Being not immune to culture, I saw recent articles about the Solid Snake active listening; more accurately “Aizuchi“. Being a generally poor listener, I decided to give it a shot!

I’d say it works well! At the very least it gets me to pay enough attention to where I can even offer an interjection. Normally I’m just waiting to talk, but this turns that on its head enough to make a difference in how i converse. Kinda neat!

Anyone else tried this or similar?

Anarchists have the best bookstores! And the zines!

Jokes aside - I think there’s typically a misconception of what anarchism actually means (probably because there are so many flavors/bastardizations) - and in Amerikkka it basically means libertarian/individualism but they used to skateboard.

I recall this site/cth was big on getting people to read Conquest of Bread in the early days. And that was my first exposure to left theory.

I can’t claim to understand the intricacies of ancient social interactions (I barely understand modern ones) to know why I should care that Marx and Proudhon had a falling out, for instance. But I’ve found that anarchist writing (Proudhon, Kropotkin, Bakunin) resonates as much as anything Lenin/Marx/Mao/others have written.

My personal interest in this overlap is how Indigenous communities have historically integrated both ideas pre/post kkkolonization - like federations of otherwise disparate groups which operate independently but as a collective. One example I found https://www.jstor.org/stable/41604467

Idk maybe I’m just a book nerd 🤓 and really like stuff with pictures of angry cats on it

You’re a gracious person for the chances you’ve given and should be proud of standing up for yourself and your lived experiences - other people are sometimes quite oblivious to the trauma their words can cause, especially to folks built sensitive to that sort of thing o7

Maybe he hopes to eventually become governor or a senator?

I’ve heard rumors of both; but I think he’s vastly overestimating his “broad appeal” outside of city liberals. I’m always down to see a lib boss battle (milquetoast-off) against the klob though - maybe she’ll staple him

Primarch Empathron got bullied too much growing up and keeps to themselves mostly nowdeeper-sadness

When they Conquest the South Pole but you’re still Cumming

Tfw you’re arrested by the Cumming police after jacking a load of cummingtonite

My dark humor is that I find it odd society is so against nonverbal autism - when what they really despise is actually listening to people on the spectrum. I hear you. I’m pretty impatient (read overly forgiving) of this sort of thing and give one or two chances to improve before you’re dead to me. Also fuck their garbage-ass therapist lol

lol the vibes this gives are those of a senile removed rambling to farm animals who equally don’t give a shit

And it’s right by the capital of Uruguay!

Over 20,000? That’s a thriving metropolis to me

What if instead it was the FRIDGE wallet and you used it to carry around food

ahahahahahahahaha (laughs Greekly)
