    I can spend all day saying that that US capitalism is the biggest global threat to all forms of democracy but I squint my eyes at Putin once and (some!) people here will call me a star-spangled liberal. Frankly it’s frustrating.

    I totally see why tankies are pissed off with some of the people who criticize you, because many of those people are indeed absolute idiots, just like most people on the internet. But if you throw everyone you disagree with into the liberal basket, you’ve taken the easy way out.










  • This expresses quite well how loneliness manifests in modern capitalism. Ecah individual depends more on the society around them than ever before, specialization is at an all-time high, but we don’t actually have relationships with people where we depend on each other. Humans have a desire to be part of a group, and being needed, but we are alienated from the material relationships we have with others that it feels like we aren’t actually part of any REAL social network. Relationships aren’t built on helping each other when in need, but on socializing and having fun. Which means people who aren’t great at that can feel left behind







    1. Sitting weird is good so long as you keep altering your position. It’s sitting still in the same position for a long time that is the worst. I can’t sit still either way, thanks ADHD :)
    2. Squats and deadlifts, other back exercises and running can compensate for hours of sitting (at least in terms of back issues). The technique has to be right though or it can make things worse.
