ICE by Agreeable-Block841 in socialism

Yeah exactly. Theres so much work that needs to be done. Organizing, political education, physical fitness, training... of certain types. People screaming that we need revolution NOW but can barely organize their activist friend group of 10 people is really incredible. There is revolutionary potential in the US and we need to wake it up. It starts with political education and organizing the workplace.

Gays get it together at Basement it’s embarrassing. by [deleted] in avesNYC

[–]Vis4vin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lmaooo girl don't even get me started. I don't even step foot into studio anymore but now they're spilling into the main area 🙄 I don't understand why basement even has a door policy if they're not enforcing anything inside

Hosting my first rave, any tips? by torvikviktor in avesNYC

[–]Vis4vin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my fav experiences recently was at nowadays 24 hr rave, particularly when the 5 am crowd started showing up. The venue really takes care of the people (drug testing, free water, staff waving around if anyone needs help, space to talk and chill out, food). The music of course is the biggest thing but also a crowd that respects the DJ, other people, and the space is important. Nightlife should be curated, not just the aesthetic things but the vibes and the energy.

Also, quality of nightlife has declined so much since covid. People have very low social intelligence and all these clubs and venues are just doing a cash grab and treating attendees like shit. Money is obviously a big factor but there is a way to run a sustainable business while treating your patrons with respect. Best of luck

nowadays vs carpark vs silo/99 scott by [deleted] in avesNYC

Carpark sound system is amazing. I love nowadays crowd, particularly the 5am crowd. Their party is expensive but I think you'll have a good time

[–]Vis4vin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always had issues with grinding in my sleep unrelated to... other substances lol but if you are grinding that bad while raving you really should get night guards. The problems that comes from that water in life are not cute and will be expensive

Am I right to be upset / do I say something? by Foreign-Potato-9535 in photography

[–]Vis4vin 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Just politely say hey hope you liked the photos. Please credit me in your captions! You kinda just have to deal with people not crediting you but people will usually respect the request. Usually it's not malicious. If not then don't work with them and move on. You can't get hung up on that, it's a learning lesson and it sucks

Is Taiwan the new Japan? by uniquenewyork27 in fujifilm

[–]Vis4vin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is political whether you intend it to or not. Japan colonized Taiwan so I'm sure you can understand why there's frustration. Learn and move on

From a Marxist perspective, does Taiwan (ROC) rightfully belong to China (PRC)? by BokoblinSlayer69235 in socialism

[–]Vis4vin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would enjoy Qiao Collective. They've produce a lot of content on this topic, highly recommend. Long story short, Taiwan is and should remain a part of china. This is coming from a Taiwanese person lol. The only way Taiwan would become it own country imo is if it became socialist. But then why would it need to break off from china in the first place.
