Didn’t know how similar Brazil’s class society is to India’s

I have decided to commence my hustle tomorrow onwards. No more depression

Climate finance, end of neocolonialism and the destruction of capitalism will not happen in the GN, it will definitely not be given to us via diplomatic negotiations and institutions. It will have to be snatched, violently most likely. This is my main takeaway from the conference.

Death to the Global North! 🤪

Idk why despite ranting about this to my friends I cannot stop thinking about that one sentence. Like the attitude that certain tasks are so disgusting that they are beneath you, but being okay with another class of more exploited workers do the same in worse conditions back home. HMMMM.

This has the same energy as another incident. This one Brahmin guy I know was quarantined during the pandemic. People were keeping their distance and obviously taking precautions AS THEY SHOULD.

This dickhead has the AUDACITY to say, "I FEEL LIKE A DALIT"

There are several reasons to criticise my workplace: pay is peanuts, they expect too much at that pay including overtime sometimes.

But this new guy joined and he was tripping about other things only. We are expected to clean the toilets as a part of our duties. This includes sometimes putting our hand down the bowl and unclogging it. My issue with this is that we are not paid to do all these side quests. But the task itself is just a task. None of my coworkers complain about it.

This mfker acts like it is beneath him to clean toilets. Like you can tell he has had domestic workers clean his toilets his entire life. He goes on to say, "da they. treat us like dogs da, we have to clean toilets"

People still iron their clothes

Ironing clothes is the most ridiculous exercise. You waste energy and time for what? “To look presentable “ ! That’s a conspiracy by the Big Iron. The clothes will get wrinkled in no time. It is a pointless exercise. How wrinkled my clothes are have nothing to do with how I am as a human.

Under communism we will not have to iron our clothes anymore

The worst customers are those who stay past closing time. Go. Home. And let me go home too!!!

Chat is it my responsibility to remind my employer to pay me on time

Did not get paid

I scrubbed a pot for 1 hour to get rid of burnt milk at the bottom. This was after soaking it in soapy water for an entire day.

I have made the decision to no longer be this cranky lifeless person. Imma push myself to do things I used to enjoy— like art and films and books. And I will also study. I will work to put the light back into my eyes

Yesterday our professor showed us this rendition of Hume's law: Facts do not entail values. Alll I could think about was Ben Shapiro's "Facts don't care about your feelings."

@juergen_hubert i am not sure tbh

I am in a funk that I am unable to snap out of

"Traditional communes are based on completely different principles of production from capitalism. The communes described by Maurer and Fraas were defined by strong internal social regulation, completely separate from the logic of commodity production found in capitalism. [...]
The communes didn’t suffer from low levels of production and poverty stemming from their “underdevelopment” and “ignorance.” Rather, at moments when they could have worked harder and longer and raised their levels of production, they simply chose not to. And they thus avoided creating the kinds of power dynamics that would evolve into domination and subservience." From Slow Down by Kohei Saito

Yeah idk how true or universal that is. The natural economies or communes in South Asia did not necessarily have the class dynamics inherent to capitalism, but they certainly had caste dynamics.

I don't think we should do something just because Marx said so. We should do something if it makes sense.

Kohei Saito, and maybe it gets better later, is doing a John Bellamy Foster and treating Marx like a prophet in this book.

I am so grumpy these days.

How would you react if a person dead ass said to you — astrology is based on quantum physics? It happened to me today, my brain broke and I walked away.
