Yeah. I was abused by my nuclear family my entire life with the exception of the times I got away for a few years (college, army)-- but they always drew me back in again. My mentors all died; I suppose they’d had enough of life and gave up the fight. My nice brother and nice sister both died (Aids/brain tumor respectively) from capitalism. It’s just… you know, frustrating to live under capitalism knowing exactly what is going on. Truly harsh. best of luck to you as well.
The time of monsters began with countries having borders I feel
I can tell you this, as a lifelong USian who has only been out of the country 2x (Scotland, and Canada)-- every time I see someone suffering on the news-- someone like, in Palestine, or the like-- I feel very bad for them but I also notice how they have family and friends surrounding them weeping with them. I am jealous of them for that. That’s how isolated I am here as a leftist; no friends/family that I can even talk to here in the deep south. Not a single person I have met in this entire city I can talk to except on discord; and they can’t even come to town to meet (too poor to afford a car). Talk about isolation, it’s horrible. I am too poor to just move somewhere where I might find like minds and make community. I keep thinking about going backpacking across the US but I haven’t got the courage up yet. I’m building up my fitness and saving up for camping gear, it’s my last chance at finding someone somewhere I feel. Even when I lived in San Fran, Chicago, NYC etc the story was the same. Nothing but Liberals in the spaces I frequented. During the BLM protests I was participating in my ex (this is why she’s my ex) said “I dont mind you going to those protests but DON’T BRING ANY OF THOSE PEOPLE HOME WITH YOU” – this from a polish Jew from Argentina whose mom (a holocaust survivor) we’d just buried. Fuck me but it’s lonely out here as an anarcho-communist
Wow I would not expect that sort of reply from someone on Lemmygrad. You know some people are very very poor, and live in public housing in the 'hood, and are surrounded by liberals? There literally is not one adult my age or any age in the area that wishes to hang out with a communist. I feel like telling you to get bent
Me too. didn’t find out until I was in my 50s and got away from the family that had been abusing me my entire life

Absolutely. I’ve been living alone with no friends and no family for 2 years and I am FEELING IT.
I’d rather have one of those anyday than an M-16 A1 or A2 that’s for sure
That’s great! I had my first Seder with my (now) ex and her mom who was a Holocaust survivor. It turned out to be her mom’s last Seder, we buried her not long after. Very poignant and I am so glad she passed without seeing nazis marching in her neighborhood
More popular? Hexbear perhaps?
Thank you comrade
Is there any kind of talk anyone can point me to on working with/bridging gaps to the brown and black lumpen in the deep south? I’m surrounded by them here in the hood; but I wouldn’t know how to start. Thanks in advance.
I’ve been studying narcissism and generational trauma for about 5 years now, my ex’s parents were in the Holocaust and survived the camps; studying those two things makes a lot of light bulbs go on when hearing the news
Libbed up to the max LOLOL thanks for the forewarning comrade , and the good belly laugh
I bought all the Mass Effects but never played. I’m thinking it’s time
What do you say to my theory that Zionists recognized the largely untreated generational trauma of the Jews that were in the Holocaust and their descendants as something to be weaponized ?
OOOooo I needed to hear that ! Thank you
BEST MEME I have seen in a very long time
