it’s fun to play with. my ADHD brain likes the texture

a capitalist society without growth is a failed society that will quickly be overthrown. It absolutely depends on growth, what incentive is there to invest capital otherwise?

how does any of that make them “bourgeoisie” or the “privileged elite”? Nations have different political systems, you shouldn’t expect them all to be organized like the corrupt American system unless you are an imperialist. And it’s particularly offensive to want to impose American political values on Cuba, a former American colony who righteously broke free of those chains.

wrong. a cast vote for candidate 3 is not a lost vote for candidate B. Furthermore variable b decreasing doesn’t increase the total of variable t so no you can’t “rewrite” it like that with magic math. This is how it works, it’s actually very simple:

candidate T gets t votes

candidate B gets b votes

candidate X gets x votes

Notable silence from the defenders of the “international rules based order”

unless this is movie about the pool ladder serial killer I fail to see what interesting plot hooks the Sims provides since it’s uh, you know, just a simulation of normal western life?

artists aren’t excused from technological proletarianization. Yes it hurts, you are going to get the value of your labor stolen by Disney and you will have to work in AI prompt generator mines. Billions of artisans, peasants and petty bourgeois in history have suffered the same indignity of being forced into wage labor. The bourgeoisie strips of its halo every occupation hitherto honoured and looked up to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the writer, the scientist, into its paid wage labourers. Now it is the artist’s turn. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and humans are compelled to face with sober senses their real conditions of life, and their relations with their kind. So do not expect the bourgeoisie or their governments to provide you or or your occupation with special protections, they don’t care, they exist to make profit and they will crush you into dust as soon it’s profitable to do so.

The solution is and has always been class consciousness followed by proletarian revolution. If there is any upside to proletarianization it is that more people are introduced into the only revolutionary class. Put your artistic talents to use and create some agitprop, but don’t expect to be paid for it. Every reward we get has to be fought for.

I also guarantee NATO is preparing “stay-behind” operations GLADIO style right now. gotta fight to the last Ukrainian after all.

green hydrogen plants

lmao that is never going to happen. that technology doesn’t even exist on a efficient scale yet. It’s all polluting gray hydrogen. are all Germans this gullible? at least build something that actually works like solar. Green hydrogen is a fucking scam and a handout to fossil fuel industry to do “research”

Don’t take it so personally. sure EVs have a role to play but if we’re to be serious about tackling climate change and environmental sustainability it’s going to require massive infrastructure redevelopment projects, not asking everyone to please swap to rechargeable batteries. It’s not about being “right enough” it’s about recognizing a non-solution and also on a policy level a blatant scam. All these EV subsides the liberal Biden administration is throwing out are an obvious hand out to the failing American auto industry to try to keep them competitive and desperate ploy to their quickly dwindling supporters for them to look like they’re doing anything worthwhile on climate change at all.

Having every American buy a new electric car is just going to make a few auto executives rich as hell and not even reduce overall global emissions because those cheaper ICE cars that can’t be sold in America are just going to go to other parts of the world that don’t have EV infrastructure but have plenty of already existing gas stations. And there’s all the emissions of actually building the damn things. No, they need to put their money where their mouth is and build some fucking trains.

Demetrious Polychron

holy shit what an incredible name, don’t even care what’s this about, I’m with him. President Polychron 2024.

pumping the breaks on Israeli aid

PENTAGON TAPS “TIGER TEAM” TO RUSH WEAPONS TO ISRAEL

literally yesterday. I know you’re trying to still believe the US Government/Biden has any morality here but they don’t. Stop listening to the lies of politicians, you are being misled and now you’re spreading disinformation in service of ethnic cleansing and imperialism.

you are so sure that you are right and already “know it all”, why bother and even read this? There is no comment section to argue.

he made a mistake posting this to a comment section, now he must pay the price

try it bitch

https://youtu.be/NrWkXICcefo?si=x6zondtnH3EWJYeB second part is in English

will probably take that long just to add back in all the things they had to cut from from the consoles

but Guyana is cringe and Venezuela is based so I’m still supporting their claim to the territory

I hope he still had enough marbles rolling around up there by the end to recognize that the empire he helped build on a tower of blood and skulls couldn’t even keep their hard-won hegemony together for 25 years before falling off the rails. This was supposed to be the American Century, that was what it was all for- all the wars and barbarity our young nation eagerly embraced- so we could crack open the final peoples who still resisted Liberal Capitalism. The end of history some said!

Instead we immediately fell for all the same classic blunders of other empires we supposedly learned so much from: decades long land war in Asia ending in humiliating failure, getting entangled with another fucking Zionist war in the middle east, neglecting our domestic population in favor of more imperialism so much that it creates lasting and rapidly deteriorating social and political instability. We created so much resentment there is now a worldwide, self-conscious, anti-hegemonic collation aligning against us. It’s going to be a rough, hard fall for America in the future. If he’s such a smart statesman like his friends say, than Kissinger must have realized this, though I doubt he had any regrets regardless.

I swear the only reason Americans care at all is because Bin Laden was on TV for years (either him or people talking about him) and in America, TV man = serious opinion. It’s ironic blowback from trying to portray bid laden as the “King of All Terrorism” a decade ago.

It’s hard not to see that there is money behind this," said the company’s founder and CEO, Liav Refael-Chen. “The messages are too precise and the orchestration is too well-timed for there not to be a financier behind the scenes.”

Yes, he means HAMAS is the one funding a worldwide propaganda push, and not the Zionist entity who was literally paying people to show up at protests last week and pours millions into influencing and corrupting media and public institutions in the West. The idea that people would just naturally be against genocide is inconceivable to them.
