Did I misunderstand it? He is claiming that in a perfect democracy the leader would eventually be an idiot because the people are idiots no?

I’m claiming that thats a stupid fucking way to view society and that it isn’t even close to being reflective of our reality.

The US is not a perfect democracy lol. I’d hardly even call it an imperfect one, atleast for the working class.

I don’t really. It’s a treat sometimes that’s it.

Mandarain opens up communication with over a billion people

Trust me I know exactly what I am in for and you should too. I don’t expect things not to get violent lmao? These are fascist we are talking about

Starting a new nationwide party is practically impossible

We have no other choice

It scares me how much power it gives the ruling class

I am very much asking you to abandon the Democratic party which has failed you and seek alternatives. I have not see a thoughts and prayers sentiment I have seen a get your shit together and join organizations who will actually do something sentiment

This sounds very different from the chili I am used to. Gonna make this and report back in a few days.

Any idea as what would work best as a meat substitute here?

ChatGPT is awful for the environment and should not be used

Communism & Palestine

Its so good and I’ve only just scratched the surface. Not even at the eclipse yet, not that I have any idea why that event is so significant lmao. My roommate got me into it and has been hyping it up.

Enough to meet the needs of me and my loved ones for the rest of our lives. I already can’t fucking sleep in comfortable conditions

You should try reading actual political theory. You’ll find that western politics isn’t and has never been grounded in reality. It does not have a material basis and as such it gains support primarily through the people’s emotions, especially fear and anger.

Here’s some easy reading to get you started

• The Communist Manifesto[Text][Audio]
• Blackshirts and Reds[Text][Audio]
• The Principles of Communism[Text][Audio]
• Introduction to Political Economy[Text]

I don’t expect to shove books like this in your face and actually have you immediately read all of them. You may not be at the part of your political developement where you have any motivation to do that. So here are some youtube channels that cover the material in them and apply that material to modern reality in a more easily digestable way. These are great resources that can teach you a lot but they are not and should not replace reading actual political theory. In my experience these helped develop my understanding of political economy to the point where I had sufficient motivation to read that theory.

• Second Thought
• 1Dime
• Balkan Odyssey
• Bes D. Marx
• F.D Signifier
• Fredda
• horses
• Andrewism

None of these people get everything perfect all the time but they are generally good in my experience. Best of luck learning.

I wasn’t suggesting that Republicans don’t do this

If only that were true

Both American political parties do this often. It’s much easier to attack your opponent for their transgressions than it is to prove your own aptitude and it seems to be just as, if not more, convincing to the average person. I don’t think this should be particularly shocking.

Oh shit thats what galeophile means? I hadn’t bothered to look it up 😭

Edit: It’s actually really fucking funny that I did not realize that was referring to me. Or that I am known enough to have a meme made about me? Perhaps I need to touch more grass

Blue people?

Probably CNN?
