I’m not the perfect parent but I think spending time with your kids, listening to them, treating them like human beings, talking with them, and encouraging their interests is brainwashing enough. They liked reading even adult history books with me when they grew out of their toddler years. My younger kid was really into My Brother’s Road, a totally fascinating biography of Monte Melkonian. I always talk about marxist shit with them whenever I get the chance.
I think we’re about the same age. I became interested in politics around the eighth grade when W. stole the election. A lot was going down around that time. My family, especially my dad, was also very lib and talked about politics all the time.
My kids and I talk as much in one day as my parents and I did for an entire year. And my parents were not terrible parents.

Chapotraphouse•There is an edit war on wikipedia trying to hide the meaning of "goy" and "goyim"
·2 days agoJew here, although I’m just half Jewish on my dad’s side, I can’t recall ever hearing any of my Jewish relatives use this word. I know it’s supposed to refer to anyone who is not Jewish, but for me it has this vibe of just referring to WASPs. Nazis seem to love this word though.

chat•1984 is dogshit but I will die on the hill that the film adaptation had some damn good set design and casting
·12 days agoThe eurythmics song is great. The movie looks like two hours of people wandering through garbage. It’s Brazil if Brazil wasn’t funny or romantic.
I hate the politics of the novel but I can’t deny that there must be some quality to a book that is quoted constantly by everyone everywhere.

·14 days agolittle girl from the end of akira “it has already begun.”
ww2 in europe also began with the phoney war. We’re just in a long phoney war…I guess.
And it’s also like, bruh, if you’re poor, the apocalypse already happened for you a long time ago.
It’s seemingly because all their friends are interested in it. For me, watching football is something that old white guys do while drinking and smoking and it’s basically the only thing they care about. My kids evidently associate it with other things. And yes, sadly I’m a seppo.
Definitely make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector.
The movie The Last Emperor is basically about this.
I like The Mass Psychology of Fascism 😳
Fuck I wish we had a wood stove, we are fucked if we lose power because we can’t heat anything without electricity.
My kids are teens / preteens and have become obsessed with american football despite my spouse and I having no interest in it and little interest in watching sports (my spouse will watch a soccer game or boxing match maybe once a year). Isn’t that bizarre?
Something something, capitalist overproduction, imperialist decline, something something
Not trying to invalidate your feelings here at all but from my perspective it seems like Iran managed to fight off yet another major zionist attack. The situation is obviously far from perfect there but the revolution is intact.

Chapotraphouse•Very good and normal looking hand you have there, Mr. President! (cw: kinda gross)
·16 days agoI only see him speak once every few months because I can’t stand him and every time I do I’m shocked by how old he sounds.

chat•remember the "how many times do you think of the roman empire thing"
·24 days agoI wrote three novels about byzantium 🤓
Saw it recently with my kid and we both liked it. Like everyone here I watched this movie several times…twenty years ago.
Seems ethical as marxists to short companies since that means destroying them, especially if you then send your gains to palestine, the problem is that it’s insanely risky and there’s no limit to what you can lose. I have no skin in the game here and very limited knowledge so anyone should feel free to correct me. I wondered if you could create an LLC and then use it to short the fuck out of everything with no risk to you but it seems too easy to be legal.

electoralism•Took this quiz where you try to guess who someone voted for for US President in 2024 based on their beliefs and wow American voters really are something
·1 month ago8/16, I thought that was bad but I guess I did better than most of you. Probably it would have been easier to do this if views about israel had been included here.








Maybe. This is just something I heard once. I posted this here for critique so…
Edit: looks like 30% is pretty high but basically the goal if you’re a business owner.
