I'm currently in incredible awe by the absolute decadence and luxury the mexican bourgeoisie lives in. I mean, I know they are opullent, but just watched some videos on TikTok of the kind of places they live in and holy shit! I will never in my life be able to afford even the cheapest one. The comfort and luxury these people live in is something that make even my wildest fantasies come out short. I was thinking that if I ever get to movw out of my mother's house and live in a modest and moderately comfortable place some day that would maybe be too much. I sometimes feel guilty of wanting to live like that in a country with so much inequality, but these parasites are literally galaxies beyond what I could even dream. It is impressive, disgusting, outrageous, depressing. I don't know how I really feel about that. Amusement? Hate? Rage? Hopelesness? Don't know.

Now imagine the amount of labour needed to upkeep those places and guess who does the job... the mexican 'patron' is the worst scum on earth (prob the same as other latin american countries), utterly incompetent, disgusting attitude towards workers (malinchistas) and they are all alcoholics. I come from a landowner class in north mexico, inherited a big chunk of hectares of land so i have experience dealing with other patrones, its like they make them out of moulds.

Completely conformist with our position as raw material producers they have managed to manipulate people through mass media into thinking that it is more profitable to sell raw materials than making commodities with it . Utterly incompetent and lazy drunkards. 😂

Selling your countries resources, exploiting the poorest members of society, and running drug money and guns, will all get you very rich.

Although you are definitely going to hell, and your life will most likely be much much shorter then average the second another capitalist usurpes you or you outlive your usefulness.

Basically it’s a project where land is artificially added to a body of water

Apologies for being offtopic. I have noticed that the link "z-lib. is" has been declared a scam site on the official zLibrary reddit (https://www.reddit.com/...). Although they have a clear internet adress (https://singlelogin.re/), the reqirement of an account, the personal domain management and the occasional instability make them quite unfit for the average lurker looking for a book.

Decided to take down the Bill post. The feedback was really helpful for me and I appreciate the comrades that made an effort to respond.

That being said, I need to chill on the drama posting, unconstrucive sectarianism, and dumping my personal issues on the grad. This place isn't my personal diary. Being a hot-head on social media is a bad combo. Often I let those instincts get the better of me, I'm too old for that kind of behavior. Being surrounded by reactionaries on the daily IRL will take a toll. Maybe in the future I should focus more on the arguments being presented, instead of focusing on the other factors. For example instead of saying 'Bill is a dummy for saying communism=no iPhone', I could ask 'does anyone have any resources on light industry under a socialist system'.

Anyway I'm sorry if my presence here so far has been a net negative. I'm going to try and be better in the future. I want to leave a positive impact on this community, because this place is awesome, you comrades have done more for me than you know. That being said, I'm excited to start 'Theory Thursday' on GenZhou, be ready!

I think a lot of people here have been there. But ultimately you only hurt yourself by letting your energy become anger. It's a frustrating ideology to have, especially if a lot of people around you are acting reactionary or clueless. But in moments like that, think about how you were a year ago, five years ago etc. I'm sure there were some positive influences on you that got you into this ideology. Now think about how you would have reacted if a lot of them showed a lot of anger and negativity instead of being helpful, patient, positive.

It's okay the be passionate, but allow yourself some time to reflect on your emotions before typing out things. And always act as if the person you're replying to is acting in good faith, worthy of an actual constructive answer.

Stay and learn, comrade. You will undoubtedly have good things to contribute to this community.

Hip hop community would be great, or even just music in general since traffic would prob be low.

I’ve been thinking about starting a football/soccer community, maybe just general sports for the same reasons. I don’t wanna be the one who has to moderate it tho lol idk how that works exactly.

Need more casual discussion about hobbies/interests on here. Also r/soccer and my club subreddit are just completely unreadable these days, even going there for basic news is painful.

If it's true, they're deflecting and missing the point of the criticism.

I am under the impression that tritium discharge isn't a huge deal. But that's not what the Fukushima water problem is about.

Chinese media have been reporting for months if not years that TEPCO and Japanese authorities don't even know what other radioisotopes are in the Fukushima waste water and at which concentrations. The filters used aren't appropriate and only certain isotopes are even tested for.

I never understood the obsession with fireworks here in the United States. They’re only amusing for a few seconds… the first couple of times that you’ve seen them… and after that they’re just annoying. People light fireworks starting a week or two before the fourth of July, and sometimes the day afterwards, and it only pauses during nighttime.

The stink and all of the litter that they cause is almost nauseating. I’m lucky that I don’t suffer from battle fatigue, because then these nuisances would be truly insufferable.

amemorablename 3 points 3 years ago

I feel you. I do like the pretty colors of them when I can actually see them and some shows are pretty neat in how they put the colors together, but I only find the noise tolerable in that context (which is usually at more of a distance) and most fireworks set off casually or in a context where I can't even see them just end up feeling like I'm surrounded by loud noises I don't want to hear. People also set them off at any and every hour in my experience, and any and every day that is near the 4th and sometimes other holidays too. 😐 It would prob be more tolerable if there was like an hour during which everybody did it and then it's done.

I wondered if I was the minority on this, because I haven't really cared for them for a long time.

You mention the stink, what do they smell like? Is it like a gun powder smell, and is it only when they're set off really close by or can you smell them from kinda far away? I have a problem with my nose which makes me almost completely nose blind and didn't know fireworks smelled until just now.

I’ve never smelled gun powder, but if I had to describe the stench it would be kind of like burning paper, only maybe more putrid; it’s definitely smoky. I can smell it at medium distances; it’s less noticeable than the smell of a bonfire.

Depends on various circumstances, perhaps most importantly where you live (particularly imperial core vs. periphery). If there's a solid Marxist (ideally Marxist-Leninist) party/organization (with a focus on both theory and praxis, not electoralism) nearby, you can try joining that. If not, I'd recommend just continuing to read theory for the time being (ideally with others), particularly that which is relevant to your country or wider region
