I guess it’s on me for expecting you to finally respond to my actual point after trying to restate the same thing over and over, but seeing as that never actually happened, I’m out.

Do you think I’m trying to convince you to become political or to change your ways? Or are you just imagining my responses without reading them? My entire point is there’s no such thing as being apolitical in a political world. Every single action you take or doesn’t take reinforces or undermines the current system unless you’re in kindergarten in a heated discussion about your favorite color. Assuming you’re not in kindergarten, you should be able to handle a bit of how various topics are impacted or are connected to politics regardless of your own participation in those discussions.

Not caring IS political. It’s a political stance to be so disconnected from reality that one would prefer to bury their head in the sand and ask for advice on how to bury it further.

Not caring about the state of the world doesn’t absolve you of your responsibility to it. It just makes you a negligent parent not wanting to talk about your kids every time you go to the bar.

Because being able to ignore politics is helpful to the liberal west who is trying to cling to status quo. It’s not helpful to marxist leninists who don’t like the status quo. This doesn’t make .ml more political, it’s just equally political reactions from different sides of an issue.

Assisting and seeking to ignore or cover up clear abuses only serves to shield the abuser. Whistle-blowing might seem like a more political response to abuse, but covering up abuse is also political.

The fact that you’re so avoidant of the inherent politics of the everyday world is a reaction desirable to the status quo, which is itself political. Congratulations, your kind of politics is status-quo-enjoyer which kills countless people every year for you to remain comfortable and blind to politics.

The mental image of Trump in a Miata with a 5 point harness trying to figure out stick in busy city traffic is almost good enough to let him borrow it.

Back in the day, Avid (the company that makes professional software like media composer and pro tools) sold a NAS system called ISIS (Infinitely Scalable Intelligent Storage). The studio I worked at had a different system, but the head of post production still called it “the ISIS” because he got used to calling the network storage that.

HonDashi. I add it to nearly all my soup stocks (unless I’m trying to make a dish vegetarian).

And now for the final question of our game which always pertains to real life skills. Buzz in if you can find the incorrect part of this statement: “Developing an accurate view of the world is difficult if you don’t have a method to verify information. One surefire way to know what’s going on thousands of miles away is to trust anonymous sources and NGOs at their word when they tell you through western mass media and without any proof that our adversaries are doing evil things.”

I’ve been in the process of making a powerpoint-esque presentation to show to my friends who haven’t read any theory and the thought of framing and organizing it as “bitter pills” is super exciting to me. Starting out the presentation with definitions and history would’ve made them fall asleep.

I’m convinced (based off interactions I’ve had on NextDoor) a lot of people think capitalism=uses money. But also that socialism/communism=failed/corrupted capitalism. China looking better than the USA nowadays means they have to be capitalist since they obviously aren’t failing.

No, you just have to be able to fit your words into a Zine format

If I ever write a manifesto, I’m running it through a jar jar binks and UWU filter first

Well at least my activated charcoal infused orange juice doesn’t affect anything.

…

It doesn’t affect anything, right?

It sure does seem like people who support white supremacist systems and help push supremacist propaganda don’t like being called white supremacists.
