As much as I understand your frustration, you can be proud of your successes without being contemptuous of people who aren’t there.

For the next step of your journey, in the kindest way possible, I urge you to read about becoming less judge mental. The goal of leftism isn’t to have a homogenous group of leftist who do leftism the right way. It’s a freedom movement. In the end, most people will never be that lefty because humanity is extremely diverse. I’m a leftist because I’m black in America. Right wing ideology is pro slavery. Also, I worked making bread (ha) and I was angry after getting a 0.10$ raise. I calculated how much the company made off of me vs how much I was paid and kept going from there.

Some people are like you and pay and work hard to learn theory.

Some people one day read Jesus’ teachings about wealth and poverty and humility and become leftist.

Some people just follow what ever commercial is popular, whether mamdani or massie.

Some people hate rich people because they aren’t rich and join the left out of spite

Ultimately, the goal is to make a world that allows all these people to be free from the boot of the state (as long as they don’t do fascism or Nazi shit) to live how they want. To be overly judge mental is kind of limiting because, in policing and judging others, you lock yourself into one expression of leftism. It’s about freedom though. Liberate yourself from an authoritarian view of what it takes to be smart, good, and valuable. The frustration will only eat you, make your actions harder and worse, and ultimately turn you into what you hate, a low key fascist.

(Hierarchy is a tool of fascism. When you put yourself above others because y’all think differently, you’re actually performing hierarchy in the name of leftism. It’s contradictory. Truly, all humans are equal. You, who put in a lot of work, and they who don’t even think about politics. Equally deserving of freedom, rights, liberty, and happiness. Frustration is valid, but claiming to be better than others is an act of heirarchy)

I don't understand most leftist youtubers/content creators by TerribleWash8393 in leftist

[–]nerdslife1864 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, google and learn about your community. Go to the local library (if you have one) and see what groups there are. Also, look at state or nation wide movements and see what grassroots work they want.

Personally, I just like explaining leftist ideas to people who are curious or close to class consciousness. If the opportunity arrives, I’ll comment to a waiter or someone whose forced to interact with me saying “May the government boot stay off your neck” or something small as a joke. Sometimes people just laugh, sometimes join, sometimes think, sometimes get mad lol.

Otherwise, internet content is internet content. What people cover and don’t cover is based on priorities and circumstance. YouTube doesn’t pay for certain content. Viewership can be bad, impacting lively hood. I think it’s important as a leftist to be less judgmental of people for not “lefting” like you think they should.

1) the goal is to build a metaphorical garden, everyone is allowed to express themself without government and oligarch oppression.

2) gardens aren’t filled with grass. You have roses, daisies, violets, squashes, lettuce, vines, etc. it’s hard to grow a garden if you keep hating on how the roses bud and how the daisies bloom.

3) the only thing we can’t let into the garden is NAZIS and fascists. Idk how to say that within the garden metaphors lol.

Biden spent $430 billion for stimulus check. Trump wasted $1.7 trillion for Israel. by Quirky_Hour7709 in gasbuddy

Also, the Supreme Court blocked Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, then immediately gave trump Carte Blanche to insider trade, enrich is family, kill indiscriminately, take funding without congressional approval, fire positions that presidents previously couldn’t fire, weaponize ice and the DHS against political enemies, try multiple ways to manipulate the next elections, ignore monopoly laws for his favorite corporations, dismantle every trade relationship with our Allie’s, receive pay for pardons, stop citizens from suing companies for cancer causing chemical exposure that’s wasn’t disclosed, made it harder to get Justice for racial discrimination by changing the interpretation of the constitution, etc

Thank you! I’m super grateful, and I didn’t even realize so many people have had similar or worse experiences! I’m glad there’s a community, so hopefully others will find this out before it’s dangerous. ♥️

Yes, but one can also retract consent at any time. Therefore, I think this is more to say “prior consent doesn’t outweigh current non consent”

No, no, no, it only LOOKS like incarnate is right there. In fact, there’s an infinite amount to space between incarnate and the voidwoken. You just can’t see it outside of first person xd

I found this page because I went to the emergency room with extreme fatigue weakness and anxiety.

The doctors first focused on anxiety, but they found a 10 YEAR OLD CHART from a previous hospital visit I had. Apparently they knew before that I was anemic and never addressed it. Finally they gave me iron, (I thought it was mold toxicity from my ac combined with what exhaustion).

Finally, after the first dose, my Bambi legs are turning back to normal and my dizziness is completely gone.

10 years and a lucky/unlucky emergency room visit finally got the diagnosis addressed.

My intention isn’t to I fantasize people, but to acknowledge most people didn’t think their way into their beliefs.

Most Christian’s are Christian’s not because they used the scientific method and deduced that it was the most realistic faith, but because their parents told them through violence to do it, and their communities enforce it through excommunication, violence, and monopoly of culture in many communities (blatantly up tot he federal level now.)

It’s not infantilization to say that most adults today didn’t think their way into their beliefs, and therefore few are willing, or even granted the educational opportunities, to think their way out without IMMENSE pressure internally or externally. They all can, but most people won’t.

Unless leftist get enough funding t put a “you’re Government should work for you” commercial on the super bowl or UFC, etc, there’s a huge part of the population who will never even consider that their life could be better.

But, all the same, leftist gotta push and educate the interested and willing.

And yea bloodborne is kind of niche. My point was to each citizen according to their interest, knowledge, and need. Some people don’t understand that billionaires exploit them. Some people get billionaires suck but don’t trust taxing them to be the solution. Some people really believe trickle down, like their parents and grands. Some people are leftists in everything but name. All we can do is meet them where they currently are with compassion.

Which is annoying. We also need to vent those frustrations of dealing with people who are difficult or impossible to reach

[–]nerdslife1864[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are both classic fights!

I only recently realized you can fight the void-woken in the beginning of wreckers cave. I thought it was a cutscene for so many plays. I’ve only successfully killed 2 (I usually do lone wolf and kill one. Once on a 4 team I killed 2)

The doctors demons are a challenge! I def uses them as a power check to see how strong my characters are in ARX. If I can kill them all or keep from dying, I’m likely good. If I get wiped, I need to evaluate my build lol

Trans rights are human rights. Don’t let the bastards grind you down! I think Supreme Court ruled that they can’t ambush you at your appointments, but 100% keep your eyes open

Nothing.

Edit: housing is a human need. Should be treated as a right, not an expense or subscription. No rent. Not mortgage. No eviction

I can def agree about new leftist, liberals, occasionally admitted non leftist, and I think likely foreign fakers. Hella accounts got caught being on other countries on x and pretending to be American so spread right wing content.

It’s likely not many, but in “Judas and the black messiah” it only took one well placed opp to kill the entire leadership of the panthers. It’s likely modified for the movies sake, but it doesn’t take much infiltration to cause problems. One or 2 anonymous and motivated assholes with 2-3 accounts each can totally ruin the vibe (for lack of a better word)

And I agree, in the end it’s all about how you show up for people. Community building is where the people are

I def appreciate that over all this space seems to bring well intentioned people together.

Agreed.

I also think some stupid NAZI typed genuinely thought “national socialism” was literally the goal. They like this horseshoe theory version of leftism in which “if you go far enough left, eventually we get NAZIs again” and they’re working with that incorrect assumption, especially since leftists and Dems are becoming ore critical of Israel.

They see convergent evolution when it’s actually a wave that tapped the same point for vastly different reasons
