yea a lot, but tbh I’m suck a fuckup I’ve accidentally doxxed somebody’s home address before lmao

don’t ask how

Hot take: For a lot of products and services, Agile is far superior to a lot of other workflows

I think especially with how the US military functions, it probably will work decently

I hate to break it to you bestie but teaching English in China is not better than however much you pay in taxes and doing any organizing be frrrr

wherever you sell, just mark everything as “vintage” and fashion mfs will hype it up more than it deserves

Right, because people never make simple mistakes 🙄

People who get paid half a mill to code mess up basic stuf like this by accident all the time

pro tip: Don’t show a liberal this and talk about the implications, they’ll look at you like you’re a crazy conspiracy theorist

Which I am, but also I know all my “conspiracies” and actual conspiracies are correct

Thanks for seeing me and understanding

I think the last 4/5 times I casually brought up Tiktok to acquaintances/strangers they say something about the Chinese communists controlling our youths or spreading propaganda

Half the times somebody asks me what phone I have and I tell them it’s a Xiaomi or OnePlus they make some joke about spyware

People will mock me for supporting child labor when I answer that I got my clothes from Shein while they’re decked out in Uniqlo and Nike

People regularly talk about their travel overseas in Africa with sadness that they’ll never be able to be civilized or democratic because they’re too poor. They talk about how suspicious and sketchy things are in South Asia/SEA while describing scenarios that are super normal and harmless, just culturally different

You don’t even know where I live, you don’t know what experiences I’ve had

I’m holding people up to 0 standards, it’s just that very little people meet the already in the ground bar that I have

Also, people I meet from non-Western countries pass that bar way, way more fucking often than Americans do. Even Canadians pass the bar significantly more often than Americans do. So no, I don’t try and see enemies everywhere I go

Don’t even for a second say that Americans are not one of the most xenophobic and racist people

I mean yea, I don’t think they’re unconvertible but as a minority, I don’t have any energy left to try and convince almost everybody I meet that Asians aren’t brainwashed hordes or want to take over our country or that Africans aren’t inherently dumber or more inclined towards violence and uncivility

Even as a child I never had xenophobia near approaching what I hear today and I’m not going to sit there and explain to them why my ancestors and the rest of the world aren’t inferior

I know, which is why I still do it and don’t consider myself any less of a communist than other organizers

I just recognize that outside of politics personality and interests wise, I have way more in common with the average neo/liberal than communist

If you read my other comments I already actively organize in a party

Thanks for the reminder, you’re definitely right

A lot of these changes have come within the last 1-3 years and I’m pretty used to making new circles of friends, advancing to new stages of my life, etc. within a year but my current changes might just take me longer

I’m not close enough to anybody to invite them to a thing outside of party events yet :(

I’m still working on it though!

Actually now that I think about it, I have a few times but those friendships all fizzled out due to them not committing to organizing regularly so we drifted

Are there even millions of Western communists at all haha?

American communist party membership is like what, 10-30k right now? And like half of that are Trots?

People who don’t organize, while still cool, unfortunately don’t count since we’re talking about the progress of communism

I do a lot but hanging out is a lot different than being close friends

Hobbies where autistic people are extremely overrepresented and hobbies common for autistic people

TTRPG, video games, furry, etc.

Oh I’m sorry, did I miss the Lenin book where being a carnist or using plastic straws was counter revolutionary?

Clown shit lmao

but maybe its a “you” problem ?

Well yea, I think my post pretty clearly implied that

And yes, I mean making friends and acquaintances

I had absolutely no issues with that back then when I was masking my autism, tried to fit in with well off liberals, and thought I was cishet

But now I’m trying to become friends with people completely outside of that demographic and it’s hard for the aforementioned reasons in the post and other comments

Yea, I’ve been trying but it’s a little bit difficult because of the chicken egg situation

I only have well off friends -> end up doing stuff that mostly well off people enjoy

And to befriend non well off people I need to be interested in stuff that non well off people do and enjoy, but that’s also infinitely easier when I can hang out and fit in with non well off people
