Isn’t this how it’s always worked? I think it’s the same with lemmy.world where you can see comments from .world users on Lemmygrad but they can’t see your replies.

Jimmy Carter has been the only president that hasn’t been a complete fuckwad

Old man Biden did well as president

Just FYI, .world users can’t see replies from lemmygrad accounts.

I kept it short because I considered it obvious

Classic.

I’m not disagreeing, I meant for The Principles of Communism specifically because it’s such a short read. If most people read it just once it would save so much time that’s usually spent clearing up misconceptions in conversations.

I wish most people would start with that instead of the Manifesto of the Communist Party (or “The Communist Manifesto” as most people call it). It gets through most of the misconceptions in a much faster and simpler way. I like that you have it listed first in your reading list.

At the very least it would get people to start grasping what communism even is, instead of them creating vibes-based strawmen in their heads that they argue against.

I hear you, I’ve been in deep bouts of depression since my early teens.

In my case, I started to consistently feel better when I became a part of a community that was doing something. Organising, taking some form of action, and connecting with people who had shared goals and who’ve been through similar struggles as myself.

Over the years I’ve worked on my depression by myself a lot, engaging in hobbies, working out, etc. but the improvements were always temporary. It wasn’t until I started fighting for something with others that I stopped sliding down into the abyss, even through bad days.

It’s just my experience, I hope you can make it out as well.

It is so difficult for people to grasp just how deeply entrenched carnism is as an ideology, to the point that “orphan crushing machine” stories such as this are seen as somehow positive by most.

To clarify, I am not referring to the OP or comments on this post, rather the reception of these types of stories in general, whereas in the case of humans it’s very easy to spot the contradictions.

I can only read this in Yugopnik’s voice.
