So, I just read 2 paragraphs of theory and it’s got me wondering: is collecting Hot Wheels cars antithetical to Marxism?

It would seem that, after my reading, while saving my money ultimately removes all humanity from myself, spending my money (especially in such a manipulative and exclusivity-focused market) is also enabling the very worst of the capitalist forces I aim to stand against.

How do I win? Also: Vroooooooooooom

    Oh, no worry! I understood it was just jokin’ around. Thanks for all that info though. I’ll have to check out the website on my desktop. I thought I’d mention though, I use an app call Voyager on iOS, and I’m able to see all the cool emotes. Or at least, some appear. Like the ones you used in your comments, I could see them.

    I also find the camaraderie really heartwarming. I’ve considered my slide left to be a humiliation fetish because of how much push back I receive in nearly every facet of my life. Even here (lemmy in general) I get called a tankie for defending Palestine lmao. It’s just refreshing to find a place where people are as pissed off as I am. ❤️

      I feel like everyone here makes the move to the left simply due to how terrible the right and centre act. I have a billion stories on liberals in my life acting like sociopaths and I’m sure you do too.

      The Palestine issue has gotta be the number one shame of the West right now. To be a Westerner and not actively doing something about Gaza has real middle class 1939 German living my life vibes.
