’s works you know why this concept is inherently bad and just supports the ruling class in one way or another

Ah okay, sorry. Here: SPD: Social Democratic Party of Germany, CDU: Christian Democratic Union (=Conservative, CSU is their Bavarian branch, which has been even more conservative historically). Grune: Green Party, started off from ‘Maoist’ extra-parliamentary movements, but has since become a neoliberal party that makes the poor pay for their climate programs instead of the rich, FPD: Free Democratic Party, Neoliberal, they like the taste of US’ imperialist boots, AfD: Alternative for Germany, right-wing populist to neo-nazi party, has radicalised a lot since 2020 Die LINKE; The LEFT, Marxist, democratic socialist party, largest left wing party that is not offically surveilled by the intelligence, has been losing a lot of votes since Sarah Wagenknecht went crazy.

many reactionary / conservative newspapers, large amount of anti-socialist propaganda, voters only care about identity politics and who can bash who the most, large conspiracy theory movements, east germany gets constantly exploited since 1989 by west german capitalists and news outlets have stirred a large amount of hatred for east germans, so that noone could think for one second that socialism is good -> resulted in hatred for the government in east germans and west german fascists taking control of said hatrid, immigration caused by US imperialist wars has brought up an easy target for bigots to say immigrants are the problem, government fails to stop alt-right movements and is generally incapable of governing, people misinterpret the real causes of late capitalism, etc etc etc, you get the idea, its generally the same as everywhere else in the western world.
