Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.

Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.

Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.

Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.

Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

I have a really dumb question, one which I assume has been answered somewhere before, so feel free to either link me to that answer or copy and paste it here.

Whenever the subject of Substack comes up -- like when someone I follows links to their Substack page -- someone always mentions that "Substack supports Nazis". I don't usually read things on Substack and I haven't written anything on it, so it never became a dilemma for me, but what are people referring to when they say this? Do they actively support Nazis financially, while suppressing non-Nazis? Or is it that they allow Nazis to use their site instead of actively removing them? Do their policies, or the enforcement of their policies, disproportionately favour fascists?

As long as I'm asking, what are people using as an alternative to Substack?

Was at partner's family's house for taco dinner and they were offering crunchy shells... uncooked.

Is this why so many people hate crunchy taco shells? Because they're eating chewy, gummy-ass uncooked shells??

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 3 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

You have to cook them? Ive always had ones that are hard like a tortilla chip

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 2 points 2 hours ago

Makes them feel... IDK. Fresher? Crunchier? Guess the texture uncooked would depend on the brand too.

[–] Losurdo_Enjoyer@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

yeah im very confused too, you either have tacos made in soft flour/corn tortilla or have hard ones i thought

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I've had ones that are a soft, typically corn tortilla cooked/fried on the griddle and they become crunchy

ah that makes sense, i dont really like corn tortillas so it would make sense ive never had them that way!

Damn, Michael Porter Jr. doing all that with one shoulder. It'd be cool if his politics weren't terrible.

@Lussy@hexbear.net talked with my old neighbor who just got back to the island after a NYC trip and she was talking about how she hadn't eaten rice in a week. Asked her why she didn't try eating Chinese, sushi, Indian food, or anything that should've been available over there. "Nah, a mi no me gusta la comida rara" ??? Why even travel?

i think this is what people in kenya feel like when the US is about to invade somewhere. something terrible might happen that will affect us all. i have no fucking clue what can be done about it.

I wouldn’t necessarily mind overtime but I wanted to play some vidyas after the leafs game.

[–] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 3 points 4 hours ago

seeing Brad Marchand on the cats is so weird looking to me

like "Albert Pujols on the Dodgers" level weird

Can't handle the smarm of the last Remember Shuffle episode. How is the movie-exclusive alliteration speech by V more "dumb guy's smart guy" coded than quoting Shakespeare? It's about the same. If anything, just quoting something else perceived as smart is the lazier way to do it.

I prefer the comic too, but V For Vendetta is better than 300, dudes.

I’m sorry for my last comment I just want to promote peace and love I was just ordering food in support of peace ✌️ I’m very worried with the conflict

Turned on the radio today like some freak and hear an ad for a hardware store 2 towns over, they selling guns now. I know it shouldn't be shocking living in amerikkka where you can get one at walmart but it did phase me a bit.

depression/suicide/alcoholI've thought of getting a gun before but money makes it not an option not to mention I worried if I ever get big sad that you know. I'm feeling fine now and trying my best to make a future instead of the passive living I used to do but old habits are hard to break. Been hard sober now for probably 2 maybe 3 years now, been trying to eat better and exercise consistently and I got some plans for the future if somewhat hazy. Idk thinking about the somewhat ease of firearms has put me in a mood.

I look forward to the collapse of this cursed land just sucks I have to live through it/my spite means I'm gonna enjoy seeing it burn.
