thanks, but don’t be; i’m convinced that i would be yet another liberal doomscrolling my life away, embittering myself further by the day because of the deep ignorance from the western propaganda like it is for some of my siblings/cousins/nephews/neices who turn to alcohol, drugs and other self destructive coping mechanisms.
i’m convinced that my dark skin; my queerness; and my nuero-divergence have forced me to develop tools that have proven themselves useful in thwarting the asshattery that life in this late stage capitalist world throws at me.
i’m a liberal because most of the leftist theories requires a shit ton of reading and self education, which is going to take me decades to complete at my pace
That’s the indomitable human spirit at work, we develop the tools we need. We may not live in a just world, but we live in one where we can and will win.
I’m sorry you have experienced that, comrade. I can only say that the goal is such a society where this kind of bullshit will be a thing of the past.

I do want to make a “basic” and “advanced” list, as I explained over on Grad.
That’s the indomitable human spirit at work, we develop the tools we need. We may not live in a just world, but we live in one where we can and will win.
Not the indomitable spirit; simply A LOT of ass artificially bouying my spirits. Lol
Both can be true!
