That would be interesting. I imagine that if humans respawned after death it would feel like being knocked out with some people having amnesia or dreams between, unless it was so instant that there would be no experience between.

I see what you mean. I guess I've experienced similar while blacking out or being knocked out and not remembering so this helps to understand it.

I am wondering what it is like to be a ghost or to experience reality without a physical body like the people who have died or live in haunted houses. Some people describe it as relaxing and other people say it's scary or unfulfilling if they did not accomplish things they wanted. If you guys have ever died or are currently dead, what is your experience?

I'm not a sub, and I don't even know why you tagged me in this sub/dom BDSM thread.

I recently made a post about this topic but it caused a lot of controversy. I did not specify and used the broad term of sex work which probably made the interpretations so varied. For the purposes of this conversation, I want to focus on work that is consensual because obviously human trafficking or coercive sex is inherently wrong and exploitative. Some people even said that sex work is not valid labor which I personally found strange. I'm personally not a fanboy of the sex industry at all, but most people involved would say that the illegality of it exacerbates the bad situation that they find themselves in, and I cannot personally find a reason to be going against what the people involved are saying. And yeah it probably wouldn't exist under socialism but at the same time, I think it is a huge mistake to go in with an iron fist and just say "I'm going to make everyone stop sex work right this instant because it's not socialist" because this does not treat the underlying causes of it, which will only make it spring back up anyway.

And I'm not just expecting one type of answer but if I am making an error in applying dialectical materialism or Marxism-Leninism please let me know.

No need to link anything specific, but what are your favorite torrents for entertainment? Music, Tv Shows, Movies, Games, etc.?

The Black Panther Party was able to defend their community until the criminal, terrorist American police went and murdered them all. While the masses might not need a new Panther group exactly, what organizations can be founded that would be able to fulfill the capacity of providing social support and resources to the masses? Whether it is a labor union, a political party, I don't care if it's a knitting club that patrols the streets as long as it gives us someone else to call besides the pigs.

And how large does it need to be before it is viable to defend people from the pigs?

I have noticed a huge difference between Lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml in terms of what kinds of theory gets upvoted and downvoted. What is the general vibe on here towards actually existing socialism as well as the ideas towards reformism?
