Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Western communists have this weird obsession with purity. You must be the Perfect Communist at all times, or else you aren't a real communist. Org work is still "work" and we can get burnt out, or not have the energy, or have other things going on in our lives.
We all have different limits and struggles. Someone failing to understand the most basic core concept of community outreach is the one failing to be a "real life communist" not someone who needs a break. You're not the PLA on the Long March, you can take time to deal with your own mental and physical health.
We're fucked in the head by lingering christianity-poisoning. Obsessed with worthiness, purity, righteousness and soft sad martyrdom
