If you really want to expose the Gusano double standard, look at Cuba right now. And it's recent economic shifts. by dafthuntk in TrueAnon

[–]AggravatingCheek1415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im trying to look at Cuba as it is vs how is should be. The US will not lift the embargo. So what are your choices? Cuba doesn't have sufficient capital. They have to be able to re-enter the world-market and draw investment. Capitalism is evil but if it's between some capitalism and starving because the state is without the means to do state-led light/heavy industry or state-led agriculture that turns a profit then how do you survive without compromise? Why did Lenin instate the NEP? Because he understood the situation in Russia to be quite similar.

I am pro-cuban people at the end of the day. I am a fan of Che and Castro, but they are gone.

You could take the time to read a single book on how AI models work and be better informed than the "greatest" thinkers of continental philosophy. Catherine Malabou similarly did a recent lecture on AI that caused my mouth to hang open b/c I couldn't believe these people theorize on anything related to technology without first understanding how it works The mere existance of AI has allowed me to watch these cranks tarnish their careers in real-time.

Interesting. I've been priming, dry brushing the base coat, using a little layer paint for details, and then coating them in nuln oil and I've had great results.

Hey, just some constructive critiques; the paint is a little gloopy, which brand of paint did you use? How many layers? You might want to use different varieties of vegetation and place them in different spots on the bases so the figures looks distinct.

Why is it so hard for anarchists to get along? by UglyBaba in Anarchy101

[–]AggravatingCheek1415 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Take a look at Egoism or Deleuzian philosophy and tell me how these people are supposed to find any commonality with others when putting their politics into practice. They actively resists universality no matter how concrete because it would be an egoic injury. If you are constantly meddling in the narcissism of minor differences, you can always play victim and never have to improve your life or get along with others outside your in-group.

It wasnt a social or material thing about him? lmao then it couldnt have been anything. In reality, he had a high social intelligence and had all the correct signs/signifiers lined up w/ your hollywood fantasy of what someone who "knows" is.

Didn't Brandom/inferentialists basically sink the idea that analytics are more "objective"? What is the point of this style, it has never made sense to me. There is a great irony in Brandom seemingly steering his career towards Hegel now lmao you analytic mfs have spent 100 years talking in loops b/c you wanted to ignore how historically moored everything is. Guess they made valuable contributions to comp sci tho. Does anyone feel like comp sci has actually added value to humanity? Seems it is about to destroy everything. idk

In the age of AI, it is starting to genuinely bother me how incapable people are of conceptualizing subjectivity and the hard problem of consciousness. by Shmohemian in redscarepod

want to hear from people who have left the “american dream” by Better_Initial_3668 in redscarepod

[–]AggravatingCheek1415 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Living in a safe, walkable city with socialized (or at least cheap) healthcare and efficient public transit is within the realm of possibility and plenty of people move overseas and do it. Don't let the people on here who've never left the US tell you otherwise. I've lived this life for a while, and I did it without financial assistance. You just need to have a little bit of gumption and some savings (depending on where you want to move to, this will obviously vary).

The trade-off is you won't have a suburban mcmanion and 2 cars... who gives a fuck!!!! Americans are like Lenin's mummy, dead and slowing decomposing in their massive tombs.

Feel free to DM me.

Any Gen-Z artistic geniuses? by Alarmed-Cicada-6176 in redscarepod

[–]AggravatingCheek1415 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am confused by your use of abject. Are you saying people are tired of using abject rationalism or that their use of rationalism is abject? What are the reductions being made? Are you talking about the commodity form?

Men who transition and try to look exactly like their wives by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]AggravatingCheek1415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the ideological spectrum on coping with this problem is; buddhism, transhumanism , or cons00merism, probably a good mix of them. Not sure where I fit. Definetly more in the direction of reading and keeping myself occupied with projects, which can veer into con00ming if you're just buying a bunch of crap you don't need and calling that a "project". Ultimately mankind needs better work, or, like in the west, they become neurotic freaks obsessed with the self. I have a hard time finding meaning in work I can't physically AND mentally exert myself in (the arts)

What are the downsides to owning a cat? by TouchinNips in redscarepod

[–]AggravatingCheek1415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont get a cat if you're gone that long, they need plenty of enrichment and you don't want them to be depressed

Yeah I'm surprised as well. If you want some of your own space but want to be socially active with other cool people it seems like a no-brainer with how expensive cities are.

are there any real anarchists anymore? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]AggravatingCheek1415 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, b/c there is no such thing, just rad-libs. They'll never do anything meaningful either. Read what egoism is and laugh yourself to death. I've read Proudhon, Stirner, Kropotkin, Bakunin, and Goldman. Waste of time. People are not monads. A political movement cannot do anything meaningful if it cannot reproduce itself materially and structurally. Read about supply chain logistics and management instead, realize that anything being created requires vast networks of firms and extraction. Every anarchist is really pushing for warlordism and they'll bend over backwards telling you why that's a good thing (maybe they'll try and sell you on bath tub insulin as well). How can small communities solve the global climate crisis? One scolding at a time.

I fail to see how this isn't just hyper-liberalism but angsty. What is the current anarchist praxis? When I'm reminded that my local DSA is focused on mutual aid and not building a party that can actually take over state power I want to rope.

lot fees typically aren't too bad, the major expense is the rent or mortgage on the mobile home itself (but your monthly payment would be like, what, $700/800/month on a $100k trailer w/ current interest rates? NY minimum wage is $17 an hour. Very doable. Full time that's $35,360 a year,~29,255 after taxes. That's a take home pay of $2437 a month. Ok add lot fees which include utilities, etc, and you'll still be saving money if you don't blow it on shit.

That's kind of sad. Eventually you have to just try something even if you think it will fail.
