Redditors have no concept of what the democrats are: a controlled opposition party in a one-party capitalist empire.

Both pro-war candidates. Sanders voted to bomb like 8 countries, and AOC has supported israel many times with her votes also, like the iron dome.

Go for a walk (outside) every day. I used to try different posture exercises, running, sprinting interval training, but as you get older, nothing is healthier and easier on your body than just daily walks.

We kinda are walking machines anyway:

Bonus points for mental health if you walk in nature, without any headphones or entertainments.

Also do strength training (you can get hand barbells very cheap if you don’t have a gym close by), starting very light at first, and working up to whatever feels comfortable.

Agree, siwe is probably closer.

mi sona e toki pona, taso tenpo mute la mi toki ala e ni.

i know it, but haven’t spoken it for a long time.

Sewe, lawi

Are the russian bots in the room with you right now, contaminating your precious bodily fluids?

The long term is typically what happens to empires like Rome or Britain: a slow, whiny, unstable decline into obscurity until everyone eventually leaves.

Rome had so many civil wars, imperial overextension, political instability, famines, and an inability to cope with disasters, that by the time it fell, it hollowed out to like < 1% of its peak population.

Highly recommend everyone read yasha levine’s surveillance valley for a lot of the specifics on this, looking at the internet in particular.

True. I have a decent hand-one for $50, but they can get pretty expensive.

You must buy $1600 iphone to support failing US economy.

Please don’t look at all the alternatives that are 3 years ahead in tech and 1/3rd of the cost.

The smart ones know how to avoid the shit now. I’m not testing that out tho lol.

You can find these old / used / open box pretty cheap now.

I got a 2+ year old model that originally sold for like $1500 USD, for ~200.

The best pourover kits in existence cost like $25 USD max too. There’s no reason to not learn how to do it right.

Streaming subscriptions. I swear the average nowadays seems to be like 4 per person because ppl don’t know how to torrent anymore

Got memory-holed by google, not much we can do about that (apologies for the orwellism)

@Cowbee has a great reading list here that goes over many of these. Any anti-imperialist historical account is going to give you a better view

Here’s a few documentaries about different leaders:

• Fidel - The untold story (Cuban Revolution)
• Malcolm X - Make it Plain
• The Upright Man (Thomas Sankara)
• Grenada - Future coming Towards Us
• Paul Robeson - Here I Stand
• Lenin - old British Documentary
• The Murder of Fred Hampton
• The Revolution will not be televised (Chavez and Venezuela)
• A place called Chiapas (EZLN)
• Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul (서울의 평양 시민들)
• The Haircut - A North Korean Adventure

And I keep a study guide here.

At least in western cinema, only sci-fi can get away with anti-imperialism. Star wars (the rebellion = vietnamese communists), lots of Star trek episodes especially in DS9, Dune (the book first, then the film), and pry a lot more I can’t think of right now.

The KHIVE is here to correct the record on her prison slave labor scandals, defense of white supremacist cops, disproportionate jailing of black people, and staunch support for Israel.

Kinda crazy how democrats now are just like: “Yeah, I eat a plate of shit. I don’t like it, but they told me that was the only option. So I did it, I’m proud of it, and anyone else should be ashamed to not be eating shit like me.”
