Is it weird that I mostly call refer to trump as Donald or Donny instead of president trump?
No that's pretty normal. I like to call the king of britain King Chuckles or if he is the topic of the conversation I like to call him Chuckles the Clown.
Things are not looking good in Bolivia, folks. The US is planning to destroy the resistance there while US puppets are rushing to the aid of the neoliberal puppet Rodrigo Paz.
Striking workers have erected barricades blocking highways in every region of the country.
i pray and pray all of these simultaneous interventions can in some way overextend them and worsen things but none of that would be happy so much as it is only a minimal reassurance. the death throes include trying to take everyone down with them, but it's just such unfair suffering
A lot of people don't trust certain parts of society such as the homeless and I understand why. I wouldn't trust a mafia boss or a mobster, someone with a record for willingness to do crime against the defenseless. It's a fascist mentality.
However I would like to add my two cents with brief experience of homelessness and just general interactions with a broad section of lumpen. Be it street musicians or prostitutes. Sadly I only have anecdotes on my side which is part of the issue, it's very difficult to do empirical research on this subject and avoid biases.
In my brief experience of homelessness the only person who immediately approached me was another homeless person. He immediately noticed that something wasn't right with me and came with advice, in the meanwhile I've likely had more than a 1000 people walk past me without a care and you might wonder why didn't I go to an institution? Well because they dismantled them.
Marxism is based on Dialectical-Materialism, it means the body is the mind is the body and practical experience is necessary for change to happen. You cannot simply "fix" someone with a mental exercise. I think many Chauvinists dismiss the lumpen because they toss them a book and expect class consciousness to sort it out. It's not that simple, change needs structure that supports it.
I have found this one of the major weakness of the modern day left movement. There is a lot of effort trying to pull down the petite bourgeoise, not a lot of efforts pulling up the disenfranchised. It ends up being left upon a religious institution, the Heartfelt liberal or the extraordinarily rare mutual-aid group. All of which get infiltrated by the right.
I have never encountered a communist in the presence of the "lower classes" but I have had reactionaries try to befriend me and idk if people realize how far the influences of 1 neo-fash can spread. So this guy I will call him Measurehead, because that's what his personality was like, yeah a competitive racist. But the guy literally inserted himself anywhere and he's been all the way to China and around. Which has really bothered me because this is the kind of people who go around to the lumpen everywhere and spread their ideology. This one guy has probably ended up influencing hundreds by now if not more. And he was so good at gathering a crowd around him it's like scary to see. The way how he immediately could spot who to turn to in order to gather a crowd around him.
It scares me because the sort of people who get co-opted by the likes of him include people who would be willing to work tripple shifts for half of the pay. Regardless how one feels about the downtrodden, you're going to have to deal with them. That is a fact. This is the reason why I have been trying to shine a little bit of a light on the issue. It's not just because I've read Mao or Malcom or Che, although I believe their personal life experiences had influenced them to arrive to similar conclusions.
It's a good reminder, thanks for bringing it up. It's a strategic thing and, more importantly, a humane thing. We should be doing what we can to uplift the most downtrodden, which means empowering, educating, building ties, etc. As opposed to looking at it in a distanced charity sort of way, the way that the capitalist class does.
I think many Chauvinists dismiss the lumpen because they toss them a book and expect class consciousness to sort it out. It’s not that simple, change needs structure that supports it.
I think this is in some ways a symptom of individualism, the tendency to approach it in this way. You could have 50 people read the same book independently and draw wildly different interpretations. Education is an organized process, not a matter of pointing in a vague direction and hoping.
Hello peeps! I know that SlayGuevara said that I could link the mutual aid post in the mutual aid community, but I asked Moderator GrainEater and they said that it is ok (content warning for abuse towards children): https://lemmygrad.ml/post/11615234?scrollToComments=true
I was recommended Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) recently.
Could be better than just more CBT.
What do you think?
Do you have any resources? Never heard the term. Would be interested to see how it stacks up. Read: I can ask a Vietnamese therapist about it :P (I have no psychology knowledge myself lol)
i tried DBT after CBT and found it much much better. depends on the specialist of course
Disclaimer: I am not a mental health professional.
You should definitely try DBT because its a new tool that might help you.
first thoughts that were really pessimistic
Did the person recommending DBT address capitalism as a major root of your suffering or are they just trying to sell you another cure without naming the problem? Therapists and social workers are basically cops. Their job is to keep people in line and not asking the real questions. Mental health professional education is permeated with individualism and white supremacy. Even the ones who think they are doing good are often just keeping their patients trying new things that wont work so they stay busy and keep coming to the next session. If they aren't addressing capitalism, exploitation, and atomization then I doubt the efficacy of any treatment they suggest.
"Just one more pill bro, this one might work, Just try out this new mental exercise, I swear bro one of these will work, This one has a word you like."
Don't get me wrong, I definitely get what you are saying about addressing the root causes.
I just need something right now to help me get through things.
I get that completely.
But these were from other COMRADES, other Marxist-Leninists, not just anyone.
Also, the medication I have (Vyvanse especially) does help me function.
Hey peeps, I want to help out a comrade here with their child legal case but I am unsure if I can link the original post here because it has to do with mutual aid. Do you peeps know if I can link it here (or any other way to help)?
There's a mutual aid community
I was able to set up an appointment with that new place I was trying to go to! and got in rather quick to which is kind of surprising since my previous doctor, I had to like schedule four months ahead of time. But instead of dealing with that one place that refused to give a referral, I called the other place and talked to them about it and they were able to get my medical records and one of the medical staff reviewed and accepted it.
It is still really ridiculous that one place refused to write a referral, like again. It all just to set up an appointment to see someone. It's not as if I was asking for something big.
Hey maybe Xi will decide to enforce international law by arresting trump and trying him for genocide. Wouldn't that just be hilarious?
He would have to take his big tech accomplices, just to make it fair for Donny boy
My job has been hard on my body lately and I'm so tired from the long commute. But I use the time to read and scroll Lemmy. It's very encouraging. makes me want to keep reading even when I'm getting confused and have to go back several times.
Honestly have a newfound appreciation for just how offensive Tom Cotton's "are you a member of the CCP" questions were to the Singaporean CEO of TikTok, considering that Singaporeans infamously dont like being called Chinese and the founding father of Singapore being very clear that Singaporeans are not Chinese
I mean they're mostly chinese exiles afaik.
Not really? Depends on the type of Chinese Singaporean, most of the ancestors of the Nyonyas left during the Qing dynasty, and integrated into to the local cultures of Malaya. Those whose ancestors came and settled down in Singapore during 1819-1937 were mostly fleeing the decline of the Qing dynasty and the Warlord Era, and their descendants mostly identify as Singaporean first. The New Immigrants that came into Singapore post WW2 and after independence would identify more as Chinese first, mostly due to the more nationalistic education they received from the mainland.
Though I would like make a side point that being Singaporean isn't tied to race, there are also large minorities of Indian and Malay Singaporeans that have also influenced each others' culture.
Right, but it'd be like saying an Australian person is British or a Cuban person is Spanish
Its an interesting dialectic, the cuban exiles in the US think of themselves as spanish, e.g. Narco Rubio so i bet the diasporoids in america would prefer to be called spanish, idk about the other ones tho.
Major disrespect towards the working class. Any company which makes the applicant worker do these fucking obnoxious mini games is a no go for me. As if i need to demonstrate superhuman skills to flip burgers!
