No you don't understand see, he's actually Joe Biden, and I always wanted him to be Joe Biden. I just get really really mad when you point it out because the entire goal was to pull the left to the right.
Nono, we believe that nobody should be having sex with minors as an adult. Very, very, different from your framing.
16 & 16? Fine
18 & 30? Weird, I'm gonna judge you, but totally legal.
14 & 24? Fucking disgusting, a crime, and you should never see the light of day for the rest of your life.
The most outspoken critics of large age gaps and people wanting to fuck teenage kids, that I've met, have been BDSM kinksters. Quite literally the opposite of puritanical white knights. It makes sense too, because power imbalance, consent, boundaries, are all heavily discussed in those groups.
Yaroslavsky's "Religion in the USSR" is a very interesting work to me (he was the leader/founder of the Militant Atheist League), also check out the Little Lenin Library compilation titled "Lenin On Religion". Both are short if people are interested in reading them.
If you are an American, join the insert party that I'm a member of
PSL gets a lot of love on lemmy, that's fine, lot of PSL members here evidently. You can just as easily join any of the other parties that will reflect your personal line better or worse. All the big rallys and protests I see are run by a wide combination of parties and groups (although I'll admit PSL and FRSO are usually the largest by attendance).
Always remember you're joining to do work, it's not just a cool club you join so you can go to a protest once a year and say "look at me I'm a communist now" (you can do that outside the party too!). You can join PLP, you can join the Avakianites, you can join one of the 100s of trot orgs, any of em, just don't join a party you know nothing about and be disappointed when you disagree on something. Study the party program. See what kinda positions the party has held in recent history. Be ready to dedicate substantial regular amounts of time to this group. Different parties will have you spending your time differently, but they all will appreciate a member keeping themselves busy.
I actually disagree with most MLs on the war, but you're deliberately not listening to what is trying to be explained to you.
You aren't being told "Russia isn't gonna stop and that's a good thing" you're being told "Russia isn't gonna stop because it doesn't make any sense for them to as they've almost gotten what they wanted."
I don't work. Every few months I'll really put in the effort and throw the applications in but nobody wants to hire me at this point. I'll get demotivated and accept my couch surfing lifestyle again. The times I have had a job, they've not lasted long either.
You ask my friends if I'm disabled and you'll get mixed answers. I personally don't see myself as such, but I am very defiant and not particularly skilled.
Many people would say I've "chosen" to be unemployed (I don't see it that way, but many people do)
Do I deserve to have my needs met? Healthcare, food, water, shelter?
Counter argument: Everything is fake.
