And there is no political leverage the proletariat has to push for policy change after the election. The pressure came from "do what we say or at election time we vote for someone else"

Well, every fucking election when it comes time to follow through after they again failed to hold up their end of the bargain the majority gets cold feet and caves to familiarity because risking change is scary.

Exactly. Can't have change from within the system when the vast majority willingly throws away their political leverage and uncritically grants power to genocidal imperialists.

How many empty promises must people fall victim to before they decide to do something other than beg for change?

Cool. I don't love America. I fucking despise this country and everything it stands for. Israel can fall with it, never should have existed in the first place.

The world would be leagues better for it.

Not less evolved. Just evolved differently for alternative environmental circumstances.

There is no hierarchy of evolutionary traits. Just an amalgamation of traits that are or are not useful in the current environment. What genetic makeup is effective in one place and time is useless in another, and what was once useless may now be beneficial.

We have no clue how threatening they could potentially be.

Vulcanization is a chemical process of rubber by treating it with sulfur. You have no clue what you are talking about and it is obvious. You want to call me worked up?

How about you stop getting so worked up trying to be morally righteous, fighting ghosts of your own creation and "GTFO" with your fallacious assumptions misrepresenting my argument. None ever said that we have to tolerate fascists.

Did you just not fucking read the top comment in this thread by shikotohno, that specifically said to rely on BALKANIZATION, the process of a country breaking up into smaller, often hostile, independent units typically due to economic, religious, or geopolitical interests, to solve the political strife within the country, or are you just daft?

The strat isn't to give up and acquiesce to letting them have their own playground to perpetuate their oppression, just because it isn't happening in your backyard, at the cost of sacrificing hundreds of thousands of innocent people trapped within the regions. You can't "Deprogram the Trump Cult victims and rehabilitate them into the decent society" if you give the Trump cult their own independent region.

Maybe people will wake up to understand our system of "law and order" never was meant to serve people, only capital.

Yea, it did the exact fuckin opposite. Like we knew it would.

What? Do you even know what Balkanization is?

What does the breaking up of a larger nation into multiple independent, hostile territories have to do with changing people's political ideologies?

Ah yes, the Balkanization strategy. Cause that worked out so well the last time.

We are gonna die anyway. At least with societal collapse there will be a chance that not everyone will die from climate collapse.

Better to understand it is inevitable and prepare for it instead of sticking your head in the sand about it.

Damn right I'm a commie.

Recycling was never supposed to work alone. It was literally the last ditch effort after Reduce and Reuse.

Also, we already figured out how to make it work, but it isn't profitable when it works, so obviously we have to use the less effective methods so that a small handful of big wigs can milk the process for personal gain.

And every time we get someone on the hook as a ring leader (Epstein) or a reporter with information on the blatant corruption of our economy (Panama Papers|Daphne Anne Caruana Galizia) they end up dead and media coverage of the investigations go dark.

Then the people involved keep the noise to a minimum and the issues get swept away in the current of The Algorithm™.

Anyone who sees has been disenfranchised of the old avenues that assisted organizing local support networks that facilitated engagement in direct action. From the erasure of third spaces, to the oppressive cost of living, to the corporate controlled media, workplace culture to avoid "talking politics"(i.e. please don't unionize against the owners), and aggrandizing of unhealthy work-life-balance as something to be proud of instead of angry at, etc, etc, etc....

The US owning class has its workers by the balls. They spent decades building a paradise of exploitation. Every small gain we fought for to be slowly undermined by subversive powers turning us against each other and our own interest.

Cause God forbid we expect men to not by misogynist perverts. Women should just cover head to toe and never show themselves in public because "consequences", yea?

Nah fuck that victim blaming mentality. Women should be able to post pictures of themselves online without worrying about perverts objectifying them.

Men need to learn to be better and held accountable for their shitty behavior.

How is this downvoted? Dude literally admits to creeping on women's profiles so he can ogle their photos. How is he any different from old school weirdos who would whack it to Sports Illustrated?

This isn't someone admitting to enjoying porn (which is still a problematic industry in itself but that's another, more complex, issue). It is someone admitting to looking at regular photos on women's profiles and fantasizing about their tits.

That's textbook objectification of women.

I'm disappointed in No Mans Sky for not using it for the Utility Menu they have. Really was a missed opportunity.

I think I could count on one hand the number of games I've played that actually used the touch features of the touch pad (swipe, pinch, etc...) rather than have it just be a big button.

I forget which game it was but they let you control the map with it. Was actually pretty good once you got used to it.

Yea his mistake was pumping the number too much. If he would have kept a steady stream of income and not get greedy, they never would have noticed him.
