Nothing Radicalizes Someone Faster Than Having To Steal Food
There's something deeply radicalizing about having to steal food, about getting caught stealing food and watching the food that you were trying to steal get thrown away right in front of you. More and more, as prices go up, I've found myself depending on the self-checkout finesse.
Right now, I don't have a means of really cooking food, living hotel room, so I rely a lot on the hot food items at the various gas stations. As well as cheap processed slop from the dollar generals, lots of noodles and sandwiches. Now, all these corner stores have self-checkouts now in order to lower labor costs and maximize profit for the shareholder class. So I'll walk in, and I'm still a law-abiding citizen, you know. I'm not walking in and just walking out with what I want. But I get a hot dog. I know that's gonna be the main food item I'm eating today. Well, I'm gonna grab a second hot dog. I might even grab a third, and I'm only gonna pay for one.
Tornadoes or egg rolls or pizza slices. It's the same thing. I'm gonna double up, pay for one. I'm gonna take another one for free. Y'all charging so much? Charging $3.99 a slice, a pizza, $3.49 for a hot dog. Can't afford to do it any other way.
But when you get up to the register, and mind you, The person working the register only making minimum wage too. She worried about her job, 'cause she don't want to be stealing food like you. And even though you making minimum wage, so shit, she probably do steal food too. But she gotta protect her job, and I've talked about this before, how being a wage slave forces you to act as a sort of police of other working-class people.
So she sees in the bag, I got three tornadoes instead of one. Off, jump, the onus is on her. She doesn't have to inspect how many hot dogs are in tornado box, how many roller grill items have been taken. She just has to watch me put one on the self-checkout. She says, Hey, look, I got to charge you for the other two in there. And you say, Oh, I'm only getting one. Don't know why I grabbed three like that. And so take the two out, and they get thrown away right in front of you. No one could buy them after you've touched them.
And I've worked at convenience stores, gas stations, places with roller grills, places with hot food boxes. The amount of food that gets thrown away after every shift, after every day, after every round of cooking, it's incredible. And a lot of the times, they pour bleach on that food. There's a sign on the dumpster that says, Not for human consumption.
And yeah, as I'm telling this story, and there's a sense that maybe I'm the glutton. Do you really need three tornadoes? Do you really need two pizza slices instead of just one? Do you really need a second hot dog? But you have to understand, that's the food for the day. That's the whole meal.
Rich people make it a big deal when they do intermittent fasting. Oh, I'm on one meal a day. OMAD! I try to start off with a salad for my appetizer, and then I'll move to my steak and eggs, and then we'll finish off with maybe a protein oats with 90% cocoa dark chocolate. Rich people love their one meal a day. But for poor people, that's just the day. That's just normal. They don't call it intermittent fasting when the only thing you're eating that day is two pizza slices out of the hot box, and they've probably been sitting there for two hours. Hard not to think about how much more available cheap, healthy food is in a place like China when you're living off the American diet of $3 meal deals between shifts.
But you got to go to work, and you need to eat. It's a deeply radicalizing experience to watch that food get thrown away right in front of you, to literally have the attendant take the food from you and put it in a trash can, knowing that no one was going to eat it, knowing that chances are it probably would have been thrown away at the end of shift anyway, and knowing that the executives who run corporations like 7-Eleven and Circle K are making hundreds of millions of dollars a year. How could you not be a socialist after experiencing something like that? I didn't need to take a college class to get here. I just had to survive in the modern American economy.
Why do fascists claim that the USA worship the African race? Theyโve killed the most third-worlders in history do fashies want 80 million instead of the current 50 million? Never understood that I was also in a debate with some Chud shi trued to claim that the cuz and USA were leftist because during 70s they supported Angola over Portugal
im completely dumbfounded
>>2913873overdosin
commitin suicide
givin up n shit
>>2913917lol i didn't click it at first because id seen the clip before. i was not prepared for that
>>2913919>Nothing Radicalizes Someone Faster Than Having To Steal Food this is why the path to revolution is not reading lenin but starving the population
a worm just slithered out of rfk jr.'s ear during a press conference
>>2913943this is confirmed btw
Was it even a republican convention in Dallas or trump convention. Felt like everyone was worshipping him like a deity while he was calling republican candidates stupid and ugly which is why he endorses them.
Wtf this feels like แดuแดlossnW type of shit unironically
Where can I find a southern sugar mommy willing to green card a muscular arab twink?
>>2913960The Kommunist Kremlings took away my uncle's plantation. He had the largest banana hoard on DK Island.
Louisiana should be one of the most developed parts of the planet given the immense resources that exist there, but because essentially none of these resources have gone to the people who live there, instead extracted for imperialist super profits, it remains an underdeveloped shithole all the while being a heart of arts and culture for the empire, which then uses that art and culture to launder an image and project soft power.
>>2913936Cause rightoids are retarded and cannot stop thinking about black cock.
>>2913827i mean, u always need some pretext for the state of emergency. so i dont think this means what u think it means
>>2914100it's """underdeveloped""" bc of the terrain, retard
>>2914095They probably only asked white retirees who left the work force with over 7 figures in assets and cash. I want Donald's money, he can "sell" me rope.
>>2914130do you think a white boomer would say no to another free 5K? those people are the biggest social security welfare queens of all
>>2914022the kkkremlins are colonizers. free dk island
>>2914135i wonder what the polling demographic was because i also cant get my head around boomers saying no to another free 5gs from trump
>>2914109Having some bullshit pretext isn't really the same as directly having those circumstances of actually being in emergency
Just a perspective as an "outsider" but it does really look like the calm before the storm.
>>2914151good im ready to start killing all the bourgesisie
BE SCARED VIOLENCE IS COMING BLOOD WILL FLOW
so what's Porky's plan when all the jobs have vanished thanks to AI and demand for stocks and property drops cuz nobody has money anymore
>>2914165kill all poor people and live in an automated utopia by themselves (class abolished, communism achieved)
>>2914174this is why chuds hate communism, they don't see communism as the proletariat abolishing class relations, they see that the bourgeoisie are wining the class war instead. The bourgeoisie will destroy the proletariat, not the other way around. Either way class gets abolished and humanity continues existing, but the kind of humanity that survives is different. The diddyblud epsteinite class is going to abolish class, not the meek of the earth. It's bleak.
>>2914136The Kremlings are historically progressive, bringing industry and commerce to the undeveloped DK Island. The Kongs are primmies who live in treehouses.
>>2914181Meds chuds dont think that far
>>2914194literally ask what chuds think communism is
"it's when WEF klaus schwab kills all the poor people and everyone still alive owns nothing and is happy"
>>2914110bait used to be good
>>2914198Why are you listening to chuds
>>2914205Chud encounters are never willing
>>2914201Sitting here at union bargaining right now and I just wanted to say that Marx was incredibly clear about the Lumpenproletariat. Get a fucking job and stop begging you parasite.
>>2914201>bait used to be goodwhen
>>2914235Im voting for republicans in the midterms btw
>>2914248>>2914253nobody cares who you vote for because voting doesn't make a difference
bag status?
>>2914256It makes a difference in Gaza. The GOP is objectively better for the rest of the world because the Democrats are aggressive warmongers.
>>2914281they're both aggressive warmongers the republicans are just more retarded and senile about it
>>2914289The GOP of Trump is factually less aggressive than the Democrats. Remember that the GWOT could not have happened without the bipartisan support generated by Joe Biden, Tony Blinken and Hillary Clinton, who proceeded to expand the war into Syria and Libya under their regime. Hillary in particular is directly responsible for the migrant crisis and rise of Daesh and other salafist jihadis who are running open air slave markets in the streets of Benghazi.
>>2914289Who are you fooling? If Kamala was installed like the western left wanted Moscow Beijing and Tehran would be smoldering radioactive craters
>fed hikes interest rates
small business owner mass suicide imminent
>>2914281>It makes a differenceBro thinks individual voters have any effect at all lol
>in Gaza. The GOP is objectively better for the rest of the world because the Democrats are aggressive warmongersBoth are one unified bloodthirsty cabal of bourgeois pedophiles. You still don't understand they are the uniparty or are you baitin?
>>2914301They can and they would, Bidenโs Israeli handler even admitted as much there were plans for a full scale invasion of Iran the first year of a Kamala presidency, and you can bet just like Truman before her she would use nuclear weapons as a sadistic display of force
>>2914315
Howโs the weather in Langley?
DEATH TO AMERIKKKA
DEATH TO AMERIKKKA
KILL AMERIKKKANS
>>2914235Next is depression or anger
it's honestly hilarious that MIGAtards don't have any serious answer for anything their pedophile god does anymore, they just scream that kamala would have been worse, they can't defend him in reality and they just have to do astral projection hallucinations of an alternate reality
>>2914322As glad I would be for my country to lend its nuclear might in the fight against the greater Satan, our nuke stockpile is too little to properly glass everything in need of glassing in Burgerland.
>>2914322Just joining the EU market, not even the EU itself, is off the table, Canadian agriculture would wipe euro farmers out worse than ukraines would. I don't expect Europe to offer Canada anything more than empty platitudes about solidarity
>>2914322Critikkkal support??
>>2914322This woman is pretty much Joyce Messier IRL lol
>>2914328We just need to borrow them long enough to build our own without being invaded.
>>2914349We can only hope… Vive le Canada libre!
>>2914293>forget george w bush was president and did 9/11, actually biden started the GWOT from his senate seatretarded
>>2914295they're calling it the truthest nuke of all time
>>2914295Well Kamala looks poised to take 2028 and end up winning. So we may not have avoided that future
>The Defence, Security and Resilience Bank or DSR Bank is a proposed international financial institution backed by the leaders of Canada, Albania, Belgium, Greece, Latvia, Luxembourg, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine. It aims to help allied countries work jointly to fund defence and security-related investments by providing financial support, such as accessible loans to governments. To be headquartered in Canada, with its European Hub in Luxembourg, the DSR Bank will seek to encourage private banks to invest more easily in defence companies, with an overall goal of increasing defence capabilities.
>The DSR Bank has identified Australia, UK, Japan and South Korea as priority Indo-Pacific partners, it is hoped will joinThe imperialists are regrouping and forming new military alliances, note the lack of yankee presence
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence,_Security_and_Resilience_Bank >>2914368Can't wait to critikkally support the anti-imperialist AES states of UK and South Korea against the great SSatan, least I get called an ultra radlib.
>>2914370just like when marx and engels supported the prussians in the franco prussian war
i'm voting trump in 2028 because he's the most accurate representation of the US to take office, and he's done irreparable damage to the country for it.
>>2914346Why are memes so hideous now
>>2914370You don't have to critically support them, but I think any objective analysis shows that the cracking of the Western bloc is a good thing for socialism. It does leave socialists in these countries in a difficult position though. Speaking as a Canadian I see obvious benefits to our distancing ourselves from the US and the emergence of a new bloc based in Europe to which we could insert ourselves. However I also understand that this new bloc would be itself imperialist and can do nothing to advance socialism beyond the very short term advantage of further dividing the Western bourgeoisie. If Canadian (or British, French, etc.) socialists back this move then the obvious risk is sacrificing the independence of the working class movement and falling into a bourgeois, social-imperialist position. On the other hand, if we oppose it then we risk isolating our country in the face of increasing US efforts to subjugate us, which if successful would obviously not help socialism in this country or anywhere else. I think the only sensible position for communists in Canada or Western Europe to take is to focus on building a working class movement strong enough to act as a third force, while exposing the false dichotomy of taking sides between imperialist camps. In Canada specifically though, I think the US should be regarded as the primary threat. I guess I'm of the opinion that a pivot to Europe would be the best move in the short term, but that communists shouldn't be seen to be endorsing one camp or the other at the expense of building independent power.
>>2914383Because people ask algorithms to make meme instead of making them themselves.
>>2914346i'm sure the minab girls school really appreciates it
>>2914388well they just wanted to spread their school shooting culture to the other places.
>>2914399i feel like you guys suck at making a metaphor or a good roast.
there are more baiters than normal people on this board. sad!
Xi just died
>>2914423He merely had a stroke though who would succeed him and how would the people after him be different theres li qiang I know
>>2914425Where on earth did you get that he had a stroke? People with strokes dont walk up stairs to their plane.
>>2914385> I also understand that this new bloc would be itself imperialist and can do nothing to advance socialism beyond the very short term advantage of further dividing the Western bourgeoisie.it would set the conditions for broadening the war beyond a couple of inter-block proxy conflicts
>>2913816Donโt forget to register to vote for Mr. Wilimos! North Carolina is ready for change! Are you?
>>2914428 (me)
like either every single post-colonial world power gets their shit together and re-invent something like bancor over the next 10 years or so, or we get a big big war, these are the two options. there's really no short term advantage.
>>2914431This is why liberalism fails because thereโs no cohesion everybodyโs against each other divides the government after like 4 years tgis would never happen under stalin
>>2914430Quoting random liberals who promised us Xi got couped in 2022 lol.
Its not impossible he felt unwell, hes a 71 year old that just went on a marathon back to bacj state visits. None of that means "stroke" though.
>>2914428correct, the aligning and re-aligning of the balance between powers has always been the natural state of the world
>>2914438it's actually a fixture of liberal economics
>>2914442spheres of influence and global trade and empires predate capitalism by a few millennia
>>2914385the future is a social democratic US invading a NATO-garrisoned canada
>>2914436Oh I guess they lied
Who couldโve guessed
>>2914446turkish soldiers blasting yanks in the streets of montreal would be pretty funny
>>2914450it's the timeline we deserve but not the timeline we'll get
>>2914452> Among those summoned were the top leaders of the five ideological caucuses, known as the โfive families,โ what are the five ideologies of the republican party?

>>2914454Epsteinism, neo-epsteinism, pleo-epsteinism, impieral epsteinism, reactionary epsteinism
>>2914458wheresbthe epstein group
>>2914419Thoughts on this
>>2914419why do zoomer videos always have that FAH sound effect
>>2914462Oligarchs thought they could enjoy the ride for maybe another decade before they kicked off and never see the consequences of their actions. The Iran war has accelerated the economic fall so much that the economy will crash in their lifetimes. So they are panicking.
>>2914472They think it's funny
>>2914419>the only time the US was debt free was under Andrew "Trail of Teas" Jacksonlol, lmao
>>2914460What if Trump somehow seized control of the fed and started changing interest rates? Would what's left of the economy just immediately collapse?
>>2914419I always thought it's hilarious that whenever people raised the issue of the US Debt, everyone would go like
>it's a good thing>means the economy is working>you don't understand the modern economicsOr they'd simply pretend it's not an issue at all or that it doesn't exist.
>>2914472>why do zoomer videos always have that FAH sound effectAt least it's better than the Vine boom.
>>2914480The system only worked with America staying the global economic hegemony, since Trump is destroying that and destroying America's reputation and massively ballooning the debt all at the same time, shit is fucked.
>>2914480Debt isn't an issue as long as you have the bigger stick.
>>2914483In other words, emperor drumpf is our messianic Trojan horse who is destroying the empire for within
>>2914486Trump is China's greatest hero.
>>2914472TikTok
>>2914473True let it burn
>>2914476Kek
>>2914480True he did admit once that Marx predicted modern capitalism and ai once in one of his videos
>>2914481Vine boom is better though
>>2914481>>2914491I would be fine with either sound effect if they didn't put it in the video 50 times. it should be used sparingly
>>2914489Wouldn't have expected anything else from the country who can't into metric system
>>2914493No I like react sound effect spamming
>>2914485but if you outsource bigger stick production to your greatest rival….
>>2914235>bribery didn't work so now they're just downright BEGGING nowOkay, you're right, I'll do anything you want… I'll suck your cock, okay! All of you guys!!!
>>2914504Wtf is actually wrong with Eastern euros? How're they so racists?
>>2914504FFS even
Israel didn't follow the US on this, there is not a more stupid hill to die on.
On what fucking basis would they oppose that? Geometry being woke? Butthurt over shrinking Greenland? Or enlarging Africa triggering BBC neurosis?
Can you guys explain this thing:
in countries like Russia, India, China, Brazil and quite a few others high inflation is considered the norm in a sense that yeah prices go up, what used to cost 30 or 40 roubles in 2019 now costs like 70 roubles.
Most people don't care or don't notice it at this point because people see it as
>just life
>that's simply capitalism
So i am confused why in the US and EU when the prices suddenly go up the same way the go up everywhere else everyone else starts to panic?
Is it just people's perception that
>this isn't normal
or it really is a big deal because the western economies are finely tuned in such a way where major inflation can really fuck up the whole thing?
>>2914470
how about you CDs nuts
>>2914504I don't like how it makes the continents look vertically stretched out.
Why not the Robinson projection, it's a nice compromise.
>>2914507it looks like Crimea is Russian thats prolly why
>>2914510It's a countervailing tendency to the notion that imperialism makes workers complacent and causes them to close ranks with their ruling class. Higher standards of living also make a population more sensitive to decline, which is why thirdies passively endure conditions that firsties would riot over.
>>2914510Things are especially hard for working people, and yeah, the US economy is extremely vulnerable right now.
>>2914518fuck Pelosi but this is out of context, she's being sarcastic
notice how it's 8 seconds long
>>2914521show the context then.
>>2914525Actually I think that makes it worse, I trust someone who is like "yeah we're gonna kill them all, they deserve it", than someone who is like "yeah the war is pointless and we started it for no reason, but now we have to win it anyway for idk national prestige I guess, it would be too socially awkward to back out now, kill em all"
>>2914528wish there was a full version of the octavia anthem lol
>>2914530no, too weird, I don't like it
>>2914528this is unironically what the bolsheviks did, minus the part of it being fake and staged
>>2914533this video is a perfect example of how fascism works. a different, more aggressive way of organizing what is essentially the same crony capitalistic structure of theft exploitation and imperialism.
tie me to a icbm and fire it at florida
i am ready
JDPON don is right to reject that map. The UN is doing this virtue signaling bullshit to distract everyone from how they fuck Africa economically. A new map does fucking nothing. Comrade Trump sees through the lies of United Nothingdoers!!
>>2914535i'm talking about cancelling debts. the bolsheviks couped the provisional government of the february revolution and declared all russian debts illegitimate. not even the february revolution was willing to go that far, which is one of the reasons the USA tolerated the february revolution but not the october revolution. the other two reasons being communism (duh) and WW1 alliances.
>>2914532>>2914542kinda sick of national anthems all being classical music with the cadence of a march. Someone should just go balls to the wall and make a national anthem that is of a contemporary genre…. but modern bourgeois nationalism is a product of the Treaty of Westphalia, so I get it.
>>2914525Idk Pelosi is so fucking old that she always sounds rambly to me, but it sort of sounds like she is calling his bluff, not demanding more war. Any decently intelligent person knows trump has no way to "finish this" other than signing a ceasefire/surrender document, if more bombing would do it he would have done that already and the dems would be on board for that. Pelosi though a monster is not someone who is unintelligent.
>>2914562>than signing a ceasefire/surrender documentA ship that not only has sailed after Iran got tired of Trumpโs shit, but would fail to appeal to the hungers of the American bourgeoisie and their economy
>>2914568it would be very embarrassing for Trump. It's pretty clear that the democrats made no attempt to stop this war because if it fails it's ruinous for trump and if it succeeds they've wanted Iran removed for decades. And it's failed.
Although granted it's possible it failed in a far more serious way than they ever could have imagined and now they are concerned with the long-term irrecoverable damage to the empire.
>>2914527>"yeah the war is pointless and we started it for no reason, but now we have to win it anyway for idk national prestige I guess, it would be too socially awkward to back out now, kill em all"this is literally what the dems did with the bush wars during the obama years. that's why anyone who still trusts them was either not born yet or needs to be throttled to death
the tailban has confirmed that the US will launch a ground invasion of iran btw

Come Mr. Taliban tally me banana

>>2914611trump is going to pass away before biden

>>2914613i wouldn't be willing to bet on that since biden has prostate cancer
>>2914577Effective altruism is absolute shit tbh, but itโs like choosing between an aneurysm and a stroke.
>>2913816Hold that. Audio. Enhance.
Here is the original.
>>2914215but lenin (some call him leneen) didn't write about kautsky because he was a chud but rather due to his tailist turn
>>2914652actually surprised if this is in Poland
>>2914652Crazy based for a polish guy ngl
>>2914691This is almost a year old.
>>2914577tf is effective altruism?
>>2914711Silicon valley pseudo cult. It's what they call themselves, but they just end up serving the Leviathan singularity AI god or whatever
>>2914756>>2914767Of course the alternative being proposed here is effectively "austerity now because fuck you peasant data center go vroooooooooooooom" which is somehow worse
>>2914770>>2914767both these options literally are the same thing
>>2914771America is the father of Al Qaeda pound for pound. The entire question of "worse" is a distraction from that fact. If you just go around saying America is "worse" it triggers all the system defenders into screeching about freedom of american women to be fat and have tattooos and not wear the burka. But if you focus on the fact that the USA funds and creates reactionary groups all around the world you get to acknowledge that America is worse and also that the group it spawns are bad. You cannot cover up the relationship between the USA and far right wahhabist and salafist forces in the middle east. It is just as criminal as covering up the USA's sponsorship of israeli zionists, latin american fascists, and ukrainian neo nazis.
>>2914772In practice yes, it's just one of them is more comically malevolent and in your face about making you suffer and our government is leaning hard into that
>>2914774>America is the father of Al Qaeda pound for poundso america is worse then, got it
>>2914770>>2914772trump is for all intents and purposes on the same side as the "effective altruists" but he's offended at the mere thought of helping people so he rejects the label violently
>>2914767and, paradoxically, it main supporters are the people trying their hardest to make people sterile through exploitation and/or dead through climate. it's embarrassed libertarianism: when "the market rewards me, therefore I'm good" becomes to untenable, you pivot to "the market rewards me, therefore I'm good (in the long term)"
>>2914778he rejects the false framing of altruism because he "cracked the code" of US politics, which is to just be openly sociopathic and stop pretending to be a nice person who wants things to get better, like liberals do.
>>2914779it's literally just the secular version of prosperity gospel, which teaches that if you get rich, it's God showing you favor for your virtue, and not you being a sinful greedy bastard.
>>2914691the kid's sisters and mother are so happy for the beatdown.
>>2914777and many other things you and hasan piker ignored
>>2914777why do you smugly ignore the point
>>2914777boogeyman haters just want to say america bad and get mad if you add anything to that statement, even if you don't disagree with it
system understanders know that america bad, but also once america gone, things won't get better, because the whole world has already been remade in america's image, and america itself was made in the image of the reactionary and sociopathic projects which came before it.
>>2914793The point really seems like splitting hairs. I don't think Hasan would have any disagreement about America's relationship with Sunni extremism.
>>2914792>>2914793>>2914795>>2914796Adding any nuance is just defending Amerikkka. Nuance is the weapon of liberals. Nobody wants your "umm ackshually" bullshit.
>>2914796correct, the worlds going to get much worse with the end of global free trade and the hollowing out of bourgeois democracy, much to the communists benefit
>>2914800>much to the communists benefitwhat fucking communists. there are no communists. just a bunch of losers who cheer about things getting worse but don't actually ever organize or do anything to take advantage of it because that would be "opportunism"
>>2914799>nuance is just defending AmerikkkaHoly shit this website has become so proudly anti-intellectual
>>2914797>The point really seems like splitting hairs. I don't think Hasan would have any disagreement about America's relationship with Sunni extremism.You have to lead with it. Otherwise you just end up reinforcing the default narrative of "America vs. everyone else" when in fact there are many reactionary groups that pretend to be anti-west while being the west's lapdogs. It also frustrates me when Hasan says things like "America deserved 9/11" because even though that's true in the grand scheme of things, it ignores that it was literally the fishiest event of all time that the empire literally benefited from. The US empire traded 3000 of its own civilians lives for millions of middle eastern lives, several overthrown governments and trillions of dollars in stolen resources. Osama Bin Laden wasn't some epic third worldist doing JDPON revenge on the treatlers, he was literally the west's lapdog. And that's assuming you believe the official narrative.
>>2914804>Osama Bin Laden wasn't some epic third worldist doing JDPON revenge on the treatlers, he was literally the west's lapdog.most jewish post of all time award. you are pedophile. you are epstein. osama bin laden was brave third worldist warrior punishing your degenerate population with lungfulls of asbestos and tons of fallen rubble. you are crying because you deserved 9/11 and hate hearing it.
>>2914804>implying america has ever needed a false flag to wage foreign warsamerica didn't benefit from 9/11, invading the middle east was always inevitable
>>2914808>implying america has ever needed a false flag to wage foreign warsUSS Maine
Gulf of Tonkin
>>2914808the appearance of being attacked increases military recruitment (in the all volunteer military!!!) and patriotic feelings in a society that otherwise easily lapses into irony and nihilism. if there ever was a society that has benefited from false flag attacks carried out by CIA cutouts and former anti-communist allies, it is the USA. You underestimate the ruling class here. This Iran war has a very low approval rating btw.
>>2914804>"America vs. everyone else">default narrativeThat narrative was pushed by dubya
then recently scott bessent made it clear that it hasn't died.
you want to get rid off that narrative?
get rid off the ruling class imposing it first.
>>2914804The extremely simple comparison of death count for al qaeda vs american foreign interventions seems like an argument that an average person would be more amenable to, especially as the average american is already extremely skeptical of the war on terror.
"B-but CIA! Operation Cyclone! Charlie Wilson!" is not going to going to anywhere to an average american. It's all true, but it's complex, it sounds like there are details that could be quibbled over, it sounds possibly conspiratorial, it's not like this is vietnam, there is no cultural memory of what happened in afghanistan before america arrived in 2001.
>>2914818>The extremely simple comparison of death count for al qaeda vs american foreign interventions seems like an argument that an average person would be more amenable to, especially as the average american is already extremely skeptical of the war on terror. yes, pic 1

>>2914444you're right i didn't know why i said it like that, i also played hitman like straight up for 5 hours after i posted it and forgot about this thread. i meant to say that colonial powers are not "genetically" (so to speak) pre-conditioned to violence, but divisions within the imperial core, bar for bar, imitate the conditions that eventually led to both world wars.
>>2914810again, imperialist wars are inevitable, laughable to assume the only thing holding back global war is ones ability to pull off false flags
>>2914811doesn't exactly refute the idea that since america was always going to invade the middle east 9/11 was optional
>society that has benefited>This Iran war has a very low approval rating btwsocietal opinion has never mattered. america would have invaded Iran had public support for the war been 0%, this is what you plebs dont understand, Porky doesn't give a shit what we think or want, what difference does it make for the Afghanis if the american soldier executing his family wants to be there or not?
>>2914823>i also played hitman like straight up for 5 hoursyou're supposed to play it for 47 hours, 47
>>2914825understood diana now leave me to prepare
>>2914824>imperialist wars are inevitablenothing is inevitable. easy on the teleology
>laughable to assume the only thing holding back global war is ones ability to pull off false flagsanon argued false flags increase patriotic feelings in an otherwise nihilistic society and increase recruitment in the all volunteer army, not that it's the "only thing holding back global war". easy on the strawman.
there are measurable effects here
>>2914828>patriotic feelings>measurable effects What relevance does any of this have? Does anyone seriously think public opinion has an impact on whether Porky goes on a pillaging spree in the middle east or not? Imperialist wars are necessary to prop up capitalism itself, they are not optional
>nothing is inevitableI'm extrapolating from the worlds current capitalistic trajectory. So long as the rate of profit continues its long term trend of falling, imperialist wars are indeed inevitable
>>2914816My point is, you canโt be mad at other anons who are upset with the US and see the problem as US vs. the world. You canโt make demands of other anons to abandon that world view when that narrative has been imposed by the ones I mentioned. You can mock a point I didnโt make, but that wasnโt the point.
>>2914837>you canโt be mad at other anons who are upset with the US and see the problem as US vs. the worldYeah you can
>You canโt make demands of other anons to abandon that world view when that narrative has been imposed by the ones I mentionedSkill issue. Impose your own narrative and tell them to fuck off
>>2914837>you canโt be mad at other anons who are upset with the US and see the problem as US vs. the worldpretty sure capitalism is global
>>2914822What are you disagreeing with? I was taught in highschool that the US lost the war in Vietnam. I did not learn about Saudi-American support for salafism, the CIA's cold war activities, and the origin of terrorist groups. Perhaps more Americans have come to understand this.
>>2914839there are different degrees of capitalism.
>>2914838why are they to blame for a narrative imposed by dubya and then reinforced by bessent? are we forgetting that
>The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force?
they are pushing back at that imposed narrative, and you decide to push back against them? on what side are you on?
>impose your own narrativeidem. I don't belong to the ruling class.
>>2914844>why are they to blame for a narrative imposed by dubya and then reinforced by bessentโTheyโ? This is a communist board. You have no excuses.
>they are pushing back at that imposed narrativePretty bad joke. You arenโt doing anything but giving the cosmopolitan bourgeoisie a scapegoat. You arenโt slick.
>I don't belong to the ruling class.I am honestly astonished you even bothered to learn about class distinctions.
>>2914844>there are different degrees of capitalism.yes but if we buy into the idea that we have to be on the opposite side of the most developed nations in every conflict unquestionably without any critical analysis, one logically would have had to support fascist Japan against the USA in ww2
>>2914844>The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual forceThe role of the communist is to educate and push back against this, especially when the official ruling intellectual force isnโt actually all that intellectual anymore.
Long live a free North Carolina! Roy cooper will sell you with syrupy words. Michael whatley will sell you with blunt words. I will not sell you or the people of Gaza. Workers,bashkohuni!
>>2914835>What relevance does any of this have?ignoring the part where it increases recruitment in an all volunteer army. yes the superstructure absolutely matters in this country. yes the US ruling class benefits when americans join the military and blame random muslims for shit their government did.
>>2914840it's very easy to explain these things. they aren't that complicated. the idea that they're too complex or too conspiratorial seems like a cope. everyone understands the epstein shit now.
>>2914837>you canโt be mad at other anons who are upset with the US and see the problem as US vs. the world.i said that "US vs. the world" is incomplete, not incorrect. why do so many anons have so much trouble understanding the difference? It's not MERELY that yanks "deserved" 9/11, it's that they LITERALLY did it to themselves, and shouldn't take it out on everyone else.
> You canโt make demands of other anons to abandon that world view didn't happen
>You can mock a point I didnโt make, but that wasnโt the point.the irony
>>2914851>even putting on the pretense of not being a cartoonish supervillain is too much for these peopleobserve
>>2914780 >>2914846So what I infer is, you are on the side of dubya and bessent….?
>>2914848>The role of the communist is to educate and push back against thiscorrect. and that's why you can't be like this:
>>2914804, pretending that people reading into what the US ruling class wants, and pushing back against that is your enemy.
Mind you, all started with his person
>>2914774, I assume is the person, and seems to be mad at people who is vocally correct at what is the worse thing between al-qaeda and the us.
Now, whether that person likes it or not, it's not the world that decided to make
america v. the world, and it's not the people's fault for falling for it. He will call you "not a communist" (i.e. "I am honestly astonished you even bothered to learn about class distinctions.") in the process of explaining to that person that no one can be mad at the people siding with the world (note that I haven't stated my position), until the ideological narrative ends from the source.
It's like being mad at people confusing anti-semitism with anti-zionism. you explain first, then you see if they want to learn or if they want to follow the nazi path. But never be mad at them, because their existence is pre-conditioned by the existence of the zionist state, and not the other way around.
>>2914860>So what I infer is, you are on the side of dubya and bessentโฆ.?What I can infer from this is that you are a willfully stupid person.
> and that's why you can't be like thisI can be whatever the hell I need to be to the willfully moronic
>>2914847>had to support fascist Japan against the USA in ww2We don't have the same conditions. The us took over all the imperial and colonial projects after ww2. the british trade routes, the japenese trade routes, and because france was torn apart, some of the french trade routes (that's why the us intervenes in Vietnam), the dutch trade routes… I may be missing some other trade routes.
in exchange the us gave the marshall plan, which wasn't a gift, but a massive loan, with interests, so it was a win-win for the us.
>>2914864Why are you impersonating this person:
>>2914855 >>2914869A wrecker, most likely.
>>2914865>We don't have the same conditionsSure we do. The imperialist nations of today are the exact same as the ones in the 20th century. Explain to me how the UK still exports more financial services (like banking and insurance) than america 80 years later
>>2914867Iโm not. Youโre on an image board.
>>2914869>>2914870Youโre also on an image board, and I never claimed to be the other anon. Are you two bots? You seem to be unfamiliar with the culture? Naming conventions arenโt the most welcome.

>>2914944NTA but given that a lot of Dems are making anti-trans pivots their big talking point to prove they're not woke I wouldn't count on them winning. Libs hate them for their capitulation and rightoids will just voot for the Republican
The Independent is claiming the republicans are reshuffling ballots
Missouri Republicans Reshuffle House Ballots as Midterm Map Fight Deepens
>JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. โ Missouri election officials are scrambling to reshuffle congressional ballots after courts rejected a Republican-backed redistricting map that had already been used in the August primary.
>The Republican legislature's map, pushed by President Donald Trump, broke up Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's Kansas City-based 5th District in an effort to create a more Republican-friendly seat. Republicans currently hold 6 of Missouri's 8 House seats.
>The Missouri Supreme Court ruled September 3 that the new map could not be used unless approved by voters. The U.S. Supreme Court then blocked the map on September 10, sending the state back to its 2022 congressional boundaries for November.
>That leaves election officials with an unusual problem: Missouri's August primary was conducted using one congressional map, while the November general election is currently scheduled to use another.
>The issue is especially significant for the midterms, with Republicans holding only a 219โ214 House majority.
>A federal appeals court is now considering whether the Trump-backed map can be revived, meaning Missouri voters could once again face another change before Election Day.
>โWe're essentially preparing for two different elections at once,โ one administrator told The Independent.
>The real question now isn't simply who wins Missouri's House races it's which district voters will actually be voting in when they arrive at the polls on November 3.
>>2914872> Explain to me how the UK still exports more financial services (like banking and insurance) than america 80 years laterThere was a competition of exports of financial services, capitalism, etc. amongst the imperial powers before ww2. after ww2 such competition doesn't exist. Since the establishment of neoliberalism, global asset managers such as BlackRock and Vanguard hold significant minority stakes in many privatized strategic companies across all neoliberal states in Europe and in Asia, plus Canada, particularly for oil, gas, mining, electricity and metalurgy. They typically do not directly manage operations, but their size and voting power give them considerable influence. This, and the fact they subordinate their political decisions to washigton's, shows that the competition that once existed is no longer present in these countries; and the countries that don't follow the neoliberal recipe, and washington orders differs a lot from what washington and wall street decide.
So yeah, there are degrees of capitalism.
>>2914948I'm sorry but trans policy no longer makes or breaks a politician, especially in Texas.
>rightoids will just voot for the RepublicanTexas is running out of diesel due to Iran, this isn't a normal election season
>>2914944theyre gonna rig it + americans are too lazy to go out and vote + theyre gonna make it harder to vote which will make even less people show up + by then trump will have already promised every american a pony which will skyrocket his approval ratings o algo
>>2914957good trump is an anti-imperialist
>>2914957not convincing enough for you to put a bet on it though thats for sure
>>2914957dems are probably gonna win the house and then fall short in the senate, so they can be like "oh no… we got so close guys, but don't worry we can send twice as many strongly worded letters now!" Make sure to voote in 2028 (the most important election of your lifetime!!) so we can REALLY hold trump accountable!
>>2914956Being wishy washy or anti-trans as a Dem is absolutely a surefire way to lose support, and most rightoids are completely enthralled in culture war bullshit to the point they openly say they'd be happy to pay more for everything if that meant "no transgender in schools" or whatever. All the shit that Talarico and Kaptur are trying to do to pander to the anti-trans crowd will just decrease turnout for them, because if you're queer what's the point in vooting at all if both faces of the uniparty agree to strip you of your rights?
>>2914962or even better yet the 51-49 followed up with the fetterman flip/rotating villian kayfabe.
>>2914692bruh, what are those American Prices.
11 bucks for mayo? (I don't even think that includes sales tax)
here, in europe, the same product would be around 5 dollars. (and that's for fancy avocado mayo)
>>2914965Look you're not wrong, but whatever trans inconsistency from the Dems will be vastly outweighed by (obviously) false MAGA promises like no more wars, cheaper prices, etc. They fucked themselves and blexas is the consequence
>>2914970That's why buy the fruit loops instead. Or whatever the store brand fruit loops are called if we're really cheap or broke.
>>2914985>The dollar's role as the world's primary reserve currency creates a powerful, self-reinforcing advantage How is a shitty island nation thats poorer than Mississippi per capita exporting twice the financial services than the entire american empire despite this so called advantage? Is america ($64.2bn of financial exports) really only as powerful as the combined might of Singapore ($37.7bn) and Switzerland ($31bn)? Revolution will be easier than I thought
>If you eat a Marathon chocolate bar exported from the uk, and a Snicker chocolate bar exported from the us, are you sure you are getting competition?yes you moron, you're directly supplying demand for an american owned treat over a british owned treat, in the finance world its even worse since Lloyds of london is governed by its own Act of Parliament, making it a creature of the state, so foreigners eating up export market share would be directly existential for all of you

https://www.texastribune.org/2026/03/02/texas-transgender-health-care-minors-kids-mental-therapy/An analogy for gays 25 years ago in Texas would be voting for Democrats who support civil unions and not same-sex marriage, or the Republicans who want to make sodomy illegal (it used to be).
Also I think part of the logic is that there are more people who'd be tempted to vote for Talarico who won't if he adopts the most pro-trans position in this regard because they get crazy about sports. This works for the GOP as a wedge issue because Republicans are united on it while the potential base of voters for the Democrats is not. So essentially the candidate is banking they have more to gain than they have to lose. This also sucks for trans people because both parties have them over a barrel. They have no leverage. Now as morally disastrous as this is, this is a two-party system and there's basically no way out as it's currently configured.

Military F-16 fighter jet crashes and bursts into flames in Michigan during training exercisehttps://www.cnn.com/2026/09/17/us/f-16-crashes-michiganA US military F-16 fighter jet crashed in Grand Traverse County, Michigan, Thursday afternoon with the pilot ejecting, the Michigan State Police reported.
โWe have a possible mayday by wingman. I believe (they) may have taken a bird,โ a military pilot alerted air traffic controllers, according to audio captured by LiveATC.net.
Video showed a fireball in a field next to homes and a large smoke plume in the rural community south of Traverse City.
โIt appears that they may have lost an engine and ejectedโฆ but we do see a lot of black smoke, which we believe is the ejected F-16,โ an air traffic controller relayed to other pilots.
The pilot was the only person onboard the plane and ejected before the crash. No one else was injured, and the pilot is in stable condition at a local hospital, according to state police.
The plane was participating in training exercises at a National Guard Base in Alpena, Michigan, according to the Associated Press.
Everyone within a one-mile radius was evacuated due to a โhazardous chemical spill related to the plane crash,โ State Police said in a social media post.

>>2915175Can we get just one fucking break?
i got really annoyed while pumping gas today in mississippi and i wrote in sharpie "ARE WE GREAT YET" next to the price readout, so there's my big contribution to the leftist revolution. as i was driving home my mind began to wander and i fantasized about some maga police officer or concerned citizen with police connections seeing that and the gas station getting subpoenaed for camera footage and i get arrested and detained in solitary confinement for months or even years by some maga judge with no bail or phone call or appointed attorney. or perhaps just driven out to the remote wilderness and handcuffed to a pine tree and simply left there to die a slow and horrible death and then years later the police drive back there and find my skeletal remains and they pick up my skull and write "NOW WE'RE GREAT" on it in sharpie and fedex it to my mom.
>>2915194bro nobody will care. you're not gonna get arrested for that
>>2915198why can't anyone understand facetiousness anymore? no matter how absurd and over-the-top it gets they just keep reading it at face value, there never comes that scoffing/eye-rolling moment of recognition, it's like a fucking machine. is it a side effect of heavy LLM use?
>>2915200nah i'm just 'tistic
>>2914936Most polls show the gop cratering and democrats winning. Then again, should we trust polls. then again i feel like people are tired of trumps antics, he has been president for what seems like 20 years now. By the end of his presidency it will actually have been 12 years of non stop trump. The democrats are charged up to wreck him, while republican voters have checked out of the game.
So trump will lose, become a lame duck, the economy is shit, he started a stupid war in iran, and he worships Israel, transformation into a neocon complete. All of this will get transferred to vance who will have the guilt by association tacked onto him and vance will lose in 2028 because people are tired of trump and trump world.
then the democrats will get in power, go too "woke", fail to fix the economy, and marco rubio will be president in 2032.
round and round we go in circles
>>2915210>marco rubio will be president in 2032.GOP base will end up falling for Trump 2032 with Don Jr. taking the mantle instead of Marco Rubio who is tainted
>>2915210>>2915234Or the economy just collapses…. and then who knows!
>>2915210>fail to fix the economyYou have to realize there is pretty much no more fixing of the economy, liberal capitalism (probably capitalism as a whole) is completely dead, this is the true raison d'etre of Trump and his stooges, pillage as much as possible while everything is collapsing, In the meantime blame it all on immigration.
Immigrants are a perfect scape goat too when your entire living area will be transforming into an unlivable hellhole.
Feel a sense of misplacement and unease? It's the immigrants ofcourse, after all they are foreign! never mind the dead fish and absence of birds, its immigrants. In a way, the EU has been on the front of this for a while, one of the only things the usa will copy from the eu is this lmao.
Gustavo Petro was right when he said that gaza is the future the west wants to implement and force upon the world, because all these rich inbred retards think that they will be ok as long as they sacrifice billions of browns to the god of capital.
>>2915210Haha no.
The Dems will start the GWoT2/WoD2 officially. The EU&co will use the "progressive" moment to push for an alternate "anti-authoritarian" UN and generally establish the "containment" narrative to perpetuate most of Trump's policies. While framing it as "anti-Trump isolationism". The course will be corrected from the military ambitions to encircle and choke China to a controlled withdrawal from global hegemony.
Into pimping South America's and whoever else can be roped in, to other big capitalist powers. The US will go from the world's hegemon to the worlds most brutal pimp. In anything the Dems are bound to go all-in on the new operation Condor. Which only looks more tame because what with everyone being liberals there is scarcely the need to *liquidate* the opposition anymore.
But this will do nothing for you because you'll live in a Starship Troopers soy fascist shithole while it works, then post-collapse eastern Europe when all the imperialist juice has dried. And US rivals will find either agreeable (and profitable!) and "deeply respect the sovereignty" of your oppressors as they drive you into further ancapistani hell.
>>2915200>no matter how absurd and over-the-top it gets they just keep reading it at face value, Shit started way before LLMs.
You communicate with people who seemingly say stupid shit in jest, only to realize later they actually mean it. It happens once, twice, thrice… and at some point you no longer gives the benefit of doubt.
>>2915076the marx quote you're citing is him literally criticizing this position. also, who makes commodities for the porky deng is supposedly riding?
>>2915242>liberal capitalism (probably capitalism as a whole) is completely deadexcept it literally isnt, its not dead until its replaced by another mode of production
>>2915305This is an environmentalist board. The internet uses too much electricity. In the future we'll return to text posts like the 90s because videos consume too much power. Use your imagination. Nature is healing.
>>2915303They mean itโs down hill from here for liberal capitalism.
i love assimilating cultures and peoples, prolly the best thing about this country
>>2915303>>2915328yeah like we are in this weird spot where liberalism is dominant but also it can't renew it's legitimacy anymore. it has no argument to make, nothing to offer, no future to articulate, just a series of coercive "IT'S AN EMERGENCY" style justifications and force. So it's not dead but it's dead as a valid political force. Even it's own constituency is increasingly looking for options as any right or left wing attempt to assert the middle class' humanity and force it's recognition by liberalism, which could work to a limited (but doomed) degree in the past, are failing to get anywhere and forcing radicalization.
>>2915303how can America be a champion of Liberalism when its turning away from its most important principles like free trade, free markets and open immigration? If all Liberalism has left is Europe then yeah its pretty much dead. Also multiple modes of production can exist at the same time

>>2915376>just as muchno?
also a lot of this is probably coming up because people are getting worried about how fragile and fraught the internet is becoming
>>2915376Do they state subsidize them too ? Or are they getting paid to have an american data center in the country or something
>>2915387>>2915390India for example generates nearly 20% of the worlds data but has only 3% of the storage. Where else would that data be stored? Since its theirs it would be preferable it wasn't stolen and kept outside India. It is obvious data centers are an essential part of a nations development

>>2915411The real movement has already endured much.
>>2915412>feudalism coexisted with and suppressed capitalism for even longer than thatBoth are class based systems that utilize state and money, and could ignore global conditions to a certain extent.

>>2915423>favorable global conditions are what gave rise to capitalism in the first place when the landowners started exporting wool for trade thoAnd yet societies under capitalism can still be quite privy, with nationalism and isolationism being quite prevalent under this mode of production.

โUh ohโ: Panic as major US oil refinery shutdown creates price-shock โperfect stormโhttps://www.rawstory.com/gas-prices-2677884881/<A major U.S. oil refinery in Illinois that abruptly shut down this week remained closed as of Thursday despite expectations that it would resume operation by the end of this week, sparking widespread panic that the incident could trigger the โperfect stormโ for a catastrophic price shock.<Last Sunday, Exxon Mobil shut down its oil refinery in Joliet, Illinois following a power outage, though later declined to say whether the closure was directly linked to the outage, Reuters reported. The refinery produces around 11 million gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel per day, according to the companyโs website, providing fuel to Americans โprimarily across the Midwest.โ<With gasoline prices already soaring to unprecedented levels across the United States, the timing of the refineryโs extended closure triggered fears it could send prices spiraling even further out of control.<โThe facility was probably running above capacity and broke. Crack spreads are going to scream,โ warned Philip Pilkington, an Irish podcaster, author and macroeconomist, on Friday in a social media post on X.<Others, like Texas-based software engineer and Ukrainian Armed Forces veteran Constantine Kalinovskiy, laid the blame for worsening oil-price surge squarely at President Donald Trumpโs feet.<โTrump f—– up every f—— thing he touched,โ Kalinovskiy wrote Friday in a social media post on X.<Australian columnist Miranda Devine suggested the refineryโs closure could even play a role in the upcoming midterms.<โUh oh. Midterm headwinds getting worse,โ she wrote Friday in a social media post on X, reacting to a report on the closureโs impact on the Midwest.<Trumpโs deeply unpopular war against Iran has been cited as the key source for the ongoing global surge in oil prices. In the United States, the national average for a gallon of regular gas reached $4.47 on Friday, a more than 17-cent increase from just a week prior, and a more than 40-cent increase when compared with a month ago, according to AAA. >>2915460>Orange Retard thinks money is realThis is MMT and Neoclassical economics taught in colleges by the way
>>2915455Is insulin fake just because it's made by big pharma? Fuck off retard.
>>2915460The fact that Trump hasn't been taken out to pasture yet shows just how deranged the modern capitalist class is. No attachment to reality whatsoever. Whatever sense of stewardship they used to have is gone, it's pure fuck-you-I've-got-mine mentality while praying for the apocalypse. They want it all to collapse.
>>2915464People talk about "militant accelerationism" as some fringe belief by miniscule white supremacist cults and FBI honeypots, but minus the explicit focus on race war the top dogs of the bourgeoisie have effectively fully embraced the ideology. The only argument that can be made anymore for their continued support of Trump at this point is that they want to usher in the apocalypse so they can live like god-kings in their bunkers with all their whims tended to by a slave caste made up of the survivors. It's eerily similar to all those "Illuminati NWO depopulation conspiracy" thingies the right used to rant about in the 90's and 2000's, except now that it's actually happening in front of us they're all pro Illuminati.
I dont really know where I was going with all that except to make a point that the real "militant accelerationists" are folks like Musk and Bezos
>>2915302i don't care what marx was criticizing. i am using the quote to show that china is a wise nation of capitalists that leaves the consumption of commodities to less intelligent nations like the USA. I am showing you that the USA is consooming itself to death. Did you not watch the two clips? did you not read the posts I was replying to. observe the context.

>>2915465they believe wholeheartedly that the solution to their eternal problem is at hand. Make no mistake, they understand their class position and the ultimate threat they face: an underclass uprising, throwing off their chains and putting the ruling class to the sword. They believe the AI-enabled surveillance state that they want to build will forever eliminate that threat and establish their class position and dominion forever and retvrn to the feudalist position they feel is their birthright before they had to give a few crumbs of their power and wealth away to quiet the masses. The real question is are they correct or huffing their own farts?

>>2915478yes lutnick is deluded. video 2 immediately makes that apparent
>US military had close call after using AI for false intelligence report, sources say
> The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
>The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.The report, according to one of the sources, was โentirely false.โ But it also โalmost started a war,โ the source said.
>Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations. Across the US military and the intelligence community, officials are pushing to weave AI into nearly every facet of their work, from analyzing the huge volumes of raw intelligence the US collects and selecting targets for strikes, to more mundane applications like managing budgeting, logistics and supply chains.https://archive.ph/TBB5F >>2915474they're fart huffing because even if they win the class war it's at the expense of society's long term political and environmental sustainability. They are holding onto power so they can be kings in a global junkyard because they are afraid of being equals in a society superior to the current one.

>>2915586https://faculty.ucr.edu/~eschwitz/SchwitzAbs/USAconscious.htm>Abstract: If youโre a materialist, you probably think that rabbits are conscious. And you ought to think that. After all, rabbits are a lot like us, biologically and neurophysiologically. If youโre a materialist, you probably also think that conscious experience would be present in a wide range of alien beings behaviorally very similar to us even if they are physiologically very different. And you ought to think that. After all, to deny it seems insupportable Earthly chauvinism. But a materialist who accepts consciousness in weirdly formed aliens ought also to accept consciousness in spatially distributed group entities. If she then also accepts rabbit consciousness, she ought to accept the possibility of consciousness even in rather dumb group entities. Finally, the United States would seem to be a rather dumb group entity of the relevant sort. If we set aside our morphological prejudices against spatially distributed group entities, we can see that the United States has all the types of properties that materialists tend to regard as characteristic of conscious beings.What the fuck???

Literally you are more filled. We are close technological. In fact we as a species could have theoretically ended scarcity of most basic needs. What we lack is vision, purpose, and discipline. None of those things are provided anymore.

why are my only choices for places to post about leftist shit online either r/trueanon which is increasingly becoming overly moderated like every other subreddit is and posting here with classic posters such as "STALIN WILL RAPE YOU" and "Juche Schizo" and "Iron Felix"
surely there's a middle ground between these two extremes. I really cannot understate how much I dislike using reddit and hate moderators.
>>2915889>surely there's a middle ground between these two extremesSorry, the only option is further enshittification. Perhaps under communism the internet will have the options you wished it had and then some.
>>2915820parrots don't enslave each other like humans do

>>2915889Try BlueSky that seems more your speed.
>>2915894and if it isn't banned the culture of the board will continue to shift more and more towards being r/hasan, flavorless and bland.
i've been using r/trueanon since like 2018, it's always had this dive bar energy to it. like you know everyone who's posting is based and the discussion isn't entirely about elections or "welcome to politics" level politics, you've got the parapolitics, the culture shit, just has a vibe to it. Shit's been dying slowly, the continued bans of other leftist subreddits forcing consolidation as well as shifting energies, it's harder and harder to justify making a new reddit account when you get banned for typing fuck israel

Youโre never going to reverse the domestication
Q: what are your thoughts on the state Duma elections?
A: I fully support Mr. Malkinovichโs party against the forces of reaction. As well as a lot of anti-war independents.
>>2915796also it doesn't matter because anon is confusing consumption with prosperity. does having a society full of 300lb wheelchair bound diabetics reflect positively? even our wealth, to the extent that we have it, is misused, a poisoned chalice. our literacy rates our declining, our share of manufacturing is declining, our health is declining. our population is aging. more and more of our GDP is spent on keeping boomers alive.
>>2915957Prosperity is having stuff you dumb buddhist, yes itโs better to die of excess than lack
>>2915959i was agreeing with you and adding to what you said, not contradicting it. i'm not a buddhist.
our excess doesn't have to be used to poison us is my point. why should our wealth be spent on forever wars, fentanyl, and fried butter instead of schools, hospitals, and healthy foods? I was reinforcing your argument by saying our wealth
even to the extent that we have it is completely misused. it's used to rape the planet and keep the majority of people stupid, weak, unhealthy, and reactionary.
>>2915889it's by design big guy.
your options are libtard or schizo.
healthcare status?
>>2915964None of the wealth we have is sustainable anyway, so why not spend it all on hedonistic excess?
>>2915888>No one ever said itโs unchanging. It is continuously revolutionary.Change occurs through tensions between opposed tendencies. Like between the old and the new. So to say there is no contradiction in communism means there would be no change, nothing transforming into anything else, which won't happen in any case.
>>2915979it's not sustainable BECAUSE it's spent on hedonistic excess. a society that is prosperous but doesn't care about the long term is doomed.
>>2915982you realise change can some from things other than class struggle?
>>2915983No, itโs unsustainable because itโs all based on stealing it from the third world and our comparative advantage in the aftermath of WWII where we sustained no damage to the metropole, that status quo was literally never sustainable, which makes long term investment even stupider than blowing it on coke and heroin, the ancient hedonists were right anyway
Q: why donโt you have a campaign website?
A : I have a phone number. If you want a website build it yourself.
>>2915988those aren't mutually exclusive
if all your wealth is got by stealing AND you spend it all on garbage that makes you weak and stupid, your society is unsustainable.
>>2915994(somebody make them both giga)
>>2915993What good is being smart?
>>2915986Class struggle is just one type of contradiction that exists in class society. Also certain types of contradictions can disappear because of development without contradiction itself disappearing. Think about electricity. It used to be that nighttime really put a limit on what people could do but electricity eliminated a lot of that. But then you have new contradictions like light pollution which is a new problem created by the resolution to an older problem. Or if we developed flying cars (in a more widespread way than they are now) that might solve older contradictions involving older forms of transport but it would create new contradictions because we'd have to find some way to prevent them from crashing into each other. That's a more dialectical way of thinking because of the transformation involved. But since we live in class society, that mucks up everything because if you're poor you might be living in area with either too much street lighting because you're next to a giant ugly parking lot lit up with floodlights because it's owned by a car dealership which is also owned by some rich asshole who lives in a nice neighborhood somewhere else but he's advertising the cars while also trying to deter theft, or you don't have enough lighting. That's just an example.
>>2915997>What good is being smart?helps you avoid making needless mistakes and helps you survive complex situations.
>>2915982>Change occurs through tensions between opposed tendenciesThat is not the only way change occurs.
>So to say there is no contradiction in communism means there would be no changeChange does not require contradictions to happen.
>>2916002>But then you have new contradictions like light pollution which is a new problem created by the resolution to an older problem.That isnโt a contradiction, thatโs just an issue. The inability to solve light pollution due to a profit over effectiveness mindset is a contradiction. How did you even end up like this?
>>2915997Being dumb gets you to do shit against your own interests and makes you easy to fool.
i think america needs a psychic nuke. a regular nuke won't do it. like what is the best way to make all 340 million people in the USA trip hard on LSD at the same time?
>>2916006>That is not the only way change occurs.Okay you're right but contradiction is the main one. It's an aspect of changing liquid water into vapor via adding heat. That isn't necessarily capitalist.
>The inability to solve light pollution due to a profit over effectiveness mindset is a contradiction. I think you can say that's a capitalist contradiction because of the social form of organization the contradiction is playing out in. All I'm saying is that (in theory) communism would resolve contradictions in an organized, fair, and planned way. And it would do this continuously given that there would still be development and thus new contradictions emerging out of resolutions to older contradictions.

>I think you can say that's a capitalist contradictionThatโs not a contradiction, that is a problem. light pollution is a problem. An issue. The inability to solve light pollution due to profit motive is a contradiction.
>All I'm saying is that (in theory) communism would resolve contradictions in an organized, fair, and planned wayCommunism does not have contradictions to resolve. It has problems to resolve.

>>2916021I was tempted at one point to try to "figure it out" like why you had these fash-curious gay guys like Yukio Mishima and there were some in the SA and perennial thing where they come popping out of right-wing parties, but now it's not that interesting because I've met enough dumb / retarded gay guys that it's like whatever. Like maybe it's a fetishistic thing for uniforms or it can be a weird artiste thing (or both for Msihima) but that can go in all kinds of directions. It's like Vito in The Sopranos who's gay and also in a homophobic organization becaue he got wrapped up in it for some reason because of his family or upbringing and choices he made in life. Fictional character but apparently they loosely based him on a gay guy who was in one of the New York families who was living a double life.
>>2916026I think a contradiction involves opposing aspects which are also united in some kind of way in a structure. We're talking about streetlights so if the bulb breaks that's a problem and you can replace it but that exists in a larger structure. Like we have a lot of streetlights and there are different aspects to street lighting as a technology employed on wide scale. It helps us get around at night but it also interferes with astronomy so you have to put telescopes far away from cities. That's not simply a "problem" rather the problems are aspects of the contradiction and necessarily so within the structure of the thing.

>>2916030i talked to my (bisexual) mother about this same subject and her explanation of homofash was racism. I was talking to her about the HR lady at my job who's a lesbian covered in tattoos and in an interracial relationship, but also a diehard MAGA supporter.
Americans in general seem to have this thing where they'll let some random identitarian thing like racism define their entire politics, even at the expense of their other identities, as well as their class.

>>2916057Hypothetically, if the New Deal expanded like originally attended, could it have lead to another path towards a form of American socialism?
>>2916055CPUSA should have been far more aggressive once they managed to get into the FDR coalition. They should have used the business plot as a demand to crush the industrialist and nationalize a bunch of industries. Also they didnt invest enough in media and negative polarization. Conservativsim and free market types should be seen as the anti-american weirdos, forgien assets and criminals.

>>2916045I was eating pizza across the street from a gay bar once and had to listen to one really drunken flight attendant talk about how he was worried that Muslims were gonna shoot up the club. But my impression was that guy's life was also just completely out of control. Like that's another aspect of it, people are just fucked up, have mental problems and delusions. And the alcoholism probably didn't help in his case.
There was a guy in Florida who did shoot up a club, but did you see these clips from this Daily Wire movie? ISIS takes over a college after the left-wing students let them in and then the queer students get hanged. There's a bunch of crazy clips from this movie. Run Hide Fight: Infidels. Streaming now.

>>2916046They were calling Biden a communist. The Republicans have nothing and theyve pushed the red scare tactic so many times people have become desensitized to it. Also hilarious they're scare mongering about personal freedom while pushing flock cameras and state goons on every corner and at the ballot box.

>>2916083It's kinda crazy how things have changed; the 2016 era alt-right had a bunch of LGBT characters that aren't relevant anymore. Pulse shooting happened around that time too. Now all I see with this sort of propaganda is the right-wing writers smiting the LGBT characters with the justice that they deeply feel is deserved through their own bigoted muslim caricatures.
>>2916083> Daily Wire Wow, they truly are stuck in 2016. Still falling for spookery and ignoring the fact that ISIS (and all Wahhabist "terror groups") is a creation of the American Intelligence agencies.
