A place to ask questions of Lemmygrad's best and brightest

The US aggression against Iran has generated even more political fervor. This is something I've witnessed in my closest circles with a Mamdani-lib sibling of mine commenting that "North Korea's also never done anything" which was a shock to hear given some of our previous conversations.

My partner has made even more progress. They've almost completely flipped on many stances in regards to countries amongst the "axis of evil".

This has all led me to wonder: What's the best way to take advantage of the turmoil, and push temporary-baby-leftists to a more concrete position?

Thinking of something like the guide's Cowbee puts out but even more digestible for entry level -potential communists, really want to create lasting impressions that generate questions.

I just wasn't sure if you knew the extent of the family's abuse from my description & it's the structures these people create that deprive these parents of their time with their kids & community, that spread media that promotes abuse & impunity for abusers.

Yes I think it is bad that people being called gurus of thought in #badfilm doKKKumentaries are visibly psyKKKopaths it is not normal to do that to your baby sister, it is Normal To Have A Bad Brain In AmeriKKKa. The original point about my dumb aneKKKdote in no way hinges on CSA being an exceptional psychological or moral characteristic (okay no more Maoist typing it's inappropriate anyways I'm tired) of the ruling class, but there is a financial, cybernetic, legal, & military infrastructure he is deeply embedded in that relies on it & an ancient aristocratic western practice of it. Nobody is downplaying the frequency & severity of CSA in AmeriKKKa (I lied) just using it as evidence pedophile infraSStructure. The way the media rallied around him would be a good point if it comes up again. He gets his face plastered out there as a role model in spite of his family's treatment of his sister. Another good point would be the intersection between transhumaniSSm & pedophilia in the dataSSenter induSStry.

I am not saying rich people are a separate SSpecies uniquely capable of wrongdoing & that ingenuity produces the structures AmeriKKKans live under. White supremacist ideology does not produce imperialism & you can't just awareness-raise it away. Same with spreading awareness for cancer & substituting messaging for educational resources. Slandering public figureSSS won't help survivors without that either. In most treatment of it, even the rare bits credulous to their stories just use it as a SSpectacle for making money & advocate for legislative pressure. Epstein survivors turn to NGOs & become internet journalists because there is nothing else to work with.

Also, I never said I handled the conversation great the first time & seeing your message right before I got called again helped. Anywayd bit late brb Lemmygrad apologies for the spam veering into bizarre ranting again it will happen again

I knew. It's a research point of mine. I was a victim of such abuse myself and my own familial rapist is popular and beloved.

I also know he's nothing out of the ordinary. Most CSA is committed by family members and acquaintance, done for the sake of power and stimulation. My own parents also abused me.

Yeah I wanted to reassure that I'm not saying it's uncommon at all & they should be run over by so many cars + remains obliterated by MIRVs if it came off like doubling down, it's just coffee past 5pm and explaining yourself disease

[–] Orcinus@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I sympathize. But that's also uncomfortable nuance. I'm told that encouraging the death penalty discourages reports because people often don't want their family or acquaintances killed.

This is what I mean about people having to rely on the social capital of their abusers though. The condemnation usually changes nothing. Might enable couch surfing. There is no real community, just clusters of private societies. It makes me miserable to think about it.
