This highlighting is quite confusing

Huh? Theres nothing in there about self-discipline?

[-] Clippy@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

might be the og tweet's angle but, i think it kind of serves as some form of agitprop to move people to "discipline themselves" as remarked by the first sentence unlined in red?

it could be a bad translation, but i kind of understood this that the workers should have/develop some form of coherent discipline that is forged from labouring that alongside awareness of capitalist exploitation which will progress to the worker's goals to liberation?

I think that's about the working masses disciplining themselves (as opposed to the capitalists disciplining them) in the sense of organizing themselves; creating schedules, procedures, rules and so on in order to facilitate the production in the workshops and factories

Self Improvement

285 readers
2 users here now

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.

While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.

This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.

Rules and guidelines:

  1. Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.

  1. Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.

  1. Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.

  1. Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.

  1. Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.
