Fingers crossed Bad Hasbara does an episode on how bad her take was

You write beautifully and convey your agony well. I'm sorry you're suffering such a horrible cruelty of fate. There is no inherent fairness or justice to the world, and there is certainly nothing that you could have done to have caused her cancer. Cancer is something that just happens to some people. Genetics, bad luck, environmental factors outside our control, and a whole bunch of ???????UNKNOWNS???????? are responsible. Not burnt food. Not a doughnut here or there. Not frozen food.

There's a tendency when disaster happens to try to wonder what we could have done to prevent it. The psychological reason is to feel some sense of control and think "well, it won't happen again". It's a protective thing. It's irrational, because it already happened, but humans are deeply irrational creatures and it comes out of our survival mechanisms.

The anger and bitterness you feel are natural feelings and I hope you do not judge yourself for them. It's not disgusting for you to feel the way you're feeling. Grief is a monster. Grief is horrible torture, and I've seen and lived firsthand what it can do to people. It can torture people into being angry and bitter and hateful. It can break people of everything they believe, because the most important thing of all is for the pain to end. Torture breaks people, and make no mistake, the agony of grief and loss is torture.

If you're able to find therapy, you may benefit from it. If you're able to access a grief support group, you may benefit from one. I briefly went to this grief support group before I had a time conflict come up and they seemed good. It was surprisingly helpful. One thing that was good about it was that it is peer led instead of having a system, so people can speak more freely about their struggles without worrying about getting narcd on: https://kivacenters.org/online-peer-support/, they've got a Living with Loss support group. They're based in Massachussets time so I think that's eastern time in the US.

I'm sorry, comrade. This life is not fair.

Well, Russia is a communist country after all. But in reality is not wrong for him to say it, since Trump is a russian asset.

lmao what. The Cold War ended over 3 decades ago and the wrong side won.

Mate, Islam paved the way for me to embrace Communism. Saying this as an atheist, it's silly to alienate people from our cause because they were raised culturally to believe in some religion or another.

Astrology is goofy, not materialist in any way, and really bothers me, but I don't go telling radical comrades I've been out doing direct actions with that they aren't real Marxists because they make that thinking error.

Idk what you said but calling borscht "garbage" should be ban-worthy, it's the official state food of this place.

1st third: Yep

2nd third: lmao what

3rd third: lmao what

Material conditions? Never heard of them.

Basically every successful Communist revolution immediately instates major literacy programs after the initial victory to empower the populace. It isn't a prerequisite.

I have gotten a bit of that vote blue shit from anarchist friends too and it's shocking and mind-boggling, I really can't understand why people who are opposed to government in general want to throw their support behind Nazis!

I hated The Godfather. I don't think I've seen any piece of media that hates women more than it. It felt disgusting to watch. It's also too slow and boring, even watching sped up.

I liked Bernie in 2016. I was reluctantly willing to give him a pass when he endorsed war criminal Hillary Clinton and then again war criminal Joe Biden. The pass was, "I'm disappointed in this grampa but he is an old liberal, I guess I shouldn't have expected more from him. We'll move on without him."

But then he has refused to call the genocide a genocide and has steadfastly supported the genocidal Democratic Party. This isn't a matter of throwing the baby out with the bathwater or a "circular firing squad". Refusing to oppose genocide marks someone as a bad person. He's not on the Left's side, he's just interested in whitewashing the US's image.

This thing he's doing now? Would have been great if he did it right away and denounced the Biden Administration for committing genocide. But now, and when he still refuses to use the g word, it's way too little way too late. This is just an empty PR gesture.

And the thing is, principled people have to reject these empty gestures because they aren't just pointless, they're part of the Democratic Party's long-standing pattern of supporting as awful and reactionary an atrocity as it can get away with, then softening its stance and pretending to kind of oppose it a little in order to trick the masses into trusting that this is progress, the Dems will save the day. I saw this with Iraq too and to paraphrase one of the war criminals behind that atrocity: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice -- well, you won't fool me again. If we don't stay focused and condemn Democratic politicians then people will be mislead into thinking they can still achieve a better world by supporting the Democrats, who are totally going to move left.

It's a lie. A ruse. The Left must oppose the fascist, imperialist, genocide-loving Democratic Party and strip away its support.

I could say more but I encourage you to just read the other comments on this page; I see good comments that are older than this one you wrote which can explain more.

They're nationalist imperialists. I think that is the term we need. Everything about them makes sense through the lens that they only care about their shitty empire. They'll sacrifice anything, any principles, any people, to preserve their empire. They're not, ideologically, Nazis, but they're American supremacists who aren't that far off.

Inshallah

Libs: Joe Biden is the lesser evil!

The greater evil they're defeating by voting for Genocide Joe instead of PSL or Greens: not murdering fucktons of people
