The west is like 20% of the world. Fuck it. Focus on the east and south.

Is playing a heavy role here

The increase in economic hardship as a result of NATO’s war is a main cause I think, western Europe in particular is experiencing a lot of this and it’s feeding into right-wing talking points. It’s rough and likely is only going to get worse. Social democracy is rotting in real time.

You need better podcasts lol

Countries are learning that US sanctions only hold so much power now. And they can circumvent them with without much punishment. It’s incredible to see. Hopefully heavily sanctioned countries will start collaborating a continue to grow the new global economy independently of the west.

No, I don’t have a better answer than that, but no I don’t think so

Thats a lot of words.

HarmonyOS I love the new Huawei OS and love that they made an open source version, OpenHarmony, me and my friend screw around with it on an old recycled google home with the big touch screen. But yeah, I love HarmonyOS, way prefer it to android os

I’m not USian but from my understanding of US leftist parties, I don’t understand why anyone would join these parties when PSL exists, they seem to be the only decent party there. Everyone else either seems like Larpers or ops, it’s probably being a bit reductionist, but

The American Council of Bolsheviks sounds like a larp or a Fed op , what a terrible name.

Online doesn’t have to be a wasteland, in person should be the priority, but there are many people for one reason or another who cannot participate in person. Finding methods to help the cause comes in all forms, like I said to another reply here, learn to make agitprop, write, create, research, work on things like the wiki, help local orgs build social media presence, etc.

Most of us are unwilling participants at best and outright victims at worse to this system, many are working extensive hours for low wages with minimal benefits, exasperating situations that suffocate us. Helping people find ways to get involved within their material situations is going to be more productive than scolding people for surviving in the best way they can. Teach, don’t punish, guide, don’t scold.

We need to empower each other, to find the best methods for each other’s participation in this struggle.

Is that something you’d be interested in? Maybe we can work in this small, fairly cozy community to help people find their “calling” in the socialist struggle? This shit can be daunting and scary, even to life long leftists.

I think I might propose to my partner, we’ve been together for 3 years, she loves living in different countries with me as I move around for work a lot, we have similar energy and are both Marxists, I love her dearly and think I’m ready to show that level of love to her.

Otherwise, I am writing a lot more, my therapist was right that it would help my depressive slump, been unmotivated and want to get back on track before I move to a new city.

It’s similar to Trump, DeSantis is like Trump politically, but he is politically savvy and I think much more dangerous. I’m worried they are going to get competent borris Johnson in the UK

Mum is Irish, Dad is Chinese. I grew up mostly in Ireland. Now in Beijing for work and hoping to grow and develop a deeper understanding with my other home country.
