Though I will tell you for me personally lately I've been working, shitposting, sleeping, repeat

It's an unfortunate cycle

A frank response. Thanks for the chat.

I don't even know who mason is. I don't care either.

Daily reminder Freud used his works to excuse his fetishes

And your point being?

Or is that a shitpost?

I'm just BTFOing Freud

:^)

Shitpost then.

I wish politics were taken more seriously.

They aren't

The state of society

I'm sure late stage Romans also didn't give a flying fuck

I feel like there's two types of not caring.

Lemmings and defeatists?

It is too much of a burden to take politics seriously. It is soul crushing work if you are a realistic thinker.

^ this

You also become vehemently anti-utopian when you ponder politics and philosophy too much

But burden or not. It should be tried anyway.

That's fine, I hear about utopia and dystopia being too similar these days.

I take it seriously in small bursts where my mental health and work load allow for it. But the conclusions are always "you have to do more", which can not be achieved in the short term.

Utopia must be averted to prevent distraction and disappointment, dystopia must be averted for obvious reasons

Perfection is a lofty, desirable ideal, but it requires a worse thing then letting things be chaotic at times.

Imperfection isn't valued nearly enough.

It is almost a waste to even try. You have to be a professional theorists or a footsoldier, there's not much in between.

@Chillin Chum Hence why Marxist utopias are always failures as far as I've observed

Communism requires absolute accuracy

But no single communist ideal has matched up to it

And has instead become a different system with a LARP feel to it like the USSR or China or Cambodia or Korea

North Korea's a damn dynastic monarchy!

Communism has never been achieved. And Marxism is not utopian. It is based on historical precedent and predicting social trends into the future.

@Deleted User The future revolutionary results are about as unpredictable as the weather a year from now

Sure we may know how hot it'll get

It's probable.

But we can't predict the storms

So we know the follies of marxism and fundamentalism. So, how about thinking beyond left and right?

And Marxist communism is like a man waving a damn carrot on a stick to lead swine

I personally do not have enough political contacts to determine how realistic Marx's predictions are. But they are what they are. Also, there are different kinds of Communists, like Anarchists, which have different theories.

@Chillin Chum My Weltanschauung transcends muh left right trend

Ideal alone is too disappointing
