I sent you this in a DM after the previous thread got locked, I'm not sure if you saw it or not.

I was curious and dug this up. I haven't read it yet, but here you go. I'll read it now too.
Yeah I haven't actually paid that much attention to their new titles. I see that they are publishing it and it doesn't matter how good it looks I just don't.
I think I would still enjoy some their newer titles.
I just don't think I would enjoy them enough to deal with the predatory behavior from the publisher.
I don't support Harris, but I will vote for her because Trump winning will only make things worse. And accelerate the climate catastrophe, which will hurt everyone who lives here, animals and plants too.
As far as how I will get the US to stop funding Israel... I won't. It's a bigger problem then myself.
But, organizing outside of the election cycle is the way to do it. Protests, strikes, not paying our taxes. Those are the ways to change things.
A third party protest vote won't change anything. It will just get your candidate and those who voted for them blamed for spoiling a two party election and putting Trump in office.
P.S. The framing of your question sucks btw. For reasons I pointed out above (I don't support Harris, and I don't propose that I can do anything personally to stop the genocide outside of organizing with others. And, if Trump is elected, the genocide will accelerate and likely spread to other middle eastern countries, and everyone will be suffering greatly by 2075 due to climate change).
The community is the main selling point for me. Further left than reddit. Fewer bots and recycled bot posts. Generally less defensive and aggressive posters, though the US election has made things a bit more contentious, I'm sure it's still better than reddit on this.
I use the Tibetan Book of the Dead as a guide. For faces at the slip gates (i.e. the dweller on the threshold), recognize that they're nothing other than your own mind. Bless them with love and compassion, and then let them go to continue on your quest.

Then I everything else for free.
Gold? I don't think any life uses it for sustenance outside of technological and sociological applications.
I tend to think of most people as being alienated by capitalism because of their jobs. Endlessly fed propaganda and given treats to keep them placated and docile.
We're animals after all. So I don't think of them as shitty people but I instead look for compassion.
That said, unless I'm working for a small business owner I tend to absolutely feel alienated at work and it's crushing. I also have health issues that make work difficult so my relationship with it is extra alienating I suppose.
I guess what I'm trying to tell you is look at your boss as maybe the source of that feeling rather than your fellow working-class people.
Edit: I also live in a working class city, with strong socialist roots. So my view is pretty biased I suppose. In the sense that I'm not living in the middle of a conservative place surrounded by people with vastly different views than myself.
