Yaroslavsky’s “Religion in the USSR” is a very interesting work to me (he was the leader/founder of the Militant Atheist League), also check out the Little Lenin Library compilation titled “Lenin On Religion”. Both are short if people are interested in reading them.

Who “really can’t work” in your opinion?

I don’t work. Every few months I’ll really put in the effort and throw the applications in but nobody wants to hire me at this point. I’ll get demotivated and accept my couch surfing lifestyle again. The times I have had a job, they’ve not lasted long either.

You ask my friends if I’m disabled and you’ll get mixed answers. I personally don’t see myself as such, but I am very defiant and not particularly skilled.

Many people would say I’ve “chosen” to be unemployed (I don’t see it that way, but many people do)

Do I deserve to have my needs met? Healthcare, food, water, shelter?

Lemmy “MLs” will correctly criticize libs for lesser evil voting then turn around and tell you to support lesser evil imperialism.

Edit: I just realized how perfectly crafted this ragebait is. This is my actual opinion though, just thought it was funny.

Where do you live where they aren’t?

I go to gas stations, fast food places, everywhere has napkins and sauce packets.

The second video you have linked there is literally him playing defense for him wtf are you on?

He keeps bringing up how “it doesn’t add up”

Were you literally born yesterday?

How are you not convinced?

He stans every so called “progressive” that walks through the door. Mfrs literally been glazing Platner, a guy who literally has a nazi tattoo, went to war so he could kill some people, and worked as a private mercenary on top of that.

I use Disroot. Idk if sign-ups are always open though.

Any AAA game that hasn’t proven it can retain a playerbase for longer than 4 years is overhyped.

Opportunists when they see a tactic with a 100year track record of not working

“if you don’t compromise and vote for the social fascist you’re actually a silly ultra leftist baby wawawa”

I do agree with that, but what will separate him from the rest is if he calls attention to the fact that its happening and still holds firm to his beliefs when the entire establishment is against him.

My issue isn’t that he isn’t pure enough, it’s that he’s running with a bad crowd, and everyone else I can think of who ran with that crowd got neutered into being useless. (AOC comes to mind)

He’s already said that he thinks the police department is an appropriate size and wasn’t gonna increase it. But wasn’t the issue that it was already oversized to begin with? Even in DSA, downsizing and cutting funding for the police is a popular position. The fact that some of his most progressive positions are to the right of many DSA members I’ve met IRL and online does not invoke confidence.

What I see often too is supporters of DSA-Democrats defending their move to the right in order to be more palatable to the general public and win an election, but when you do this YOU become more right wing, the PUBLIC does not move more left. You must always challenge capitalism to have an effective socialist program.

Socialist in words only. No socialist is running as a democrat. Plain and simple.

Yes, I know that its nothing to do with socialist philosophy. Way to entirely misread my point.

He’s a self-described democratic socialist, while being a social democrat. DSA has actual democratic socialist members, just not ones that would stoop as low as to run as a democrat. Anyone who’s had the displeasure of attending a few DSA meetings can see the wide spectrum of ideologies represented within it, more than half of which can hardly be called anything remotely socialist.

The nazi’s were self described “socalists” too. Let’s not take people at their words on these things.

Edit: The point being made here is not that nazi’s were socialist (they weren’t) nor is it to paint Mamdani as a nazi. The point is him calling himself a socialist means nothing.

Yep. Really tired of people pretending Mamdani is some godly savior of NYC.

He’s just another succdem, and he’ll show his true colors (if he already hasn’t) sooner or later.

In the same way that your friend who drinks a couple beers a day after work is probably fine, you’re probably fine spending a few hours after work playing games.

Lol “left unite” no thanks bro, I won’t be working with social fascists.

Nutomic has said some problematic shit, and is one of the devs of lemmy/admin on lemmy.ml.

This isn’t anti-commie nonsense, dudes transphobic.

Im 25, but probably an even 30.

Lot of older folks will not hang with people under 30. They still see them as kids. I’d like to avoid that social issue if I’m gonna permanently be an age forever.

I try my best not to talk with them. End up talking with them more than I’d like.
