If you mean USPS prepare to be worked like a goddamn dog and pushed around by more senior coworkers at first but if you can take it, its stable work and the pay ain't bad

wake me up when they excommunicate him or call or crusade or something cool

tip from a pro water drinker: try putting ice cubes in it. Crazy I know, but its even calorie negative too

Public defender Tom Ewing acknowledged an “emotionally charged situation” at the arraignment in a Hamilton County courtroom packed with law enforcement officers.

blatant intimidation

yes, please people stop falling for the marketing bullshit. There is nothing "intelligent" about these language models, it is not "thinking" you're just being impressed by their emulation abilities

In this era of endless AI slop, fake news is more vital to the intellectual development of hexbearians than ever

The US was invited, but they're being sore losers about it this year and refusing to join in the celebrations

a subtle slamm

If they picked a POC pope I fully expect Europe/USA to schism and select the first antipope since the 15th century all while claiming its totally not a race thing

I wrote a whole damn rant only for them to lock the thread before I could post it so I'm putting it here (probably before this thread gets locked again)

I agree that modern leftists cut organized religion way too much slack these days. It's simply false in first place (hot take? It's not the 18th century), and promoting or tolerating belief in a false thing is damaging to the intellectual, philosophical, and dare I say even spiritual development of an individual. But i get it, you have one chance at life, and religion is cope for those humans whose lives suck. I don't hate the religious, I sympathize, just like I sympathize with literal opium addicts for the same reason, but scientific socialists (aka Marxists) should be agitating for people to get clean of the shit that is holding back their revolutionary potential.

And Marxists trying to stan Jesus Christ as a proto-communist is some of the cringest shit ever. Jesus would askew "earthly" political ideologies and just build a cult around himself, like he did historically. Just because a guy wants to hand out free bread doesn't make his philosophy not diametrically opposed to communism. He would tell any worker's party to go fuck itself for playing god. But there is no heavenly salvation for the blessed nor punishment eternal for the greedy parasites, the only justice that exists is what the oppressed and working classes seizes for itself in life. Christianity and all religions (except arguably semi-athesitic ones like Buddhism) impede that and frankly Marxists shouldn't be ideologically assimilating that nonsense at all.

I really only give Islam a pass from me complaining about it (plenty of problems there too ofc) because the biggest capitalist empires seem to fucking hate it and in turn I respect Muslims' resilience and how much trouble they manage to cause for the imperialists in response. Respect the grind as they say. Also the Wudu ritual is/was innovative from a public health perspective which I enjoy, but it really shouldn't take belief in God to get people to wash their damn hands regularly. Same with Christianity and not being a raging, selfish asshole to your neighbors, though that doesn't seem to be as strictly followed anyway so what good is it? But imo it is proof of the dire state of the left that the most powerful counter-hegemonic force out there right now is Islam when labor exploitation keeps getting worse. (China is still not counter-hegemonic yet, maybe one day, maybe not)

But if the Christians want to keep a mostly dead community around here it doesn't really matter to me, hexbear is not an exclusively Marxist website anyway. But leftists shouldn't act like they can "co-opt" religion, you're the one who is going to get your ideology co-opted, churches aren't ignorant to that shit and aren't gonna let you cut in on their action ("their flock") without a fight. And why should they? the priests did all the work attracting all their donors, Marxists should get off their asses again and rebuild authentic workers' organizations instead of trying and failing to grift off the world's most successful charlatans who will see right through your coup plotting.

psychotically driven work culture

this is how Americans cope with a sense of deep societal alienation and hating their own lives while chinese people still have ambitions and dreams for the future: those Asians just be crazy

here's a hint: on any statistic you want to be as far from Mississippi as possible
