Capitalism and socialism may have a century left. Whatever comes next may be in practice now in some communities or tribes.

Leftists should watch what Rightists are up to.

Trump-loving anti-lockdown activist ready to start killing: ‘The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat’

In an interview with The Daily Beast’s Will Sommer, Griffin defended telling fellow activists at an anti-lockdown rally that “the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.”

“You get to pick your poison: you either go before a firing squad, or you get the end of the rope,” he said. “I’ll tell you what, partner, as far as I’m concerned, there’s not an option that’s not on the table.”

Showering would be a nice start.

If Far Leftists demonstrated better hygiene then public perception might change

Unpayable student debt is ripping the guts out of the secondary education industry. Degrees are increasingly worthless for employment. Colleges are starting to go out of business. Primary education may recover its lost value, but meanwhile, activists will need to adapt or be shut out. They shut themselves out when they insult people with less education.

Vaush reviewed Parasite (and the Sonic movie) back in February, and I enjoyed him briefly touching on the little stigmas we often take for granted when it comes to class prejudice, Ex. the "smell of poverty."

USA is fucked! I mean it's always been a little fucked up but at least the lunatics were never running the asylum. But now... It's moved from fucked up to being totally fucked. I hope someone denies him access to the launch codes because he's going to take the world down with him before he shoots himself in the bunker.

Big Joel covering a recent PragerU video: "A Conservative Fever Dream"

It's great, and I he used an extremely useful term for conservative arguments without actual arguments that I haven't heard before: Aesthetic of Disorientation.

Leftist generally cower when confronted.

The revolution might last through lunch time. Then those fat, pale guts gotta get their double-cheese burgers.

Projection 101..."pale", really?

 

[Damoiselle]

Well, there is one pale leftist who likes cheeseburgers and fears conflict here for sure.

Though that isn't to say that there aren't non-pale, non-meat eating, conflict-loving comrades in the world. In fact, veganism is a very common debate in leftist discourse.

Dammit... I wrote something really cutting and then realized I misread. Good snark wasted.

Ha Ha, Tell that to Ho Chi Min. I believe he was a Leftist.

He said mostly.

Every now and then one of you pops up and murders a shit load of people making the RW look like rookies in the mass murder game.

Though it's generally your own citizenry after you disarm them because cowards gotta cower.

You like cheeseburgers? Say "thank you capitalism".

 

[Damoiselle]

You like cheeseburgers? Say "thank you capitalism".

Nope, I say "thank you, fellow workers," and also "I'm sorry that there are people hoarding vaster sums of money than they could ever need or spend off of the fruits of your labor through capitalism."

Edit: My roommates and I are laughing at the idea of thanking feudalism for bread, and we simply must thank you for inspiring our afternoon comedy.

So you never buy anything??

You went and tamed wild oxen, raised and slaughter them....grow your own grain, grind it by hand and bake a bun??

Where did you get your milking cow for the cheese???


I somehow doubt anyone who's doing EVERYTHING for themselves (which is totally illegal in California) to the extent they never have to buy or exchange anything with other people has time to do much posting.

Speaking of posting and internet, build your own computer and network from scratch did you??

Or do you pay other people to do stuff for you like the rest of the civilized 1st world??

and also "I'm sorry that there are people hoarding vaster sums of money than they could ever need or spend off of the fruits of your labor through capitalism."

Why are you sorry for that? Everything is voluntary, nobody is forced, everyone wins.

I can't build a computer or my own network....I'm a botanist/horticulturalist, so I pay tech companies and service providers to do that for me.

Feudalism??

LOL that would be pretty funny.

Just a little ray of fact-free sunshine...

How do you figure??

Ohhhh are you one of those lefties who pretends all the mass murdering leftist out there weren't REAL leftist??

No, I don't do any of that, and that's why I thank fellow *workers* who do it.

Because I find that usage of "wins" untenable to the point of cartoonishness.
