I’ll start, I missed the outdoor cats struggle session so i don’t know what its deal was except a vague idea that outdoor cats were bad, so I’ve let my two cats stay being outdoor cats because I feel bad locking them inside, like I want to give them some experience of freedom to go where they please so they can live more fulfilling lives

Edit: also kruschev is imo a lot better than most hexbear users give him credit for

    I hate the quote “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.” I am positive I can demolish his house with his killdozer.

    EDIT: I’m pretty sure I got yelled at the last time I posted this lol.

      It’s because you are just poking at the metaphor without engaging with the actual idea.

      The master’s “tools” are methods of subjugation that are incompatible with liberation.

      Saying that you are going to just use the master’s killdozer to destroy the house is the same argumentative approach as liberals who see that comic of people standing on boxes to look over a fence and responding “they shouldn’t be allowed to see the game without a ticket anyway”.

      Isn’t that exactly what Marxism is? Dialectics and the contradiction of capitalism that the proletariat are the ones who can perform material action upon reality but the social relation of bourgeois ownership of the MOP alienates the proletariat from doing that in earnest (revolution)
