Today I learned liberals don't care about others. They don't care about their suffering, and they'll fight to keep the oppressive system running because they want to stay in their comfort. I asked my cousin, "if you can have anything you want with the snap of your fingers, what would you have?" She replied, money, tons of money. Total comfort, and no worries. I replied, super human abilities and an adventurous life. I explained to her that having tons of money and total comfort eventually gets boring because when you finish accomplishing all the things you can accomplish with money, it's gonna get boring. Then she starts to go on her anti-revolution rant and how she doesn't know what to do for change and can't find herself doing anything to support any revolution. She talks about how there's no point in doing a revolution cause even if it succeeds, you're gonna die anyways. She proceeded to explain that she wants tons of money because it fixes all problems in her life. I told her, "It fixes all of the problems in the capitalist system, not all of your problems revolve around the capitalist system." I told her, "what if the problems you have isn't fixable by money because of the system you live under? Reform isn't gonna help your motivation for black and LGBTQ rights." She says, "move to another country." Then I asked her, "what if those problems persist in other capitalist countries?" she replied with the same answer. I asked her, "what if your personality changes and your interests change, and all of a sudden you don't fit the status quo?" She says "I'm already not fit to the status quo, I'm black, I'm LGBTQ, and I'm super liberal!" Then I had to explain to her what liberalism is, and that progressive liberalism is time wasting. It's just reform reform reform until all of it gets reversed by your enemy some day. I also ask her, "why not try to change the system so you're apart of this 'status quo?" Then she replies "there's nothing I can do about it." She then does the "How do you not like capitalism if you live in it?" argument. In the conversation, I also ask her, "what about the third world countries that are taken over by capitalism?" She's like "What that got to do with me? I'm not gonna care about a country that does stupid stuff with the money given to them!" She even had the audacity to say "I'll have to kill you if you throw a revolution. I'll be sending a hitman for you. Because I don't want someone to ruin the world I'm in." People like this, there's no coming back for them. Comrades, what would you do with someone like this? Do we shape a new system that keeps them from complaining and continue living their 'comfortable' lives? I always wonder about people like this.

On that very same day, there was a train that carried tons of chemicals (mostly PVC) riding through Ohio. It exploded in East Palestine, unleashing the dangerous chemicals in the atmosphere. While The US was overreacting over the balloon, the chemicals were contaminating the air and waters. The chemicals were killing people's chickens, dogs, cats, and other animals. The crows were circling and flying about in a strange motion as if they were drugged. The fish that flourished now lifelessly float along the river. If the chemicals are getting to the animals, it's getting to the people too. People who lived there experienced lung issues, breathing difficulties, and more. The PVC chemicals are causing higher risks of cancer. People are still not able to live in their homes due to the nauseating air. Those who come back are faced with dangerous conditions. Officials however, (including the FDA) have told everyone that the air is **completely safe** and the water is **drinkable.** People who drank the water described it as "smelling and tasting like chlorine." So basically the officials were lying and trying to sweep it under the rug. All while this was happening, you see the media overreacting over the balloon. And they pulled another stunt with Canada again this week. Meanwhile, Norfolk Southern lobbied to ease federal regulations and cut costs on the train. Which makes me question... What are we living for? With the capitalist powers having it's grip on the world, we are living to be slaves and to fill the wealthy man's pockets while our lives are constantly in danger. We are just pawns in their game of wealth, power and fame. Tragedies are swept under the rug until one day there's a large tragedy, and then there's a compromise from those wealthy pigs that just isn't enough. Then the cycle starts all over again. In America, we are going backwards. At this point, we are entering back to the Gilded Age. Or maybe we're already in it? Or never got out of it?

I'm so tired of my US History class. We're approaching WW1, and my teacher is talking about communism. Firstly, he's a hardcore liberal, but oh my goodness for him to teach AP, he doesn't even SOUND like he knows what he's talking about. His articulation and the way he talks, along with his word choice just shows he doesn't know shit about communism. Today he was talking about communism and I told him "communism is a moneyless, stateless, classless society." Then he said "no, communism is where EVERYTHING is equal." Then I proceeded to tell him that there's different types of communist ideologies apart from the one he's talking about, such as Anarcho-communism who believe that "true" communism is accomplished by dictatorship of the proletariat, however without a class and state. He ignored that then went back to his flawed point where communism is where "everything is equal" and that the "government controls everything, not a market." Then he proceeded to ask the class "What if I graded you all like a communist? Everyone in here would have a B." And everyone was like "OH NO NO NO!!" It's just so ugh... He sounds so dumb it pisses me off, and the students just gobble that bullshit up, which pisses me off even more.

I'm 17F, one year away from being kicked out of my parent's house. As soon as I'm 18 they're forcing me to go to a 4 year college. As of now I'm regretting my life decisions. My backup plan is to purse electrical engineering, but I don't have any experience behind me. All the classes I've taken in high school don't even count towards it. Also, there is no engineering STEM programs at my school either. My parents ridicule me on how I'm not doing anything in life. I don't participate in academic stuff. I have no extra curriculars, no sports, no nothing. Yeah, I guess there's something wrong with that. I mean all I do is go home, school work, watch anime, or practice making music. From 3 to 9 P.M is all the free time I have. And at this point, I don't really focus on school anyone. I'm running behind on assignments and haven't done much of them since second semester started. Firstly, I don't really wanna go to college. It's a big scam in the US, and I don't have any money to move to another country and try to get an education there. It's like hell in the US. If you're poor, you're most likely stuck there for a very long time. I don't wanna pursue a skill or a trade, I don't want a white collar job nor desire to be wealthy. I actually plan on becoming a digital nomad that travels to many places. I don't want to settle in one place. The thought of being in an office sitting on my ass all day is dreadful, and the thought of working in the same building until retirement is dreadful. I don't wanna work the usual 9 to 5 in the same boring office building, and I don't wanna wait until I get those two weeks off a year or less. I *also* don't want to make traveling a career, because I hate making a "job" out of something fun. All I wanna do is have fun. I hate the word "work." I like to focus on something worthwhile, not help produce something I don't even have control over so my boss can fill their pockets. Yeah I'll be doing that with remote work, but the only reason I want to do remote work is to have more free time. Oh well! Why don't I suck it up? Why don't I accept this life? Well I don't want to. I don't want to be someone I'm not. I don't want to live a lie. I don't ask for much, I just want to be free, that's all. This world is so fucking large, why not explore it? It's an open world!

I'm 17 years old and a junior in an American high school. I'm planning on pursuing electrical engineering. Would this class be good? If I switch to this class, I would be replacing AP computer science principles. Which would be more suitable?

Mental Health Sunshiner • 2 years ago • 96%

Ever since I've became a Marxist, I've been seeing the dark sides of liberalism, capitalism, etc. Now, all my passions and the capitalist/liberal desires that fueled them have died. I wanted to be a musician and become rich and famous, now that's an unrealistic kid story. I wanted to become a writer and spread my works to millions, not anymore. I wanted to do game development, but that's gone now. I wanted to become a legislator as a kid and spread good for society, proposing laws that would help the younger generation, but the US government is so fucking corrupt. I wanted to become an MMA fighter, but the industry in that is rigged. I wanted to become a business owner, and even learned the dark things needed to do to become "successful." But the thought of fucking over vulnerable people for personal gain makes me sick to my stomach. I've recently found a major I could study in college for - Electrical engineering. But really I don't feel the slightest interested in that either. I had a quick blip of interest and then it died. Every industry is so rigged, and people like me won't survive in it. I'm not a fake it till you make it type person. I'm never favored by anyone, not popular in any type of circle. I'm cold and concrete, I can't put on masks. And even the thought of manipulating people is tiring as hell. I'd rather be real and truthful, least bit of effort. I have no money to travel to other countries where music might make me successful, and my passions for everything have died. I hate the word "hard work." I like work that's worthwhile and enjoyable, something I would spend hours on. But that doesn't exist in the US. I seriously feel like a wandering soul. The only thing that's keeping me alive is the desire to travel the world. If I didn't have that motive, I probably would have offed myself a long time ago. I feel like my life is nothing, and I am nothing. I honestly don't know anymore. I might become a thief, stalking rich people's social medias then stealing from them. Or becoming a mercenary. Kid's fantasy, I know. I might have to face the disgusting truth and join the military to get the rest of my basic fucking human rights. Housing, money, college, I don't know. I feel like I'm going no where.

I've been taking APUSH, and got through the Prep, however I'm not sure if I should go into the actual APUSH. I feel like I'm wasting my time and it won't matter since I'm going into electrical engineering. What should I do? I'm thinking of staying if APUSH Prep doesn't count as US history credit...

I'm looking for philosophy and sources about the ego and how to tame it, or at least turn it into something good. Something in that intention. I've been looking to the Tao Te Ching, and am looking for more philosophies that besides mindfulness, also promote taming the ego. Also what is your opinion on the ego?

I noticed that in western culture most people are into instant gratification. In capitalist cultures entertainment takes up most of an average person's day. Social media, extensive amounts on the internet, prolonged hours of videogames, etc. I've learned about a few things that would cut down on this, such as mostly listening to nature sounds and ambience rather than stimulating music, going outside and connecting to nature, and deleting social media. What other tips and advice would help reduce instant gratification? Also, what cultures aren't dominated by instant gratification? How is there way of life, and what sources could bring more information about them?

Those who are in high school, what careers are you planning to pursue? I'm interested in hearing your choices :))

I 16F am a junior looking into electrical engineering. What should I be prepared for and look forward to? My recent post was on college in general, but now I want to be a bit specific on the degree part. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you! :'))

I (16F) am looking into going to a 4 year college, but have no idea where to start. I'm currently looking on how to choose a college, but what else should I prepared for? Scholarships, tours, etc. BTW I'm in the USA

Recently I've been looking into this subject and found a few answers on the subject of romance, love, and sex in western cultures. It seems that these subjects are problematic when paired with Western cultures, especially with the fact that the elite exploit these and shape it into a way to benefit themselves. Over-sexualization, brainwashing children, sexism, banning abortion, homophobia and sexualization of the LGBTQ+, and other things. It has caused many problems that have spread to countries that aren't in the west, and goes against a human's nature and rights. In order to be cleansed from the poisonous western culture, from a communist perspective, what would be a more suitable way to look at these three topics?

I noticed that living in American culture is quite strange. Almost everything is about sex and "love." Everything is sexualized including the LGBTQ+. Thoughts on this? Also as someone who was raised in America, I'm still trying to shake off the rest of the side effects from this culture, such as porn addiction and feeling lost for not having a partner. I learned to listen to music that doesn't include sexual stuff (my favorite is jazz lol.) However everywhere else no matter where I go there is sexual stuff, even included in ads lol.

Left Piracy Sunshiner • 2 years ago • 93%

What is your routine when it comes to surfing on the internet? Do you remain anonymous at all times? Is there only one browser you use or a few? I'm quite new to this stuff and wonder what a pirate's usual routine is. I wonder if I should get the onion browser and use that only, or alternate between opera and the tor browser. Also, what efficient and smart methods do you guys use? (no i'm not fbi lol, im a 16 year old loser)

EDIT: I made this post shorter because the questions made it quite confusing and didn't made any sense when re-reading them. One question that was on my mind is that what would happen to U.S History if the US collapsed? If the new country USSA was established, would the history of the U.S not matter anymore? Such as the start of the country, glorified figures like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Would they be forgotten eventually? What would happen to their trillions of debt? What ties would you cut, and who would you ally the USSA with next? China? What countries would you have relations with? Who would you do trade with? What are your efforts to make the USSA a strong country and incapable of being attacked by capitalist imperialists? Say if the USSA was right on their feet and able to keep themselves stable, would you wanna spread this "stableness" to other countries? Personally my answer to this question is to not spread socialist ideals into other countries without wanted permission. There have been many countries that tried socialist ideals but were stopped by imperialists. I'm sure they will continue their efforts once the imperialist U.S is gone. What are your suggestions? I would love to hear your thoughts! Please try to answer every question :)) It's okay if you don't

Every other person who speaks on philosophy always recommends stoicism, Buddhism, and reference Greek or Roman philosophers. Any ML philosophy or philosophy from social countries? I would love to look into it.

All Cops Are Bastards Sunshiner • 2 years ago • 100%

After watching it I realized how useless and harmful cops are, especially when it comes to minorities.

Firstly, I would put extreme harsh rules and regulations on the police system, heck, there might be something else that will ACTUALLY protect the people. When I watched the Dahmer series, I realized how useless the US police is. A 14 year old boy escaped Dahmer begging for help and the police literally RETURNED the boy back to Dahmer. Fucking sickening and really angered me. Also here's a list of things I would imply as soon as revolution happens. ::: spoiler list 1. Minority rights, reparations, and destroying US disgusting army bases in other people's countries. 2. LGBTQ+ and trans rights. (Basically human rights lol) 3. 100% abortion rights, and free healthcare for all 4. Abolishing of the police system. 5. Removal of liberal media sources. 6. Elimination of the 1%, and the establishment of dictatorship of the proletariat. 7. Intense funding on education, infrastructure, green energy, and more. Also making sure that the country doesn't fully rely on electricity and technology just in case we get our grid destroyed and can't run efficiently. 8. lol fuck that US debt, never heard of it, in fact, name and flag will be changed. 9. Farms are gonna stop being on a big business leash. Chickens will no longer be doped up with probiotics and antibiotics and all that horseshit. (Yes US farm some animals are forced to eat shit as a food source.) 10. Halal meat, and will make big changes to the food industry. No more useless chemicals no one can pronounce in fucking potato chips. 11. And more! ::: Please give your opinions on this list, and share your thoughts on what you would change after a successful revolution.

Guns for Leftists Sunshiner • 2 years ago • 100%

Thinking of living in my car for a few months when I graduate, and probably will need a gun for safety. What would be a great gun to start with? Preferably affordable please


Ex-Liberal Sunshiner • 2 years ago • 100%

Hello, baby Marxist here! Personally mine was reading. When I was a liberal I loathed reading and found it hard to even read a short article. I rarely researched everything I heard, and as a teenager, I was like every other liberal, getting my news off social media. Now I make sure to research everything, however, getting into theory is a bit hard. Most of the information I learned about communism was through fellow comrades, because like before, I got my information from other people's comments. Currently I'm restoring my motivation for reading by starting small. Reading long comments from comrades helped a lot. I've now moved on to reading information from leftist sources without effort, and I'm starting on reading the communist manifesto. Enough about me, what were your side effects?

What information you have that debunks material taught in AP US History? I've noticed that there's a lot of misinformation in those books, such as blaming Native Americans for damaging of bison population, when really it was the colonizers and climate change that affected their populations. What do ya have to offer?

I'm curious to know. For me I'm currently not in any, was thinking of joining tennis but my knees are ass. Currently into MMA though

Correct me if I'm wrong but Electronic Engineering is part of STEM. I keep hearing that STEM is one of the best fields to be in if you're looking for a comfortable life. I'm gonna be forced into college soon, and I'm wondering of a good degree to get while I'm there, and what scholarships to be searching for. Originally I want to do audio engineering, but I heard that electronic engineering would be suitable since it's in demand. What are your thoughts on this? What things to look out on for STEM and what truths do you have about STEM? Is all of this even worth it?

I've recently downloaded mullvad. I heard it's popular in the piracy community. 5 dollars a month is not bad. Currently saving for a good antivirus. What are your favorites?

What are your plans for the future? I'm curious to know :'))

A lot of self help books always give methods that are basically in favor of capitalism. They always use big businesses as examples, or capitalist figures that did "hard work." Any books that aren't full of stuff like this? Currently looking for books about the Ego Death. I would appreciate recommendations! :D

What country are you from? And what occupation are you in? I'm currently a student in the US

In today's world, especially in the US, we're told that we need to go to college and get an education in order to have a decent living. But nowadays it's not so easy, and it's only boomers telling us how easy it was. College is causing many students to get in debt so early in their life. There are scholarships, however for some that'll be a hassle to obtain considering other factors in life. What would you suggest?

Example: Brushing twice a day or picking up a book and reading for five minutes then progressing each day.

Never had a job before in my life, what is to be expected, and what advice do you have? Especially as a Marxist in a capitalist environment. How can I survive?

Don't be shy, tell us about yourself! :D I remember my days of middle school. It was really quick, especially because of COVID. 8th grade ended early. First two years did feel a bit slow though. What were your experiences in Middle school?

Anyone else feel the same? What can be done about it? What good alternatives? The internet suggests trade jobs, but how can there be time for other things?

It's a teenage communists worst nightmare. Here are my classes AP US History Prep Journaling 201-202 Accounting I Chemistry I (want to change to biology 2) AP US History Algebra 2 Journaling (Idk what's to be filled in here, hopefully different) Honors English 3 (Very liberal "independent/moderate" teacher.) My classes are full of liberals. I cannot stand it, literally. They're deep in capitalism too. One of the assistant principals came in to talk to us about stocks... I mean, he just randomly bust in there. My journaling teacher thinks the political spectrum is only "conservative and liberal." He's on the right side of conservative. And you know US History has bullshit. The English 3 teacher is mostly red but he claims to be independent. He loves to talk about his liberal beliefs. He's like "Why can't they elect a good president for once!!! The only one I thought was good was McCain!!" Oh... It's just a mess... I thought about it later on in the day... Why am I taking these hard classes if I'm not staying in college? I'm gonna get a trade job, no matter how hard the work is. Anything but somewhere hurting my brain. I can ignore the liberal bullshit but man it's the people... And we have to have discussions, oh god... Besides, I'm not going to a top college, so no need to be taking all these hard classes and doing all this work. I'm only staying for maybe two years. I just don't know at the moment honestly... I don't wanna go to college, but I wanna use it as a way to be free, but if I leave mid-term I wanna be able to leave without any liabilities.

I walked into a store and the owner's cat came running to me meowing! I swear she was saying "hello!" It was the cutest thing ever! She kept following me around and meowing! During checkout I ended up petting her and asking the owner how old the cat was. She's 15 years old! Well a couple hours later I'm having an allergic reaction! 😢Well, the runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing was worth it!

As an introvert, it's so hard to have two on one conversations. I can only focus on one person, and feel bad when I'm not giving the other person enough attention. I just do better in one on one than group conversations. Anyone else feel the same? How can I overcome this?

Physical Education Sunshiner • 2 years ago • 100%

I (16F) went to the gym for the first time in my whole life. What should I start with? What should I expect as a newbie? What are the most important rules and principles?

I've had a crush on a girl for months now. I don't know why. I just saw her out of no where and thought, "she's really pretty." Now I notice her more than anyone else!! Help!! I don't want any crushes because I have important things to focus on, but I can't help but think about her. I find myself fantasizing about hanging out with her and had many dreams about her. And the fact that we made eye contact quite a lot and her appearing out of no where in school did not help at all!!! 😭😭😭 I've tried not thinking about her, avoid seeing her, pretending I hate her, pretending she hates me, and even MANIFESTING my feelings to go away. (Which worked for three days 😥) I even tried looking at her more to **desensitize** myself!! Wanna know what made my feelings come back? The freaking eye contact!! As a loner, any attractive person giving me eye contact makes my heart jump. Especially her!!! And it's really hard because love songs make me think about her 😭😭 Yeah yeah I know I should talk to her... but it's hard to bring myself to :(( There's so many issues. I'm introverted, and I would break down trying to talk to her. Her friends are not someone I would hang around, they kind of give toxic vibes, and I noticed myself being attracted to toxic type of girls, and it happened many times before. Maybe it's because I come from a toxic household? I don't know :( Anyways TL;DR I have a hopeless crush on someone, don't want the feelings because I have more important things to tend to, but these feelings are getting in the way of my thinking and I just think I don't need those feelings!! Help please 😥 I know I can't run from feelings, I wish I could 😔 One day I think I'm close to the exit, and then boom, the exit pulls further away from me :(
