  • I don’t think it rejects any of those things. When capital goods are privately owned then by definition the workers do not have autonomy or control. If the workers of a coop own the capital goods I would consider that collective ownership of capital goods. Not quite public ownership (you still have to be in the group to access it) but not private either.

    Climate critiques are definitely in the realm of capitalism. Your house and your land you use to live on is personal property. But if you are running a factory or a farm for other reasons than for your own use then that then ceases to be personal property and falls into private property which is capitalism.

    I’ve not seen a better difference between capitalism and socialism than capitalism is private ownership of capital goods while socialism is the collective or public ownership of capital goods. Social democrats are not socialist because they are not addressing the ownership of capital goods. They just share the profits via state provided safety nets and benefits.

    This understanding is also inclusive of the different forms that socialism can take. State (🤮), Market, or Gift/Library/Communism. I’m open to other opinions on it if someone has critique or a better definition. This is just the one that’s made the most sense to me over the last 7 years of me being a leftist


  • Every Social Democracy is built upon imperialism and exploiting goods and labor from the third world. Social democracies are the epitome of well it works for me and people who look like me but fuck everyone else. Plus social democracies almost always are very restrictive of who gets to participate in said social democracy since the state can only provide these services to so many people before things collapse because it fundamentally does nothing to break from the destructive capitalist systems. They also tend to be really really racist too.





  • Except the thread was specifically talking about whether people who identify as straight are into women or into femininity. The person in the post responded they were into women because he is sexually attracted to women’s curves (namely their breasts) and some ace person decided that it was disgusting for him to say that because they (the ace) don’t find people’s bodies attractive therefore anyone who does find people’s bodies attractive is super gross and the OP was just responding back defending himself. This wasn’t some unsolicited comment about trans people.



  • Math is our representation of real world phenomena. The universe is not calculating any computations when gravity takes effect. This is basic mathematical knowledge that they teach you when you first learn physics. So no, math is not real and is entirely made up.





  • The anime is called New Game and it’s honestly really fucking good. As a developer who dabbles in game dev it’s honestly pretty true to life and accurate in many ways. I’m usually more of a action anime guy but my wife introduced this one to me and I loved it. It stopped after 2 seasons because they used up all the material but the manga recently released enough chapters that we could get a season 3 so hopefully the anime studio decides to pick it back up again.

    My ex really loved that song and thought it was so deep. She’d say shit like “I just love how he doesn’t have a type you know? Like if your bad it doesn’t matter” but I was just confused because a bad bitch is a type. And it wasn’t her.


  • It’s not just you meditation is really scary and hard for lots of people because being alone with your thoughts is really fucking scary especially when you are already on the verge of no longer wanting to live. A key part of the process however is realizing that you are not your emotions or your fears. That you are something fundamentally different than those and that you can place distance between yourself and how you feel. And that distance allows you to observe without internalizing. It’s really fucking hard but honestly it’s so good for you. Just start small. And like the other poster said talking about it helps.





  • Honestly, seems pretty sus. The link you posted is just a screenshots of some word documents in a folder, the original source they posted was removed by the mods of /r/exmo which they would not do if there was credibility of this being real because /r/exmo loves being able to destroy the church. People who saw the post before it was taken down say the documents are written by someone who is not a native english speaker, and contain links to news articles but little else. I want this to be true because I hate the cult and what it did to me, but this doesn’t seem credible. Even if some of the things they discuss in it might be. I’d believe it more if it came from a more credible source than some guy who posted “look what I found” on /r/exmo
