Me destroying my body with fatty high cholesterol foods, alcohol and cigarettes is revolutionary actually

Hey guys just so you know, if you firebomb a Walmart or Amazon fulfillment center with enough people that's actually a really good way of pressuring electoral officials. Imagine it's like saying "do what we want or we'll kill you and do it ourselves"

Isn't this the whole thing that liberals do at their protest? I could see this as viewing the spectacle of peaceful protest as a goal in and of itself, but communists generally are the first to say fuck peaceful protest the workers are the power of the state. It's actually such a stupid viewpoint that clearly lies and misrepresents reality so that they themselves are the heroes of the story, rather than a smug asshole content to drink champagne as the world burns.

It's just so stupid to say goddamn Marxism has no theory of power. MARXISM! The smug aura of this person infuriates me.

Edit: hammock vibes

I'm a gen-z-er and I remember those. Relatively poorer area though so it may be related

I'm in the same boat. I could probably say where that belief comes from within myself but i think that's usually just a waste of breath.

Pastoral agriculture is a farce in the way its used to hide away the crimes of Tyson and the like but as someone who's been tangentially involved with the collection and processing of my own meat it really just doesn't bother me much.

When is it wrong to kill an animal?

When the point of doing so lacks use value and/or harms the natural balance of the world. Trophy hunting, industrial agriculture, poaching for animal products of endangered species .

When is it wrong to kill a human? I feel like this is a useless trap question. Regardless of that, questions of just death have been argued over for centuries. I'll try and give some examples. Probably if they're too much like a fascist, sell out our planet for the purpose of money, sell out people for the purpose of money, kill like 2 or 3other innocent people or something?

Sometimes, but then I stop.

These faux "concessions" you're making in order to make your pseudoscience sound more palatable are easy to see through. You're pathetic for misunderstanding humanity to such an extent.

"I don't want your millions mister"

Fuck off and read the comment again.

Edit: also desire? Desire? You may as well have said motivation. It's a term which covers so much you might as well say nothing at all. Which would be good and you should try that next time before spouting your unexamined justifications for being a piece of shit who wipes his hands clean of a social system which destroys food while others starve.

Throwing away 200-300 dollars of inventory while my managers and some coworkers are giddy talking about the thief that got arrested by cops while stealing expensive food doomer

But you should lol

It's really deserved its accolades. Furthermore, there are some really interesting parts outside of this where Marxist concepts are explained in these (in my opinion) really engaging side chapters which offer greater insight into the surrounding world and situation of the time.

I'm greedy, everyone around me is greedy, all of society around me is greedy, all of history that I studied through this lens is greedy.

Clearly humans are inherently greedy soulless bastards and would put a bullet in your head before sharing their surplus of oranges.

You're a moron. You're a moron for thinking that all of humanity can be boiled down to a single emotional factor/desire and then projecting that onto all of history and all of the people around you.

Log off and go talk with actually good people and your myopic lens of self projection will crumble as learn that not everyone is as callous and rotten as you.

"Who built the cages?" "Who sent the bombs?"

Fuck them both. Fuck this guy for thinking he's any different.

 

Title mostly.

I'm doing fine right now, had an argument with my brother but overall I got my path forward ironed out, but I can't shake the feeling that all of what I do is just some pathological need to stumble forward into what I'm supposed to do but rather than actually being a meaningful calling or direction.

Maybe I'm just depressed.

 

I don't know anything about computers but it seems like he input that little victory slogan.

Gonna have to find another way to slack off at work. negative

 

Pretty much just the title. Every Sunday we get together and play for 4 hours and honestly there are like 100 things I'd rather do. I love DnD shows and content (which I acknowledge aren't actually existing DnD) so I keep getting suckered into giving it a try.

I just hate to quit mid session because thats rude and is a pain to everyone else but also I don't want to spend 4 hours every Sunday on my day off doing something I'm not enjoying.

How do I end this lightly? Can I?

 

Article

I'm doing a research project on evaluating Communist party support in the context of the application of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, relating widespread support for policies with the relevant socialist theory. Anyway, while doing research I stumbled across this usage of K-means clustering to analyze the data and with this application of a data analysis tool, the support for the party, while still high, varies greatly from what is initially suggested from the surveys.

Looking at it I find some of the justifications they use for describing typologies a little fishy. The questions asked are whether or not you trust the CPC on a four point scale with 1 being not at all and 4 being high amounts of trust, with the second question being about support for the one party system using the same scale. In any case they use K Clustering to break these groups into the four possible typologies and cluster the two of the middle groups together under the justification that people can be "ambivalent". However, this feels like unnecessary simplification of the clusters in order to present the "ambivalence" as being more varied than it is. Just because people might have incoherent views on the issue doesn't mean they do and presenting the issue as that feels like it could be "gerrymandering" data. I'm completely open to my speculations and reservations being completely off base, this is very estranged from my major, but I thought I would ask her for some help in understanding it.

You guys are pretty smart sometimes meow-tankie

The part I'm discussing occurs on page 56 where they begin to explain their statistics and methods.
