Oh! I thought you meant my comment to the other poster, saying join us, as in the anarchists.

Joining up, I think, just emails you if I ever manage to post anything. When you say you read the first entry, do you mean the runes of flight snippet, or some of the philosophy stuff? Runes of flight is a completed short story I wrote for school, based on a random reddit comment I made once. Haha. I've been meaning to get back to it for a while, and posted it on there to sort of grease the wheels a bit for writing more. Regardless, I'm glad you like what you read. :)

Aww. You may be the first person to actually read my blog. Lol. What is your question about joining?

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The trouble is knowing that it isn't likely doesn't stop it from also being true. I'm also of the opinion that just because full communism isn't likely doesn't mean we shouldn't advocate for it, because any move toward liberty, freedom, equality, and the general principles of anarchism and socialism are good things. You don't come to the table with your compromise, you come to the table with what you know you can't get, and negotiate to something possible.

Do I believe communism is possible within my lifetime? No. Do I believe it possible at all? Absolutely, not only in the sense that if we did it it would work, but that we can and likely will do it, eventually, if we survive long enough. Do I believe it's worth fighting for, even if I'll never see it? Yes. Because the work itself is enough to improve lives, and the more people who throw their lot in with the far left the more likely we are to see real, substantive change for the better, even if it is incremental.

Also, sorry for the 4am wall of text. Haha

Join us. We have knitting circles and cookies. It's great. You get all the existential dread of knowing what the fuck is wrong with the world, with the added full knowledge that the things that could fix it will likely never happen because we missed our chance at a revolution before the people in power had nukes, and now even if you convince everyone that it would be better that way, those in power will straight up nuke their own people before allowing them to govern themselves, destroying whole swathes of the planet, along with unreplaceable history and culture.

Plus, there's a nifty æsthetic, and a range of really good music from folk to metal.

Is it actually different? I thought it was just a different brand. It's not like miracle whip, right?

Willow Rosenberg

But an excellent band name. Imagine "chemo for the soul" by Living Drugs, feat. 4skin

This would make an excellent recurring story on American dad wherein Jeff is secretly a Superman à la quailman from Doug.

Same. I can't pick a genre or artist, much one one particular song. I have songs that are meaningful to me, songs I rock out to, songs I relax to, songs I drive to... I could never pick just one, or even just 20. Lol.

How do you do this? I've seen it for years, but never thought to ask before. Lol.
