Such a beautiful reply, I wish I was as educated with my research & analysis as well as so articulate with my points as you are - instead of my typical half-assed rambling lol. Thank you and sorry for being overly pessimistic!
For your experience to be a happy one, the experience is not primarily reliant on what is being experienced being something which brings happiness to you, it is the you, which is experiencing, that needs to be of happiness.
So, although the outer world affects the inner being and a better world will improve the inner experience for many and is therefore a just cause, the search for a life of personal happiness is primarily about the situation within you and not the situation around you. - PunkMonk

Ted Kazcynski had somewhat of a point - I say somewhat because he was a leftist hater and I think a bit off the rails. Technology is already way out of control, I don’t think most people understand that if there were to be a socialist revolution in a 1st world country any time soon, just how much of an advantage the state has over the people due to it’s surveillance network. Privacy for all intents and purposes is practically gone already if you’re of interest to the intelligence agencies and around anything with a connection and/or even just standing outside thanks to satellite imagery. And that is just the technology which we know of, it’s horrifying to think about the possibility of tech that remains classified.


I’m not waiting, I and many others are constantly going through the process of learning and applying Marxist-Leninist ideology to themselves and their local community. The Bolshevik’s were a small party until revolution came, the decline and fall of systems and ideologies is not linear, they unpredictably and wildly grow and shrink.
But look around, capitalism is in decay, it is clearer now than it was just a few years ago and in a few years it is very likely it will be even clearer and even more decayed. And this will directly affect people’s political views.
Real, signifcant change to our society only has come through organised revolution (it is how feudalism became capitalism) history has shown this. Please read Reform or Revolution by Rosa Luxembourg.


Oh yes because there only the 2 types of people I gave as examples who voted leave. No more nuance to it than that of course.


A broken clock is right twice a day. We did not leave the EU for the long-term betterment of the working class but it is something which we have gained. If we want better working rights, we need to organise within our own country for major changes not join a capitalist, imperialist entity for mild concessions.


The EU is a capitalist cult, if the working class of Britain want a better Britain we should stay out of the EU. Yes, many voted leave because they’re anti-immigrant flagshaggers types but many were also misled, such as my mum, who believed the narrative that if we left the EU the NHS would get more funding.
Fuck off back to reddit with this libshit take.


Please stop using George Orwell for similes & metaphors. His works were pushed by the West as anti-communist propaganda, portraying a false equivalence of the far left being just as bad as the far right. There are plenty of better sci-fi dystopia authors out there which are overshadowed by this pathetic man.
But aside from that, fuck this fascist government and I wish you all the best with your case
Where we were at as a country 15 years ago when it came to homophobia is approximately where we are at today with transphobia in my opinion. It is far too normalised, I’ll hear people joke about a friend of a friend of a friend being a ‘they/them thing’ same way I would hear about someone being a ‘bender’ back when I was still in primary school.
Like this person you know nothing about has decided to come out as non-binary, one of the bravest and hardest decisions in their fucking life, and here you are laughing at them you pathetic, ignorant, gossiping man-child. Sorry, I just needed to get that out of me.
