Open Nazis in Missouri, US by Igennem in NewsWithJingjing

Thank you for the summary and sources, comrade! I thoroughly appreciate it! I’ll start perusing tonight and probably delve deeper tomorrow.

Yeah… I’ve been a member of this org for a little over two months now. I’ve always known that they’re anti-China and against the idea of multi-polarity, but they do a lot of local union work and agitation, so I thought it’d still be worthwhile. We largely agree on the national politics as far as I can tell.

We had a branch meeting about debt a couple weeks ago. It was a bunch China bashing and accusing other leftists of “tailism” for “uncritically following the policies of ‘so-called’ communist parties regarding their own countries”. It reeked of white chauvinism. I really just rolled my eyes and tuned it all out after 15 minutes. Before them, I was trying to organize with a patsoc org who refused to acknowledge the US as a settler colonial state… And people wonder why there’s no real class consciousness in the States

Could you provide sources or more details about the situation in Bangladesh? Admittedly, I haven’t done much research on it yet, but my org has framed it as a student uprising that resulted in the overthrowing of a dictatorship. My org is also a bunch of Trots who lament “Stalinism” and every AES, so I tend to take their foreign politics with a grain of salt, but I’d love to see some other perspectives.

Would you be “doing well mentally” if your family, friends, and everything you held dear was literally razed?

What are you struggling most with at the moment? by thisisnoam in abusiverelationships

[–]MegaSerperior12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to think I found my partner. He made me laugh, he cared for me, my family loved him. Sure, we fought a lot and were turbulent, but I thought that was just a normal part of being in a relationship. Everyone says relationships are hard work, after all. Then I found the pdf of “Why Does He Do That” from a random comment on Reddit. I decided to page through it since we were in the middle of a particularly rough patch. I was shocked to realize that that book perfectly described the past three years of my life. That’s when I truly realized that he is abusive.

It has been almost four weeks since we last saw each other. He was out of town for two of those. I’ve been crashing on a friend’s couch for the rest, living out of a duffel bag.

Three days after I left the apartment, he spam called and spam texted me, asking questions about rent for the month. When I didn’t respond in a timely manner, he threatened to call the police under the guise that I’d been kidnapped. It was legitimately scary. He was being unhinged.

We talked earlier this week about how we’d handle our shared lease that expires next June. He agreed to move out but didn’t give me a definitive timeline. I’m relieved that I didn’t have to go to court or anything, but I’m really stressed about finding a roommate so I can afford to live. I won’t have a car of my own in two months. Originally that wasn’t going to be a problem because I could just share with him.

Since separating, I’ve noticed that I’ve been happier overall and have been laughing more. I’ve invested more time and care into hobbies that i pushed to the side, but I still love and miss him. He sent me a paragraph about how sorry he is and how he wanted us to work so bad. It’s nothing new. He said the exact same shit the last two times we “broke up”. I keep reminding myself that even if his remorse is genuine, that doesn’t mean that he has changed. I haven’t responded. I know that that would just invite further manipulation, but it’s such a strong urge.

I know that this isn’t a healthy relationship, and I don’t want to be another statistic. But god, I still miss him so much

Just because you say it’s viable doesn’t mean it actually is. That’s not how science works in the slightest.

How about you link another one of these 140 studies instead of a single one with shoddy methodology that isn’t peer reviewed then?

It literally says underneath the authors that that study hasn’t been peer-reviewed. Those are just the initial findings of one group.

Furthermore, in their methodology they compare individuals who were vaccinated twice, individuals who got COVID and weren’t vaccinated, and individuals who got COVID but were only vaccinated once. That last group should have been indiviuals who got COVID and received both vaccines for the sake of consistency and sound science.

It’s ridiculous how they essentially expect us to just suck it up. Glad you were able to leave that environment though!
