“deeply unserious” at this point might as well be the new “tankie”

So whatever you do you fam…

You don’t want a discussion, and you’re not answering sincerely. You saw an opportunity to virtue signal and rant about all sorts of things that have nothing to do with me or what I said.

Bet you that person couldn’t even organize the documents on their desk, let alone a global revolution. That person sounds like a future George Orwell to me not gonna lie… Or maybe they’re just some edgy 15 year old genzdong’er debatebro

Tell that to some of the commenters, one person in particular insists that snitching is ok. Also went all debate bro about it.

the fact you liken this to a fucking videogame betrays how deeply unserious you are.

touch grass please I am begging you. Just go outside, vitamin D is good for you.

And I don’t even necessarily disagree with you, just everyone involved in this whole thing are cringe as fuck

Did you even read my comment? What are you even talking about? I was talking about that other person, and the fact that they aren’t serious and need to touch grass. That’s why I likened it to a video game, to show how deeply unserious THEY are. Jesus fucking christ the lack of analysis from the western left. No wonder the fash is going to win. We got dumbasses whose first instinct is to snitch cuz they think they’re roleplaying as revolutionaries. And when someone (me) points out how idealitic and video game like that is, I get told I’m unserious? Seriously? Jesus fucking christ…

I doubt this person has actually interacted with people in the real world. To them snitching on this Chinese student/girl/whatever is just some sort of video game decision (like Skyrim or some shit). Completely idealistic and fucking stupid if you ask me.

You’re really a debate bro aren’t you? lolololol

Good luck with your revolution bro. gimme a shout out when it’s successful. hopefully nobody snitches on you LOLOLOLOILOL

(And possibly, if the story breaks in the liberal media, creating a martyr)

Tell that to the dumbass below (https://hexbear.net/comment/4684307) who wrote out an entire screed about why it’s good to snitch on this girl lololol

I’m gonna quote that user for posterity’s sake:

Why the fuck is this ignorance upvoted?

Shame on this liberalism. Shame on your cowardice, your weak will.

1 month old account and already spreading nonsense. Having a lemmygrad account is a privilege not a right.

Are we that full of anarcho-liberals who think good things and bad things are exactly the same, all cops are bastards and government and authority are bad that we just accept “snitching” is bad?

No. Reporting counter-revolutionaries and liberals is good when done to socialist authorities.

Do you think a revolution will succeed or endure in the face of external attempts at overthrow, pressure, etc without snitching? Without reporting liberalism? Counter-revolutionaries? Traitors? etc. Of course not.

Why then do you hate China? Why do you hate an in-power communist party? Why then do you take the position that there is harm to socialism, to communist parties, to the global proletariat from reporting backwards, anti-social, improper, and treasonous behaviors? Should people not be held to account?

Do you think counter-revolution springs out of thin air? How do you think the events of June 4th occurred? Did they materialize out of nowhere? Or was there a build-up of exactly this kind of person, this kind of thinking, forming networks, organizing, etc. How do you think terrorism and CIA spy rings operate but through people like this, their friends, their acquaintances, family they pressure or trick into revealing info. Every little piece of information is helpful for understanding the whole, the puzzle. For building leads, understanding relationships, uncovering persons of interests.

Do you seriously think that a western citizen who reports an overseas Chinese citizen to the PRC will help China? It will draw unnecessary attention because it will make it look like China is somehow “recruiting spies” in the US. This girl is probably just some rich kid who loves the west. Have you never seen them before? Have you even left your room and interacted with the outside world? There are plenty of people from China abroad that criticize the shit out of the government. The Chinese government doesn’t give a shit about small fries like them cuz they’re powerless to actually effect any change. Are you even thinking dialectically? Or do you think you’ll get some reward from the Chinese gov’t for doing such a thing? WTF are you on about??

Reporting a student will not bring about a global revolution, get a grip. I’m not even going to bother responding to your rage-filled post.

Yeah that user is… uh, I’m speechless.

Is this a joke post or are you seriously trying to snitch?

Japan has low cost of living

Only in the rural areas where people struggle to get jobs. Where the jobs are, in the cities, cost is extremely high. If you’re a digital nomad then you can use your money from other sources to live cheaply in the Japanese countryside.

Go on meetup.com, there should be local expat groups

I remember this when it happened. Sooo many people were saying “we tried this, it doesn’t fucking work” but the stupid ass doctors didn’t listen. No wonder people are losing faith in medicine, it’s cuz of shit like this.

Failing to diagnose properly, if at all

Acting like they are superior in every way

Getting upset if you research stuff yourself beforehand

Telling you that it’s either “stress-related” or “age-related”

Etc. Etc.

Don’t vote, and whoever tries to shame me can go climb a tree

He was the one who ushered in the age of neoliberalism and set the stage for Reagan.

I mean you do have to be tactical when talking to others. You need to gauge what level they are roughly at before you use certain “buzzwords.” For example, you might want to say an industry is “mostly dominated by guys” instead of using phrases like “white cis male patriarchy” with some people because it WILL trigger them. Same thing when talking about racism. We all know what “white supremacy” means but to your average normie they think only of the KKK and stuff like that. Same with terms like “systemic racism” or whatever. I hate to say it, but it’s kind of a game of cat and mouse. We always have to be ready to phrase things differently because once we settle on something, the right will figure it out and then run their media on overdrive to let their base know what buzzwords to watch out for.

I mean before I was where I am today just saying Stalin or Mao would have triggered me to think of the “millions that died” or whatever. At some point you do have to be open about your views but that doesn’t mean you need to bombard someone immediately with words like “bourgeoisie” or “dictatorship of the proletariat” or “means of production” right from the get go. Even something as banal as “material conditions” requires the other person to kind of already know what you’re talking about in the first place.

I mean I still consume Grayzone content when it comes to anti-imperialist stuff. Max and Aaron, and the new guys like Kit, etc. are all really good. Now that the whole vaccine thing is kind of “over” so to speak, Max isn’t really bringing it up that much and is sticking to anti-imperialist shit mostly. I also consume Norton’s stuff as well. It’s kind of sad that they broke up as they were a great team. Aaron still seems to get along just fine with Max and I’m pretty sure he was against Max when it came to the vaccine stuff as well. So I’m not sure exactly what happened behind the scenes with Max and Ben.

Also it seems like the situation has gotten somewhat spicer: https://nitter.net/MaxBlumenthal/status/1710429732221616552#m

Once you become confident enough in your own ideological convictions as a Marxist-Leninist there is no reason why you can’t draw on sources with all sorts of different ideological inclinations as long as the analysis they provide is solid and valuable.

This is literally what Marx and Engels did. They read Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, etc and it was all important in forming their thought. They even read scientific stuff like Darwin, etc.

I think leftists need to look outside their little bubble otherwise things are going to blindside them. One example I can think of is how most lefists were completely blindsided by Andrew Tate and didn’t even know about him until after he had already blew up and was on the verge of having all his social media purged. And the standard response is “hurr durr why do I need to know about him, hE’s A nObOdY!!” I mean yeah, to you he might be but he was super influential to millions of men and boys(and still is). And if you want to reach these guys you need to know what they are immersed in. Then you can apply a mass line tactic of sorting them into advanced, intermediate, backwards and do all that analysis. But you can’t analyze what you aren’t even aware of.
