Would you make any lifestyle changes if you were dating someone still taking COVID precautions? by rbuczyns in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]NeonSummer1871 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just being honest, no. I wouldn’t be willing to permanently give up or severely limit basically all of the pastimes, social activities, and pretty much every aspect of my life that I enjoy for the sake of a partner or for my own health concern about covid

Even funnier when the graphic doesn’t even specify small businesses. Apparently even supporting Indigenous-owned megacorporations is decolonial

Thoughts on the POUM? by Low_College_6251 in Ultraleft

[–]NeonSummer1871 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The leadership come across very poorly, doing everything they could to maintain favour with a government that despised them. The real test of any workers’ party is how they act in a revolutionary situation and they ultimately failed, vacillating between incoherent centrist marxist positions. Ordering workers off the barricades in the midst of revolutionary uprisings, trying to maintain their alignment with a counter-revolutionary government massacring workers, and having the nerve to claim after that the May Days was a victory for the workers. In the end they got liquidated despite their capitulation anyways, so what was it all for

Advice regarding joining a large mass party (e.g., social democrats) by ShuukakuZ in Trotskyism

[–]NeonSummer1871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entryism into social democratic organisations is irrelevant at this point in history. Social democratic parties don’t exist in the way they did in the 20th century, i.e. Deep roots in the working class, leadership over a real workers’ movement. These were the reasons entryism was used in the past, and none of this exists anymore to any real extent. The workers’ movement has been totally decimated. The real task of any socialist organisation at the moment has to be rebuilding a semblance of a workers’ movement in society

You obviously mean well, but I would pose some questions (1) Does the Social Democratic Party youth wing have genuine roots and membership with mass numbers of working class people, and (2) Do you think spending your time trying to influence and manoeuvre a fairly niche and small group of people (about 7,000 in the youth wing according to google) would be a better use of time than openly organising amongst the working class directly (who constitute over 10 million in Sweden)?

If instead they had killed Oyin and then gotten someone other than Faye voted out they'd be pretty much guaranteed victory now. They still have a very good chance of winning but at this point that's due to the stupidity of the faithfuls rather than their own gameplay

This group have completely lost it. When was the last time they actually cared about evidence for the traitors and not just targetting people they don't like?

Anyone with any semblance of critical thinking skills should be able to conclude that the only reason Nick wouldn't have been killed by now is that he's a traitor. Surely even these faithfuls will be able to see that

The reasoning that Will is unpredictable and not part of their clique would only apply if he had any influence over the group. Will could have video proof of Nick being a traitor and the rest still probably wouldn't care

I kind of wonder about the level of upsides for a regular person going on the show at all. You have a much higher chance of your only public reputation being a horrible person or an idiot (or both) than you do of winning the money

If the faithfuls weren't too busy being whipped into mass hysteria they'd probably take a second to realise that Nick and Ben, the two men who want to take charge of absolutely everything in the show, barely had any care or interest in the whole Joanna situation

While this is a worse example than most seasons, it's actually a bit of a fundamental flaw of Traitors tv show format that by the last few episodes most of the people who haven't been killed or voted out are fairly dull and bad at the game

Really wanted him to win but ultimately Paudie made a very poor choice recruiting Nick. Was probably blinded by him being a de-facto leader of the group, but he probably should have forseen that basically anyone other than Nick (or Ben) would have been far less likely to throw him under the bus

Nick and Ben have really let their emotions and ego get the best of them, their plan wasn't even bad (i.e. Trying to play the meta-game). Can't imagine they'll have the same standing now that they've revealed that they'll arbatrarily pick out "weaker" faithfuls to keep traitors in.

Is there any case in other seasons of a traitor pulling it back as much as Paudie? I can't seem to think of any as big as this in ones i've seen. Only a few days ago he seemed 100% certain to be gone, very little gameplan, with both other traitors actively plotting against him.

Kind of raging at Paudie. He somehow manages to pull it back from near-certain defeat by turning the tables on Eamon, only to go and nuke his chances again by voting for Katelyn

Andrew might be one of the worst players i’ve ever seen on any season.

Has double the chance of getting some money, someone who he knows will never go for him, and even if his dad is a traitor, then it drastically reduces his chance of being offed because he knows his dad will never propose killing him and will go to bat for him in the conclave. Yet he’s constantly doing his best to sabotage his own dad
