  • I love how annoyed she looks despite the minimalist style

  • The best meal I've had in 2025 was at a Chinese buffet

  • Buffets are underrated. (Although overpriced)

  • And by floor I mean there are booths of sort with 'ground seating'. That ground seating can be elevated tho.

    At these restaurants I also like live classical music and ideally being outdoors

  • There a lotta fried chicken sandwich places. Love em all.

    Otherwise the more traditional Pakistani and Arab kinds. Sit on the floor, stay there for hours.

  • Gonna do this

  • Thats what I'm leaning towards.

  • If I tell em they notice for sure.

  • Not in a developed country. This was a good experience by our standards lol

  • All corporations are inherently evil to me.

  • I could contact them and pay them, for 2 or 3 shoes.

    I could forget about it.

    I could donate the cost of 2 shoes somewhere I want. Theres a charity here that helps women victim of domestic abuse, particularly acid attacks. Or somewhere else.

  • This is also where the concept of alienation in the Marxist sense comes in. He took Hegel's framework, which Feuerbach and Bauer had used to analyse religion and he applied that to law and economics.

    So this Marxist alienation which is in the Hegelian tradition is worth reading.

    Now alienation can interestingly also be a desired outcome in leftist movements as the French existentialists talked about.

    We also have a third brand of alienation in Buddhism etc.

    Some want it some hate it.

    I'm with Marx on this one.

    If you are interested I can find some introductory article for you to take a look at.

  • Economics is the core of political identity. That I share with Marx.

  • Yeah being part of smth and identifying as smth are two separate things.

    I'm a man, straight, brown, proletariat etc. The question is what part of that do I see as the most fundamental part of my identity or politics.

  • In a very basic sense (and this may very well be debated but to explain it simply I'll say): anyone who doesn't own their own labour, as in you work for someone else.

  • The most important point of unity for the left is the economics. Political identity must be defined by being the proletariat first and foremost.

    When you have people who break that, well their place is questioned.

  • Ive never seen non anarchists capable of understanding the anarchist perspective. Its like theres some mental block preventing it.

    And not just on Lemmy. Just generally, unimaginable idea for people

  • Now this I haven't seen at all
