I don’t think self help books are for you

I heard POIs even had identical journal logs

Remember how people said that Enemy at the Gates was unrealistic and the author was making events up for his memoir?

“The Soviet Union wouldn’t tell companies to charge fortified positions without equipment and set up machine guns to shoot those who retreat”

I do this, it’s like if I tell someone then I’m only doing it so I don’t have to tell them I gave up on it

Lore? What’s that?

TurboTax plus Republicans wanting to make paying taxes as difficult as possible so people will vote to cut taxes

Nah, it’s fat. That’s why polar animals have blubber

I think I meant to reply to the OP, sorry. Your comment is great, and I like it much more.

That’s a nice thought, but what comes across is “Your current problems aren’t important, now support my fringe political view”

Is “Try to make the world a better place” really so high a bar?

So instead do nothing and circlejerk how miserable you are?

And at no point did I advocate for doing something trivial. I said pick one thing that’s important to you and put your effort into that. Do you think poor people deserve homes? Volunteer your time on weekends to build them through organizations like Habitat for Humanity. Do you think that’s just a bandaid over a societal wound? Find a group of like-minded people and try to fix that deeper wound.

My recommendation is to pick one problem and focus on it. Don’t feel like you need to fix everything in the world, just make a small part of the world better. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, clean up litter, canvas for a ballot measure you care about. Doing nothing while agonizing over how much is to be done helps nobody.

How convenient

See, that’s what I mean. You treat The Revolution as an inevitability, then twist yourself into knots to justify why it hasn’t happened yet.

Me:

In my opinion, Marx wrote his conclusion first, then cherry picked the points in history that supported his conclusion.

You:

I can’t fathom the arrogance of people who say “Marx just didn’t think of x, y or z”

Please, enlighten me how I said that

Why shouldn’t I? I stand by my original point and you’ve done nothing to rebut it

Oh ok, what I really meant was:

In my opinion, Marx wrote his conclusion first, then cherry picked the points in history that supported his conclusion.

Nothing in that implies what you’re accusing me of

The economy of Vietnam is a developing mixed socialist-oriented market economy

That doesn’t sound very communist to me, and I’ve heard plenty of times that a mixed economy isn’t a socialist one at all.

Or is that only when it’s a European country?
