Just because something is “marxist” doesn’t make it objectively correct. I don’t limit myself to things Marxists did because that’s a silly bastardization of Marxism.

I can take inspiration, but that’s a different thing entirely.

I care much more about the well being of humans than insects.

There is no reason to care about a human being that provides you no benefit more than an animal, other than pure prejudice. Human beings do not have “greater moral value” or some insane shit like that. The only possible justification we could use to prioritize human beings is some variant of “might makes right” bullshit which is just fascist schlock and leaves no room for the human beings that aren’t “mighty”. Or some weird pseudo scientific argument that animals feel less pain than us or something, but everyone agrees that’s highly suspect anyways.

Either all conscious life is sacred, none of it is, or the life that you care about or directly benefits you is sacred. So, it’s valid to care about humans more, but don’t pretend it’s an objectively correct belief, because there is no such thing in that field. I could claim that crickets are way more important than human beings and have about as much grounding as you as long as I legitimately believed that.

Does it make more sense to prioritize human beings because we’re all human and want to be prioritized? Yeah, that makes sense. But hurting animals is still sus under that logic.

Let’s not pretend the stigma against veganism doesn’t exist.

It definitely does, and it makes it much easier to for them to push this shit.

Wait, the “other cultures eat bugs” thing is a racist stereotype?

how much of it is just chuds throwing a fit over hunter biden having furry porn on his computer or something?

it’s a good argument against imperialism when you’re trying to convince the people who live in the Amerikkka

the fact this is downvoted while a meme that explicitly just dunks on anarchists without any real critique to it is just sad

The narwhal bacons at my axe

Tarot apparently has actually benefit as a tool for self-introspection, and has a decent community of people who believe in it without wanting any profit from it, but i imagine the industry as a whole is garbage

seems like a weird thing to specify. are people who are “too lazy” to revolt not considered human then or something? I understand the necessity of the working class to liberate itself without some sort of outside help, but there are lots of situations where it isn’t immediately possible

Carnal pleasures and animalistic instincts are good and normal actually

I’m not sure what the Great Journey is but most people probably won’t take it if it involves denouncing those things

Weird child rape person in the OP is just unhinged, evil, and completely disconnected from themselves. our “animalistic instincts” tell us not to rape children all the time, and those whose instincts don’t shouldn’t be allowed near children in general

Edit: I think I just replied seriously to a Halo shitpost, fml

Doesn’t the title mean that slaves who can’t revolt should be left under oppression or am I massively misreading it? I assume the latter but I’m struggling to find an alternative interpretation

Then I would agree with you in principle, but I don’t think a revolution is impossible in the imperial core, then. White people just make it significantly harder.

There is no way to retreat into a pre-internet era. Instead of self-flagellating and guilt-tripping, pretending we can escape our wired future by unplugging, we need to take our participation in the medium seriously and in a way that integrates well with our offline organization

GOOD quote

settler-left

would this not imply that a indigenous led party would be capable of revolution?
i personally do not subscribe to the idea that revolution is impossible in the imperial core
it’s impossible (or very difficult) in the United States because the military apparatus is extremely extensive.
It is not the fault of moral failing or lack of commitment.

I agree with the spirit of your comment, but let me nitpick

We are not organized, there’s no discipline, no organizational structure, no mechanisms to enforce things, no participation to come to conclusions and analysis.

We can simply create organization, discipline (as in enforcement of behavior) is entirely possible with the correct online organizational structure, there are plenty of mechanisms to enforce things in an online organization, and participation would come with time

These same criticisms could have been made about the idea of making the first socialist party before the first socialist party was made. These are things that we have to build ourselves no matter what.

It would be possible to create a more unified “posting brigade” while still allowing the actual, already vehemently socialist places like lemmygrad to be as meme-y and silly as they want

they might be right but > paid for twitter

this world is not built for human beings. escaping to a pretend one is basic self preservation
