It's been awhile since I've read Combat Liberalism, but I thought the context of that was for disputes between people in the same party or organization. If it's someone who's a friend but otherwise isn't struggling alongside you to build communism, I'm not sure what the point of being super insistent on ideological correctness would be.

Wanting the lesser of two evils on one issue to win is not the same as co-signing an entire party’s agenda.
Meanwhile, in the screenshot: "Yes my life is more important than Palestinians... FUCK THEM!!!" Truly the words of someone who doesn't support their party's genocidal agenda.
I genuinely don’t understand how participation in democracy became conditional on 100% agreement on every issue. If you want a party to agree with you 100%, start a local party and run for local office in a non-presidential election.
Motherfucker: the dems are in 0% alignment with my stances on any issue. Whatever think tank lanyard wearer cooked up this weaksauce talking point needs to be fired.
Voting is supposed to be a civic duty, not a popularity vote and certainly not a purity test. Pull the lever and let the train hit one person instead of fucking everyone and everything. It’s not an intellectual exercise right now.
You're pulling out all the lib cliches today, aren't you? "Fucking everyone and everything" is going to be hit by that train just as surely if you pull the lever for the demonrats. Everyone who isn't a demonrat shill knows this.
What is President Trump II / President Vance going to do about climate change? Women’s health? Concentration camps for immigrants? Future elections? Just please be reasonable and realistic.
The adults in the room know that K-dolf Hitler won't be any better on any of those issues than Drumpf the felon.

Wait, is recovery not supposed to be a life long journey?

There was a dude at the rehab I went to who claimed to be working on, among other things, porn addiction. The first time I saw him he was wearing a shirt that said "GOONER" in big letters.

I like how he passingly mentions the train going through the building as if it's something not at all remarkable.

Does that building normally look like that, or is it another case of the BBC dystopia camera filter?

The main thing I can think of to get me down that road is to publicly call for the destruction of the United States and Israel so loudly and constantly that none of my friends or family want to associate with me, no employer wants to hire me, no landlord wants to rent to me, etc. Basically showing my power level in a way that causes me to become unpersoned to everyone except radicals.
I'd also have to somehow be able to cope with this psychologically, something difficult for me because I'm already having trouble simply coping in my current hyper privileged life where I'm only ever handled with kids' gloves.

even if you can conceive of ideas and views outside of the approved norm, you lack the initiative to act upon them, be it through coercion, intimidation, mockery, misrepresentation

I was listening to an old Citations Needed episode about thought terminating enemy epithets and heard that the term "hand-picked successor" started being used to refer to Maduro since he was Chavez's vice president. Now I'm going to start referring to K-dolf Hitler as Genocide Joe's handpicked successor.

I remember when the Charlottesville pigs stood by and did nothing while being alerted of a 6-man crew of open neo-nazis were at that exact moment beating DeAndre Harris to a pulp in the parking garage right next to their headquarters. They didn't even get him medical attention until 30 minutes after, and then charged him with assault.
It's interesting to see Vice, the media outlet that was founded by the same guy who started the Proud Boys, pointing out that the Alt-Right is full of shit.

I've basically lost all desire to socialize with people and improve myself. I've been seeing a therapist and taking various different psych meds for years and have basically made no improvement. All I want to do anymore is eat way too much junk food (I feel like my friends and family would judge me very hard if I went back to toking and drinking like I did before rehab), play video games, and lie down doomscrolling chapo.chat. The worst part is I know I have a lot going for me in life and I have a negative number of excuses to be this way: I'm in a cushy overpaid computer toucher job with a promotion on the near horizon, I'm doing well in my education, I haven't had anything really bad happen to me in years, and even the things that have gone bad for me are incredibly mild at most - first world problems. Even when I do the occasional good thing like walking or not eating like complete garbage for a day, I'm incapable of actually feeling any sense of accomplishment. Whenever I talk to any of my mental healthcare providers about it, their advice basically boils down to "let yourself feel good about good things". There's also the more actionable advice, like use a sun lamp to make up for lack of sunlight and make some time to write my thoughts down every day, but I suck about following through on them. Trying to make myself feel good beyond split-second dopamine hits from base activities like stuffing my hamplanet pie hole with empty calorie laden garbage feels like trying to draw blood from a stone. Often times I find myself thinking that maybe people like OrganizeOrDie are right. Depression is no excuse to stay out of organizing (something I'm also shirking my responsibility to do, largely because I'm at an intersection of privilege where I benefit from capitalism and imperialism far more than I am harmed by it), let alone doing the barest minimum to keep myself healthy, all of which will at least increase my chances of not feeling like an soulless automoton all the time. I know that humans are social beings and that community is essential to being human, but my temperment makes it so I don't actually feel good from socializing - not even in a social anxiety or lack of social skills kind of way - so I stay in my room and continue to rot. I feel like I'm part of the problem and not part of the solution and that if I'm incapable of actually becoming better then I may as well just self-destruct in silence. I've been depressed basically since I was a child - over 20 years at this point - and it's so ingrained in who I am that I don't know how to get rid of it, or if I even want to. People who want things work to make them a reality after all. I'm not sure what I want or expect from this vent-post. I just hate that I am the way I am and have no will to change.
The recent Spain hate post reminded me of how Columbus Day is touted as super important to Italian Americans. I did a search and this garbage was one of the top results. Some highlights: > The people who claim they are indigenous are the descendants of earlier migrants from Asia and are included in Columbus Day celebrations. Well yuo seee, technically the indigenous groups are also immigrants because they migrated here 10s of thousands of years ago.  > Indigenous Peoples Day is viewed by Italian Americans and other Americans as anti-Columbus Day. It is a day of race based political and social protest against the European and immigrant roots of America. It is not a Day of celebration of Native American culture but rather a day aimed against the European immigrant roots of the nation. Gee, I wonder what issue indigenous groups could possibly have against the settler colonial - \*cough\* excuse me, immigrant - roots of the nation?  > Columbus is an important historical figure. His voyage of discovery in 1492 is one of the greatest events in world history and changed the course of history. He sailed across an uncharted Atlantic with three trading ships as a navigator and explorer to set up new trade routes not as a conqueror. Tell that to the Taino. > When Columbus Landed the native tribes were in a constant state of warfare and practiced widespread slavery and subjugation of other tribes and human sacrifice, cannibalism and torture. Those injuns were no angels. > Italian-Americans have faced bigotry in many forms and the attack on Columbus Day is another face of that bigotry, Just another form of discrimination. It's anti-Italian discrimination.  --- People become pretty shitty once they're allowed in the cracker club.

Had to share the .ml link because all of the dunk-worthy comments are from instances that block Hexbear.
Barely over 1,000 views, so definitely too small for the dunk tank. But what he lacks in reach, he makes up for in cringe. Dude's whole account since the invasion is anti-"vatnik" information war larp.
Mine is when a lib says that a socialist leader is filthy rich because le ebil dictator owns literally everything in the country.

A cracker I know shared this, and a bunch of other crackers I know were all  I'm going to have a conniption if I keep seeing people who were childhood friends of mine soy hitler facing over how "based" this piece of shit is.  Practically everyone I know is , and it's driving me insane! 
He's calling it the Hugh SSR.
In 8^th^ grade my social studies teacher showed *The Notebook* to the class to help teach us about WWII. The movie had less than 5 minutes of content about the war; the rest was only tangentially related at best because it was set in that time period.
Granted, its to prevent overcentralization of Lemmy and not related to their shit takes, but still

 We need to stop Trump from being elected or he will destroy democracy. We need to shoot all the Trump supporters.  Nooooooooo, not like that! --- > You can, if you stop abstaining or voting third party out of protest. You can’t blame the electoral system for being ineffective if you don’t use it right. > Y’know the old saying about the best and second best times to plant a tree? Sweeping political change takes time. You need progressive candidates to prove themselves on local and state levels. > It’ll take 6 years to replace every governor and congressperson, and based on the landscape I see, at least 5-10 years to promote enough progressives to a position suitable to candidacy. 15-20 years of voting for capable progressives in every race from school board to governor will provide us with a rich crop of experienced candidates. > That does mean voting lesser evil until you can get proven progressives on the ticket. That’s just reality. If you don’t vote for a candidate that wins, you didn’t get even the most meager semblance of representation. Not getting what you want because the voters that disagree with you outnumber the ones that agree is the fundamental principle of democracy. Show up. Vote, for someone who might win. > Republicans planted their tree 50 years ago. Progressives’ best move in the next few elections is show up in droves to big tent blue wave, and then splinter when the Republican party is defunct. 
Dirt_Owl is in danger and they need your help to dunk on the libs in a federated thread, but to do this they need a beanis, some pig poop balls, and some piss. To help them, all they need is your credit card number, the 3 digits on the back, and the expiration month and year. But you've got to be quick so they can own the libs and create good material for the dunk tank!
