Comrade you are exactly right. About connecting wirh the people that struggle more financially it’s not just a matter of investigating the root of why they think that way(although this is crucial too), but also of learning, the more oppressed is the individual the more they have to teach us about the shape the source the effects of oppression.

As for the people better off the core of the question is the same connecting with them is also crucial, but the argumentation is different, for the poor you don’t have to tell them that they have to worry about a problem, cause the problem makes itself quite loud in their life, but the ones with a bit more money they often feel, since they are not suffering quite as much, that they’re on the same team of a billionaire, and that’s no more than an illusion. But, and here is where things get real tricky, it’s a very very comfortable illusion that they’ll fight to retain, so it makes dispelling such illusion a delicate process of making the truth evident, without sacrificing the connecting we cultivated with them.

So yeah I think you understood me comrade, really happy with our talk, and I really hope that what I’m saying is close to being correct, I feel strongly that it is, and yeah this thoughts do not offer all the answers, but maybe just maybe it asks the right questions.

I like the way you’ve put it but I have something to complement, because often when we talk like people are walking to the swamp and we need to convince them to move away it can sound like we are the ones with the answers and are there to show people (don’t know if that’s what you think though) and unfortunately it’s a very common way of thinking among our comrades, I myself am guilty of that many times. So back to the point the way to ofer our side as an option to someone who doesn’t know is, going back to the swamp metaphor, waking a bit by their side and asking hey how are you, how did you get here, what’s going on with your life. Things like that connect with the people talk to them see them who they are what they struggle wirh, so when you wanna explain our position we show how we understand the reasons and causes of their real issues, and why the answers people give to it are often fake. Our job is much more a job of offer then of convincing we just need to take out the barriers that make our side inviable to them, cause our product sells itself, they just need to be in contact with it.

My way of thinking to help me be grounded, is to understand that we are not fighting the people, even the people with fascist views, we are fighting fascism, we are fighting neoliberalism and so on, the people who are seduced by that, are consequence of a very well articulated machine of our enemies, but the people ARE NOT our enemies, they might make the will of our enemy but they ARE NOT the enemy, cause we need the people.

And secondly the other thing that is important to always keep in mind, is that people are much much much more often swayed by someone that they respect and that treats them with respect, and respecting somebody even though you disagree viscerally with their ideas can be helpful. Albeit this advice is geared more towards the liberal than the fascist, for the fascist is much more dangerous to get close so we need better strategies, but the point is, if someone likes you they might listen to you more. It’s a hard thing, but to be close to the people, however the people are at the moment, it’s our duty, there is no dancing around it, if we do not work with the people we are not progressing, we are just keeping a circle jerk instead of moving Marxism forward.

I think that there is an optimism to be found even through the reasoning, cause there are enough evidences that the capitalist system cannot stand forever, and that change is possible, we are not in a particularly favorable position, but as I see it, we are improving our position, and lately on somewhat of expedited rhythm. I think the victory is on the horizon, it’s just a matter of building the bridge from here to there, together we’re strong we can make a new world, and so we shall.

Look my cousin

Not sure if they’ve been patched since but when it launched it was bad, the graphic enhancement was a lazy job of sort of upscaling that both made it loose the poligonal style (that in my opinion gives the games their characteristic look) and smear off some of the scenery texture to the point that some of the text on in game outdoors and store fronts gets blurred to the point of being illegible, and to finish it off it has a smaller music selection on the radios because of licensing issues

Fanon also echoed that in wretched of the earth.

If you wanna start, I am somewhat good at explaining things, I think the first and most important part of getting into the game, is focus on what you want out of the game, if you like playing the campaign, look at that, don’t go look after endgame stuff, just enjoy the campaign and have fun, and go learning the rest of the game one step at a time. But if you are a power gamer and wanna go hard min maxing from the get go, go for it look into the builds and stuff. The game is a very big game you can go into it as fast or as slow as you want, I can help with what I know, I still have some to learn about it but I think I can guide people through most of it. I can be scary at first but the idea is that there is no wrong way to play it, play it how you like it and have fun.

this discord seems to be of another game, I’m a bit confused

Looks quite cool, just would like a pc port

I the yt channel the completionist the guy played quite a bit of it a year or two ago, is pretty much a 2D metroidvania for the most part, but there is som 3D elements

I have not created yet, I’m open for name suggestions

If you want we can get a meet on jitsi and I can explain what I know, don’t know all about the very top end of the game but I believe I know well the meat and potatoes of the game and I like to think I’m good at explaining things

That is somewhat true but it does not have to be the case, because the game is fun and have lots of fun ways to play, imagine its a board game covention and you have a hundred table top games to play, you can spend a couple of hours playing on the entry game and having a blast before moving to the advanced stuff and you can go on advancing at your pace, so yeah if you wanna go straight up to the deep end can be overwhelming but if you wanna make a character and go thorough the campaign, and maybe a little bit of the end game to get a taste for it, its a blast still

I don’t know how familiar you are with the game but its season based and in the 9th this month it’ll be a new season everyone starts from zero, so it’s quite fresh if you ask me, if you want to try it out I can help you with what I know

It’s kinda pointless to debate a map with no source or metodolgy attached to it, it’s literally propaganda.

Any connection5with current events are merely coincidental

I’m pretty sure Brazil either did not make a stance about it or should be yellow, cause it didn’t pick a side even in the Ukrainian war, I couldn’t see it picking up a firm position right now

What does AOC mean?

Can I play the KPAID side?
