Mainstream liberals will laugh about how anyone could be stupid enough to believe that the 2020 election was stolen by a secret pedophile cabal as though it's not still totally hegemonic in 2024 to believe that the 2016 election was stolen by a secret cabal of KGB Manchurian candidates. Both of these ideas are evidence-free nonsense, but it's the one debunked by years of comprehensive bipartisan congressional investigations that it's normal to still believe. Hell, at least they've actually found pedophiles in congress, which is more than I can say for secret Russian Skrulls or whatever the these lunatics believe.

Every argument for free will comes down to insisting it must exist because the alternative makes people feel bad.

Decreasing numbers of bourgeoisie make revolution more likely, not less.

The class interests of the labor aristocracy are conservative when the empire is stable and reactionary when the empire declines.

Do they really think that the CPC holds any amount of power over some kid living in Iowa?

47% of US voters believe that Vladimir Putin personally changed the results of the 2016 presidential election over the internet.

Confronting your own internalized misogyny would be commendable if that's what you were doing. Blaming your internalized misogyny on an involuntary biological sexual response is not. Claiming that you can change your own sexual attraction but are somehow powerless over your own negative thoughts and actions toward women suggests a reactionary worldview that just straight up doesn't exist outside of religious bigotry. You did not arrive at this conclusion from reading Marx. Nobody else in history reached that conclusion from reading Marx, and you aren't somehow the first to divine it. You could only have arrived at this conclusion through adopting it in the only place it actually exists in the world (religious fundamentalism) and substituting terms in a way that you found aesthetically palatable.

You've claimed in this thread that you believe you can choose to force yourself to be sexually attracted to men against your own will as a political act of defiance against internalized feelings of misogyny. Find me a single actually existing communist party or political grouping of queer people outside of fringe religious cases that take this position.

This claim does nothing to address the root of your misogyny (your own beliefs and actions toward women) and instead adopts the extremely homophobic idea that queer people have been fighting against for longer than you've been alive: that they're simply choosing to be queer, and that they could just as easily choose not to be if they wanted to badly enough.

If this is just a bizarre expression of you discovering a genuine attraction to men and struggling with reconciling your bisexuality with your sense of self then I wish you the best in working through it. If you think you can just adopt a marginalized identity without authentically feeling that way to avoid having to do the work of decoupling your misogyny from your attraction to women, then I again urge you to please talk to a mental health professional in real life about this. It doesn't do you or any potential partners any favors to be carrying around this sense of shame and resentment or to fake an attraction that you don't feel. Both are extremely shitty things to put on another person.

the idea that your sexual attraction to women makes you inherently misogynistic isn't a position that you picked up from any actually existing communist party or Marxist writer. I don't believe it's an idea you picked up from any living human outside your own head. On the vanishingly small chance that this isn't a bit, I sincerely urge you to work through your self-hatred before pursuing any real life relationship with someone of any gender that you're either not genuinely attracted to, or that you feel ashamed of your attraction to.

This is either a bit, or you're suffering from mental illness. Please talk to other queer people in real life before making up wild proclamations about the essential moral character of sexuality, but don't do that before talking to a therapist and working out your personal issues. Your self-hatred isn't politics.

Gerontocracy discourse often conflates age as a prerequisite for accumulating knowledge and age as a prerequisite for accumulating capital. The former is good. The latter is bad.

In the US, the latter works against the former. People with genuine cognitive health issues are kept in positions of authority because they have spent a lifetime accumulating capital either for themselves or on behalf of the capitalist class.

Real fucking mood to call a popular elected president a "despot" when you still have a literal hereditary monarch.
