getfiscal posted:i accidentally started debating someone today and i came across as rude and stupid to them and i felt really sad about it even after apologizing. i can do politics pretty well as long as it's sort of generic leftism but it when it comes to defending concrete historical socialist perspectives i end up boiling over with anger because western leftists are so dismissive and rude. like no one accepts that you might have a different opinion, they just assume you're poorly read and stupid and need to be insulted. but if i get worked up about it then it's just me being an idiot because no one perceives their attacks on other socialist movements as being real attacks. i hate this sort of thing and i just shouldn't participate in it.
yeah i prefer to just quietly undermine everything an opponent does from the shadows, the mature adult way of resolving differences

I too got into an argument with some white ppl about the absolute science of marxism leninism and the historical legacy of the great proletarian cultural revolution the other night at a bar. Went ok, I don't expect to win the argument, just show them that anti-revisionists exist in the first world so they remember u when JDPON happens

Got to be careful out there...

i understand that's a show trial but it's still sort of weird that an 81 year old woman is testifying about something that happened when she was a child more than 70 years ago. like obviously they could ask her anything and she'll start spinning stories about how hitler visited the camp and she got in a public debate with him and everyone clapped.

is this not, more important, than The Truth. the Truth is that Hitler was a sad damaged man with broken dreams of art, who could have been redeemed thru the love of a good dog, which is frankly shit

Have been working as a volunteer assistant teacher for an English language program in DC for three weeks now. Its a small thing, but it's work that provides me with an opportunity to practice public speaking while at same being rewarding for its own sake.
Would have mentioned this sooner, but I didn't want to bring it up till it was too late for them to let me go, lol...

it's totally "NBD". the revolution starts in the kitchen, and then the bedroom, and then you work your way out to the computer forum where you light up the fuckifn piggies online
