  1. @Epikur @Raptorsin7 What do you consider self-censoring? Black on black violence is very high, I havent heard any serious Leftie disagreeing with that. But it doesnt solve the problem to keep harping on that, the real question is what are the solutions. Heres Vaush self-censoring. /s
  2. Took me about two months, I never thought I would keep doing it but it was actually very easy to keep the habit up! If you suffer from laziness and bad cardio dont doubt yourself! You can become fit too! I could barely run 2 minutes when I started and today I did 35 minutes without stopping. There was alot of suffering involved though, seems every 3rd run is very difficult and the others are smooth, guess thats the mastery curve in action. Get inspired!
  3. Yeah, cause noone has ever made that talking point before, lmao.
  4. @Carl-Richard I like how they define history as starting in 700 AD dismissing the 5000 years of empires that came before it.
  5. The problem is it looks like a 9 year old made it.
  6. Thats actually good advice. Will have to experiment a bit. ??
  7. I think he is releasing a video on creativity soon, maybe he will sprinkle in some of that there.
  8. In the social matrix its not fine. Outside the social matrix it doesnt matter. But youre tethered to the social matrix if you want to survive.
  9. I hate being full. No wonder Im a twig. It literally makes me tired and semi-nauseous.
  10. This is amazing stuff. ??
  11. "I hate myself" Is a thought. Examine if the thought is truthful or if there are other perspectives. What if you tried only loving yourself for an entire day? Could you do that as an experiment?
  12. Youre gonna die someday anyway. Have some fun. Or dont, its all good.
  13. Disclipline etc. - Live on the edge of getting evicted, then youll see the importance of discipline. You need to get in your bones that you are the only one who you can truly rely on when the going gets tough. Family values - I dont think this is necessary, I love my family but I understand some peoples families were really shitty, its very arbitrary, you cant force yourself to love your family.
  14. I made a question on a Socialist sub-Reddit asking about their opinion on political pluralism which means openness to different political parties and ideas in their future Socialist society. The response that got upvoted the most was from a guy who said a One-Party state was the best way to go and that "pluralism" was liberal capitalist propaganda... And my original question got downvoted to hell. I dont know why it shocked me, I had always flirted with socialism a bit but the ideological bent just really showed itself when I posted that. I am definitely still a Social Democrat though. Just posting this to tell yall to be careful to fall into extreme ideology. Dont get stuck in a bottleneck, take ideas from different perspectices but dont get fooled!
  15. Pros •No bankruptcy of patients •No death of patients who cant afford care •No price gouging of medicines or healthcare •Less corruption •No lack of incentive from corporations leading to lower quality hospitals The biggest pro is compassion for your fellow humanbeing instead of being greedy for some extra money in your pocket. Wouldnt you be happy knowing 12-year Sadie doesnt have to die from cancer because the system helps her instead of treating her as just a customer? What if she was your daughter?
  16. The problem is that the party can decide and define for themselves what they think is "anti-worker" and that can lead to alot of devilry. How do you stop that from happening? Eventually any criticism could be seen as "anti-worker" or "capitalist propaganda". "What this means is that the Khmer Rouge cadres would often target someone who they considered to be an ‘enemy’ based on very little, it could be a small infraction, a suspect biography, being accused of wrongdoing, associated with another suspect individual… anything that led to a perception that someone was ‘anti-revolutionary’. One thing that someone may have looked for would be a stereotype such as wearing glasses, or sometimes (as seen in the film the Killing Fields) checking someone’s hands to see if they were well worn or soft. This would supposedly indicate whether they were suitable to the manual labour of the regime or whether they had an educated (which was the same as being an elite) background. Remember this is a peasant revolution, and to the peasants class in Cambodia there was little difference between being ‘educated’ or being ‘rich’, both of these classes looked down upon you – but not in the new revolutionary society."
