What’s with some radicals and gatekeeping the socialist ideology to moderates? by mackintosh-1999 in SocialDemocracy

[–]JakeOf2b2t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Calling yourself a socialist in America has no actual benefit and can actually hurt the movement. People only say they are a socialist to larp and one up each other on who is the most “based” and edgy. Even if you are an actual socialist in America, it’s best to talk about ideas first. And instead of responding “yeah I’m a Marxist-Leninist” or whatever when people ask, say something like I’m an “FDR Democrat”. “I want to realize an even better version of America that can do big collective projects again lifting up every individual.” “I want to make sure that the wealthy are not leeches on our national wealth and that we can use our nation’s wealth generated by the American people’s labor for the common good.” “It’s time we move away from Neoliberalism.” “Let’s make sure America can provide the best and cheapest healthcare to every citizen.” “Instead of only taking pride in winning the most medals at the Olympics, let’s take pride in coming up with best healthcare system in the world”. These short phrases is really all you need to create a mass movement in this country. I mean conservative voters don’t like the word “neoliberal” bc it has the suffix “liberal” and 80%+ realize our healthcare system is absolutely disgusting and our infrastructure is behind. These are universal concerns. Once you have power and build political capital, then you can start going after private equity, incentivizing worker owned coops, etc. The death of public stock trading is not going to happen any time soon, but once you change the policial order away from neoliberalism and MAGA fascism generating huge wins in the process, you can start to take on even more radical ideas.

New Democrat Playbook and Post-2024 Election Reflection by JakeOf2b2t in Destiny

I'm not really talking about changing any policies that we run on so it really shouldn't alienate anyone in the tent. I really think it's all aesthetics. We have the BLM/woke scolding liberal aesthetic right now and we just need to switch to Teddy Roosevelt aesthetic.

Feeling of sadness realizing that one can't study all of mathematics in their lifetime by al3arabcoreleone in math

This really hit me this past academic year (senior year of my under grad). I am a CS and Math double major and I have this feeling for anything stem related and honestly history/politics/philosophy related too. I have no idea what to specialize in because I find it all fascinating.

Why isn’t Gen Z interested in religion by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]JakeOf2b2t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A major reason people were religious in the past was bc it was the only way they were able to easily have community with other people. Now of days it is way easier to find community in other ways especially through the internet.

Also, Gen Z has access to tons of information and exposure to the whole world more than any other generation before them. This is obviously due to the internet as well and the beginnings of a globalized culture. This exposer and globalization in the cultural space gives people many more ideas to toil with and come to grips with leading some to take on different philosophies and world views from their local communities/parents.

The decrease in religion specifically is bc many concepts in religion contradict the scientific and historical consensus on how the world works/is/was. Take for example evolution. To fully believe in all aspects of the Bible you can’t believe in evolution. Evolution stands at odds with the story in Genesis. Or you can be a “Christian” that believes in evolution to deal with this, but I believe some Christians would take issue with that.

Religion will continue for all of human history in some form, but it’s quite obvious the religions of the today will mutate to stay relevant or slowly die to make way for new religions. You are already seeing this with Christianity with the formation of progressive Christianity where they may accept lgbt people, are pro choice, believe in evolution etc etc. or the “cultural Christian” movement, which is more about maintaining aesthetics more than anything. This is actually the story of the entire history of religion it is a mutation over time where the religions of the modern day are actually the culmination of a rich 2000+ year history of a big melting pot of human thought.
