“Socialism. People’s Power.”
The MST(Movimiento de los Trabajadores Rurales Sin Tierra ) l is holding its 14th National Meeting in Salvador, Bahia, with 3,600 delegates from across the country in attendance.
The agenda includes building socialism and fostering unity among the peoples of the world.
I noticed a blind spot in my thinking today. I have a tendency to go along with the mindset of "good and bad drivers" and "there are bad drivers everywhere", probably because that's the point of view I've encountered my whole life, is putting blame on drivers themselves as individuals. But what of the systemic influence? The conditions of roads and the difficulties of driving competently for extended periods? In all the places I've been in or heard about in the US, roads are consistently inconsistent in design. There are repeat patterns, sure, but it's evident they were not thought through well into the future, especially for the number of cars on them. Nor for various businesses shoving their way in as something people may need to turn to get into.
So although I'm sure there's varying levels of skill at driving a car, that doesn't necessarily even correlate to any given boneheaded decision on the road. People are expected to make snap decisions under stressful and dangerous conditions on overcrowded and convoluted road designs that they are sometimes completely unfamiliar with. Of course it's going to be bad sometimes. If anything, it's a wonder it's not worse than it is.
This is a very clever but simple idea. Back in my hitchhiking days I would obviously spend lots of time standing beside a road watching cars go past and I noticed that some places had significantly more dents and miscolored fenders etc. (like Tacoma, Washington) I always assumed it as just a town of "bad drivers" (like a fucking liberal dipshit) Its so obvious that it must be the material conditions. I'm sure proximity to an international airport is going to mean more fender benders but instead we've been conditioned to blame the people.
Thanks for this.
That said there are some really bad drivers, like me.
I just deleted my Twitter account.
Nice, your life will improve vastly.
A Dutch dog breeder decided to quit because their dogs were probably being used by the IDF and the increasing (legal) pressure from activists became too heavy. Activism works.
Different ways to say popcorn in Latam!
Muy complicado
I like Guatemala's best. Poporopo is just fun to say.
Does the rest of Latin America put hot sauce and lime on their popcorn or is that just a Mexican thing? I ask bc it came to my attention recently that not everyone does this…
Rest of Latin America: "Let's just use one word."
Colombia: "Fuck you here's four."

This reads like when I tried to make chatGPT make music.
Of course they're Swedish
Any other USians have that "growth mindset vs fixed mindset" thing really pushed on them in elementary school?
I feel like it was in a literal sense true but I always felt really infantilized by it. Although tbh I always felt infantilized at school in general anyway.
The research around it is true, in that believing you can get better at something helps you get better at it more than if you think you are "genetically predisposed" to a certain level of performance in said task.
I think your experience of it being infantilizing is more due to the general cheesiness of psych and health learned in school when you're young. When you're young, you're told all these ideas about eating healthy, sleeping early, adopting healthy psych techniques to help you succeed, like the growth mindset. At the time, we often disregard them as just irrelevant things that adults tell us, only to find out when we're older that everything they said was right and they just kind of sucked at explaining it.
I myself am going through this revelation of eating healthier, sleeping better, learning useful techniques in therapy that all were touched on in grade school, but I didn't take seriously back then until I ran into the problems I feel now.
Is Sepultura lib?
Hello everyone, just submitted documents for internship.
Inside you there are two wolves. One does ruthless criticism of everything that exists. The other follows party discipline. Both are Lenin.
I can't deal with my parents infantilizing me anymore. I have to move out
I saw this reel about a guy saying that private chinese investors are in a dire situation because they don't have real estate schemes where to funnel their money so they are doing this scheme where they buy expensive pokemon cards in china and then take these abroad to sell to get foreign currency. It was framed in a "oh look at the authoritarian ccp prohibiting investors!" but i see it as a pretty awesome way to get rid of speculators. China doesn't even lose anything since the only thing leaving china is pokemon cards, i.e. a worthless piece of cardboard 😂
Currently in the process of joining a local coop supermarket where everyone becomes a member and joins in running the supermarket as a cooperative, using only bio and fair trade products at an equal or even lower price than regular supermarkets.
Not necessarily communist led but still a cool thing to join of you have such a thing nearby. Great way to meet people, I guess.
I've been organizing with a pretty organic student group at my college and it's been pretty frustrating to watch the Democrat machine begin to co-opt us (indivisible showing up to student organized protests and ignoring our messaging discipline, and fucking Disrupt trying to absorb us).

I always assumed it was liberal slop based on the thumbnails, is it actually based?
hi
I have the opportunity to go to Tallinn soon so I figured why not but I did not think about it being winter and it being -15 to -20 degrees over there and now I don't know what to do lol. Maybe I should visit some anti communist museum for shits and giggles.
I can't watch the videos of the Good or Pretti killings. I know that's understandable but even just looking at the thumbnails my heart rate starts to rise.
I saw a photo of the interior of Renee Good's car after the shooting. The blood all over the airbag makes me so...afraid for some reason. Maybe I place myself in her shoes at that moment. I don't know. I don't know
lol i found gordon chang clone https://www.youtube.com/@diggingintochina
A Kurdish protest in my city has been the target of a knife attack it seems. 6 people have been injured. I know a lot of people active in the left wing scene who often visit these rallies so hope nobody got hurt. So far no info on the suspects.
According to local anarchists the protest was attacked by jihad supporters, whoever that may be
