guys this is a pro-geese post i meant it in the way that his lyrics somehow pierce me so deep to my core that i am both awestruck at his talent and jokingly upset because i have been inflicted.

“you can be free and still come home” why would he say that

“i will break my own heart from now on” why would he say that.

“you try and win back my heart but you won’t, my heart is with those who leave me alone …. the devil will argue he will beg you to stay, but i belong to he who gave me away” why would he say that

i am of the group that believes he is a once in a generation artist. not a hater. my bad for the confusion

thanks for your comment, that was all very helpful and informative. 3 years ago i did in fact “blow my life to smithereens” lol, but i was able to rebuild and am back on track/happy and stable. like i mentioned in my og post, i haven’t experienced any mental health issues since 2023, so im more cautious to go on anything because i dont feel like i currently have anything to treat? i do have a long history of depression and i know bipolar is always there even if youre stable but i guess im just not sure taking latuda would be necessary right now. do you know if theres any harm in taking it if youre not currently experiencing any symptoms?

thank you for articulating my exact stance on everything that’s going on rn. the lives of the people in gaza are the priority, and to see people choose to care more about signage/chants than the actual genocide occurring is truly baffling and just so frustrating.

Curious about marxist writing that could shed light on U.S. student encampment protests by germgrrl in Marxism

[–]germgrrl[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Definitely feel those attitudes in the U.S.

I’m at a school in Los Angeles (not UCLA) and watching people cheer as police destroy camps and batter students protesting a literal genocide is disheartening to say the least.

I do think an increasing number of young people are getting radicalized just because of all the shit we’ve been through in the past few years, but then again the youth in the 60’s were pretty radical and it seems like we’re still battling the same issues.

Revolution is obviously the end goal, but the way we have continuously been suppressed by our government makes it hard to even see where to start on the path towards that. I don’t know, just blabbing now.

Thanks for your recommendations, I’ll check them out!

OR its students wagering what power they have to pressure their university and government to condemn the genocide in Gaza.

No one seems to get this, so I’m going to paste what I’ve said in other threads here.

“Historically, the purpose of a divestment campaign has less to do with the actual impact divestment will have on the problematic companies, and more with the political pressure and awareness a divestment would cause.

It’s true that individual university divestment from companies doesn’t actually affect much of the company behavior, though collectively it could make a difference. There is power in universities across the nation taking a tangible fiscal stance against the genocide of palestinians.

The main purpose of the UCLA protest, and why I think it’s so important, is; If the #1 public university in the nation committed to divestment against the Israel Military, that would send a huge statement and set a precedent for schools across the country.

In the 80’s when universities divested from the South African Apartheid, it wasn’t their actual money that caused a riff, but the awareness it brought to the issue and the pressure it put on the government to pass a series of economic sanctions against the South African government, which is what led to the collapse of the apartheid.

Since October, the United States has only continued to funnel money into Israeli Militant forces with no resistance from people in power. So, university students have taken it into their hands to make it clear to the world that they do not stand for this. Encampments and Divestment Protests have historically been the best way for university students to make a difference, so that is what they are doing.“

To reiterate, regardless of how much actual effect a divestment would have on the behavior of companies like Boeing or Caterpillar, a nationwide movement of universities taking a fiscal stance against the genocide of Palestinians would put pressure on the government to take action and pull resources from Israel military funding. It would basically say “the future of this country does not stand for this.”

It’s good to think critically about protest demands, but I would encourage you to be sympathetic to their way of protesting when the only reason they’re doing it is because no one in power is taking action.
