What are your favorite Christmas movies?
Mine is Se7en because it's about a young couple who travel to the big city while expecting a child and the story culminates in the giving of a religiously motivated gift.
Also, Die Hard with a Vengeance

Why haven't Intel and AMD caught up with Apple Silicon yet?
Is ARM the only way to get there? And if so, why isn't Microsoft pushing for Windows on ARM? Are they too busy working on Copilot?

What are some arguments that can humanise Stalin (or the USSR) without requiring length proofs or research papers?
Something to make people think about it while they try to solve the cognitive dissonance, or to Atleast make them view it more than a simple totalitarian state where everything was bad and even the grass was white

Why do Marx and Lenin disregard the lumpenproletariat?
I have not read every document the two wrote regarding the subject, so I may be misunderstanding; but the ProleWiki makes it sound like Marx and Lenin--and therefore Marxist-Leninists would--disregard the revolutionary potential of the lumpenproletariat. It seems like sex workers and homeless folks and disabled people are all spat on by the bourgeoisie and would be glad to help take them down? I'm disabled and mostly unable to work (I do work a little, but not even enough to be part-time) and I consider myself an ML. ... read full post

Would it be accurate to say there is no such thing as small government under capitalism, or is that silly?
From what I can gather, when capitalist democracies cut government departments, they just end up outsourced to private companies who reap whatever infrastructure was there and replace it with their own, cheap and barely functioning version for profit.
So basically the government service is still there, it's just privatised and crappier.

Help, my (ML) brother is a Trotzkyist! How can we still connect over politics?
I made the title sound like a joke, so feel free to laugh, but it's actually serious and very personal. The question how to deal with conservative family members comes up a lot around the holidays. My case seems like a first-world problem in comparison. I mean, we share the same opinion for almost every immediate real world political issue that comes up. ... read full post

How Should I Deal With This Jury Duty Situation? And Other Related Questions
I have jury duty this week. Maybe. it looks like I will have to go in, but don't know if I'll get selected. But my aim is to try to get on, and if I can then probably do the Null-word without ever saying the Null-word. I do have a few questions for anyone who might know about this stuff. This is in the US. ... read full post

How to survive under Capitalism as a Socialist?
Recently I have tried to do this "touching grass" thing, again, and it's difficult. Any fleeting joy of participating in this thing we call society, the moment I notice a homeless person struggling, it just evaporates. How can I enjoy participating in social events when most of them involve exchange of goods that could have been used for the purposes of helping those in need? ... read full post

Why are anarchist mutual aid groups always like this?
I literally just got fucking scolded and told I have some "accountability for my behavior" or whatever because I replied to someone who was insulting me, defaming my character, and lying about me with "Fuck you, you lying piece of shit." This isn't the first time this has happened, and it's always in these anarchist/"radical" mutual aid groups. I was flabbergasted. It was like I was on some other planet. ... read full post

Why do we need borders?
What's the liberal reasoning for why we should have borders at all? I understand having some "soft" boundaries so people can, say, choose to live in Illinois instead of Nebraska and have different tax structures or road rules, but "hard" borders don't really make sense to me. ... read full post

What's the best way to lie on a resume in order to cover up a longer employment gap?
For context, I've been out of work for over two years now. First, I got laid off (which was effective immediately), then my dad had a medical emergency two weeks later and ended up passing away. Then my grandfather died four months later. Two months later, my spouse caught COVID from our kid, ended up going to the hospital multiple times over the next month, and was semi-bedbound for almost a year from long COVID. I was their caregiver during that time, and my spouse ended up more or less making a full recovery, thank fuck. ... read full post
