For my American ass it was weird coming to the same conclusion. It's amazing how taboo it is in America. Like the fuckin boogeyman.

Hard to not feel like we're reaping what we sow if we don't elect the only candidate campaigning on medicare for all.
I'm just saying.
Welcome comrade! Comrade sensei... that's a contradictory title there.
I guess I'm just talking in general that some people might have this idea. Not really directing it at you. Just expanding on the subject.
As far as I see it, I have no reason to believe that political parties, the MSM, etc, aren't parasitic and oppressive cultural institutions imposed on common culture or humanity, and consequently for my own sanity I'm just going to stop investing them with my moral and political hopes, because by that light continuing to do so would be ridiculous.
i mean it's not a nefarious plot
it's the capitalist class and their political allies defending their intrests and a traumatized population not finding Bernie worth the risk
he can have come up short independent of the clear collusion to manufacture narratives against him

Oh yeah for sure, and I mean it's clear that he did.
Hillary's favourability was historically bad for democrats and trump is the president it's really not surprising at all why biden is doing better
But like if you want to understand where we're coming from it's not just bernie good, establishment bad. Socialism is a worldview based on materialism and the suppporting concepts which separate it from liberal idealist politics.
We can't have a productive dialog if you don't engage with the framework that informs socialism/marxism/anarchism/communism.
more in reference to Kyra's question
The whole point of socialism is to align people's class interests against the elites. The problem as a whole is that the elite have undo power that must be defeated by the numbers of the individually powerless. That's what Marxism is all about. It just doesn't make sense to use the goal as the cause.
I mean, bootlickers do exist, but as a whole Socialism is a pretty easy sell. The only thing that makes it difficult is entrenched power of all sorts. There's a long history of very brutal stomping out of any Socialists gaining steam that goes beyond the democratic party. That there was no violence against us this time makes the actions of this election actually kinda tame compared to what we usually face.

So, my workplace was just ordered to work on distance indefinitely because of covid. I will start to re-reading Captial III and then move to Red Emma Speaks. My prophetic dream from a month back of Trump ordering the suspension of all elections indefinitely feels more close now than would want it :/
We're definitely heading there, but our government has its head in the sand. This isn't gonna go well, I'm afraid, we should already be on lock-down.
Sorry to bump the thread for this but could somebody send me whatever needs to be sent for me to have access to the Discord? I have never really used it before but this is a pretty comfy group for the most part so I thought I may as well check things out
This is my frustration. These things are all great and part of any serious response to a pandemic. But we should have them all the time! Rather than waiting until the house is on fire.
The sickening thing is some companies have only offered PTO after public criticism. Can't even be humane during a pandemic.
Friend of mine who works in the Netherlands just told me they're all expected to go to work even though many people cough, and that one of her colleagues, who has asthma, had to fight to be able to work remotely. Needless to say, my friend pretty much only needs a computer, an internet connection and a phone to do her work. There's no need for her, or most of her coworkers, to physically be there, unless you want to control them and/or your main worry is that they won't be *gasp* productive enough.
Fuck them all to hell. It's highly immoral. If you subscribe to the idea that there is such a thing as "treason to the country", then this is treasonous behavior. You do not jeopardize the safety and health of your employees, and of your fellow citizens, like that. Absolutely abhorrent.
On tone and power imbalance:
Do you believe the term "Boomer Remover" is insensitive?
Do you believe older generations have placed systematic blockades for younger voters? If yes, what are some of them?
Do you believe systematically disadvantaged people should be able to express their frustration? What is the limit?

My 63 year old dad laughed at "boomer remover" for what it's worth.
Insensitive is kind of vague, I think jokes like that are definitionally 'insensitive' (by virtue of making light of something ostensibly serious) but that imo doesn't entail that we should care or do what the boomers apparently want and preferentially reserve all of our care for their specific concerns to the exclusion of ours.
So idk technically or broadly insensitive but in context is 'appropriately sensitive' in that we're not really given a reason to prioritize their concerns over ours or really anything against why this joke exists in the first place.

It's not exactly getting easier to defend the Democratic Party.
And that's how centrism "gets things done". lol
We're lucky they aren't thinking of making this a part of a grand bargain where they say they have to do austerity to compensate.
I agree with this. Being indefferential and vulgar can be understandable if not appropriate.

My work has been dead the past few days (I work at a thrift store) to the point that they've been sending us home early. I'm wondering how long it'll be like this, I guess the revenue must be enough to justify the costs of staying open and having labour or they would have shut it down, right?
Quite astonishing how in a face of a global pandemic, people will still chide you for "not being productive" even in a self-quarantine.
Capitalism has absolutely fried people's brains where if you aren't actively trying to make Number Go Up something must be wrong.

Must self improve for corporation benefit at all times. Tool must be better.
Anyone living with parents? How to stay sane during self-quarantine?
I was living with a friend last year working up in LA but both the job and living situations ran their courses so I moved back home with parents with the intention of taking a few months to work locally temporarily and figure out my next long term job/living situation. This was back in January...

I don't care one iota about "respectability" or "civility" in politics, so it's all A-OK to me.
Ah. That said, only one poster.Anyone living with parents? How to stay sane during self-quarantine?

Might as well remove healthcare from that tweet, it's highlighting how broken the entire country is from the top to the bottom.
Rent control, UBI, M4A and mandatory paid leave among other things are looking pretty good right about now.
just wanted to follow up on my post from a few days ago and say thank you to all the folks who said such nice things. i didn't expect such a huge outpouring of support in response to my post, it really meant a lot to me. i'm not gonna post on era anymore (for real this time i swear) because it's bad for my mental health, but thanks again, your words really helped me out. seeya folks and good luck, we'll win, no matter how long it takes <3.
