Nice accusations about what I am “upset” at, too bad they are completely wrong. Sorry you cannot grasp the argument. I have explained it to the best I can. If you still cannot understand it then you are beyond my help.

Continue in the other thread if you wish but judging from how this conversation has gone I do believe I’m just gonna check out of it. It is clearly going nowhere.

What kind of question even is this? Did you really just ask what it matters to people being oppressed that others wish for comforts that came at their expense?

Do you not understand what “solidarity” is?

Did that oppression stop

Irrelevant. The oppression didn’t stop beforehand either, and what came before enabled what we have today.

why is missing those times so bad?

Did you just not read the comment at all? That’s literally what was being explained.

I just can’t with the shortsightedness.

In a vacuum, no, not that one single instance, but I am not simply talking about the singular instance but the mentality and logic behind it while also criticizing the logic of that mentality.

I had already made my point about those that miss the “better times” in a previous comment. Then you made a comment about a lack of seeing degrees, and then I continued from that point.

Keep up

Sure but it also makes me understand that people lack solidarity if they miss a time when their comfort came at the expense of the oppressed simply because they weren’t the one personally being oppressed.

Just because life was more comfortable before doesn’t mean I miss it, because I have solidarity with those who were oppressed for that comfort to have been possible. I would never want those times to return just because I personally benefit from it, thus I do not miss those times.

I also do not miss those times because I understand that those times are what allowed the ones we are currently living in to manifest. The systems, institutions, and cultural norms of those times are what led to today.

I do not miss those times. I yearn for times where those things did not come at the expense of others while enabling evil to continue to consolidate power and disenfranchise my brothers and sisters of the working class.

Nice bad faith interpretation. Nothing about what I said implies that I can’t recognize that degrees exist. In fact, I explicitly recognized that degrees exist and the contextual nature of them.

Your inability to have contextual understanding of the wider picture and not limit yourself to the immediate, reactionary perspective is the handicap here.

One step forward for every two steps back is “technically” better than no steps forward and three steps back. Yet, if you understand the full picture, you realize that both are still resulting in backwards progress; so, another choice needs to be made if one’s goal is to go forward.

If all you ever do is react to the “greater evil” by giving power to the “lesser evil”, you simply allow evil to hold it over you as a threat to coerce your obedience and consolidate power while dangling performative concessions to keep the people distracted by the illusion of progress.

Nothing.

Better is contextual. The lesser is technically better, sure, but it still falls below the minimum standards.

Being stabbed is “better” than being shot but regardless of which, you’re still fucking injured.

Because there are people who don’t have a shortsighted, reactionary mentality.

The degrees of how bad is entirely contextual. And part of the context of seeing the lesser evil as “better” involves limiting the scope to a false dichotomy.

Being stabbed is better than being shot, but regardless of which option you’re still fucking being injured.

Oh the fond memories of the riverboat, the freeway, and Bowser’s castle. Doing the lap skip in the dirt bike track and the jump on Rainbow Road were so fun to pull off. And that secret cave+sandbar in the beach level.

Then the immense hatred of that damn brown valley/dirt pit level. Falling back down off that curve and ending up so far back was painful.

While you’re right about libs getting Rosa Luxembourg killed and backing the State, you’re just being a fucking dick over a joke taking the piss out of a fascist wannabe dictator. You’re doing nothing to help get people to recognize the flaws of the Imperialist system.

Get the fuck out of your own head and touch grass dude. And seek therapy about your relationship with your parents apparently.

Right? Like, bruh I want to be using my degree to research wildlife and help with conservation efforts that have been a pervasive social issue since I was a kid watching Captain Planet, but those jobs are some of the most competitive while also being some of the worst paying.

Unfortunately, I need food and shelter yet those are becoming increasingly expensive, thus making it even harder for me to ever hope I’ll get to use my degree at a professional level.

So, I’m sitting here applying to be [insert some bullshit, mundane job here] so I don’t starve. I would literally rather be anywhere else than here begging from you for the means to fucking exist in this society.

But you can’t say that in an interview.

I’m reading this days late and man was it hilarious to remember that April Fools just passed.

A sense of humor in these trying times is refreshing.

Yea, people wanna act like games of the past didn’t have game breaking glitches and, since no updates, were stuck with working around them.

Missing No. anyone? PS2 Soul Calibur 3 glitch that wiped your entire Chronicles campaign (and sometimes even the ENTIRE PLAYER FILE) because of how the memory card wrote the data?

Dude you’re fucking insane. You are the stereotypical “vegan” that becomes the butt of all jokes.

Bad is bad. Just because you weren’t personally affected by the bad doesn’t make it less bad, just exposes how little solidarity with the oppressed you actually have.

Nope. I don’t really get that shortsighted mentality of missing the lesser evil.

Evil is evil regardless and it should never be missed just because you weren’t a victim of their evil deeds. That’s how you abandon your solidarity

And for those that don’t know

OP believes that leaving in the comic name or artist’s signature is “advertising”.

They have been caught repeatedly removing them through cropping and poor use of AI.

Since OP is a dumb bitch, here is the image with the artist attribution intact

No, that’s what a leftist would say who recognizes that there can be no progress for the working class by continuing to enable the capitalist elite.
