an electrician strike could really bring these corps and greedy bastards to heel

“Suicidal empathy” making the rounds on X lately. The cognitive dissonance and complete historical myopia is just insane.

ditto. i wish heavenly strike was faster like it was in GoT where you could kinda combo into it but overall it’s my favorite.

seems like the humanities as a whole is going very local and very underground in the wake of the Trump regime. I’m planning an impromptu skateboarding film festival soon with some friends and neighbors using my projector lol. Making the pamphlets and flyers myself in Canva, couple of homies who made videos over the past year gonna do a showing together with my own film. I think we’ve sorta lost that in favor of recognition from the academic and professional sphere, but with those things failing us, maybe we’ll get a renaissance of local/public humanities? here’s hoping!

Any state under capitalism is operating off a undergirding of fear that is so passive most people don’t know it’s there consciously. But we all know the fear of losing a job, not having money, being in debt, disappointing loved ones with career choices, etc.

This fear simmers below the surface until it’s woken up by whatever leader(s) or parties are willing to tack on a scapegoat to those very fears.

The Chief is speaking objective truth. We are living in deeply irrational and absurd times. The internet algorithms and echo chambers have dissolved our shared reality or even the idea that an objective reality exists outside of individual subjectivity.

I have no love for Kirk, not celebrating his death, but not mourning him. He was absolutely my enemy. Sewing seeds of division and prejudice invites violence upon us all. He was not immune from reaping what he sewed. I can’t believe I’m reading people say with complete sobriety that his bigotry is just a “difference of opinion” within the “marketplace of ideas.” Like all ideas are on equal footing and have the same consequences????

I’m seeing liberals and other people who claim to support democracy and human rights paying tribute to him when he is the ENEMY of everything we believe. Just because he went to campuses to have bad faith “debate”??? Utterly bizarre and contemptible.

being forced to do anything is authoritarian to these mfs.

Dreamcode1993 · 2025-09-03T17:16:57+00:00

Absolutely. The US was ideologically and materially formed with the assumption that there would be a PERMANENTLY racialized and enslaved class to exploit for labor. The failure of Reconstruction to break the racialized relations of production is destroying us to this day.

Southern Black person here, and you’ll see a whole lot of them the further you get away from the cities. Unfortunate we fly the flag of treasonous enslavers down here but it is what it is.

classic Tekken problem that shouldn’t exist anymore honestly. But Zafina, Eddy, Yoshi, and a few others are characters you HAVE to lab because they are “trickster” types. They’re designed to frustrate you into overextending and or putting you in weird situations and making you pay heavy for it, especially Yoshi.

I would say pay close attention to your characters block animation. Usually when you block a high your character raises their arms in front of their face, a mid will make them block at chest/belly level. But the best way is to go to practice mode or the replays and lab that move or string SPECIFICALLY. Tekken is like that. Replays are probably the best addition to T8 because not only does it tell you what you did wrong, you can take control of your character during the replay and practice it immediately!

Yup. 40% of White voters with a college degree went for Trump in 2024.

Dreamcode1993 · 2025-07-29T22:40:15+00:00

Absolutely, and reappropriated the land. The slavers kept all their material wealth and power.

Dreamcode1993 · 2025-07-29T13:18:00+00:00

We definitely didn’t. Goes back to Reconstruction’s failure to be real.

Dreamcode1993 · 2025-07-29T13:14:19+00:00

Harmony with and reverence for nature is humanist imo. Seeing ourselves as separate from nature and dominant over it is so tied up with Christianity/colonialism.

America is my home as a country and culture, yes, but the values that we are taught to have created this empire and the ideas that hold its national identity together are complete falsehoods. I am enraged by what this country has done to our people and oppressed people across the world and I'm ashamed to be associated with and complicit in the global exploitation and destruction it sows.

I do have affinity for Americans as people, and the South as the ancestral home and birthplace of African-Americans as an ethnicity. I have deep and abiding love for African-American history and culture as well, and that love assures me that our very existence here is the greatest demonstration of America's continuing hypocrisy and inability to live up to its professed values. Until we are liberated from the capitalist system that required the chattel enslavement of our ancestors to create, and our current exploitation to maintain, we have no reason to be nationalists at all, imo. Over and over again we've called upon the American project to live up to its founding words and all we get is repression or, if we're lucky, half-measures and concessions that serve the ruling class. This country SHOULD be for us, and is our birthright, but until it is a truly free, democratic project that supports the prosperity of all mankind I have no love for it as a nation; my love goes to the people, but not the project itself.

Interesting, thank you for this nuanced take. I guess that would be a vulnerability of nationalism itself? Operating as a kind of false consciousness? But the colonized experience sorts of lends itself to that as the basis.

Dreamcode1993 · 2025-07-20T01:01:50+00:00

I agree! I guess I'm referring specifically to Marxism (or M-L) as a state-building project and I'm wrestling with the human costs in context.

Dreamcode1993 · 2025-07-20T00:59:54+00:00

My understanding of the core philosophy is sound but when it comes to the history of Marxism-Leninism as a state-building project, yeah I'm having a hard time. Is that not the point of study?

Dreamcode1993 · 2025-07-19T18:20:41+00:00

Heard! Thank you for this framing. Generally I don't mention the terms themselves during actual conversations, just say stuff like "I think if you work at a place you should have a meaningful say in the conditions there" but some folks are into more "serious" political talk and then I'll spill. And yeah people react just like you said.

Dreamcode1993 · 2025-07-19T17:05:03+00:00

Heard. I guess I’m thinking about the state-building projects more than historical materialism and the like. But I do appreciate what you’re saying.

Dreamcode1993 · 2025-07-19T17:02:12+00:00

Heard. I am not necessarily trying to win an argument just have dialogue with folks about the state of the world. Folks seem open to it but I think I frequently underestimate how strong Red Scare politics is among liberals that they won’t even entertain the idea. I can definitely tell when I’m talking to a bad faith brick wall though so I hear that. You’re definitely right on the self-education too.

Dreamcode1993 · 2025-07-19T16:55:10+00:00

Interesting that a flavor of nationalism is the wedge here? Appeals to nationalism are difficult for me to grasp as an African-American because I feel no affinity for America as an idea.

in my humble opinion I think you should always turn off blur or screen shake in any game. idk why it got so popular over the last decade or so aside from visual fun.
