an anonymous machine, without any foreman who steers the machine or can be made responsible for the destruction wrought by the machine. If one wishes to put an end to such destruction, it is not sufficient to criticize capitalists.

Rather, capitalist structures in their entirety must be abolished." - Michael Heinrich really gets at the annoyance i have with progressive libs and their obsessions with musk bezos etc

"As shown above (see section 4.2 or 5.2), economic actors follow a rationality that is imposed upon them by the economic relations. Thus the constant attempts by capitalists to raise the level of valorization (in the normal case) does not result from an “excessive addiction to

profit” on the part of the individual capitalist; it is competition that forces such behavior upon individual capitalists on pain of economic ruin. Everybody, including those who profit from the operation of capitalism, is part of a gigantic wheelwork. Capitalism turns out to be

Reading “Racism Without Racists” right now and oh god the amount of bullshit Gail had to deal with from me… yikes. I was afforded a lot of patience and grace but like wow that must have been so frustrating. Like ofc I’ve known this for a bit but just remembering

Sociology is super interesting but I’m kinda glad the classes offered at UW kinda suck, otherwise I’d be very tempted to ruin my course plan even more lol

its fine to be learning but i just can't get over how theres no basis in anything and the extent of engagement is just entertainment and the undercurrent theory is just,,, not there and when it is mentioned you reference COMPLETELY different strands just demonstrating you don't

know enough. and TO BE CLEAR - i was like this for a long time, and i still would not feel confident making something like this, nor do i have everything figured out. but to go out of your way to do this when youre just a bernie bro socdem is so weird - popular online leftie

stuff is super yikes im cring

I think it would be different if they were classical socdems that just used reform through liberal institutions as praxis, at least thats a perspective with some theory, even if I have some misgivings about the understanding of power.

im not trying to be ideologically pure or anything ig its just frustrating bc this type of person adopts radical language but really just has pretty solid politics within the modern overton window - which is good - just so weird to see

idk how to handle this https://youtu.be/kVZje8-abTk

life bad rn but im just a liberal with extra steps https://youtu.be/-1ZK2-viyAo

youre not "radicalized" stfu youre a bernie bro. the lack of theory totally ruins your perspective and instead of seeking to be better you just accept or even praise yourself for it. idk yikes homie

oh my god this is the shit i hate so much like https://youtu.be/D9yWdfszKFs

yeah giving people resources to look into things good but just entirely ideologically inconsistent and its like the most cringe thing idk. def feel the anarchist annoyance with "leftism" bc like what the fuck is that. you literally recommended an ML and an anarchist within 10s

Faking runs? Bad, Seems like this isn’t the only one either Weird problematic relationship with women? Yeah seems that way too But he doesn’t seem like actually a danger to anyone, and the other allegations of interpersonal misconduct seem unbelievably minor or like non issue

But the worst part is like the constant dunking and “down bad lmao” like idk just feels really weird and gross, and like the whole jumping to cancel thing. If it was just focused on fake runs then yeah prob not good to have him in that community anymore, but idk how long too idk

Just feels like when someone does something wrong it’s fine to just say fuck it 100% bad person and im justified in any treatment. Have empathy w ppl that make mistakes :/

This response feels really weird and gross idk https://youtu.be/tR28fJBFWjs

Like it’s “my space” by property rights are kinda bs and maybe (?) could be like personal property space but even then it’s like there’s no way to communicate or put on notice so that seems kinda bs too, also like humans building on land previously inhabited by animals

And then it’s like ok well they’re infringing on my bodily autonomy but it’s like are they? Even if I can say it’s likely does that make it legitimate to do so pre-emptively? And me saying likely is based on species which idk. Like I think it might all just be cope and that im

Just disturbed and bothered by their presence, but that doesn’t seem like very strong moral grounds. Idk so yeah that is really hard

To continue story, I kill one and it was awful experience, BUT THEN MORE CAME. Like one by one throughout the day there kept being more and more like holy shit how fucking awful. I killed 7 in all I think, and it was terrible every time. Pls just leave alone, I don’t want to hurt

Dude today has been like low key traumatic. It’s been move in week for ppl so they set up a big dumpster outside for trash and it has a bunch of flies, and somehow they’re getting in my apartment. It freaks me out so much having them around, and killing them is dubious ethical

Philosophy of relationships has always been incredibly important to me and my understanding of how I connect with others. Drifting between various understandings during adolescence drastically altered how I interacted with others. Often this wasn't exactly conscious choice by me

and that just made it all the more confusing for those around me. Especially with those I had long term relationships with, namely Gail. It has taken a long time but I think relationship anarchy has given me a framework to understand social relationships in a compelling and

beautiful way. Elegant in its simplicity, but difficult to follow through on given the state of current society. Modern understandings are contradictory and often immoral if followed to their conclusions.

Trying to make sense of them has led to a lot of pain for those around me, but I'm glad I've found something I think can work for me.

It feels like that implies that capitulation is necessary, like trying to cover up or eat less or whatever, but honestly that will never work. There will always be something, and it will never be good enough. And all of these standards are bullshit anyway, informed by garbage

World views. I can often shake out of it, like the requirement for men to be muscular or whatever, but some random things just have really caught me and dug in, namely weight appearance stuff. Idk sucks

I hate my existence being tied to a physical body so much :/ should honestly prob look into transhumanism stuff to flesh this out and think more about

Flat and less noticeable. I don’t really ever think about it until it’s pointed out, and then I feel pretty embarrassed and humiliated for some reason. Like “I was foolish for thinking something this ugly would go unnoticed, and that I was foolish for acting like it was

Irrelevant when it clearly matters” but that’s stupid and obv not true. Idk just is weird that I’m at a point in life where everyone pretends not to notice and doesn’t say anything, but it’s basically the first thing people see and I imagine I get judged prematurely for it

Constantly. Kinda just frustrating ig. Body image in general just really odd for me, like I don’t care at all because it doesn’t impact the things I most care about, but there are undeniable standards that make life confusing and difficult.

Getting cosmetic surgery for my neck tomorrow. I really hope it helps. I honestly don’t mind too much intrinsically, but others treat me a little weird for it I think. It was fading for a bit but more recently it’s become larger and more red. It would be nice to have it

looked more into this person, idk kinda boomer cringe shit but idk mostly just posted as a resource i was thinking about - basic and fine enough

Why Tolstoy so based on war and prisons but so cringe on marriage (also prison)

Marriage is between one enby, one trans woman, and one gender fluid person. Anything else is an abomination. -god probably

let him but understand that all the foolish things the world teaches him to consider as indispensable are but useless trash, and he will not work beyond his strength; he will not have to endure suffering and constant care; he will not have to labor without purpose or rest;

He will not be deprived of communion with nature, or of the work he loves, or of his family or his health, and he will not die a uselessly painful death.

Were a man but to act as he finds best for himself, were he but to refuse to go to war, he would have to dig ditches; but he would not be tortured in Sebastopool or Plevna. Let a man not believe that it is indispensable to wear a watch chain and to have useless drawing rooms,

inside you there are two wolves

actually this is a banger its going on main
