How do you apply DiaMat in your daily life?
  • I have found it really useful for helping resolve interpersonal conflict, such as with partners or friends or so on. Also I think it would be useful to help with internal conflicts as well. Dialectical behavioural therapy is a type of psychotherapy for example that is supposedly very effective for personality vulnerabilities, although this might not be materialist specifically. I'm not knowledgeable on the topic but it's quite interesting.

  • Fucking lemmy libs

    I don't know how but somehow it feels like lemmy is even more full of arrogant, moronic libs than reddit. Such a bloodthirsty, warmongering pack of Western chauvinists. I can't even stand being anywhere but lemmygrad now. I seriously fucking hate these people.

  • IMO this article is kind of misrepresenting what this story is actually about for the purposes of fitting it into the global "China bad" narrative. It's a domestic political issue about corruption of state level politics, really not anything of interest to a global audience. There was clearly a wide range of aspects to the corruption but the most significant aspect was pork barrelling and misallocation of government grants. None of the domestic reporting in Australia is telling this as a "China bad" story, despite the fact that Australian media absolutely loves telling "China bad" stories. That should tell you something I think.

  • Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip?
  • i hope i can avoid ever having to come to the US.

  • Can you be precise please? what exactly is this "lgbtq lobby"? what is their "agenda"? What founding principles of civilization are being held in disdain? Are you referring to the patriarchal gender roles which confines women to the home and being baby factories? That seeks to remove they're reproductive rights and bodily autonomy? Or the idea that there is only two correct expressions of gender identity and anything falling outside of this binary is somehow degenerate? Why don't you speak frankly, what are you referring to specifically?

  • What did you do this weekend?

  • What did you do this weekend?
  • ReactOS has been in the pipeline for a long time I believe. Have they made much breakthroughs recently? Would be legitimately awesome if they got it to be usable, kinda have my doubts about its viability as a true windows alternative though tbh, as awesome as it would be.

  • posting 'tankie' is the new 'woke' slur on a lemmy instance..
  • oh dear. I told myself i wouldn't engage. (narrator: but he engaged). Just trying to gently nudge an anarchist towards materialist analysis, i'll try resist getting sucked into any arguments for my own sake.

  • "The question always comes down to how do we stop people from being bad." This is the problem with not having a materialist analysis of the world, its not about being bad or being good or morality at all. At large people are motivated by self interest, perpetuating and sustaining their material conditions. Its only through struggle of the oppressed against those in power that change can come about.

  • omg i just had the misfortune of wandering into this thread, https://lemmygrad.ml/post/806853 i am so glad we have our own space where we can safely laugh at these fools. omg.

  • posting 'tankie' is the new 'woke' slur on a lemmy instance..
  • Yugopnik I think from memory. He was saying how libs can't say "commie" because its such a dated word and nobody takes it seriously (except some conservatives who still say it unironically which is actually hilarious😂). It's too much associated with redscare era propaganda. Tankie doesn't carry this baggage but has exactly the same function.

  • "Russia, China block move for new Antarctic marine reserves" - anyone know background on this?
  • I'd be very interested in your report if you find anything comrade.

  • "Russia, China block move for new Antarctic marine reserves" - anyone know background on this?
  • hugely appreciative of this effortpost comrade. that's pretty interesting the thing about China not being able to contribute to policing of the rule and as such not wanting to entrust this entirely to the west. while I always want to learn two sides to the story and err on the side of trusting China over the west, I guess it doesn't always mean everything they do is defensible or the "morally correct" path as well. I'm not so dogmatic that I will refuse to acknowledge China doing something I disagree with even if I support China on the whole. Not saying that's necessarily the case in this situation though, its too hard to say without more information available.

    The areas are home to penguins, seals, toothfish, whales and huge numbers of krill – a staple food for many species. Read more at straitstimes.com.

    Russia, China block move for new Antarctic marine reserves

    As usual no reasoning was provided as to why Russia and China might block such a motion, the implication being that its because they're evil, hate nature and cute animals, and want to destroy the environment. I'm sure there must be sensible reasons why Russia and China don't want these reserves. Are they proposed for areas which China/Russia have interest in in Antarctica which would limit their operations? What do they do down there anyway? Is the Antarctic a useful surveillance/espionage outpost? Are there nuclear weapons in Antarctica? I have no idea, I'd love if anyone can educate me a bit on Antarctic geopolitics.
