Yeah, as a neurodivergent person too, I also faced bullying and it was fucking horrible.

I can see bullying still being an issue on the first generation of people living in a socialist society, but as the individualistic ideology starts fading in favor of a more collective one, it will probably become much less of an issue.

That being said, it's probably a good idea for said society to actually teach people how to be parents, teach professionals how to deal with bullying at school, etc. I always found weird how school never teaches kids this stuff in my country. If we learned at some point in the educational system how to parent, it would probably lead to a much healthier family relationships in general on society.

There's also other stuff that can and should be done, like teaching about neurodivergent people, about limits, respect, empathy, etc.

One thing is for certain tho, I cannot see bullying stopping under capitalism.

CW: bullying case that lead to deathJust recently a 13 year old autistic boy died from health complications after being physically bullied in a school in the state of São Paulo here in Brasil and not receiving the proper medical care after being dismissed multiple times by medical professionals that only prescribed some medication. There are videos of the kid crying in pain and having difficulty breathing. This case is utterly fucking revolting and shows how deep bullying is ingrained in our society, specially since the school knew and did absolutely nothing, there are reports of parents contacting the directors on multiple occasions about bullying happening in that school, and nothing ever happened. The toilet he was beaten in was called "the toilet of death" for fuck's sake.

That's the thing, you identified an issue, we constantly hear bad and scary stuff about China all the time, that's western propaganda trying to turn China into the enemy so whatever the west, mainly the US, wants to do, becomes justifiable.

You don't need to live there to know, at least partiatly, the reality of what goes on in the country nor it's international relations. I'm not from the US, but I do know all those things I just cited in my last comment. All you need are good sources. You can start by studying how China handles its international relations. You'll quickly realize that China doesn't threat, embargo or invade other countries.

If you are genuinely interested you can learn a lot by visiting Lemmygrad and Hexbear, there are communities there to ask for information, and as long as you're wanting to learn, you will be welcomed.

Also, Xi Jinping is not insane at all like the media likes to portray him. The statement is too broad for me to tackle any specific thing, tho.

I don't think China cares about human rights very much. And I would not be surprised if people gets killed and made to disappear if they are inconvenient.

Again, very broad statement, what human rights and what you mean by this? This probably comes from more propaganda led disinformation.

Also, China is a massive country with 1.4 billion people. Do you really think we wouldn't have proof of people being repressed, killed and disappearing? The people there aren't isolated from the internet, they can access beyond the restrictions easily with VPNs which are common, it would be easy to show this stuff to the rest of the world.

Protests happen all the time in China and people critique the government, just like basically any other country.

If you want the perspective of a foreigner living there, I recommend the youtube channel Felipe Durante, he speaks Portuguese but the auto translate on youtube should be good enough, at least for english.

Fucking hell. This isn't an opinion, it's a fact that the US is the enemy of the world. The US funds coups, destabilize, install military dictatorships, invades and bombs countries and it's the only country in the world to drop a nuclear bomb on people, and THEY DID IT TWICE.

Stop making "wHaT iFs" in your head and actually look at the reality of what China does. It's not even comparable.

I usually buy from bookstores when I go to the mall, but shit's expensive and I haven't gone in a while, so I'm mostly just sailing the high seas for now.

Right now I'm reading Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, still on the very beginning of the book, and I also started rereading Marx: An Introduction by Jorge Grespan, it's very short and only available in portuguese I think, but helped me grasp some concepts I struggled a bit before.

What video games have you played recently?

Last time I think I said I was playing Lies of P, Elden Ring, Sekiro, Hollow Knight and Dark Souls III. Out of these I have finished Lies of P and started NG+, my plan is to get all achievements, but I haven't played in a week, I hope to get back to it soon. For the others same thing, but more like 2 weeks without playing.

Other than that I got the platinum in Die in the Dungeon: Origins. Also, I started a new Bloodborne run and it's the second time I actually play for real, I basically finished everything in the main game but the final boss. Right now I'm doing the DLC for the first time since on my first run, 4 years ago, I didn't do it because I heard it was hard and waited until the end to do it, found out the worst way that killing the last boss throws you into NG+ automatically like DS1.

I'm also giving Chalice Dungeons a proper chance this time, since on my first playthrough I didn't care about them. I gotta say, they are fun, albeit a bit repetitive, and the worst part is how separate it is from the rest of the game. The way Elden Ring tackled this is infinitely better by having it integrated into the world, it feels like just a detour for exploration instead of a chore like in BB.

Unfortunately I'm dumb and thought there was 6 depths instead of 5 and ended overleveling because of that, doesn't help that the dungeons give you a shit ton of echoes, making you think that you need to keep leveling up. Right now I'm Blood Level 112 still on NG and while Dungeons get tough sometimes, the DLC is challenging, but the bosses are too easy at this level, I just beat Lady Maria first try and felt disappointed because of it. :(

I'll have to play again to get the last ending for the platinum, so I'll probably just stop leveling up and do NG+ on this level and see how hard the DLC is supposed to be since I should be around a good level already for doing it there.

What games coming out in 2024 are you most anticipating? Or games that are coming out sometime in the future?

Cuban indie game, Saviorless, that launched recently looks interesting, I want to give it a try sometime in the future. Other than that, Hades II, No Rest for the Wicked and Elden Ring's DLC.

Your example is not that good. Soberana members like Ian Neves and João Carvalho still have video editors and other people that directly work with them, even if Soberana itself don't have that.

We are all living in capitalism, if that type of thing is needed for us to be able to spread class consciousness, then it needs to be done. JT is not hypocritical for doing things this way, it's the unfortunate reality if he wants to continue to be a propagandist.

It's wild that Elon is currently beefing up with the head of the judiciary system here in Brasil, lol. I hope twitter is blocked in the process, it would be a blessing for everyone's mental health.

I remember seeing tankie being used only a couple of times when I was a lib, then eventually as I was leaning ever more left, I joined r/196 and that's when I started seeing it being used a lot more and started understanding what it meant. By that time I didn't even know much about socialism, let alone communism, so I just thought that the folks there were probably right in "attacking the tankies" since they probably knew much more than I did.

Well, was I wrong, lol. Good thing there's a lot of good ML content on youtube, otherwise I probably would still be a lib by now.

Impressive.

Thanks! I realized I phrased it a little weird, I didn't mean run like in a roguelike because it is not that, but meant that I finished the game 7 or 8 times now lol. If you like short fast-paced sidescrollers with outrun themes and a perfect soundtrack I highly recommend it, it's a literal gem. Also, the later plot points are inspired by the Vietnam war.

Also, “ComradeTarnished,” nice.

The shotel and hammer I mentioned is supposed to mimic the hammer and sickle, I hope the build works out lol.

I'm trying to play a lot of stuff at the same time to see if the constant shifting keeps me interested in all I'm trying.

What video games have you played recently?

  • Recently I started my second playthrough of Sekiro, I first played and finished it when it launched I think.
  • I'm in the middle of my first Hollow Knight playthrough and this game is fucking amazing.
  • I recently started a new Elden Ring character too, she is named ComradeTarnished and I don't know exactly what build I want, but I want to try a shotel with parry and a hammer on the right hand, it probably won't work well so I'll most likely end up trying a Grave Scythe blood build, this is probably gonna be the character I do the DLC with when it launches, but I don't know if I wanna do it in NG or NG+1.
  • Yesterday I started Lies of P for the first time too, and while I'm still getting used to the movement, this game seems to be really good, at least on first impression, I hope it lives up to the hype surrounding it, I'm having fun so far.
  • Today I tried an hour or so of the Archthrones mod beta for Dark Souls 3, I picked the starting class with a bandage in the head that looks sick as fuck. Besides a few things it's really cool, can't wait to finish the demo.

What are your favorite video game genres?

I think my answer above shows that its Souls/Souls-like lmao.

What game have you completed recently and what are your thoughts on it?

Haven't finished a game in months sadly, the last one I did was Katana Zero, but it was like my 7th or 8th run. Still great tho, I gotta get around to finish getting all the achievements, there's only two left.

I love the show despite the gripes. But it is also just a show.

Yeah that's completely fine, but what people consume, specially pop culture since it is so popular and specially as a kid, help mold what they think. You're not wrong that it is just a kid's show, but I think it's great to have people do marxist analysis of this type of stuff, we need to dispute these spaces that are already occupied by neolibs and fascists, who critiques shows all the time already. But you're right, there should be more effort into critiquing from our side on shit that is much more problematic and actually fascistic.
