This is my 1000th comment on Lemmy and I think it's a good time to take a look back. It's already been 2.5 years, and although I haven't participated much, I feel I have started to learn a lot and grow politically thanks to Lemmygrad, Hexbear more recently, and a few comrades on lemmy.ml and other instances (even the occasional .world). 2 years ago I was very much a lib. Now I sometimes take the time to read through articles, made a list of books to read and bought a few, to my family and I. To reflect, time passes too quickly and I haven't read the tiny Engels book on my night stand. I'm lucky enough to not have a physically demanding job but at the end of the day I'm still exhausted and drained. I wish others in my branch could realize we are very much exploited, even though it is at different degrees. Another bothering point is that even the leftist of my friends has a hard time challenging the non stop propaganda we are fed, and it's depressing
This comment was a mess. Thank you Lemmygrad, keep it up, and for those who have the energy to explain basic things to liberals: yes, it matters
Unrelated to the question but this makes me think the US is so cooked for not having trainlines. I haven't flown for years and glad I haven't
