I feel this. After 6 years of work I'm about to decide what I'll be studying. Saw the videos and heard the horror stories. Did all the sharing on social media (and still do) but it feels like it achieves nothing.

Spoke to a palestinian refugee 2 weeks ago who studied robotics. 5 years younger than me too. All his plans for his future are gone. And here I am planning for my potential future just like he did.

Only thing keeping me up is revolutionary optimism, which I basically recite like a mantra, like an idiom from a culture I don't understand.

Missing context, but they are trying really hard to bait you to respond. Even if they are acting in good faith, nothing you'll say would persuade them anyway.

Waste of time imo

  • Israel tried to ally itself with the Nazis
  • literally everything Theodor Herzl has said, done and written
  • The ICJ ruling
  • IDF commanders citing and paraphrasing SS-Waffen commanders
  • watch the documentary (think it's called "Birth of a Nation"), shows them laughing about the atrocities they commited
  • biggest open-air concentration camp

While writing this I realized you could probably just watch Hakims youtube videos about Palestine and Israel to get the major points

First I've heard of this, considering it

Only basic stuff, the stuff they can't deny They just portray socialism as bad and utopian (these words are used interchangeably) So capitalism is supposed to be the "grown-ups" way of things; "just look at America they have it way worse than us blabla"

Thanks for the words of wisdom!

Just to clear up any confusion, the revisionism part was aimed at the MLPD, not the DKP. But thanks for the solid overview!

Currently grappling with this question myself, germany has 2-3 small ML parties, but there is one that is revisionist and doesn't support AES, but they have a bigger reach, higher budget and more (and more diverse) members

Since apathy and alienation are at an all-time high around here, I really don't know what to do

Frodo Baggins from Lotr, Hajime Hinata from Danganronpa 2

edit: Cloud Strife from the Remake comes to mind, though he doesn't rank as high as the former 2
