@Socucius Ergalla Nope. Not that easy, lol. If you have a parent who was, yes. With grandparents, it often depends on when they left and/or which side of your family they were on, etc. Even then, you're going to need to also fulfill other requirements, which are usually either financial or educational. I've looked into it. I have a Danish grandmother and German grandfather and neither help me out.
@@keithjackewicz8423 pov : you opened the vaush subreddit and there all circle jerking about killing Russian people and how NATO is godSavior of leftist politics also for some reason half of them are kid diddlers.
Im afraid brace is on point with this one. I knew about Gazi back before he blew up because I used to hang with the most INSUFFERABLE black leftists who all became movie critics for Kotaku and The Mary Sue and write only about the MCU. they treated him like a god because there's this weird idea among all POC leftists that aesthetics wise, the goal is and should always be to take the most myopic and esoteric stance and view anything that would make you appeal to the uninitiated as hostile liberalization. also, Gazi now comes off like the crappy version of Malaki York, the cult leader that got 153 years for doing jimmy saville stuff and is locked up in the same prison they have Terry Nichols and the Boston Bomber in
If you listen to brace's podcast, its unclear that Terry Nichols and the boston bomber guy were capable of building the bombs and probably got them from a cia/fbi cutout
Those remarks about poland made by brace and felix was not necessary we do in fact have laptops intels dell and even macbooks plus us porduce more cabbage than poland so your more of a cabbage country and we dont hate jews well some of us atleast
Definitely doesn't match my experience. Dialectical materialism, even if people don't use those specific words, is one of the more easily understood socialist concepts.
usually when that happens, the webfront has been shut down by the administrator, usually either because dues haven't been paid or the site is being actively worked on in a way that interferes with its intended purpose
Make your message and discussions with people palatable. Leftists are associated with weird people and that they should just shut up about the environment or the inequities in our communities or the violence inflicted on the third world etc. What is true about organizing in real life is that you gain these skills. You learn to talk to people who may not use the right terms, but do understand that they are getting screwed. It takes work, but that's what is needed.
lol at the uncomfortable lefties in the comments who are thinking, "well, actually, Gazi could have been an excellent comrade if only..." "Why is the American left so weird?" is like asking "Why are NBA players so tall?"
I thought the pitch "be normal" was more then bit rich coming from Brace. My dude went to fight ISIS in Kurdistan! I'm still not convinced that whole screed to *"BE NORMAL!"* wasn't a bit.
An amazing thing to watch on RU-vid is the CPI conference Jackson Hinkle speech, standing in front of a menacing giant Lincoln head and next to Mr Smith from a high school production of the Matrix with an ear piece and ill fitted suit and sunglasses, with an audience of the most terminally online people imaginable, saying he’s glad to be in a room full of “normal” people. I think that concept can be very malleable.
If food & shelter insecurity increases the coming few years (and probably forever due to top soil loss) we will see more of these strange tribal clans trying to to grass roots power moves. This could very well lead to localised war-like tensions. This is some unstable shit waiting to be pushed over. It would be funny though if some strange concoction or loose federation of tribes would unite to overthrow the eagle bearing coloniser. They would probably then unite into some new empire or reich if you will and become the 4th eagle bearing entity. They need to brush up on the science though, military logistics doesn't work based on indigenous knowledge systems.
@@akagrace91 You don't want to start by listening to whole episodes. You want to go to Acid Marxist's channel here on RU-vid and start with the movie reviews, then the Reading Series, then all of Rod Dreher, then after that you can try tackling a whole episode. Me, personally, listening to Acid Marxist's channel for eight months now and I still can't stand full episodes unless it's with the Blowback fellas but I still try every so often.
@@sappy441 movie reviews?? That doesn't sound relevant to my interests. I'm not sure how to label what direction I'm coming from but I asked from a new friend on twitter, some dude with a hammer and sickle in his icon, what his favorite sources to follow are, since I'm looking to expand my horizons, and El Chapo got mentioned. Generally I like leftists (not "liberals") but I've been allergic to "commies" and "tankies" (partly because I'm Estonian). ... Thanks if you read all that and any further recommendations are welcome 🤗
I try, because someone recommended the podcast a year ago. There are sequences of words that are novel to me, and everyone seems to be sure. Is it hubris? Should it be tested in the marketplace of ideas? How is it measured when artificially supported?
Agreed, brace made no effort to engage with any of the ideas they talked about, dismissed every concept with “well crazy people think it means x.” Very painful
Chapo is really at their worst when they take on that annoying, cynical “ironic” nihilism and do nothing but criticize the left or anyone who’s politically engaged. Not even talking about black hammer, they’re obviously awful. And yeah internet leftists are annoying but just shitting on the concept of political engagement and the pure disdain all of these guys seem to have for socialism in this episode is insane. I’m a big Chapo fan but this really sucked to listen to.
i think the problem you have is confusing a group of grifting narcissists who identify with socialist politics on a superfiical level as genuine well intentioned political actors. these people are transparently bad faith and make no real political progress other than slightly damaging the broader optics of leftism. they deserve to be mocked
Tbf they're punching right in this episode. Also good humor and good politics don't correlate. If that were the case, I'd never listen to a podcast that's basically just petty bourgeois socdem doomerism
It’s not punching left, it’s doing a collective struggle session. Unfortunately, Black Hammer has been lost to its bourgeois subjectivism. Also I’m gay
It's important we as leftists recognize that some movements become crazed personality cults. That's bad for leftism, bad for us, and bad for the unfortunate people they capture.
