You think they’re scaremongering about whoslims?

Never thought I’d join the war on Christmas on the side of Christmas

I fucking hate farmers. They’re almost all right wing cranks, yet they squeal like little piggies when anyone dares even mention the amount of subsidies they get. Poisoning water reservoirs. Exploiting immigrant workers. Bourgeoise dickheads, I hope they all rot

I’m particular to

The general consensus seems to be that China is cool and good. Some users are disappointed China is not doing more. Other users, like @xiaohongshu@hexbear.net, are worried about the economics of the country as well as the liberal cliques within it.
@jack@hexbear.net Made a post 4 years ago about china (easy to find if you sort by controversial, since we no longer have downvotes) and back then vibes were different.

The biggest thing people agree on now is that there is no Uyghur genocide and Tiananmen was basically a US psyop

You think there was a Whotler?

Gritty remake of the grinch when?

The sun is cool

Fact check: No it’s not, it’s actually very hot.

I love putting raisins in with the oats. Same goes for almonds. I’ve also had some good experiences with putting pomegranate in right before it’s done

There’s also another trend I see yanks do where they go so all-in on “teehee white people no seasoning” they run away from anything they deem to be “white” - hence the dunking on salt that was a trend a year or so ago. Some sort of weird reverse white saviour I see people do, like they try to say “i’m one of the good ones or something”. I think it’s a mix of all three: Racism, colonialism and I don’t know what to call the last thing… Neoliberalism? Tokenism?

You can even get coarse and fine grain oats, depending on how creamy you like your oatmeal. You can yankify it by slapping some GMO peanutbutter on it or even jam, I won’t judge. Douse it with sugar or caramelized bacon bits or some other epic reddit shit. But hating oats? Telling on yourself. No joy in life.

I love oatmeal. Toppings change with the seasons. In the summer I pick wild strawberries. Late autumn and winter it’s appleseason babyyy. I shoplift almonds all year, so they’re a staple for me. I change up the milk I use too. If I’m in a hurry I mix the oats and milk the night before so it takes no time to heat em up and get em creamy.
Not liking oats is akin to saying you don’t know how to put toppings on. It’s saying you’re a fancy lad who gets your food made for you because you have no idea what you really like so you have no way of making yourself a delicious low budget breakfast.

For me it’s more so the impending apocalypse feeding my own depression. I want to give my kids a stable life and I do not see how stability, let alone life, is anywhere to be found 15 years from now.

I appreciate the recommendations, thanks!

Thank you!

Yeah I agree on the “historical” texts. He loves reading, so if he wants to go there, he’ll do that when he’s ready. It’s more the worldview and the understanding and the like. I was considering Brumaire just because I felt like I had to give him some Marx and I hear it’s the most approachable one.

I really do not understand the oathate that comes from anglos in general. It’s like when a bunch of americans on twitter decided to dunk on salt.

Oatmeal is a great base for breakfast. Equal parts oats and milk (milk used to include plant milk, it’s only in more modern times we’ve split it up into separate groups, which is something the dairy industry spearheaded), pinch of salt, over heat, stir until the texture suits you. Put it inna bowl. Honey on top, fruits and nuts, go crazy, be full all day.

Thanks! I’m considering sitting down with him to watch Loyal Citizens of Pyonyang. I¨ll look into the Bruce Cummings book.

I’ve heard mixed things about Stasi State or Socialist Paradise, so if you read it I’d love to hear your thoughts on it as well.
