    General Discussion Thread - Juche 115, Week 9

    Jump

  • I watched this video recently talking about how children/teens become "unresponsive" to certain parents as a coping mechanism, where instead of rebelling and trying to argue they just shut down and try to avoid any interaction with the parent.

    I wonder if a lot of the world population feels like that today, where they know that the current governments won't change so instead they just shut down fron everything and try to interact with it as little as possible.

    I'll link in here but forwarning, the narration is very irritating. I'm not sure what it reminds me of, but whatever it is it's annoying as all hell

  • On the one hand, Iran has been the target of the US ever since they kicked out their Comprador Shah, on the other it's very clear the American Bourgeoisie greatest fear is china, and basically every strategy they gave factors china in some way. And it makes sense, even if they aren't worried about a proletarian revolution (which they are), defeating china would be the imperialist's greatest victory since the fall of the USSR, possibly even greater given the shear manpower of the country. The likelihood of that is low, however

  • Why are the US's/Israeli military constantly doing decapitation strikes now? Maybe its survivorship bias (literally) or I'm just misinformed, but I feel like even 10-20 years ago the leader would be the last thing to go, rather than the first (or in some case, only. As in the kidnapping of Maduro)

  • Thx, I did forget to add the 2nd part of my comment which was going to ask about the opposite so I'll ask it here. Is there anything Iran can do to "finalize" this? Destroying US bases is a start but I feel like a good possibility is that we end up to the same position as the end of the 6 day war again, cause it's not like Iran can just invade Israel or something.

    Edit: sorry, 12 day war

  • Beyond airstrikes, if Iran manages to withstand/deplete us/Israel air attacks, would it be possible for them to engage in a conventional ground war?

    Edit:also how's Pakistan and Afghanistan going?

  • Can it be deduced whether the admin is going to focus on Iran solely or are they going to try to do multiple operations at the same time against Cuba, Venezuala, etc?

  • I know Israel is a settler colonialist state that sucks and that Israelis have objective material reasons to support the state's aggression but...you would think Israeli's would tire of war no? I mean, at least America is usually halfway across the world whenever it bombs someone, meanwhile Israel is getting hit with cruise missiles yearly at this point

  • What is it with a lot of "gifted kids" being neurodivergent? A large chunk of people i knew who I went to these types of schools with have some sort of mental disorder. I have...something [can't figure it out. I'll go see a psychiatrist at some point. I'm wagering bpd or ocd], another is diagnosed bipolar, another is diagnosed ocd, another has been in a mental institution multiple times, etc. It wasn't everyone obviously but I've seen it in other spaces too. I just don't get why it's the case. [Obviously I know there's the flipside where a lot of neurodivergent people did bad in school too. Its not a superpower]

    Edit: Whats wrong with what I said?

  • Idk...something about taking more time (even the extra semester I'm taking already) makes me feel like a failure. [Edit: to my family. We come from a poorer background and I'll be the first person to graduate college since my grandma (who herself is an exception). Ergo I feel spoiled or entitled asking for another year]

    I'll think about it. Obviously I don't have to decide everything now, and I can try taking one semester of 16 credits and see how I feel.

    I think it's more like I just know it's physically possible. Like, i know there's people who have gotten their degree in even less than 4 years. If they can do that why can't I do this?

  • I really wish work was more...robotic? Not like severance or whatever. What i mean is that i wish it was easy to "just" be tired. But being exhausted usually is not just a physical thing, but an emotional one. I can deal with being tired or having to work a lot, but if I overwork myself I just end up crying and being depressed.

    I'm looking at my uni grad plan rn and I could theoretically graduate on a 4 1/2 year plan (currently on year 2) with both a Chinese language credit and a physics minor, but I'd be taking 16-18 credit semesters and summer courses. I should be able to do that. I know it's physically possible (and i dont even mind summer courses because i think summer break is dumb), but I dont think Itll be emotionally possible. It would help so much, I could get a masters in nuclear or materials engineering, i could go to China, I could get a good job and I know china is looking for highly educated professionals right now. I'd be great. But...I wanna live. And at a certain point there's some unconscious thing in me that acts like a barrier that stops me from working. I've had it ever since Jr. High. I don't know how others do it.

    It also goes back to the thing about sleep I talked about a while ago. If I didn't need to sleep I'd be able to do it, presumably. But unfortunately I do...

  • Yeah. I don't want to be overbearing or anything. I think she'll be okay. I just know what it was like to grow up so fast and have a lot of expectations placed on me, and...Idk, obviously everything isnt about me. I mean, obviously she's succeeding where I failed so I think she's doing fine. Idk. I don't interact with children that much, and never a child who reminded me so much of, well, me.

    Jump

  • I'm sorry if it came off as privileged. I mean, obviously I knew about "creeps" (for lack of a better term for how I had imagined them in my adolescence) as a child. Don't go off with strangers, don't accept candy from vans, that kind of thing. Maybe I hadn't considered...casually I guess. The idea that any person i talk to could be one of those people. I dont mind if its a psychiatric issue but to act on it has a sense of...disgusting selfishness that i hadnt considered possible in average people (edit: no, thats not right. Obviously most "average people" have the capacity for it. Theyre not all pedophiles, but it was the milkmen and school teachers who joined the gestapo and ss). It's one of those things that makes me feel like I'll never be a girl because I was never exposed to that kind of thing as a kid. (Not saying that being a girl is tied to how much you were abused, just that I feel like im...infringing on the space. That i get to be a girl without having gone through that. Hopefully that makes sense)
