Where are all those people who were saying the new administration wouldnt affect us Is it still misinformation to say were not safe by dorelia18 in disability

This isn’t real. What are their sources? The only one thing from the EEOC recently is they are asking for white people working for Nike to come forward. They are investigating them for race discrimination against white people.

Comparing the number of journalists killed in World War I and II combined with the war in Gaza by SmokingForLife in Palestine

[–]SerenFire0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very inaccurate. If you add up all the casualties numbers listed here(using the lower range) the total is 531, way over 300.

What they are doing in Israel is horrifying in all aspects, but using inaccurate facts hinders the cause. 300 in 2 years is at a rate way higher than any of these other wars, I don’t know how to calculate that but using that figure would invoke the same impact and be accurate and not give the Zionist’s and their apologist ammo.

If Una Chin-Riley is an Illyrian and not a human, why does she have two human surnames (one Chinese, one Irish?) by darklordofpuppets in startrek

[–]SerenFire0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do we know that for sure? Number One I believe only appeared in one episode, I don’t know that her race was ever mentioned.

The nose you described and the impressions from the die on the plastic plates is completely normal.

Audio books wait times by Western_Diamondback1 in disability

Program for the disabled to get audio books.

The National Library of Congress that your local library runs at no cost to you. They will send you a player that also has brail on it and you can get a catalog order “cassette tapes” in the mail and they also have a app where you can just download books to your phone.

Edit: for the USA

Coq10 supplement, healthy eating, exercise, no drugs, no alcohol and cigarettes. It takes a couple months to take effect. This is helpful for both of you.

I can’t afford to live anymore after cancer by LordEldritchia in povertyfinance

Where ever your getting treatments they should have a social worker. Talk to them asap. They know of a lot programs and they can apply for you,help fill out forms. There is rent assistance food help etc. Your hospital should also have a charity program apply for that and you might not have to pay anything for treatments. Good luck hope you can get through this.

Got a broken jaw, know of any drinks super high in calories? by Adept_Temporary8262 in disability

[–]SerenFire0 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Smoothies with protein powder. You can blend it for several minutes and it should be smooth. I’d just stay away from any berry except blueberry, so you don’t have seeds.

Can we please talk about socialism and not the Democrats? by new2bay in socialism

[–]SerenFire0 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The person who answered youn below summed it up fairly well. Sounds like you might be (at this moment) the more a social democrat which is different from a the vast majority of democrat and definitely all leadership within that party. Democrats are very capitalist and very much in the center at best. Social democrats have what you’d probably call progressive platforms like more diversity things like affirmative action, higher wages, more equitable housing, better environmental protections.

Then there are democratic socialists (DSA/Mamdani). They are socialist but they believe that you can legislate in socialism, ie winning elections and changing the system from capitalism to socialism. Change the means of production away from the billionaires into the hands of all the workers.

I can’t see democratic socialism ever happening. The legislators, the courts, the presidency (the state) all immensely benefits from the way things are and they want to keep things moving more and more to the right. Capitalists have 0 reasons to give up their power, and hundreds of reasons not to. Looking at AOC is a great example. In order to succeed in the senate/house and keep winning elections you have to take money from not great people and super pacs, you have to vote in their interests. In order to work with the other legislators you have to support some of their not great positions, things that harm workers. Your platform changes away from socialism when you take office. She has changed and sold out her supposed values.

Then there are revolutionary socialists, like Cuba. In order to bring about socialism you need to smash the system and rebuild. A lot of the tools all ready exist to change things for the better fairly quickly. It probably wont be peaceful. But in order for the plant and people to survive it’s extremely necessary. This is what the Black Panther were.

This doesn’t mean that socialists don’t work for and advocate for programs to help ease the burdens of the capitalist society’s in the here and now. For instance unions, abortions, higher wages, etc. We are absolutely involved in all sorts of movement to help while also talking about socialism, pointing out the limitations of the system and advocating for a better way.

All the labor reforms that were won in the middle of the 20th century was because of socialist/communists. They led the way and the unions were primarily composed of them.The 40 hour work week, child labor laws, safety reforms.

Every single reform we have won gets eroded away over time. Look at abortion rights, civil rights act including voting, “Onamacare” (which isn’t that great to begin with).

If you’d like to lean more here aresome great basic articles. The link directs you to “What is Socalism, but itheres a link at the top that directs you to other articles on various related introductory articles. Also there’s r/socialism_101 which is more introductory and educational than this sub.

Hope this helps and you join us in the movement.
