White Americans: WE STOLE THIS LAND 400 YEARS AGO, GET OVER IT!

Also White Americans: ISRAEL BELONGED TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE 2000+ YEARS AGO, THEY DESERVE IT NOW!

Probably, that’s the conclusion I came to also. Or maybe the original was for the company that made the template and they didn’t want to make people think that company made it made the meme? Idk.

Bro they’re almost 20% of the population of the world, there’s some that support everything. The only political stuff I’ve seen o my weibo or 小红书 (little red book) feeds political lately have all been supporting Palestine and condemning Israel though, if you care for anecdotal data.

Haha! No, it’s not exactly a commonly used acronym these days, you’re good. BPP = Black Panther Party.

I think I stole it from PhilosophyMemes in the before times. They had some really great ones. I agree that Stirner is not someone to look up to, but he makes for a great meme.

Haha no worries, it fit right in with my cheeky comment.

Ooooh!!!! That makes sense!!! Thank you so much!

I suppose I could just Google it or ask her, but I’ve noticed that my teaching uses 是的 to mean yes, but you noted it as “it is”, and my girlfriend uses “对的” when she’s talking to other 中国人. What is the best to use just as “yes”?

Whoa that’s traditional Chinese isn’t it? I’ve never seen that before outside of my books, which I promptly ignore until I get a hang on simplified 😂

Haha thanks. I just did it while I was pooping, should’ve proofread 😂

Tom：你们会不会说中文吗

你： 是的

Well I never went to AA aside from one meeting where I felt everyone was just addicted to AA instead of Alcoholism, but I imagine some of what I know could have been learned through osmosis from others, and thus may not be as accurate as I’d like. Can you tell me which so I can update my understanding?

I’m not sure what the original said, to be honest. If you find it, I’d love to have it. If it is marginalized people, that would be better definitely. I think there was a whole discourse around these memes on og 196, but I only caught the back end of it.

Beautiful clarification, thank you.

I’d imagine so, I never actually saw the original so I can’t say.

I really do hope we have some women in the leadership of any revolutionary organizations that appear. All the best revolutionary books are by women, all the best feminist works are by women, all the best intersectional works are by women, the best analysis of settler-colonialism I’ve read is by women, hell, even the best liberatory science fiction I’ve read is by a woman. It’s time for men to step aside and elevate women. If you’re in a leadership position of an organization and you’re a man, your primary goal should be to find and elevate women to replace you.

They say everyone has to find their own rock bottom before they can begin to heal, and for me that was true. I had to lose almost everything in my life, my friends, my home, my girlfriend… The only things I had at the end were my dog and my car and junk. You can’t really help someone, until they help themselves.

The only way to help themselves in my experience is for them to recognize that there’s no such thing as a good amount of alcoholic, and go cold turkey straight up. No weaning, no “I drink socially.” Or “I drink on weekends.” (This is dangerous and if they do so, it should be a medical detox with the proper medication and under supervision, depending how addicted they are. They can die from quitting cold Turkey without medication).

There is scientific evidence that if one is an alcoholic, the alcoholism can literally overpower even the strongest of willed individuals. But only after the first drink. That first drink is the one that fucks you. Don’t have the first drink, ever.

By tolerating the cycles of abuse and apology, you’re actively enabling them. You need to set hard boundaries. Before you get hurt badly. For your own safety, do not even exist in the same place as them while they’re drinking. If they have a drink, go to a friends or your families house, and tell them you won’t come back until they’re sober. You’re basically telling them it’s okay to cyclically abuse you if you stay.

Sales of most things are down, we’re returning to pre pandemic-boom normals.

That they most certainly do. I’m glad you made it back alive, hopefully mostly intact mentally and physically.

I’m sure that the people in Syria who are being bombed and the people in Palestine who are being bombed by Israel using US dollars really care about our domestic politics as they watch their families get blown to shreds.
