  • as with our last civil war it will be our bottom tier of society pitted against itself. the sides will, as with last time, be truly horrifically and abjectly evil vs evil but in a way that the most marginalized have some hope of survival under. our only way to a better society afterwards will be to actually do reconstruction this time and not to just half ass it because for the second side they view profit in being gentle to the truly evil.

    funny how everytime there's a big war about whether or not Ur-Fascism is bad, the winning side selects a handful of losers to protect and keep safe, and then those losers become the basis for a new fascist movement. see also: operation paperclip

  • the goal was to enforce poverty, not to resolve it. this is the system working exactly as intended

  • it gets darker and more insidious than that. america's definition of poverty is unique unto ourselves. the rest of the world views poverty as a condition in which a person is unable to do all the human things humans do. poverty wages, everywhere else, is anyone not making a living wage. but we, in our incredible exceptionalism, defined our own definition of poverty, and then refuse to acknowledge that more and more people are slipping into it.

    the key to understanding why we refuse to acknowledge this is because poverty is enforced. it is always enforced. the natural order of nature is for humans to care for eachother. the greedy parasites who control us though need us to be desperate enough to keep us from realizing we provide them with comforts we do not benefit from because we're just trying to scrape out a basic living from table scraps.

  • we're probably going to have a civil war of some variety. that's my prediction at least

  • Fascists are universally serial losers

    1. A state can just repeal their own minimum wage
    2. The existence of states using the federal minimum wage means it matters to the people who live in those states
    3. Poverty anywhere indicates the possibility of poverty everywhere. Being somewhere "without poverty" does not make you safe from poverty. It just means you are less proximate to poverty for now
  • do you think pp has any idea how much you have to suck for everyone to rally around a fucking banker of all people? like, you're so goddamn evil that everyone's like "we gotta make sure that the embodiment of the banality of evil is in charge to keep that psycho over there away from power"

  • al capone was a weird swiss cheese brained moron. highly effective at extortion though

  • and the nature of their 1000s of experiments going at the same time isn't methodical at all. they don't actually know what iteration of google search was the best and most useful one. there's no going back to what worked because at no point did they ever know what worked. the modern shitty google search is the best version we will ever get to use again.

    google embedded them as a core piece of information infrastructure and then demolished themselves. now our information networks fundamentally do not work anymore

  • time to switch to Qwant, ecosia, or duckduckgo

  • this is part of why it's important for everyone to pay attention to the asymmetric warfare being conducted in Ukraine. for one, it's a genocide, don't look away and speak for their liberation just like i hope everyone is speaking up for all colonized peoples, like Mayans, Darfurians, Congolese, Palestinians, and Uyghers. for another the skills demostrated may become necessary in the near future

  • that's why i've been documenting the horrors i can find evidence of in my town. too many white liberals think because nothing bad has happened to them means that nothing bad could be happening. their peaceful homogonized neighborhoods are pretty evenly split between white liberals and white conservatives, and they get along fine with the conservatives and assume that's how the cons treat everyone.

    this is part of how the overton window shifts rightward. the more isolated someone is, the easier they are to manipulate. these isolated white liberals lack diversity of perspective but value open mindedness as a virtue. the only people they encounter who disagree with them look like them, talk like them, and eat like them. the only difference is they don't value open mindedness. they want to maintain a community of only people who look like them, talk like them, and eat like them.

    resisting fascism starts at home. it starts by choosing to inherit the stories of our past and speak of this truth to others. coalition building is a process of both finding people you can trust and a process of notifying people that their one PoV isn't the only way to see the world and that they might have work to do

  • agreed. i didn't downvote the thread starter because this is how our media always writes about prison deaths, but that's on purpose. they shape the way we talk about these things in order to shape how we think about it. i think the thread starter is legitimately trying to disseminate exactly what happened, but the hegemonic language of the elite has infiltrated how they discuss these things through no specific fault of their own. i left a reply to the thread starter that was meant to directly critique the institutions and systems that lead to this without calling the thread starter themself the problem.

  • there's a more recent and more accurate comp from germany who had a bad moustache inspired by charlie chaplan's moustache. he, individually, is why no one wears their facial hair like that anymore

  • it's telling that the starburies were worse shoes than jordans, but they weren't $150 worse. if their workers had been paid, they probably still would have cost more, but they engaged in the exact same sweat shop labor as nike and adidas and offered a product for nearly 1/10th the price

  • this has always been the dirty trick of fascism. you won't get a cushy job for running off your marginalized neighbor or isolating yourself from the countries you've long exploited. you will instead become the new marginalized class, and your community will become the exploited colony of the empire.

  • how many of these crimes is 47 himself personally guilty of?

  • how many cease fires has he kept firing though now?
