What is the moral principle? Utilitarianism? Virtue ethics? Like of course Marxists have a political goal but isn't Marxism just "actually societies evolve according to understandable principles and here's how that works out". Or is that just dialectical materialism, and Marx developed other ideas outside of diamat and they all get lumped into "Marxism"?

 

Like diamat is just a method of scientific analysis. Any action compelled by that understanding is compelled by personal beliefs external to the diamat analysis? Is this right?

I just use thetargetpool.com

Remote viewing isn't interesting or useful or anything like other psychic abilities are. But it's easy and everyone can do it.

Yeah that all looks legit. The main reason I think it's true is because I've tried it myself and it just works too well to be explained by cope.

Getting a little buzzed in social settings can be really fun but there are plenty of drugs and herbs that give a better buzz than alcohol. Like kanna or kava or phenibut or microdosing. Even like a strong saffron or yerba mate tea could feel nice.

They would say every criminal deserves to be there and we need to be putting all the homeless in prisons too

Also look into Bromantane, an old Soviet stimulant that reduces alcohol cravings and helps protect the liver

They genuinely think every socialist state relies on concentration camps, including modern China.

My mandrake has reached its teenage years and seems to have lost all respect for me. What should I do? I'm tired of being bullied by a plant

There's a flaw with that kind of question because our scientific understanding of diet is nowhere near complete. Metabolism and the microbiome are crazy complicated. It's better to do experiments like actually cutting out seed oils to see what happens. And the weird thing is that their community has hundreds of posts about curing weird autoimmune diseases or digestion issues https://www.reddit.com/r/StopEatingSeedOils/comments/1bqpel7/so_thankful_for_this_sub/

Idk, I think it's compelling enough I've been changing my diet. I definitely get much less cravings for things, I actually just ended a 36 hour fast I did simply because I forgot to eat.

This isn't silly, men are genuinely too testerical to be leaders.

Ooh this is a good idea and it looks like there's a club near me

 

Hmm... Should I get into dumb VR games like BeatSaber? I want to do something that feels like intense fighting. Biking fast enough it's satisfying is too dangerous. Maybe unrealistic point based karate would be fun. I tried fencing once but it was shockingly lame. I'd join a dodgeball league but there aren't any, everyone wants to do like baseball and volleyball. Hmmmm. I wonder if paintball would be fun or tedious, I could see it going either way.

 

Lmao we live in fucking rural Pennsylvania

 

The old men that sign up for this cheesecake factory of a religion would be so susceptible to radicalization if they weren't explicitly against materialism.

I want to use their giant lodges for good! They're so fucking huge inside! And the stolen islamic motifs are a bit cringe but I want to rave there anyway.

 

I clearly just don't understand the appeal of tattoos. If they were something like makeup you throw on temporarily for an event then sure whatever but... the permanent, painful, and expensive option is the one everybody chooses? To put a picture of a bird on your arm? Lmao why

 

Hm. Okay.

 

I don't know if this question even makes sense, but let's say we have a group of people debating a set of ideas. Over the course of their discussion one idea starts to win out. Not because of a material base, but like the philosophical rigor of the argument is the best. That wouldn't be dialectical materialism, the ideas would be resolved by an idealist dialectic. Assuming they're talking about pure math or something like that. Or is the Marxist idea that even mathematics is a result of materialism?

 

Should I Be Normal™ in the chance it would let me nullify an unjust conviction, or simply deliver a communist diatribe during the selection process

 

"Since 2008, gender reassignment surgery and hormone replacement therapy have been available free of charge under Cuba’s national healthcare system."

What's the waiting time and quality of care on this? Is it actually well implemented or is it just a law with no funding behind it? How tolerant is the Cuban culture? Is the remaining intolerance mostly from the Spanish colony's Catholicism or did Castro's homophobia leave a lasting impact? Why was Castro homophobic? Were there really concentration camps?

Seems like a wild coincidence no?
