I think I posted them in c/writing under an alt because my real name is attached to them. And yes it’s generally hard for me to compromise with the desires of the audience, let us say.

I read all the original Dune books plus Hero With A Thousand Faces (and I enjoyed all of it). I will face the wall now.

We are all basically boomers. Our lives are more or less the same as theirs, except for cellphones and blatantly obvious American decline.

I was always left-of-liberal but someone on r/politics mentioned r/chapotraphouse and here I am. I was like…you can hate liberals from the left? This is amazing!
I lost my faith in electoralism after watching democrats in the same room steal Bernie’s delegates right in front of me. I also ran in elections and even won some…and then thought my life was in danger (and that I needed at least a few bodyguards 24/7 for myself and my family because the sheriff screamed right in my face once when I voted to defund his ass). I quit after that and realized that nothing would change this shithole except a violent revolution.

Aside from the reference to covid and the bay of chuds, this could have been published twenty years ago. It’s good to see that liberals are learning and not stuck in a time vortex.

I agree with your second paragraph. I visited years ago for a day or two and the city basically seemed empty to me, which I found weird. Just not a lot of people were around. It’s very different from a place like NYC, which is completely packed.

The r word, idiot, stupid, and lame are all ableist insults we should remove from our speech.
Words like thug and loot are also colonialist and should also be removed.

Sorry you're depressed. Someone I've gotten to know really deeply online who lives faraway overseas has disappeared from the internet and I'm concerned for their safety, so I'm a little depressed too. I actually haven't been on hexbear much lately because I've been talking with this person so much.

Late to the party, but I found an online-only version by searching via yandex. I started searching for it because Justin Podur mentioned it on his youtube channel recently.

Discovered this guy’s music a couple of weeks ago and have been listening nonstop ever since. This song is called “Bosat el Reeh” on streaming services. He wrote three hundred songs, sings beautifully, and is also a beast on the oud.

People can be hot without being communists, but people cannot be a 10/10 without being communist. I assume most if not all of you (except the loser cops) are super hot. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and said “I would do me”? Have you ever jerked off to completion while checking yourself out at different angles in the mirror? These are important considerations, especially when it comes to the optimism of the will.
I’ve had people laugh. Others just stare. One or two people murmured some kind of critical response that I couldn’t hear. I find it strange and just wanted to know if this is an ordinary experience. It’s rare for someone to agree. I live in a rich white area.
Haha take that commies. I was masked in a hardware store. A guy who looked like Tom Skerritt from thirty years ago but taller and thinner looked at me and started ranting about communism with his employee. Did you know that communists want to get everyone dependent on the government? That’s their plan!! He also said that he had read Marxists and recommended that his employee do so. This guy also wears some kind of uniform with an American flag on the shoulder every day. I always got bad vibes from him but never really heard him speak. Until now. I didn’t say anything because I go to this place all the time for work and I see him there constantly and suspect that he may be the owner.
Biobot seems to have stopped publishing data and the CDC (really just the CD) is completely useless. Despite masking whenever I’m indoors in public with either n94s or n95s, I’m mildly sick, my kid is mildly sick, we had to cancel a small outdoor party because a guest’s parents are sick, and I heard of a local business recently temporarily shutting down because everyone there was sick. My kids are supposed to mask at school but I’m having trouble getting them to follow through with it since almost no one else is masking, so I probably got sick via one of my kids.

So I just started my first blue collar job a couple of weeks ago. I live in a rural, coastal purple state that has been trending blue for years. I've spent more than a few hours chatting with "the guys," and as a terminal hexbear user I feel like I'm extremely sensitive to their political views. If you want to call them liberals, conservatives, right or left authoritarians or libertarians, it just makes no sense at all to me. They seem to hate corporations—except for the "good" ones that provide their treats. (They're also fond of the large business we work for, or just terrified of even consciously complaining about it.) Some police are bad but others are just trying to do their job. One told me that we "really needed" a new police station that just opened up in town, while he has also stated that racism is bad. One Gen Xer told me that he has "made some money" through cryptocurrency, but he also has a dim view of the USA's future (and climate change) and has said that he'll be happy to just sit back and watch as the country burns down. It's wrong that there are so many unoccupied houses here, but for you to become a landlord, that's a totally legitimate thing to do. Some have asked about my masking, others totally ignore it. No one has been aggressive about it—yet. What makes more sense to me is just having a spectrum ranging from "collectivist" to "individualist." Libertarians and fascists go on the far right; liberals and conservatives on the right; social democrats / democratic socialists on the center-right, and communists and anarchists on the left. It just seems like this makes my coworkers' political views much easier to understand. They're individualists. They don't like when rich people or the police get in their way. But they're happy to be rich (at everyone else's expense) and to have the same police protect them. As an aside, I've been doing white collar work since I graduated from college and I only just moved into the blue collar field a few months ago. (If you google my name, you'll see that I'm a communist, which means that it's impossible for me to do white collar work at this point.) I'm writing a book about the whole experience. I would also make videos about it but I need to remain anonymous because there's so much money in this field and I'd like to start a worker co-op as soon as I feel comfortable working with this shit. (There's tons of blue collar work to do, but living here is very expensive and the state is running out of workers because it's more profitable for landlords to have AirBnBs.) I'm interested in training communists, constructing at-cost housing, and doing a political takeover here. We would only need a few hundred people to have enough voters to take over the town, defund the police, and drive out the landlords. These plans are pretty vague though and would take years to pull off, so please feel free to critique them.
Honestly seems too good to be true. Google didn’t really turn anything up and I don’t speak Russian, despite what internet liberals tell me. The logo in the bottom right might be a clue. I think the star is also in the wrong place.
The world has "fallen" to communism. The last liberals and fascists on Earth flee to Puerto Rico (sorry) and basically turn it into another Taiwan for a few months or years. The ruling class there maintains that it has suffered only temporary setbacks at worst and that victory is at hand. And besides, if you like communism so much, why don't you move to [the rest of the world]? And they aren't even real communists there anyway because they have not instantaneously transformed the planet into paradise. They're just befogging the masses, who are too stupid to understand that the best days of capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, and patriarchy lie ahead! I'm just thinking about this because of the Yankee cope I'm seeing all over the place. Ukraine just needs more weapons and European soldiers, then it's bound to prevail against Russia, which is collapsing anyway. China is a heartbeat from balkanizing. Haiti is just run by a bunch of cannibal criminal gangs. Palestine can't possibly win. Etc.
Dude took off his shoes and then put them back on again twenty times before walking into his own home. When I was a kid I thought his show was fucking boring. I think libs are just pretending to love him because he was a civility republican. CMV. PS: what the fuck is the deal with Lamb Chop’s Play-Along?
If you know of any, please post them here!
So I felt like I was following the genocide in Gaza pretty closely but apparently these images are at least a few days if not more than a week old. I found them on tiktok as well as a telegram channel called Gaza Now in English. I honestly couldn’t believe what I was looking at, but once I found this poor kid’s name I saw that his death had already been covered by establishment media. You can find these images and articles by googling his name (Yazan al-Kafarnev) and honor him by doing whatever you can to stop the genocide. I’m a parent and have trouble writing this but we failed this kid, our protests failed to save him.
I used to think that people focusing so much ire on boomers was anti-Marxist because the main contradiction in American society is class (settler / indigenous, bourgeois / proletarian) but I’ve started to wonder if this profound and really ubiquitous age-consciousness (ageism) is actually just a step toward class consciousness? Like I’m guessing most people who hate boomers don’t really have a problem with homeless boomers? I’m thinking also of how women in South Korea are refusing to get married or have kids and how this will basically destroy South Korea (albeit slowly) if trends continue. Women in South Korea are objectively correct in identifying men as their oppressors, but is this awareness of the patriarchy a step toward class consciousness and revolutionary thought or is it a dead end? I guess it depends on the person as well as circumstances. It still seems like, regardless of how hard the bourgeoisie pushes the idea that only individuals exist and anyone can rise to the top if they just work hard and smart enough, large numbers of people are possibly developing nascent class consciousness, which can lead toward an understanding of historical materialism and scientific socialism. This is basically an extended “is it gonna be barbarism or socialism?” meme but I just thought I’d post it here to see what people thought.
I’ve spent years arguing with people online and really have nothing to show for it aside from my own education and amusement. I was radicalized by discovering r/chapotraphouse back in 2018 I think. Nobody argued with me there, I just lurked, loved the memes, thought it was the funniest place online, then started reading theory because so many people there talked about it. Even though liberals are obviously ignorant about communism, their ignorance is willful: they never thank us for educating them, they always get angry and double-down. (In real life, it’s much easier to embarrass them and get them to shut up.) Still, I admit that it’s possible to change someone’s mind in an online debate, I just haven’t seen it happen when it comes to communism (libs on r/changemyview can change their minds about lib shit). Have you ever seen a lib admit that they were wrong about communism?
“You must be fun at parties.” Uh why would I want to party with Nazis? “So edgy.” If I cared what liberals thought, I wouldn’t be a communist. “You’re just a larper.” Larp it till you make it, am I right? Also, what have larpers ever done to you? “Nazism and communism are the same.” Yes, Nazism is when you want to destroy Nazism forever rather than fund it the way you do.
