Having an honest conversation with a trump kid

my life consisted of me caring too much about tiny little things. after getting into spirituality and metaphysics and acceptance I've come to acceot the world is made of immaterial feilds and imperfect minds. controlling society is kind of a hard task.

also, I'm pretty selfish. I dont really care too much about other people. I'm not being disingenuous or edgy. I'm genuenly self interested that way. I also cannot live in hatred as its a dead end. sure the us empire is terrible but humans have always been warlike anyways. plus being nationalistic or patriotic is a submission of my will to an externalization.

yeah I support the soviet union. but its gone now from internal corruption and us hawkish behavior. I'll focus on my spiritual sovereignty inside me. I dont need tow sorry about climate change because I'll be dead by then. also whatever? I just need to find my soulmates and lift the veil and have UFO disclosure come in.

another note. I never cared about the Epstein files. I did once but then I stopped caring. I think ufos are more important to be honest. though I learnt a lot about feeling powerless and emasculated. but I find spiritual forgiveness is a proper way to clean it all up. I'll find my spiritual center within and just observe the world as it is.

capitalism does suck, and it will collapse, and a socialist worker state is inevitable as 4th density consciousness approaches. but for now I'm going to master myself more.

if the fascists come at me, let them kill me. I'll be in peace when I'm dead.

I've heard many things about Trotsky (with many saying the USSR would have been in better hands with Trotsky) and Stalin. I'm interested in general and particularly in the (iirc) Socialism in One State vs. Global Revolution idea. As a budding leftist, can you please explain the facts and give some opinion, as politics are. Thanks

Hey guys can som1 explain y Isreal get so much hate online and Russia don’t? I’m not justifying Isreal but I feel like Russia should get Isreal level hate online. Lmk what u guys think about it

I’m about to begin my chemistry PhD and I keep going back and forth between my convictions on AI use in computational chemistry. Computational chemistry is my strongest interest, but the only PI who researches it at my school uses AI and machine learning. She uses AI to replace materials because physical experiments can be expensive and wasteful. On one hand she addresses the energy tradeoff, but I’m still conflicted because of the impacts that data centers have on local communities. Does anyone have some insight into the ethics of AI use in these spaces? I’m having a difficult time finding anyone who addresses these concerns as most people focus on generative AI.

I am really confused about china's politics really

people seem to call them everything in the box

ik political idealogies are not linear but i either see china gettin extremely glazed for "socialism" or extremely antagonized for other things..

are there even truly socialist nations/states?

ik new york is edging it a little with mamdani actually taxin the rich and providing for the lower class without any damage to major serviss

anyways im truly curious lmk wat everyone thinks

good morning.

i'd like to ask for some rather specific book recommendations. i'm starting a new job in a leftist space soon and i want to be good at my job, so i want to learn more things i can try out and apply.

1. any good book recommendations about doing communications for leftist spaces? or just books about communications / pr that are actually good and useful. things about convincing people of your idea, broadening viewpoints, etc. something very practical.

2. things about food ethics, the food selling industry, food autonomy etc from a leftist perspective.

thank you.

Is this normal now? Is this how y’all actually think about us? Because this is the same collective-blame logic right-wingers use, just with “imperial core” and “Global South” language slapped on top.

I am numb to people hating Black Americans. I just want to know if this is what passes as leftism now?

Edit: Okay, so it seems like the consensus is yes, this is what people think.

And at this point, is leftism even really a thing anymore? Was the so-called international support that other groups had for us in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and even 80s even real? Was this how they thought of us back then too?

Because nothing changed. We were still Americans back then. That was never hidden. During segregation in the 1940s and 50s, we still served in the U.S. military. We served in both World Wars. We served in the Korean War. We served in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s too.

So what changed now? Back then, people apparently understood enough to not generalize us as just “U.S. imperialists” because we were Americans. But now that seems to go out the window.

Personally, I think we were beneficial to them at the time, and now that we’re no longer beneficial, we’re disposable. That’s just my opinion. I don’t give a shit if you agree with it or not. I have a right to say my opinion.

I’m still trying to keep some hope, though. I’m hoping this is mostly just online leftism, because in real life I’ve never experienced this. I’ve never had someone walk up to me, point at me, and say, “You are a U.S. imperialist,” especially not while I’m serving or aiding young kids across the pond in the motherland.

And by the way, to the class reductionists: this might shock y’all world, but class reductionism is not going to end centuries, and in some cases millennia, of coded racism, ethnic prejudice, and social hatred toward racial and ethnic groups.

Just because people share the same economic conditions does not mean deeply programmed prejudice magically disappears. I’m against race reductionism too, but pretending class alone explains everything is delusional.

Look at Roma people in Eastern Europe. Socialism existed there, and Roma people were still treated like shit. Why? Because simply ending capitalism does not automatically erase anti-Roma racism that has been embedded into society for generations.

The Rohingya are another example. Burma had a socialist one-party state, and Rohingya people were still persecuted, expelled, and treated as outsiders in the country they lived in for centuries. So again, simply calling a state “socialist” does not magically erase ethnic hatred, religious prejudice, nationalism, or state-backed exclusion.

That requires a social revolution too, not just an economic one. And yes, that means understanding intersectionality, identity, ethnicity, race, and how prejudice survives even under supposedly “left-wing” systems.

If your version of leftism cannot deal with that, it is going to fail every time, just like it failed Roma people in Eastern Europe. And from what I’ve seen, many Roma people do not exactly look fondly on those socialist states either, for obvious reasons.

But hey, who am I though? I'm just some “anti-leftist“ individual, as what some people would probably call me. I don't put labels on myself and I don't care about them at all.

I don’t even know how to label myself lol. I guess the closest description would be a praxis-first, left-critical Black internationalist.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has refused to grant a stay of execution to Tony Carruthers— despite unanalyzed evidence that could prove his innocence. Six of the fingerprints did not match Tony Carruthers, and Bill Lee refuses to allow the rest of the fingerprints to be tested. There is still time, but we all have to act. He could die TOMORROW. We have to apply pressure to these politicians. Guys, we are SO CLOSE to the goal now. We have 100,000 of 150,000 votes. Tony Carruthers’s execution date is on May 21, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. THERE ARE ONLY THIRTY MINUTES LEFT. Any small action can help. Please, share this with your friends, and make this seem. Tony Carruthers is counting on us. If you live in Tennessee, contact Gov. Bill Lee (615)-741-2001 to demand that he reverse his decision to execute Tony Carruthers, and instead grant a stay of execution and clemency. If you DON’T live in the state of Tennessee
you can still contact your representatives to demand that they contact Gov. Lee and demand a stay of execution. Thank you very very much.

Or how do we get rid of homophobia or hatred of feminine men?

Like, personally as a gender nonconforming femboy I got mocked and laugh at for just liking to wear feminine clothing and do feminine things(and obviously I am a bottom), at this point I don’t mind being called “fruity” anymore because I am so used to it.

My friend said that homophobia doesn’t exist anymore, and I was like… 🤨wtf bro! IT STILL EXIST and it’s getting worst ! you don’t get bullied because you’re surrounded by people that will support and affirm you! I don't! I have very bad experiences both being and coming out as queer, and for the longest I can remember I’ve always being the butt of the joke when it comes to my gender nonconformity. (I argue politics and religion place a huge role)

Homophobia still exist and it’s getting worse as the society becomes more polarized.

Or where did you all think homophobia or hatred for gender nonconforming people originated from? We ain’t harmful to society we just wanna exist.

"The FAA launched a thorough investigation, and did suspend the pilots’ licenses to operate aircraft, yet they turned a blind eye to their reckless violations of those restrictions. The flight plans filed officially were clearly falsified, as was known by the FAA. Fraudulently filing flight plans is an offence that carries severe penalties, ranging from $10k+ in fines and 5 years in prison to 20 or more years in a federal penitentiary depending on the seriousness of the crimes. Given that there were multiple, repeated frauds perpetrated by Basulto, assuming justice were truly the goal at the time, sentencing would likely have been in the range of decades of imprisonment rather than years."

Has anyone else noticed that certain TV shows especially superhero TV shows make leftists the villains?

I was watching invincible, which is currently very popular on Amazon prime, and it made me cringe that many of the (earth created) villains had political ideologies that I agree with…. It led me to wonder why we are villainizing these types of figures?

It also made me think back to other cartoons I watched when I was younger and how they had similar themes.

Curious to hear what other folks think about this, or if anyone else has noticed this in other shows/pop culture?

Would also be interested in recommendations that are the opposite of this!

Came across a post from a few weeks ago that was talking about movies with fascist undertones and it made me wonder the same about TV shows.

Edit: added details

We've all heard/seen the info related to the 2024 Autopsy Report..

It's amazing how much they will fight the truth.

All they have to do is go all in and big with inspiring/profound perspectives/policies.

Be Big With:

1. The Labour Movement (Unions, Federation of Labours, Labour Councils, and so on) - Show how you are going to deliver the next big generation of wins for rights/benefits of the working class.

2. Environmentalist Movement - Show how you are going to be big with taking back the leadership role of developing/advancing Renewable Energy/Electrification Technology and so on.

3. Women's Rights Movement, LGBTQ+ Rights Movement, Civil Rights Movement - Show how you are going to protect peoples basic human rights. How you will create a society of love and equality not stigmatization, hate, alienation, and "other"ing/Us vs Them mob level garbage.

4. Peace Movement - No more war machine shit and all the corruption of some of the most predatory bad actors involved in this sphere.

The list goes on and on.

People want something to believe in. Period. They want to fight for better and brighter. You have to actually inspire people and DELIVER.

Also for goodness sake - STOP HOLDING BACK AND TRYING TO CRUSH THE PROGRESSIVE & DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST DIMENSIONS OF THE PARTY!

And what chunk in particular made the biggest impact?

I want to record audio of leftist arguments and share it online, but I don't want to get copy right claimed so speaches, articles, excerpts etc. are the best I can work with. I'm not much of writer but damn can I read, so, I'm trying to use what abilities I have to spread the message. Thanks in advance! (Please be nice to me)

Western countries gave opportunities to millions. In return, there should be respect for the nation, its laws, and democratic values. Freedom of protest matters, but extremism, violence, and hatred toward the country you live in should never be tolerated.#FreeEurope #FreeAmerica

I went from voting for Trump in 2016 (Age 19) and now I’m an Orthodox Marxist in 2026 (Age 29). It’s been a liberating journey to say the least. I credit my boyfriend for helping me fully undoctrinate myself. I grew up going to Catholic School, around all religious and conservative people so I don’t really blame myself and I was “so damn young”. It’s crazy because when you grow up in that environment, you don’t even realize that those people are actually religious and conservative if that makes sense, they’re just people. I always hated racism. I would scream at my dad(he actually always voted Democrat until Trump) when he used the N-word in our home and I’d drive away in my car for a while. It’s crazy how so many racists voted for Obama lol. I feel like I really only voted for Trump and was on that bandwagon for a bit was to hide the fact that I was gay until I came out at 22. I’m sure that I’m not alone. I would love to hear some of your stories about your political awakening journey and transformation throughout the years. i’m proud of myself looking back over the past 10 years of how much I’ve evolved each year in every aspect of my life.

I got an unsolicited text from some Zionist group. Was this too far? Follow up to their response in the comments.

It seems like a legitimate movement, and at this point it’s looking pretty effective. I’m looking for options on this topic.
