Seeing libs seethe about “too many tankies” is really funny. (lemmygrad.ml)

On stuff outside of lemmygrad, we are receiving a lot of hate, especially by those who just moved from Reddit. Guess they lost their hidden privilege at Reddit as their rhetoric used to be almost universal over there, while genzedong and our other subs get censored and banned. And now, on lemmy, their stuff isn’t universal, as we are more prevalent here. Seems like they really want that hidden privilege back

I don't mean emptiness as in I feel empty inside. I know what that feels like, and that comes down to a choice. The universe is empty, it's full, it's what you make it. Happiness is a choice at a certain point..a perspective.

I guess I mean...I find more meaning in my day to day interactions with people at a human level, taking care of little things, playing music, feeling my emotions, letting them go, and just being alive. It's quite beautiful to be anything at all.

Politics can only get the human race so far, especially after we already fucked our shot up on this planet. I think there is too many people for anything to ever "work" and I think what we as a species and the earth as a planet would benefit from is somewhat of a soft reset. Not saying start a war, or kill people. Nah. I'm just saying we are way too far gone. We have lost much of what makes us human due to "politics", money, our garbage lifestyles, etc. Not saying it can't be fixed, but I think our issues are at a more fundamental level than a system of govt, and those are the things I try to address day to day in my own flavor of revolutionary optimism.

Like I said, I'm kinda jaded. I spent over a decade IVing dope, being extremely poor, and getting run thru the justice system for dumb ass misdemeanor possesion charges. I am clean now. My life is short and ultimately fairly meaningless, besides what I decide to find meaning in. I'm clean now. I'm happy. You could throw me in a ditch and I'd be happy.

Tldr: I'm more of a "spiritual" person than political. I can find redeeming qualities in many things, communism being one of them. I probably practice revolutionary optimism in my own way, day to day, with the people I encounter. Thanks for having a discussion with me, and entertaining my thoughts instead of being dicks. Appreciate it.
