You don’t want a discussion, and you’re not answering sincerely. You saw an opportunity to virtue signal and rant about all sorts of things that have nothing to do with me or what I said.
Bet you that person couldn’t even organize the documents on their desk, let alone a global revolution. That person sounds like a future George Orwell to me not gonna lie… Or maybe they’re just some edgy 15 year old genzdong’er debatebro
Tell that to some of the commenters, one person in particular insists that snitching is ok. Also went all debate bro about it.
the fact you liken this to a fucking videogame betrays how deeply unserious you are.
touch grass please I am begging you. Just go outside, vitamin D is good for you.
And I don’t even necessarily disagree with you, just everyone involved in this whole thing are cringe as fuck
Did you even read my comment? What are you even talking about? I was talking about that other person, and the fact that they aren’t serious and need to touch grass. That’s why I likened it to a video game, to show how deeply unserious THEY are. Jesus fucking christ the lack of analysis from the western left. No wonder the fash is going to win. We got dumbasses whose first instinct is to snitch cuz they think they’re roleplaying as revolutionaries. And when someone (me) points out how idealitic and video game like that is, I get told I’m unserious? Seriously? Jesus fucking christ…
I doubt this person has actually interacted with people in the real world. To them snitching on this Chinese student/girl/whatever is just some sort of video game decision (like Skyrim or some shit). Completely idealistic and fucking stupid if you ask me.
You’re really a debate bro aren’t you? lolololol
Good luck with your revolution bro. gimme a shout out when it’s successful. hopefully nobody snitches on you LOLOLOLOILOL
(And possibly, if the story breaks in the liberal media, creating a martyr)
Tell that to the dumbass below (https://hexbear.net/comment/4684307) who wrote out an entire screed about why it’s good to snitch on this girl lololol
I’m gonna quote that user for posterity’s sake:
Why the fuck is this ignorance upvoted?
Shame on this liberalism. Shame on your cowardice, your weak will.
1 month old account and already spreading nonsense. Having a lemmygrad account is a privilege not a right.
Are we that full of anarcho-liberals who think good things and bad things are exactly the same, all cops are bastards and government and authority are bad that we just accept “snitching” is bad?
No. Reporting counter-revolutionaries and liberals is good when done to socialist authorities.
Do you think a revolution will succeed or endure in the face of external attempts at overthrow, pressure, etc without snitching? Without reporting liberalism? Counter-revolutionaries? Traitors? etc. Of course not.
Why then do you hate China? Why do you hate an in-power communist party? Why then do you take the position that there is harm to socialism, to communist parties, to the global proletariat from reporting backwards, anti-social, improper, and treasonous behaviors? Should people not be held to account?
Do you think counter-revolution springs out of thin air? How do you think the events of June 4th occurred? Did they materialize out of nowhere? Or was there a build-up of exactly this kind of person, this kind of thinking, forming networks, organizing, etc. How do you think terrorism and CIA spy rings operate but through people like this, their friends, their acquaintances, family they pressure or trick into revealing info. Every little piece of information is helpful for understanding the whole, the puzzle. For building leads, understanding relationships, uncovering persons of interests.
Do you seriously think that a western citizen who reports an overseas Chinese citizen to the PRC will help China? It will draw unnecessary attention because it will make it look like China is somehow “recruiting spies” in the US. This girl is probably just some rich kid who loves the west. Have you never seen them before? Have you even left your room and interacted with the outside world? There are plenty of people from China abroad that criticize the shit out of the government. The Chinese government doesn’t give a shit about small fries like them cuz they’re powerless to actually effect any change. Are you even thinking dialectically? Or do you think you’ll get some reward from the Chinese gov’t for doing such a thing? WTF are you on about??
Reporting a student will not bring about a global revolution, get a grip. I’m not even going to bother responding to your rage-filled post.
Yeah that user is… uh, I’m speechless.
Is this a joke post or are you seriously trying to snitch?
Go on meetup.com, there should be local expat groups
Failing to diagnose properly, if at all
Acting like they are superior in every way
Getting upset if you research stuff yourself beforehand
Telling you that it’s either “stress-related” or “age-related”
Etc. Etc.
Don’t vote, and whoever tries to shame me can go climb a tree
I mean I still consume Grayzone content when it comes to anti-imperialist stuff. Max and Aaron, and the new guys like Kit, etc. are all really good. Now that the whole vaccine thing is kind of “over” so to speak, Max isn’t really bringing it up that much and is sticking to anti-imperialist shit mostly. I also consume Norton’s stuff as well. It’s kind of sad that they broke up as they were a great team. Aaron still seems to get along just fine with Max and I’m pretty sure he was against Max when it came to the vaccine stuff as well. So I’m not sure exactly what happened behind the scenes with Max and Ben.
Also it seems like the situation has gotten somewhat spicer: https://nitter.net/MaxBlumenthal/status/1710429732221616552#m
Once you become confident enough in your own ideological convictions as a Marxist-Leninist there is no reason why you can’t draw on sources with all sorts of different ideological inclinations as long as the analysis they provide is solid and valuable.
This is literally what Marx and Engels did. They read Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, etc and it was all important in forming their thought. They even read scientific stuff like Darwin, etc.
I think leftists need to look outside their little bubble otherwise things are going to blindside them. One example I can think of is how most lefists were completely blindsided by Andrew Tate and didn’t even know about him until after he had already blew up and was on the verge of having all his social media purged. And the standard response is “hurr durr why do I need to know about him, hE’s A nObOdY!!” I mean yeah, to you he might be but he was super influential to millions of men and boys(and still is). And if you want to reach these guys you need to know what they are immersed in. Then you can apply a mass line tactic of sorting them into advanced, intermediate, backwards and do all that analysis. But you can’t analyze what you aren’t even aware of.
they are nowhere near as “experimental” as some people make them out to be.
Even so it is kind of weird that they were basically fast tracked to the masses. Hell they even called it “operation lightspeed” if I remember correctly. I’ve never seen something get approved so fast. Part of me thinks that they needed something to get people to go back to work (of course service workers were always working but they seemed to also want to put the white collar workers back in line too)
Hell, there’s a minimum age for running for president for chryssake and it’s well past any definition of adulthood.
Yeah and it results in super out of touch people becoming president.
He usually doesn’t like to pirate from small companies or professors who are trying to make a living by selling books, but from millionaires & plenty of mega corps which already have loads of money, he feels like it’s the right move to pirate
Even if you paid for everything, most likely these professors are barely going to get anything out of it. They get into shitty contracts with big publishers. So unless they publish stuff on their own, you’re not really helping them by buying their books. Oftentimes, you can just email the profs and they’ll send you a free pdf of their stuff because they just want to get their ideas out there and don’t care too much about the money.
“deeply unserious” at this point might as well be the new “tankie”
So whatever you do you fam…
