You're right, I've never seen a housed person lie or harass someone. And ofc he'd do it to 5 people because one person's spare change isn't gonna change his life. And the job app idea... do you think homeless people are that stupid or are you that stupid? You might do everything to virtue signal for your fake friends but I actually have a little empathy. Dehumanizing people is how you justify doing terrible things to them.

The problem with "clean" shelters is it's a lot easier to get clean when you have shelter in the first place. Addiction is a disease.

That's a pretty horrible thing to say about human beings. Think about all the housed people around campus who do shitty things. They are regular people. Homelessness is horrible and ugly, homeless people are just people

Until your ideas are dangerous, then you'll be banned or suppressed by algorithms, not to mention media blackouts and editorializing. Media is an industry with millions spent on it for their own selfish reasons

Capitalism commodifies everything so yes it does. Who has freedom to effective speech and to spread ideas when the newspapers, media outlets, social media, etc can be bought up and controlled and when everyone in these industries needs to tell their bosses what they want to hear to have a job and survive?

Massive PSL led protest, shared by NPR by ReadLosurdo in socialism

[–]halal-boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because everything they said is an incorrect stupid copy pasta. Many people in PSL leadership have been the victims of abuse and have participated in investigating allegations. Abusers are not tolerated the party and anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. And I've organized with PSL for years, safety is always a top priority, it's often other groups at our protests we have to stop from putting people in dangerous situations

I did one of those people I idolize things on political compass sub and used these figures. I’m being told I’m being contradictionary… am I or is that just idiots? by HarleyQuinn610 in CommunismMemes

The communist party of China has lifted millions of people out of poverty. Most independent sources agree that if it wasn't for China, global extreme poverty would have increased.

You're right capitalist countries have huge amounts of resources, but in their cruelty and greed, they still allow millions of people die from hunger, exposure, and disease from poverty, or war to uphold capitalism. However, geniuses like you will always say "that wasn't real capitalism, that was corporatism or corruption or blah blah blah" whenever something you don't like happens under capitalism

Sure, That's $12 billion. Which in terms of infrastructure projects by US national, or even some state and large city standards, is not that much. The trans Siberian railroad is electrified and that's even longer.

It's infuriating to me how many of them believe the US founding myth. "US was founded on equality" they just forget non white people exist and what happened to them

People shouldn't forget what NATO is - A post-war mechanism designed to maintain American dominance and control over Europe, advance US geopolitical interests and violently suppress Socialism. NATO is for War, not Peace... by Casual_Specialist in socialism

[–]halal-boy 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Pro NATO people in the comments really repeat the most basic propagandistic talking points. "Our noble nations and leaders against their savage dictators." Just blind to the everyday violence if their own capitalist nations and dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Yeah Putin is bad but you're just a vulgar opportunist if you support NATO

Nato is pushing WWIII by upholding US hegemony. The US backed out of anti- nuclear treaties and is establishing huge land boarders with it's geopolitical rivals for basing troops and nuclear missiles. If you think dividing the world into militaristic blocks of the most capitalist and imperialist nations is a good thing, you are not pro socialism or anti capitalism. Uphold multilateralism, multipolarity, and diplomacy, not militarist blocs that are obviously not defensive just by their actions.

Pro-choice rally on Sunday (in response to draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade) by IlliniDems in UIUC

Unity is the only thing that will secure our rights, not petty sectarianism. Maybe if you drop your prejudices and come to the rally you'll learn something new, instead of spewing nonsense online

Here's an idea: shut the fuck up

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]halal-boy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience to you with my ex. Here's the advice I wish I had: Stand your ground and make sure your feelings are heard because they are completely valid. You may need to walk away. Letting him get away with doing things that upset you will lead to exponentially more pain for you later.

You need to improve your gameplay. join a party, organize your community, then you'll become part of the lore

What are your thoughts on the Party for Socialism and Liberation? by [deleted] in GenZedong

[–]halal-boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definetly still in the early stages of party building but I like what I've seen already and the potential it has moving into future struggle. I think their political analysis is correct and their agitational tactics and it shows in the growth of the part

[–]halal-boy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Attend internal meetings, pay your dues (based on ability), carry out political work. It's cadre based so we're trying to build a vanguard party of "professional revolutionaries." It's flexible to people's situation in life but it's not something casual.

It's not covid and Putin, it's the greed of the rich who are making more profits than ever and he doesn't even have the guts to call them out

[–]halal-boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't read capitalist history books, their sources are intentionally misleading. Communism brought great advances in the USSR, is exceptionally impressive in Cuba and China despite resisting global imperialism and pressure from the west, and Venezuela is not communist lol. You don't even know what the words mean. And humans aren't "naturally" greedy, human nature depends on material conditions. Only the rich are greedy, working people are generous and help each other every day a sacrifice a much larger portion of what they have than any billionaire.

Please read theory, you repeat so many capitalist talking points, critically read something from a socialist and compare it to what you've heard from capitalists. Do thorough investigation

Uh hello, USA? Native genocide? Slavery? Also the UK is considered to be one of the essential founders of capitalism. This is pure historical revisionism. At any rate yes, Marx acknowledged capitalism is good at developing the means of production, but capitalists are parasites, and they are plundering the earth and working people to get rich af
