Ever since the us2024 election where plenty of these "USA hating" white communists banded together to not vote and use their privilege in a way that would make sense for their place and thoughts in society being so "uniquely countercultural" and brag about it it's been so easy for me to see just how so many people go about expressing their "Communism". It's not that, but rather when a white person living in the U.S does these kinds of things and follows these things they aren't reading theory but rather just trying to seem like they have broken out of the political mold, just by way of living. It's aesthetics, and things that would benefit those actually affected by our next political leader don't fit into that, according to their notions. (Surprise, it's mostly people of color this affects they have no empathy for!)
Yet these people barley read basic Marxism and understand that putting your fellow working class against each other like this new leader would do gets us closer to the impending idea of imperialism, which karl himself spoke about capitalism eventually devolving into, I believe.
For a lot of modern white "communists" reading black theory is too much work compared to just putting on a façade and saying "Of course I've read theory, I'm a communist." And then not following basic principal. But no, truly. You're really unique for the way you used your right to vote. You're really special.. you're so countercultural. I promiseee..

Anyways, if you're a white communist, self proclaimed, there's only so far you can go without including black theory before you're just avoiding it. And therefore racist at baseline, or just generally not actually following through with understanding those in the working class around you. There is truly only so far you can go without it turning into avoidance. Why would you not value the insight of the black people who face anti-blackness, American or not (Because anti-blackness isn't just an American concept, same as Capitialism itself. Shocker.) when they are so heavily affected by the top 1%'s imposed oppression. This election was run and won based off of ignorance. Ignorance that we are diving deeper and deeper into with the cut to the educational department, because our candidates have figured out if people are stupider, less educated, for course it's easy to win more votes. For trump, an uneducated america is an easy one to get him back into office time and time again.

Some of you literally have being American dysphoria and will carry it out in a way that harms, not helps..

Hello! Ended the day off nicely today. I've been looking into getting a psp or ps vita for myself. I went to a retro games store after I took one of my night walks since the place stays open late. They had a lot of stuff, even original japanese releases and magazines. They had a hajime no ippo play station game copy in Japanese, but it was an original version so it wasn't cheap. They didn't have psps, etc, just some games for those consoles, but the guy I spoke to said they'll get some PSPs soon, however, He said they're on the rise popularity wise. They had some gachapon stuff. DS games for 5$. I thought.. why the hell not, and got two games. I got chima (like the Lego series) and an ispy game. Fun.
Also, my walk was good. I was very cold, as it has been outside recently. I lifted today too, mostly arms, nothing too serious or straining though. Besides that I was studying like crazy.

The store had a credit / cash system for people who brought in consoles or games. I'll totally return to give them my switch. What a waste of money as a console. Its definitely not for me. I haven't used it since they dropped the online payment feature with that family plan and that bullshit. The last good game they released for that piece of shit was probably Splatoon.
