WHAT THE FUCK IS SPORTS

Come & See or possibly Nights of Cabiria

The sane play here would be filling up your shopping trolley with the most expensive cuts of frozen meat, avocado and then taking the most expensive alcohol and tech you can find, walking out and then hawking it all to restaurants lol

I do when I can but I also find myself without many friends as a result. It bothers me sometimes but its best to be alone that surrounded by creepy men, they just seem to be so many of them lol.

Sometimes you read something and its meaning passes over you till you go and experience something then the quote comes back to you and you now understand things on a deeper level.

Marx made his famous remark that, if their politics represented Marxism, “ce qu’il y a de certain c’est que moi, je ne suis pas Marxiste” (“what is certain is that I myself am not a Marxist”).

This was the quote that I now understood following this experience.

Its a rite of passage as a UK leftist to understand how fucking awful the CPB are. I remember walking up and speaking to a few at a wages demo I was at with a trans friend of mine, saw two old fellas holding a banner and I was naive so I walked up to them and was like ‘whats up commies, im also a commie how about we hangout’ and they just kinda sneered at me, looked at my trans friend and said ‘you lot arent welcome here’

Yeah…

Bore Hole by Joe Mellen - its an account of a 1950s UK anthropologist student who decided to drill a hole into his own head.

Watch ‘Come and See’ - in general just read more from the actual sources of those our countries demonize.

I started to engage with socialist lit and art to get a more rounded view of things as im a sociology student and they teach you to consider many perspectives, not just one singular one. Turns out most propoganda falls apart when you actually bother to consider the other sides perspective and gain a better understanding of how ideology is shaped and manufactured.

I would really reccomend engaging with parenti and althusser as academics but also on a lighter note try out some propoganda from the USSR about the US - https://youtu.be/PAwxe-i19pg

On top of that consider liberal conceptions of ‘social progress’ - like if we compare womens rights in the 1960s between the UK and the USSR. In the USSR women could get abortions, rent was 2% of your income, martial rape was illegal and women could have bank accounts and go into pubs by themselves. None of this was true in the UK.

People like you focus on the 1-2 progressive people who get elected on suckering people like you who put them on a pedestal while you ignore the other several 100 democrats who are fine with genocide and act like this is progress.

WHO UP MEWIN THEY GENICS
