also in the dark. it is genuinely good advice even if they give it abusively to dismiss real issues.

Stop being the victim! (or I will disown you. again.)

uh huh. I think the value of stuff should go to the people who made it, who can, individually or as (a) group(s) maintain their own fucking tools. or towards a broader project of building a society. I don’t think concentrating wealth or some edgelord bullshit about greed being good are sustainable healthy or sane ways to structure distribution of resources in a society.

because capitalism needs to function like cancer. shit’s built on old imperialist logics, where you must always be claiming more. red queen’s race bullshit. or cancer; pick your metaphor.

it must be profitable because while productivity increases, due to imperial conquest and advancing technology, the profits of the owning classes (remember; this is the literal definition of capitalism-value being produced by owners rather than workers. yes it’s insane, they are insane, this system is insane.) must also increase.

the fact the working class have no more to squeeze from just means we get closer and closer to slaves, which is maybe intentional, maybe just a cool bonus for them.

there’s a cool poem that explains it. check out part 2 https://poets.org/poem/howl-parts-i-ii

no, and they’re eager to, but I think if they ever tried to not, things would go badly. that’s bad for the market and drives down everyone elses profits. there would be a lot of solidarity against them by the class of people that own the police.

capitalism is the idea that value comes from ownership, rather than labor. landlording is just the purest expression of capitalism.

can you prove any of that though? like, how are you sure he’s alive? and how do you know you aren’t him?

there are ways other than capitalism to support people who do stuff, but im guessing most of these people wouldn’t support you in those ways either, and it’s just a hierarchy issue.

no but see it’s about hierarchy. the factory farm is bigger than me, and so I must serve it and obey on its terms. the local farm is just a person. I bet I could take them in a fight. therefore they should serve me and all interactions should be on my terms.

I wouldn’t know; I’ve never been invited to one.

maybe you should get on fucking board then. why didn’t you vote for delacruz? she would have been electable if you had voted for her. maybe you should do some penance, in the form of joining your local DSA chapter or starting a mutual aid group?

edit: oh shit, two down no up. was this never actually about teamwork and fighting fascism?

mood. but what about making sure you aren’t the most racist man alive? how do you know? how can a system have full knowledge of itself? how does the observer observe, in this case, himself? what even IS knowledge?

fun fact: hitler said that you should read not to learn what the author intended, but to confirm what you would like to believe, only ever seeking evidence to confirm views you already hold.

in school? no; that would be communism. my teachers would have been crucified.

it’s equal parts frustrating and satisfying. a lifetime of cassandra, and no recognition when I finally get to scream “I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO!” at the top of my lungs about everything, because still nobody wants to fix it and I’ve got nothing better to do.

read what I said. read what I actually said, please. stop replying to some imagined figure. go back and read what I said.

and he’s super high profile, has committed tons of crimes. why hasn’t ICE deported his ass?

I mean, I know why, but it would be a fun thing to ask on, like, CNN or something.

yeah but he’s from south africa before his guys lost the war.

which are both woke.

I’d argue you need a little more, but those things are also woke. the only thing that WOULDN’T be woke would be requiring all the internal wiring be done by children, who yearn for the mines server racks

this is why nobody fucking likes liberals; you’d rather shit on the people you say are your allies, whose aid and support of YOUR plans at any cost and never benefit to them is your right bestowed upon you by god and his prophet, ludwig von mises, than raise a god damn finger, even on your keyboard, to stop the literal nazis gutting all your precious institutions.

the election is over. if you genuinely want to make things better; move the fuck on, and join a filthy commie or a damned anarchist in one of our projects. or you can just keep telling us its our fault and the fascists aren’t at all to blame.
