What I’ve learned in the 2 years of Lemmy being a thing

Warning: existential topics and eugenics and death and destruction and opinions you may disagree with

Two years ago I was a sophomore in college, now I’m graduating. I’m majoring in legal history and I get my diploma in less than a month. Very exciting. Planning on going to law school the fall after next.

But with all formalities out of the way, what have I learned in the two years of me being a communist, but a quiet one?

A lot. A lot.

I think I’m on the cusp of realizing something big, and I understand it will sound ridiculous to a lot of people here. But at least take into consideration that I’ve identified as a Marxist for 5-6 years now. I’m not new to this.

It’s all because of last semester, I took a class called “Darwinism in Science and Society.” I took the class to hopefully learn more on the eugenics movement of the early 20th century and to learn more about social Darwinism.

And boy did I learn. I learned and realized something horrible.

The materialism we

Reminder

Now I’m gonna speak seriously but as a southerner this Roe v. Wade shit terrifies me. It’s no secret that rural states are more likely to be conservative and more violent against left leaning ideologies. That’s what isolation does. After BLM my campus was threatened to have all of its black students murdered. It’s only thanks to Jan 6 and the blowback from that that fascists are more quiet and less hostile. But with this god awful potential “win” (similar to the election of Trump) they could get more confident again. With social media websites like Facebook becoming even more lenient towards the far right, and ease of communications even better than in 2020, the outcomes are horrifying. I’m terrified for women in rural states, especially non-white women. Trans or not trans, I’m terrified.

    Comintern’s Third Front

    Someone sent me this link about it in relation to the rise of fascism in Germany and how the KDP is the one responsible for Hitler’s rise, which contradicts other things I’ve read

    Y’all got a summary ? I mainly focus in American history and its’ labor history, so I’m fr out of my usual history babbling zone. If you wanna call me stupid that’s fine too___
