Large Cane Toad

Well I’ll put it this way, the Reddit demographics tend not to be people who are forced to make a living doing something like ship breaking or mining in a third world country.

I’m 29, all I do at my job is stack totes and I’m fine with it. Pay is low but I deal with it by being efficient in my daily living in ways like splitting bills with my brother, being very close to work so I spend little on gas, eating healthy so I don’t have to worry about expensive medical problems and so forth.

Whatever you do, just make sure it’s something you actually want to do. I knew someone who went $30,000 in debt for a teaching degree only to discover he hated it and ended up working in retail anyway. Also, whatever you do don’t go into a job that will ruin your health, even if it pays well all that money might just end up going towards paying for medical problems that the job caused.

Look, I sympathize, and I don’t really like the way it seems they rolling over so easily either but… calling for an overthrow which has a large chance of just creating further damage and instability this early seems a bit premature. Deng’s China and their deals with the US could of been viewed as capitulating too and yet here we are.

Even if so…there are at least 150 other countries out there that would be better off having a revolution then Venezuela which at the bare minimum is still progressive and opposed to letting fascists take political control.

I recently moved from overwhelmingly majority white rural Ohio to a majority black community in the south and it’s been a huge breath of fresh air, even as a white person myself. The racial political difference is massive and made it abundantly clear how reactionary politics in America overwhelmingly stem from the white population.

The most insightful thing Canadians researchers could teach on the subject is how the Soviets could of correctly and successfully done genocide instead if that was their goal.

You would think chess players would know that you don’t make sacrifices for the sake of pawns.

I’d say I only started off as “liberal” in that I believed what every westerner is made to believe by default, that the USSR was a scary place that killed millions and stuff like that. At some point I wondered “Ok but…why was the USSR killing millions?” which is never really explained well in the liberal narrative beyond saying that communism is evil because…well…just cause. Then I actually started learning and that was that. I thinking meeting people on online forums from other countries also helped a lot and helped me learn things that just wouldn’t of been possible otherwise.

I did inventory management in a retail store once and we lost far, far more items to being poorly loaded and smashed inside trucks during transport then to theft, and there was never any accountability whatsoever. When things get stolen though everyone loses their minds. I can say though that police really don’t give two shits about hunting down shop lifters after they are gone even for expensive items so there is that.

The JCP is one of the largest communist parties in a non-socialist country that also happens to be a US vassal but it comes at the cost of it being infected with this sort of left-liberalism. Just a product of it’s environment really.
