Hi. I'm alienated, living in the imperialist core, I have no political representation, and none of my friends are communists. Except from this website I feel extremely isolated. How are the rest of you faring?

Random thought, but have you thought of posting some sort of Marxist reading club on social media.

By successfully minecrafting the germany-cool and isntrael government servers while blasting "Son of al-Qassam". I would like to believe that the iSSraeli MoD network getting PIGPOOPBALLS'd "by a bunch of 16-year old online communists" has at least resulted in a Palestinian family escaping to South Africa or wherever and a hamas-base taking a Yassin-105 into their shit-loaded nappies. hamas-red-triangle

Also doing a little bit of jihad on some South African zionists too for Nelson Mandela Day on Thursday.

I think I've slowly gone insane, and it's one of the only things that bring me Solace. (Seriously tho, I've stopped giving so little fucks that things are falling apart, luckily I work at a really lax job or I would probably be on the streets. I see everything around me as a joke, why take anything seriously in this pathetically fucked up system.)

That and getting outside away from everything, bht even then there are signs everywhere that remind me about how shit things are.

It's hard to find a truely isolated place to enjoy.

100mg spiro 4mg estradiol per day (joining an org helps too)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

most important factor in staying sane is doing something that you think is politically worthwhile. go join an org, you'll also get some friends who are communists

I don't know that I stay sane, but mostly I focus on my hobbies when I can. Having hobbies is nice. Making things is nice.

A mix between distracting myself with media and coping with spirituality.

In the current world, we're stuck in the middle of a dark stormy ocean being thrown about by forces beyond our control. The most we can do is to attempt to build a raft and wait out the storm. Maybe you'll be picked by another's raft tomorrow and be fine. Maybe you'll drown before you even have a chance to build your own.

That's the fun part jokerfied

I'm not American but I live in the EU. I don't stay sane, I just am insane like a lot of people here and comrades in general. I'm deeply depressed and suffer from autistic burnout which has prevented me from working for some time. I try to vary my activities but a lot of my time is spent just getting high and playing videogames, which isn't the most harmful cope I guess but it can be mind numbing. alcohol is the mind killer, I'm an alcoholic too but have had a good amount of control over it for the past year or so. I just take things one day at a time. i try to keep learning, reading theory and history as well as fiction when I have the energy. i think the best thing you can do is go outside and foster real human connection but it's hard. I'm lucky to have my gfs who I love, I couldn't go on in this struggle without them.
