  • Never give up comrade but take a new approachs until you find something that works.

    Ive found some limited success with having my friends and family predict what they think is going to happen and why. I then constantly repeating their claims so they cant forget and pointing out how they were predictably wrong. I mock the fuck out of them for it. Ive lost friends doing this too.

    For example i had republicans and democrats alike predict that biden would pack the court, bring about universal healthcare, resign to make kamala president during his first term or that trump would fix inflation. These were all pretty obviously not gonna happen to me. Why would the bourgeoisie do any of these things? So i honed in on how stupid these predictions are and how dumb they were for not questioning the underlying assumptions that lead them tk belive these things.

    I readicalized a former libertarian pretty well this way. I find anyone who isnt just team dem or team republican are easier to reach.

    Its an uphill battle most people are so full of propoganda and thought terminating cliches that it feels impossible to get to them. The cia has a head start and way more funding but they wouldnt be trying so hard to continue their propoganda if they thought they couldnt lose.

    Idk comrade i hope this helps or gives you a better idea.


  • Personally i think most libertarians are americans who get that the current system is broken and get that the two partues are more about power then doing whats right or smart but from there they lose tbe plot. They feel oppressed and taken advantage of and put that blame only on the state and put none of it on the large private organizations that effect them. Because of that they never really understand why capitalism is exploitative and get stuck in some ayn rand virtue id selfishness sillyness.

    That being said they get part of the way there and their paranoia for the government serves them well in motivating having more secure systems and wanting to be as independent as possible. So they see the value in linux and pursue it.

    I see alot of socialists and lefties in linux too but i dont often see your average republican or dem. Idk just my 2 cents




  • Holy shit what?👀 I’ll admit that the certificate appears to be real. quite frankly I don’t think you have the skill set to fake it that well.

    So your grandmother was actually a stolen generation and you’re still saying that? Does she know you say things like this?

    But to go around with all the white privilege that comes from being white passing and use that to say aboriginals need to get over the past is still disgusting.

    And you are white passing. No one in this thread saw your picture and thought this was anything except that you were white. I know mobs don’t care about DNA but I wonder about yours.

    Right!? What a racist loser.

    Btw cowbee, I see your comments all over and love em. You are very patient and kind and informative. I’m more of an asshole but I aspire to be like you at least part of the time someday. Just wanted to let you know, that comrades you don’t even know appreciate you.




  • I’d love to be wrong but this fantasy about the next president and the underlying assumption that their will be fair presidential elections going forward seems naive at best

    Trump tried to steal the 2020 election but was really stopped by Mike pence not playing along. This time he picked JD Vance explicitly to fix this issue.

    This vote harder/ we’ll get them back next time idea is a waste of effort in my opinion. Better to funnel that energy into a new political party or mutual aid and organization on the ground.






  • Ok you can same the about people.

    But say you and I and 3 other people are in a room.

    We find out one is an active serial killer another a serial rapist and you find out another had stolen $1000 from his own mother for a drug problem. If I make a judgment like " hey dude fuck that serial rapist and that serial killer. " And your response is “you have to accept that everybody does bad stuff”. That would be just as asinine. Just because nobody’s perfect and no institution is perfect. Does not mean you cannot make judgments about which one is morally better than another.

    Ah Europe famous for colonization, slave trade, racism, the literal nazis being the good guys?

    Y’all I’m an American and fuck my country and fuck the current Russian state but fuck Europe even more tbh.

    Also what are you hating on China for? Guess that’s European racism again.
