  • Read “The State and Revolution” and then find your local socialist organization to help build mutual aid and alternative infrastructure so we can create a dual-power struggle to replace the gerrymandered rigged cheating bullshit system where your phone calls and letters are ignored. The next time they throw a No Kings parade, instead of marching in a circle and then going home, go talk to one of the organizations with a booth or table set up. If there’s not organizing in your town, then they’re in the nearest big city to you.







  • Would you be willing to share the studies with infants you’re referring to? I do see search results online for infants and the development of empathy, but I’m open to reading specific studies you might have as a recommendation. I’ve always heard (from other Americans) that infants are born without empathy and normally learn it very early as part of their development. “Infants are basically narcissists” was something I remember one particularly narcissistic person I used to know would repeatedly insist on. I would love to know that the people who told me that were wrong.


  • From what I’ve experienced here, it’s just ego and not being able to handle hearing that another country might be better at something than America. I don’t know that the burning of the original president’s house is even that widely known here, and what few times I’ve ever heard it brought up, I’ve never seen anyone get upset or treat it as anything other than a random bit of history trivia from a long time ago. But I’ve watched right-wing Americans get very defensive around the topic of Canadian healthcare my whole life. “That’s communism, it doesn’t work, did you know that Canadians pay half their salary in taxes and whatever other made up bullshit about Canada that Fox News told me.” Narcissists don’t like hearing that someone else is better at something than them and would rather start attacking than defending their position.
