I dunno, I don't really see her caste status as a big factor in her political rise/career. Also, she's not really the "settler" since she was born here right? It would be her parents that are the "settlers"? But wouldn't "immigrants" be more appropriate for her parents? It's not like they came here to dispossess the natives of anything. I think you're really stretching your analysis here with both the "Brahmin" and "settler" thing. She's bad, but not because of those reasons.

I see what you're saying, but ultimately I think it doesn't have to do with the violence itself and more to do with the overall way in which we frame things. For example, no matter how hard a creator might try to make something seem "brutal" or "anticapitalist," there's gonna be people that interpret it completely the other way. Kind of like the "Squid Game is actually pretty cool! Also it's pro capitalist and anti communist!"

Same thing for violence I think. Like past and current indigenous cultures are very close to "violence" when it comes to things like hunting and slaughtering livestock for food, but you didn't see the kind of brutal violence you're talking about until things colonialism/imperialism.

I could see a future communist society that doesn't have issues with real life violence but still has action movies and video games. It doesn't really seem like a contradiction to me.

If you go to a climbing wall you'll be surrounded by hot, ripped leftists.

In my experience they may seem "leftist" but they are at most AOC democrat sheepherders. They're also the type that stopped masking immediately when all those around them stopped. They're the types that wanted to vote for Biden in 2020 cuz "muh harm reduction."

Honestly, fuck gym climbers. The real ones are the ones who dirtbag and climb outdoors. The indoor climbers are just a bunch of liberal PMC motherfuckers that can afford to spend $90 month at a climbing gym. They probably work for some military contractor or some other industry like that and will ultimately side with the fash because they are liberals.

Also, they can be pretty vain as well. Just look at the motherfucking dudes who climb with their shirts off in the gym. They do it for the sole purpose of "impressing chicks" smh. Some girls do this as well by basically wearing bikinis while climbing. Which honestly puts off any new climber who's not skinny or "hot." Good luck taking a heavier/bigger friend with you while climbing. Whatever "salt of the earth" there was in climbing is completely gone and it is now just as commodified as football.

With that constant roaring sound plus the noise of 200 people?

On the plane sound is really audible. From my experience most ppl on airplanes are pretty quiet.

"this is how we've always lived so it's good"

Uh I didn't say that.

This actually doesn't seem too bad. In a way it's like a mini digital detox. I don't really see anything wrong with it. Kinda weird to see ppl here acting like it's "psycho" to try this. Humans haven't had any kind of tech for 99.99% of their history, so kinda of just being alone with your thoughts has been the norm and what we basically evolved with. What's actually "psycho" is thinking that constantly having something entertaining at your call and beckon is normal. To anyone that thinks otherwise, take a deep breath, step back, and really look inward and do some self-crit.

It's only because it seems to be associated with red-pill stuff that ppl here seem to be so annoyed with it. If it was a marxist that advocated this, would ppl really be so upset? I could easily see Breht from Rev Left advocating for something like this. Honestly this just seems like "bad guy does stuff, so I don't like" shit. Once again, the western left is basically just "vibes" and "feels" in a weirdly idealist way.

So Iran is the only country in the world that legalized the sale of kidneys, and as a result, they don't have any wait lists for kidneys. Regardless of how you feel about it, it's an interesting case study (from an anti-imperialist nation to boot) about the effectiveness of the system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_trade_in_Iran

A six sided dice where each side has an actual activity you can do IRL to organize instead of asking randoms on the internet which games you should play? wtf is this reddit tier shit lol

We shouldn't be using "patents" to measure "innovation." That's what the dumb ass capitalist patent freaks do. "Oh you think intellectual property is BS, what about all the bajillion patents filed last year????? SEE ALL THAT INNOVATION!!!"

I don't really care about steroid use in sports. It's just not fair that certain people get genetic advantages, so if you want to make up for not being tall or having a certain body build, go for it. We allow it in other areas of life, so why not in sports. The whole "it's unfair whaaaa" thing sounds like some moralistic capitalist bullshit anyways. They always use their advantages, but lecture the rest of us to "play fair"
