That’s your bar? Stop hitting me? That’s like battered person syndrome or something.
I want Equity. It’s a revolution so wild that Mao would be uncomfortable or I’d rather continue to accelerate.
All you are asking for is less abuse. I’m cool. Kill me or take me (back) to prison. I’m not interested in being exploited.
Except dems still have a ton of power that they are loudly choosing not to use.
They just all gave speeches in support of raising the military budget etc.
They are CHOOSING not to call out the gross corruption and kickbacks the trump family at al. are taking part in. Because they do it too.
This place is a framework for capitalists. It is feudalism with extra steps.
I STILL refuse to “vote” for the lesser evil. I would much rather stand and die for something that is actually good and progress. I will stand by and watch this country devolve into a hot civil war rather than participate in genocide, economic sanctions or any of that shit.
The only premise involving this country that I am interested in discussing is the installation of a new operating system. The current one is fatally flawed.
Blaming outside actors is frankly hilarious. The US is responsible for their own actions and more than a bit responsible for the actions of countries like Russia. Russia and Israel are babies aping their dad. Literally late stage capitalism. Doing the same shit the US does just heavy handed.
Nah some 15 year old will crack the security on them.
Or fitgirl.
Yes moving from smoking to vaping is absolutely “quitting smoking”.
I am a former smoker and current vaper and it’s laughable that this is even a talking point. It’s not even close to as bad for you. Night and day the difference in how well I can breathe.
Why gatekeep and look for perfection? What kind of fool argues for that?
Take this idf astroturfing back to Reddit.
Israel is the greatest evil on this planet and it isn’t close. No bridge is too far in eliminating them.
lol.
When and why was hezbollah founded?
lol.
Are you ready to shoot over it? Because ain’t nobody saving us but us.
They are just as bad. Or more accurately they are the same thing. They are both classical liberals and a classic liberal democracy is not viable. Capitalists with free reign.
Given the power of data aggregation, modeling, think tanks and llm human voters are a solved puzzle. At this point they are just testing the models.
“Says here we can do x and that will only move 3% of the electorate”. “REALLY!!” “Yep”.
The whole thing has to burn and we need some ground up reconstruction of our political system. Otherwise it’s just a dystopian cyberpunk future.
“No the people are not concerned with morality, only that they are hampered in their pursuit of money.” Says Israel-bot spokesperson. “They just want to get ahead”.
The money that is “in” the stock market is the stolen excess capital. There is nothing else to do with it except “invest” it. They can take it out or put it in. That’s it.
Legally they must act in a fiduciary manner. They have to be “rational” lol. Better to just follow the herd than sustain losses that are way out of line, there’s real risk there, of their own money.
But really it’s just because there isn’t anything else to do with it.
I think you are victim blaming Iran.
Iran was traumatized by the western capitalists. Their response was a theocracy because that was the only way to cope. I can’t think of any other way to avoid the wests machinations. Democracy is a joke with capitalism.
Fuck that yes it is.
Have you read the Old Testament?
No thanks.
The US did this. This began in like 1908. Trump wasn’t even born yet. The USA is an evil empire and needs to be ripped out root and branch. Capitalism has to go.
None of this will be fixed without a revolution so bloody Mao would be uncomfortable and the glassing of Israel.
And of those how many simply didn’t agree to the conditions your program required? Curfew, drug testing, work requirements, no company(perhaps)?
Why? The Chinese are in no way my enemy.
Russia was never relevant. The USSR failed.
It was empire
Then feudalism
Then the advent of the ruling of the mercantile class.
Next will be rule by the people.
lol so what? You can convert it directly to horsepower. All energy is the same. It’s Hess law and work.
I would argue that it isn’t necessarily social media, it’s the internalization of the male defined culture.
This topic is male centric.
The truth is that those boys(and most men) are insecure. I’m a 46 year old man I’ll tell you without a doubt that this stems completely from insecurity.
But so what? Women control the only thing that men want. I promise that women actually have all the power so long as violence and rape isn’t normalized. If women stopped engaging those boys would be on their knees.
All that matters to me, all that matters to the vast majority of men, is sex. Everything we do is a complication of getting sex and controlling women. I have a good job and a nice car and I cook and I work out and blah blah blah to display value to get women.
That’s all we are for, is to add some randomization to the gene pool.
Honestly a valid concern but it’s a cultural problem.
We don’t live gracefully and we don’t die gracefully. Why are they living so long? For what?
Well, in my observation/opinion it is because all of their prime years were stolen(tricked/finagled) from them.
“Hey let me get most of that” is a wild proposition. Not just most but the significant majority. Let me get 5/7 of that? That’s the ask under our current system. 5 out of 7 days laboring for someone else. You get two for haircuts, laundry, connecting with your kids etc. etc. etc. so basically all of your time from 20 to 65 or whatever “retirement” age is now.
Im gonna tell you right now I am 46 and my best years are behind me. By the time I am 65…. Lmao.
Don’t get me wrong, I lift, have abs, beautiful SO, kids…. Nevertheless years were blown on someone else shit. I’m not doing that. Anyway I digress. My point is that I am very fortunate and have eschewed the grind mentality. I’d rather live it up and die at 68 living humble than go to 85 while my body falls into ruin.
It’s really changed my outlook on healthcare too. Why are we keeping an 80 year old alive with hospital stays every 4 months? That’s insane. Chained to an oxygen tank. Terrified of death living in regret and disappointment. Nothing you know even applies anymore. Can’t even work the tv. It’s crazy. Im good off all that.
Just live and go when it’s our time. That’s my plan.
