While we're here, what is your opinion on the movie Resident Evil: Extinction (part 3)? When it came out, the mainstream opinion basically was that it had ruined the whole franchise, poopoo dogwater. I personally quite liked it as a standalone movie, fun action film.

Edit: just rewatched it, still a banger. It's surprisingly woke. And big queen energy all around, women get it done.

If it makes you happy. I was just thinking that it's not a good way to change anything, so I don't see the point in bothering beyond "nazi detected, opinion rejected".

Don't take it the wrong way, but the op in the screenshots could definitely chill a bit. That type of venting would never make anybody go "you know what, you're right actually".

Actually, hard agree. Can we make filth a thing instead?

It's the curse of being a leftist. I walk past a coffee shop and think about how there are no third spaces left to hang out for free. Because they were systematically destroyed, in order to separate the people into individuals, and at the same time commodify their leisure at ever growing costs. How there are so many people working miserable jobs in those coffee shops, jobs that we don't need in the first place. About the chains that have swallowed all the individual businesses that could've been of higher quality, had better working conditions and pay. About the bench outside with extra railings, so that the unhoused people couldn't sleep on it. They're forced to sleep in designated "bad hoods", from where they will eventually be kicked out by ~~pigs~~ filth so that their hoods can be gentrified. And all those freshly gentrified hoods will have tons of empty condos that would never house even one of those displaced people...

Then I smoke a joint, watch some cute animal videos, and forget about it until the next time I walk past a coffee shop.

The funniest part was when he called the book "neo-communist". Gotta go get ready 4 Ze New World Order.

Look if there's any help needed in your local soup kitchens, mutual support orgs, homeless and animal shelters, orphanages, community centers, refugee service providers. Activism is about being active, not labels. And you are very likely to meet like-minded people there, who might introduce you to more politically oriented causes if that's more your vibe.

I mean, this is much more about the conservatives rather than the anarchists. Trans people? Women's intelligence and bodily autonomy? Minorities' humanity? Poor people's right to exist? No thanks, we'll work on it not being a thing, even if the woke fake news are trying to persuade us differently. Anarchists, on the other hand, just deny the existence of showers.

Apparently this is a controversial opinion, but I fuck with most anarchists. Obviously, there are plenty of reactionaries under their umbrella, not unlike communist/socialist one. But overall our goals align so much more than they diverge, and in the immediate future they're almost one-to-one. Once we get to the stateless (or near-) society with no policing, jails, and capitalist ownership of the means of production, we can bicker with them and assert our vision. But today it's mostly counterproductive leftist infighting.

We have currently had 12 consecutive months of record breaking global temperatures, with an average of 1.63°C above the pre-industrial levels. Good times.

Trickle-down socialism.
