“Most of human history has already proven why, but surely this time will be different” — idiots

It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

Capitalism hasn’t spent decades, and a depressingly small ampunt of money, capturing the political class, to improve the lives of the working class.

I’m a programmer. Programmers are the way the are because of biases inherent to pre-existing wealth and historically in-demand skills / high pay. It’s only a matter of time till they learn the boot of capitalism will crush them the same as any other worker.

Bro’s legit out here thinking there’s some sort of meaningful wealth redistribution instead of winner takes all for the few, abject poverty for the rest.

The only thing Putin needs is a bullet in the head.

Can’t he just do what America is known and loved for? … Denying entire countries their basic human rights, sovereignty, and democracy?

I legit think the state/oligarchy will kill him silently. Taking it to trial and giving this guy a voice could make things so much worse for them. They’re afraid of creating a robin hood, and class solidarity; of giving the working class a hero and cause to rally around.

They’re so close to creating a robot army that can suppress the masses. They just have to bide their time until revolution is impossible.

Mate, the entire developed world thinks America is a joke, and the US healthcare system is a crime against humanity. The world literally agrees that this scab getting murdered is justice because your system is so parasitic and evil. It’s darkly hilarious, and it’s given us all a break from having to hear about Musk and Trump.

In fact, the only people who think a verifiably sociopathic parasite oligarch getting murdered is wrong, are fucking braindead morons.

I once came across a large adult wombat just chilling in the middle of a single lane road in a national park. Wikipedia says they grow up to 35kg, but I swear this one was pushing 50kg; like a large bulldog crossed with a pig. One absolutely rotund stocky fur-ball. He continued to waddle down the middle of the road as I swerved from side to side, trying to get him to move over so I could go around. I had places to be, and drugs to consume. He did not give a fuck. He couldn’t give one single iota of a fuck. I eventually got outta the car and chased him. I started with a slow jog but he just continued trotting down the middle of the road, keeping his distance. Within about 10 seconds I was sprinting as fast as I could but the majestic chonk wasn’t even trying hard; just leisurely galloping. The chase continued for a solid 100 meters before he opened up and just took off like a rocket, accelerating into the shadows before darting sideways into the bushes. I was blown away. I thought the fat little cunt would be slow but he was as fast as a dog. Don’t fuck with wombats. They are the honey badgers of Oz.

Gee. I wonder why.

In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer these weapons to Russia and became a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange for assurances from Russia, the United States and United Kingdom to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.

This is probably a response to Israel’s genocide/wars, and the US electing Trump (plus christian evangelism). Nukes reduce the likelihood of invasion significantly. Regardless of whether we despise their authoritarian regime, Iran is smart to proceed with nuclear sovereignty. No nation or its oligarchy can be trusted to defend your sovereignty over their own profits or domestic politics. There are no friends in business.

Yet none of them really paywall you for using an adblocker.

Actually come to think of it, porn sites are the only place I allow ads (obv blocking the pop ups and other dark pattern fuckery)… probablys because I learned to ignore them entirely as a teen before ad blockers existed.

I’m happy to say that nobody in my family ever really code switched.

The closest was my WW2 vet grandfather responding to my disdain for nuking Japan with the higher amount of civilians killed by firebombing… but in a non-racist matter-of-fact kind of way. My disdain never stopped, but I did learn that there is no such thing as a moral or just war; only some sides are more moral and just than others, and each create hell on Earth trying to win it.

I’m not suggesting we abandon those ideals in the slightest. I’m suggesting we acknowledge reality as it truly is, hold the charlatan virtue signalers and criminals accountable — whoever they are — and start creating the ideal world we all thought was possible.

Be the person your dog thinks you are… but to everyone, including yourself!

It’s depressing, but the reality we were taught to believe never really existed. All of these aspirations were virtue signals taught to us by a capitalist oligarchy whose politics, policies, laws, wars, economics, and judicial system always clearly displayed otherwise with their actions.

It started with the virtue signal of “all men are created equal”; shitting all over non-landowners, women, and blacks.

The question isn’t if the emperor has clothes or not. The question is what we the people are going to do about it… probably nothing… also depressing.

So you can doom scroll faster… duh!

The millions of free porn sites would beg to differ…

When he declared Nov would be the last election, and winning it meant they wouldn’t have to worry about elections again, he meant it!

He’s doing exactly what he said he would do.

You mean a political, economic, and judicial system that is actually for the people? Holds greed, narcissism and psychopathy accountable instead of creating fascist dystopia, destroying the planet and billions of lives, along with most life on earth?

Man, that timeline would’ve been sweet.

In reality, fuck you! There are no rules for the oligarchs, because you live in a corporate dictatorship. What you gonna do about it peasant?

Their laws are worth less than the paper they’re written on. Fuck em. He’s old enough if he gets enough votes. We’re already letting millions of mentally ill fascists elect criminally corrupt sociopaths.
