You can’t educate your way out of the logic of capitalism. These folks are optimizing return on investment, not human utility. The system is working as intended, why would they change it?

“No homo” immediately after having sex for the first time, we have been together for 8 years now

(We are lesbians this isn’t homophobia)

Can you phrase this as constructive criticism for which are the proper words to use in this seperate use case or do I need to refer you to the constructive criticism handbook?

Also, establishing working definitions for use in casual conversation is a thing. Please note that I established definitions for their use.

This isn’t in the context of utility value vs exchange value. This is separating value creation from the mode of production. Work as in workplace not work as in physical process

Labor is when you do a thing that has value to society.

Work is like, a job, where you do labor (or not) and that pays you so that you can spend money to sustain your existence. If you get disabled you can be fired and not have money long term to continue existing.

People, ironically enough, are more efficient laborers when they aren’t doing it in the trappings of work, so there isn’t any reason for work to exist.

Sex work is work, and work (tying your capacity for labor to your continued survival) is bad. Sex workers should be supported like any member of the proletariat

Sex labor on the other hand? Sure as long as you have removed the exploitive element that comes with work.

If you want to say you like how I look compliment one of the grooming, fashion, or accessory choices, and I’ll get the hint.

Hell, compliment my muscles. Literally just compliment anything I have agency over.

I feel like even within the straight paradigm women do a lot to express interest and can still feel “shot down” when those signals aren’t reciprocated, outside of also asking guys out

Be proud you stepped up and took your shot and accept the reality that it did not work out. If your a male this is just a fact of life in general

??? This isn’t a gender thing?

Stuff like this is the expansion of the state the Lenin railed so strongly against.

Why not just have the beeper let the nurse know? Do you think the nurses aren’t washing their hands intentionally? Only report it if they’re like, constantly not doing it! The goal here is surveillance and punishment not improved sanitation

People who this is targeted at and don’t get it when you explain it.

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?

It won’t do!

It won’t do!

You must investigate!

You must not talk nonsense!

It’s focused after they realize what is effective.

No, it wasn’t. Have you read any of the first hand accounts of the BPP?

But at this point I feel like you intentionally missing the point.

The point of movements is to accomplish things. Solarpunk isn’t a movement if there is no theory of change.

Effective political action is focused and intentional. The BPP had a plan. There is no central solarpunk organ for democratic decision making, there is no party program. They have nothing that would make them an effective org.

Idk why you think it has to have theory or praxis to be a movement.

If it doesn’t have ideas and it isn’t testing those ideas through social practice it isn’t a movement?

owning a house and having people pay you money so they can live there is criminal”

The system that makes housing operate that way is criminal. Housing should not be a commodity

but if you go straight to some sort of off-the-wall ideology and you’re very loud about it without discussing the nuances

Honestly in most discussions I find the communists to be the more nuanced of the bunch.

Generally the comments I get are when I put in effort to my appearance. Putting together a nice outfit, accessorizing, doing something with my hair, putting on a good perfume for the vibe, that sort of thing.

It gives me confidence and a mixture of that + demonstrating thought/intentionality is what I think is what is hot to folks. At least that is my perspective on it when admiring other femmes. I feel like it is something anyone can do in their own way?

I get that men might be afraid of like, being called gay for putting effort into their appearance, but honestly just not having a thin skin is an attractive feature in someone.

Okay, do you think people have the right to get angry at problems they have in their life due to an incredibly violent and inefficient system?

Predatory lesbian brainworms, I have forced myself to set the benchmark of “if someone repeatedly compliments your appearance they will probably be flattered even if they don’t reciprocate” and that has helped.
