I've been reading the Communist Manifesto and I found this line funny,
> "We Communists have been reproached with the desire of abolishing the right of personally acquiring property as the fruit of a man’s own labour, which property is alleged to be the groundwork of all personal freedom […]

I hate the stupid "It's not left vs right, it's the top vs the bottom" rhetoric. The left has always been the bottom and the right has always been the top.

What happens when all the billionaires and trillionaires escape the planet they helped destroyed? Who will do the labour? God knows they won't do it themselves; they're too diginified for that kind of peasant work.

I made a stew/soup by just chucking some veggies into a dutch oven full of broth and boiling it for around an hour. I like this method of cooking a lot more than following some recipe and buying all the fiddly little ingredients they call for. Even if the recipes come out bad—which they didn't […]

People in the west severely need to be taught about colonization. The amount of times I've heard racists say shit like "import the third-world" is insane.

I just realised that I woke up at night, 12 hours apart from when I normally wake up. That explains why it was so dark.

There's something that bothers me about the statement that "terrorism" is always bad. Don't get me wrong terrorism always creates misery and terror—hence the name—but I don't think you can always say that terrorism is always a net bad if you follow a utilitarian ethics. You can theoretically […]

I notice a major division among socialists/communists: there are those who view socialism/communism as a destination, and there are those who view it as a direction. I fall in the latter camp. I don't even think it's a conscious decision people make; I think it's a natural separation that occurs […]

Should politics be a replacement for religion?
I've heard people say that politics is becoming religion, mainly in a derogatory way. But I wonder, is this necessarily a bad idea. I feel like politics and philosophy, which I consider intertwined, have played the role of religion in my life […]

I've been questioning the legitimacy of borders. Why is one more entitled to live in a prosperous country than another just because of where they were born?

I just switched from Firefox to Vivaldi, and honestly I love this new web browser. It's so beautiful. I especially like how it shows the megabytes loading when you enter a new page. There's something really aesthetically pleasing about it.

[CW: pedophilia]
I feel like we should be able to humanize pedophiles without condoning or normalizing pedophilia. I think the way we view pedophiles as irredeemable monsters, including the ones that haven't committed crimes, is wrong and counterproductive (note: I don't mean "wrong" in a moral […]
