It really does all start with you. Self acceptance, reflection, and mindfulness go a long way in dealing with others. Love yourself, others will love you. Practice it. Practice doing it in the wild. Don't get hung up on how you come across. Life is a joke in the grand scheme. This mentality tends to draw people to you as well. Not sure if this is good advice but it's worked for me. Also, know yourself and your limits. Set boundaries. Have realistic goals and expectations. People will disappoint you, doesn't mean you have to disappoint yourself. 🙃

That's some excellent advice friend.

Make a meal, you will get better at it every time and figure out your own method and feel. New things I use recipes for as reference. At first you will just wanna take your time and don't stress yourself out.

It took me a while to realize how fundamentally important boundaries were to my mental health and well being. It's super simple, so its often overlooked. It solves many many issues.

Criminal justice is what got me political in the first place tbh. I can abide by your line on kamala. And I would love a female president.

I've experienced a infinitesimal fraction of the bullshit, and empathize with the disillusionment. The system is dying. Trump did his damage already. That and worse are inevitable. Money in politics. Money in all of it, i mean you have people being locked up in the name of corporate, and ecobomic interest ffs. I vote in all the elections especially local because that can help shift police behavior for the better of day to day people. I didn't always vote. When trump first won I was listening on a broken wireless am radio in a shitty apt with no power or food in absolute wonder at the depravity of man and the meaning of it all for me... I didn't vote that year. Fuck me right? I didn't even know where the polls were. The people not voting are the ones pushing boundaries IMHO. What we are opposed to is the ruling class. The dnc bootlickers and fascists alike can get fucked.

Wed need the second coming of Jesus to save this version of "democracy" ffs.

👏

The system will fail eventually regardless tbh. I understand your plight. These political discussions really make me lose faith in people entirely. I didn't vote my entire life I said fuck this. I vote now only because I have the privilege to get to the ballot. The DNC seems shady. I'm thinking about just running for local office, but I'd probably get arrested tbh. I fully agree with you though. The system is rigged by definition. I've seen enough of the interworkings to be utterly disillusioned. But we are only a few people bringing light to a very dark place. It will take time that frankly we probably dont have. Stay alive!

If you even have the privilege to vote. Lol.

The fact that he went against the union in public, did some dealings to get concessions, and the news about it being pretty hush hush after the fact makes it seem even worse to me tbh."Don't get any big ideas" energy.

I think this mentality is what let's fascism take root. And capitalism has a natural bent for it. So trump has already done his worst damage imo. It's what continues to grow from it that is concerning.

I see alot of don't let perfect be the enemy of good rhetoric and it comes off to me as "I've done fairly well in this system, I'm OK with it being rigged to its core"

Any real leftist movement is quashed by design as evidenced by the rampant fascism holding us hostage...IMHO.

The whole reddit thing aligned with other events in my life that pissed my sensibilities off, even more than i can usually stand, and i have learned to stand alot. It made me realize how much of my life was at the whims of greedy fucks who I don't agree with at all. Evolution through revolution I guess. woke me up in a way, a feeling that I've long forgotten tbh with you all. And that's mostly because of all of you and your ideas.

Lemmy is just good for me.

Those out for self interest are shortsighted, and what WE are doing is pushing in the right direction IMHO. Someone's gotta push and here we are.

Hand tools. Wool socks. Fire extinguisher.

That's cause they're all about my self interest🥰

I've removed myself as much as possible from the economic system. I am trapped, but I'm having fun trying to wake up. ⏰️ Maybe when I can't move much, which will be soon, I'll have to roll into a ditch or something 🤷

I loved that

I can't not see him with a Hitler stache now.

It's gonna get spicy for sure. He's gonna go all in on the cult if they don't shut him up.
