  • Hello! I’m a Chinese-American college student around the same age.

    I understand your struggles in university, as I experienced many of the same feelings. Because I went to a college across the country, I felt rather isolated and got sick a bunch, which hit my grades and self-worth quite hard. I’m recovering now. If you would like to talk, feel free to DM me on Lemmygrad so we can talk on your preferred messenger.









  • This is a hilarious theory. By this theory, if a Nazis f***s a woman, they’ll become a lib.

    R/GenZ right now is just taken over by right-wing incels who are celebrating their supposed ‘win’. Shame on any dumb libs who immediately blame Kamala’s loss on the entire Gen Z generation or other minority instead of doing some introspection.

    Trump didn’t even gain voters, Kamala just lost more. Therefore no group ‘shifted right’, Kamala’s domestic and foreign policy was just completely vapid.

    At least Trump made vague promises to “bring jobs back”. All Kamala did was try gaslighting voters into thinking the economy was booming. For example, when Democrats aligned economist Paul Krugman got yelled at about the economy, he had the audacity to go on Twitter later and say that all the complaints were just “Russian propaganda and Trump’s lies”.










  • The House of the Spirits has characters that fit this description to a tee. The book was written by Isabel Allende, a cousin of Salvador Allende, and is a stylized retelling of life through the transition in Chilean politics post-colonialism through Salvador Allende to Pinochet.

    The book ends with the character and narrator Alba saying that, despite previously organizing for Allende’s socialist party, and getting raped by the military coup forces after, she will not seek vengeance on those who have injured her, choosing to believe in the hope that one day the human cycle of hate and revenge will be broken.

    Yes, let me lie down and let myself get run over by capitalists because then maybe they won’t also run over my children.

    Because of her simplistic writing on ‘cycle of violence bad’ while ignoring Marxist analysis, Isabel Allende seems to be a darling in liberal circles. Obama gave her a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
