It’s really hard. But you have to listen and gently push them in the right direction. Don’t endorse, but don’t outright dismiss him because then they will never listen to you. Listen and be honest. Let him do most of the talking and throw soft disagreements to try and add perspective when the trust is established. A lot of fascist rhetoric uses anti-capitalist rhetoric to disguise itself as beneficial to workers. Try to slowly make him realize that the real enemy is capitalists in general as opposed to whatever Jewish elites he thinks are the enemy.

Encourage his anti-capitalist viewpoints and lightly discourage his fascist bs. Ask contradicting questions in a charitable tone, to poke some holes in their arguments. Not to the point that they get defensive but just to sprinkle seeds of doubt in their mind. This is the only effective way I have found. If this were anyone but family you would want to snap and show them that they’re stupid and delusional, but that isn’t really an effective tactic at opening a narrow mind.

My older brother has autism and used to find refuge in the manosphere types. The jordan petersons, Isaac Butterfields, the “feminists getting owned” types. I think, or at least hope that my gentle approach was part of the reason he has abandoned these figures and opened up his viewpoints. Nowadays he talks about “the rich” much more instead of feminists or vegans or whatever culture war scapegoat of the day. He’s far from reading Marx or putting a Lenin quote in his bio, but he’s readjusted who he should be directing his anger towards.

Oh truuee. Well I logged in on the internet archive but you have to borrow it and can’t download it which is a shame since it’d be in much better quality than digitising this old physical copy. The pages are in pretty good condition but the outside is kind of worn and there’s a few rips (not by me) seeing as it is over 50 years old. I might try hunt down the original uploader and kindly ask if they have a pdf version or something because this book is pretty damn cool imo. I could like screenshot the archive but that would lower the quality a fair bit.

Sorry about the quality, I just took it with my phone. The book is 150 or so pages of really cool and interesting photos from the time period. I would have put more here, but I think it only allowed me to put in 4.

It’s fantastic how imperialism won’t just enslave you, but get you to celebrate and fight for that slavery. Like what the fuck does a south Korean have to do with Israeli genocide? What dog do you have in this race? Supporting Palestine as a south Korean makes sense because it shows you support humanity equally and are against genocide and injustice. But seriously what the fuck is a south Korean doing waving an Israeli flag? Obviously I know the answer is imperialism (it’s always imperialism), but I just feel like pointing out the absolute absurdity of it all.

I mean all this “two state solution” and recognition of a (highly conditional) Palestinian “State” is purely symbolic virtue signalling. What is left of these “Palestinian Territories” that could even constitute a state? Like a number of enclaves and gaza?

No. The only realistic solution is a one state solution. Right of return, equal rights, secularity; this is the bare minimum for a peaceful resolution. There is no need for the removal of all the current occupiers, I assume most would flee with their tails between their legs, much like in South Africa. Though unlike south Africa, genuine and tangible reparations should be a part of this as well. It’s not as though pulling the knife out stops the bleeding. South Africa dismantled apartheid, but kept the established ruling class of white settlers.

Ideally, a socialist state would be best, but the above would be a bare minimum for any world leader genuinely seeking a long-lasting piece. Although obviously, most US-aligned governments are not in any genuine capacity seeking any such long lasting piece. They just want to virtue signal because supporting genocide is a PR disaster.

Lmaooo sucked in asshole

Yeah that’s definitely worth exploring with a therapist. I mean most ppl like turn 10 or smth and realise they’ll die one day, get super bummed out for some time and then try their best to never think about it again lol. That was me at least haha. But if it’s negatively affecting your mental health then it’s a good idea to address that with someone who can help.

We come up with all these reasons for why death is good and necessary, like “life is only special because it will end one day”, or we subscribe to a religion, which I assume would make death a lot less scary. I mean to me it’s pretty scary to think that one day your consciousness will probably vanish and you just stop existing. But then again, the fact that that scares me is an indication that I have reasons to stay alive. The fact that I don’t want my life to end tells me that I’m doing something right haha.

But then also, like the idea of immortality is scary as well. Watching everyone and everything around you die, knowing that any friend you make or person you meet will leave you eventually, sounds incredibly lonely. And if everyone was immortal I feel you would end up dissatisfied because eventually you’ll run out of new experiences, and the old ones will get boring.

I feel the best case scenario after death in my mind would be reincarnation. Because that’s like a video game with infinite replayability. Starting fresh every time as a different person every time sounds cool. You wouldn’t know you’d been reincarnated, but it sounds better than poofing out of existence or growing old enough that nothing is exciting anymore. Idk death is weird lol.
