Gonna make an account on Reddit soon. Any good advice or browser extensions I can use?
I only have Ublock Origin as a browser extension, and I need some advice on how to prepare myself for the insufferableness that lies ahead. I'm mainly making an account to post memes related to my favorite works of fiction.

How does lgbtq+ support as well as other progressive ways of thought co-exist in religious people while their religious text proclaim it as a sin?
I have seen these seemingly contradictory views particularly from Muslim comrades. However, this is not limited to them.
This post is a genuine question not a rant, so please treat it as such.

How do you not despair?
Of all the things going on in world and also locally, from housing crises, economic instability, climate crisis etc.
How does one not fall into nihilism and just general despair? Are texts out there that teach and talk about how to hold grit and optimism in times like these?
TL;DR Help I don't want to be a doomer :(

How should I approach escaping/draft dodging Ukraine?
Long story short - I have slightly more than a year left before I'm legally required to serve in the Ukrainian military, not that it matters that much since they grab people off the streets anyway, but it will be an even bigger problem since I will officially have no "excuse" not to serve and will have to hide or escape before then, and it doesn't look like the war will end for the next god knows how many years. ... read full post

What makes our debunking of Atrocity Propaganda narratives different from "denialism?
I'm asking this question because I used to frequently browse RationalWiki, (A Neoliberal Skeptic website that frequently calls ML's debunkings of Atrocity Propaganda "denialism" and "apologia", and conflates said debunkings with Holocaust denial), and would like some clarification on this point.

What's the ML perspective on Uyghurs?
My partner is Lebanese and one issue that has consistently come up with any discussion of Marxism (and honestly the online left as a whole) is Uyghur genocide denial. Essentially, they see it as proof of (white) western leftists being hypocrites and having a glaring Islamophobia problem. I'm inclined to defer to them, but at the same time, I've found myself often politically aligning with MLs on other issues, and I know very little about Chinese internal politics or the Uyghurs myself, so I would greatly appreciate being able to get an understanding of what the ML perspective is. ... read full post

Thoughts on Kim Yo Jong?
Was talking to my dad about North Korea randomly and he mentioned Kim Yo Jong. He mentioned that he thought that she seems a much more ruthless and confident leader than Kim Yong Un and had thoughts that maybe she is running things behind the curtains.
I don't know anything about her and don't know that much about the DPRK to fully know so I'm asking here.
