I’d still go. I’d find it macabre and funny, it wouldn’t make me anxious. Private plane!

Humans like to believe a lot of stupid stuff without evidence, and feel like it becomes more true the more other people believe in the same stupid stuff.

Don’t give him that much credit, He was a lt colonel in the imperial navy at best.

But Im something of a rebel myself so…

Why would non Israeli Jews have to denounce the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians?

The conductor was Israeli.

Republican Fascists are the Neoliberals “esteemed opposition.”

The few leftists with power are spoiler candidates, because both parties only promote candidates on the basis of their ability to get bribe checks, and are the Neoliberals enemies.

If you want to see the Democrat party treat a President as a threat to the nation that must be resisted at every turn, just elect President AOC. They’re in a power sharing agreement with the Republicans.

As an American, I wish they won.

They outlawed slavery looong before we did.

Not like we have a left with any power to stop them.

Im sure the fascist light(D) party will have very furrowed brows though.

Oh so furrowed.

Just verification that they know their views are despicable at some level, even if they refuse to admit it to themselves.

Oh I think the capitalist “grown ups” as you say only concerned with quarterly GDP and their own individual hoards in charge are doing fine on their own. Don’t you?

They don’t need some idiot commie child as you say like me getting in the way of this great society’s trajectory. This bull is loose!

I lost, we leftists lost, and since the capitalists are destroying the very COMMUNal climate we rely on from one breath to the next, it’s too late for us to ever turn it around, as civilization hangs by a thread on the easy baby “just don’t shit where you sleep” climate mode we enjoyed and are eviscerating as we speak in the name of year over year metastasis.

What does winning feel like? Is it awesome? Do you feel victorious in your capitalist society?

(for me the main one are the tankie scum devs)

This right here is the crux of the problem and why the problem goes back so much further than the design and algorithms of platforms. We teach kids to focus on individual achievement, to celebrate the self, and we don’t teach empathy, something that needs to be taught young and can easily be taught but the west increasingly considers weakness and a dirty word.

When we fail to teach citizens of a society collectivism, because being a member of a society means you are part of a collective whether you decide to be a good collective that functions or one that operates against itself (herp derp competition!) that does not, you get communication between members like this.

“I hate these people fuck them they should me more like MEEEE” “their opinions suck because they aren’t more like MIIIINE” and we act as a bunch of petulant infants that resent each other’s very existence in OUR world.

If we were taught that it is our responsibility to lift one another up, if we rewarded people in society on the basis of who and how many others they’ve helped and not how much they hoarded for THEMSELVES, this wouldnt be as much of a problem. We could, now that we don’t have to survive in nature, orient our mindsets to the positive, which would have to be encouraged young. Instead we’re made to be like… This. A useful state for killing a rival in YOUR hunting area when there’s only enough game in the region for one tribe to survive the winter, not so much when trying to build a civilization up. And don’t get me started on the counterproductive mindfuck that is nation states and super serious imaginary lines between them, meant to protect hoards of INDIVIDUAL wealth of respective elites.

The problem is, how do you start such a virtuous cycle when everyone from the owners down are only concerned with “ME ME ME MINE MINE MINE?”

Then again you hate tankies, so go ahead and cuss me out for calling out the reality that capitalism, especially when it has effectively conquered the culture, turns people into selfish little gremlins more likely to shoot a stranger than help them.

The first wave was right. (equal legal rights)

The second wave had a good point. (reproductive rights and workplace discrimination)

The rest were just further attempted power grabs that don’t even make the people they claim to represent happy. They tried to do what well meaning but ultimately misguided anti racism waves did by claiming gender shouldn’t even be acknowledged aka “I don’t even see the color.” Which is it’s own kind of bigotry.

Everyone should be allowed to fill the same role, but while a minority might be ecstatic in the corpo grinder, it made society worse for men and women more generally, and I don’t see many women who enjoy being forced into the hunter gatherer role by the capitalists and the convenient femininists whose message they coopted to boost productivity by mandating ALL the poors make widgets for them if they want to subsist.

It hasn’t been productive to raise women to believe it is essential that they defy gender norms as if it is their mission in life to do so. More than anyone else, modern feminists have culturally demeaned the role of being a wife and mother in society, which is ironic, since they seem dead set on making women fit the mold of the men they see as their oppressor.

Men and women are different, with different strengths and weaknesses and intrinsic desires. With overlap, there are things that make men happier and things that make women happier generally. We should have equality, but we’ve been trying to shoehorn both genders to be interchangable in any societal role en masse, and it’s taken a massive toll on men and women in different ways.

Edit: Nevermind, everything is awesome, we did it!

Isn’t this like the quintessential Nazi skit to a T?

“He sot it vas funny. Iz it funny now? Vy aren’t you laffing?”

I mean, his voters will believe it.

They’d jump off the empire state building if the Administration told them it would pwn the libs.

“Dad why do you take pills?”

I have crippling neck pain.

“why?”

I’ll tell you when you’re older.

Good news, you’ll never have to feel the ick of an equitable economy or being part of a society that prioritizes the wellbeing of its citizenry over GDP here in the west.

Phew amirite? Enjoy capitalist paradise! Participation is voluntary*

*voluntary participation subject to dying in the gutter of exposure and capital defense force brutality if poor citizen fails to volunteer for capitalist exploitation. The owner class reserves all rights to kill you anyway if you threaten quarterly earnings estimates such as drawing on Healthcare benefits you paid into when you need to use them.

Nah.

We think we’re that powerful, but there’s an entire domain of creatures we can barely reach that utilize geothermal energy that will just keep plugging away out of our sphere of influence.

Surface and shallow water life is and will suffer greatly until we burn ourselves out and are no longer a threat on the scale we currently are, but humans are even egotistical in this topic. We couldn’t come close to sterilizing this world, even if it magically became as important to us as fucking one another over for paper simulacra of supposed value.

We are a nuisance, but we aren’t the first evolutionary nuisance the earth has dealt with. We have no mastery over this world as much as many like to believe so. A nuclear detonation possesses a tiny fraction of the power of a volcanic eruption.

Hitler deserved to be murdered before he offed himself.

If you agree with the above, all that’s being discussed is degree of horribleness.

I’m going to respectfully disagree with your edit.

Just to be clear, respectfully to you, not the dead corpo slumlord CEO lady.

If you want to believe me calling them the peak of capitalism by capitalism’s own inhuman metrics is a compliment, knock yourself out.

Are you kidding?

From the perspective of capitalists, Boeing is the fucking dream. They can innovate fuck not at all, they can bury inconvenient data AND the people who know it with impunity, and since they’re too big to fail in literally the cronyest capitalist industry on Earth, American War, the government not only won’t lift a finger, but will actively print money to give to them to let them keep doing all of the above in perpetuity.

Boeing is the capiteeliest of capitalist success stories. You didn’t think modern corporations actually believed their own propaganda about free markets deciding profit and success based on herp derp honest compertition? Thats just the bullshit they drive into kids minds when they can’t yet muster questions or concerns to ruin their lives and forge them into wage zombie husks. Capitalists want to win, preferably at the gunpoint of their captured governments, because actually prouducing products/services that people actually want is for suckers.
