Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

PSA: it's okay to feel overwhelmed. You are fighting a multi billion dollar propaganda machine. (lemmygrad.ml)

Social media is flooded with people celebrating the events in Venezuela and it is not abnormal to feel frustrated or even confused by this. This is part of the plan to legitimize these events. This is how consent is manufactured.

You are fighting the CIA and multibillion dollar tech companies shaping these narratives. We as communists are simply outnumbered in this, so it is normal to not reach the crowds they do.

Practice marxist discipline, read theory regarding these subjects. Books like the Jakarta Method or Manufacturing Consent are good starts. Read in on Venezuela. Head over to prolewiki to see what's available, and don't lose hope.

Edit: or, as comrades here said, read Inventing Reality instead of MC

In this case, replace the 2 & 4 with TikTok and instagram. At some point 3 transitions into selling your labour to someone who constantly threatens you with unemployment and homelessness. I get it.

They're definitely not happy or functional people in my experience. The impression (maybe even analysis) I keep returning to is the Infinite Slop Machine they're chained to has left them so intellectually and socially underdeveloped -- coupled with no desire to address those deficiencies, gives me no hope at all. If anything, they're closer to become better slaves than revolutionaries. Not even a western thing, It's becoming like that here too.
