Any comrades from Utah here?

How do we fix this beyond fucked up state?

The LDS church runs everything here. Nearly every single little detail of the state’s culture is dictated by Mormonism. Mormon temples are the largest buildings in every city and town. Mormon bookstores are more numerous than most other stores, and old school soda shops are more numerous than cafes (Mormons prohibit coffee and tea but allow caffeinated soda for some reason). Multiple buildings, streets, and businesses are named after Mormon things (e.g. “Cumorrah Avenue”). Multi-level marketing companies are everywhere and sponsor things like stadiums (MLM companies are littered with Mormon moms).

The LDS church is basically run like a massive corporation. They are very good at missionizing and making new converts, plus Mormons tend to get married young and have bucketloads of kids. The average Mormon family has between 4-7 children. The point is, the LDS church is highly reactionary and rules over Utah with an iron fist, yet there is almost no internal resistance to it. “Utah” basically is the LDS church. And that’s not even mentioning the entire settler-colonial history of the church either, the mass slaughter of the indigenous that Mormons participated in to create the state of Utah and such.

With that said, how do we deal with this state’s politics if we are socialists living in it? There’s no way someone like AOC or Mamdani or any DSA candidate could ever win here. If there was ever a socialist candidate, they’d either have to ensure the Utah public that they’re a “good Mormon” (which would mean throwing away their principles and participating in a reactionary, settler-colonial theology) or seek to dismantle Utah culture outright by going against the grip of the LDS church, which would be political suicide.

I’m sorry, but I wish this fucking state didn’t exist. Trying to organize anything leftist here feels like a lost cause.

Next time a Finn starts bragging about how they 'won' the Winter War ask how giving up 11% of your country's landmass to your attacker constitutes a victory. The seething is hilarious.

It's even more hilarious when you mention the billions -adjusted for inflation- they needed to pay to the USSR after WW2 for reparations.
I dislike Russia as much as anybody else.

I just dislike the Finns even more. I've never met one that wasn't completely insufferable.

My ideal world involves every Finn and Russian killing each other.

I get it, the Finns have low standards for what the word victory means. No need to sell me on why they're such a shitty country!

Not many hetero couples are meeting these days, with all the simping modern men do hoeflation is the highest it's ever been, along with the proliferation of OF and online prostitution, women know their 'value' and set their prices accordingly sky high; don't settle for anything less than tall, handsome Chads. It doesn't help that women are on average egotistical and self-absorbed. In my life I've rarely seen men as drunk on their own fumes as women are. Not just in the flesh 'market', but also in careers and general life decisions. They think, behave and speak like they internalized this idea that they will get what they want, everything will be delivered to them, it's all promised to them, and they *deserve* it and are never unqualified or unworthy of the reward, whatever it may be. I've never seen a blatantly incompetent hoe saying she's not cut out for an IT or software engineering job, they always have this preconception that it doesn't really matter and they'll make it, and at this turn the discourse almost always defaults to a story about some Stacy friend who made it at some workplace. On the other side of the dividing line, I've seen countless dudes, who despite being hardworking overachievers, taking digs at themselves nonstop, fully believing that they need to get better, and never reaching a state of full confidence in their competencies. There is a near complete absence of the hubris I see in women here, though there's a few men who 'game' the system and cut through with fake results till they make it, but even those are cut above women since, inspite of their penchant to lie, have the ability to substantiate their lies and carve their path instead of being fully expectant of their success being served to them on a silver platter.

This overconfidence women have naturally encompasses their outlook to dating. They are narcissistic, always demand, expect and believe they deserve the best, refuse to concede or settle, and carry themselves with unwarranted self importance. They're basically boomer landlords (if she roastie).

Why is there no communist equivalent of potent media propaganda?

why are older men and middle aged guys often sought out anyways? as a woman at birth i never understood why most girls online my generation (who are still very young) often talk about them like they’re beings gifted from the gods. most middle aged to older men i talked to for sex or romance either crept me out, infantilized me like im still a child when im legally an adult (still got a free pass though cause im legally not a minor), are forceful, objectifiers, displays predatory behavior or don’t know boundaries nor how do they work at all whatsoever

college is too fucking expensive. red state country club family and i still cant go. currently weighing my options to decide between debt or potential death.

How would a stateless, classless and moneyless society benefit incels? The 2 most popular copes are porn and prostitutes, but in a society where one doesn't need money, what's the incentive for women to make porn or become prostitutes? They can obtain all the sex they want for free anyway, and they're certainly not going to show themselves off to incels. So how would incels cope under socialism or communism?

Yes, they banned me and deleted my thread simply for pointing out, that we already had 2.5 million years of actual communism in the marxist sense. We don't know what Karl Marx would had said about the Sovjet Union or contemporary China. But we know for sure, what he thought about the stone age. This led me to the conclusion, that you can be a marxist and be an primitivist at the same time. There is no contradiction between primitivism and marxist theory. Reading the works of Ted Kaszynski from a marxist perspective makes totally sense, but only if you reject the idea of growthism.
So what would a marxist-primitivist program look like? There is only one true way: Global nuclear armageddon. Yes. This will destroy technology, knowledge and 99.9% of the world population. Push the reset button. We had 2.5 million years of actual communism. Then came technological "progress" and economic growth, which wasn't a progressive force, but actually a reactionary force, because it dismantled (Primitive-)Communism! Growthism is actually reactionary and anti-communist. Communism was betrayed 4000 years ago, when humanity left the stoneage.
