Not a conspiracy when Trump literally says Elon helped secure states like Pennsylvania.

J6 was an astroturfed operation by the current dictator in charge. We currently have several grassroots protests around the country being suppressed, and have a long history of protesting and rioting for civil rights in this country.

You clearly get your news from corporate media or else you’d be aware of this.

Getting sick of Europeans falling for the blatant suppression and propaganda that our corporate-elite overlords are spoon-feeding them and using that to act superior.

It’s easy to not give a fuck based on your own material conditions.

Today I took my bike to work

Damn, I have to sit in about 8 hours of traffic per week for a commute to work. Doesn’t leave much time for exercise, you know, like bicycling.

sigh

I think it goes Luigi > Tesla Removal > and some time down the road, we’ll be in what would later be historically considered a revolution— what’s crazy is with how interconnected we are today, it could be a global revolution of some kind.

Yea, colonialism/imperialism share a lot of characteristics with parasites.

They employ people for that very reason. It’s called Public Relations. When they hear something that sounds villainous, their job is to sanitize the message before it’s sent out to the public.

But, that’s only during a neoliberal zeitgeist where companies implement half-assed programs like DEI, pink and rainbow washing advertising, etc. because it’s the mainstream. As soon as Trump took office, they shifted their strategy, which includes their public relations. They ditched the flowery language and diversity campaigns because they don’t feel they need to appeal to the consumer anymore. We are a captive consumer now.

Except for Target. They FAFO.

Precisely. Makes you wonder what sociopolitical shit some amoeba are dealing with at the moment lol

Some higher being observing Earth from a far distance must be intrigued by the pattern recognition of us destroying one specific car while completely ignoring the thousands of others.

Like, imagine when we look at single-cell organisms and see them swarm something. We’d never apply any kind of nuanced interpersonal/sociopolitical reasons to be the cause.

I did see that. I will say, as a history buff, what I find both fascinating and terrifying is that we are at a point in history where we, the people, are able to see so much current events in actual real time.

No more waiting for the newspaper or the pre-recorded news. The immediacy of media today has kind of forced a level of transparency we haven’t see before when considering events like the rise of a Hitler-type, the resurgence of white supremacist groups, police brutality, protests, riots, genocides, wars, etc.

These kinds of political acts we’re witnessing today were always happening, right? Just completely hidden from public view and delayed by days or weeks even if it is revealed to them. This hasn’t entirely changed either. I remember hearing about an Iraq War vet who came back to the States and saw a “breaking news” report about an operation happening “now”; except he was part of that operation that happened a year prior.

How do we know Elon didn’t give a “verbal” order to have them torched?

With how much companies leaks our personal data, I’m shocked this hasn’t happened sooner.

Yes, actually that was my intended next run! I just gotta remember how to set up everything.

That reminds me— I gotta do another Fallout: New Vegas run.

I think the people who often say this feel some personal guilt for how much time they feel they’ve wasted instead of doing whatever it is in life they have yet to achieve. It’s a matter of perspective.

There’s still JD Vance. Trump will be the scapegoat for all of the dirty work that was done to usher in a fascist regime. Vance will be presented as the calmer and more focused dictator.

Yea, I’m no doomer. But, I read a lot of history. Trump getting inaugurated and Elon throwing a seig heil twice solidified my belief that there will be no 2028 presidential election.

Trump will manufacture a “Reichstag Fire” moment which will be used to blame “antifa”, “leftists”, “trans”, “immigrants”, etc. and then martial law will be implemented. However, this will only come after Trump feels satisfied that the military has been purged of any high ranking officials that may dissent.

Once martial law is enforced, they will continue to purge anti-Trump dissenters and any marginalized groups.

Trump could very well pull all of this off by 2026 midterms let alone 3 years from now before the next presidential election.

The Haitian Revolution happened before the development of Marxist theory. The cataclysm of events that followed could not have been predicted but it’s what lead to the French and American revolutions.

Most of Marx’s key works were written after the Haitian Revolution and prior to the American Civil War, but he didn’t address either.

In my opinion, people do not need any predefined theory. There just needs to be a shared consciousness aligned with class interest. The Haitian Revolution was largely made possibly by the Polish who were sent there by the French to squash the revolt. But, the Polish were also seeking their own independence and defected to help the Haitians. This did not require theory just the shared concept of independence.

Eventually, the State will morph into a de facto Corporation that is no longer bound by geopolitical borders. The concept of nationalism will dissipate over time. Company towns will have their culture, customs, and traditions dictated by a top-down corporate structure; Mayor-Managers who work beneath District Manager-governors, who work beneath Regional Manager-governors who works beneath the Zone Manager-governors, who work brandy VPs, the Board, and the CEO-dictator. Corporate police will exist to protect corporate interests and will be present domestically and internationally. They would not need to identify themselves nor the employer financing them.

I believe it will be somewhere during this late-stage of global corporatism that we will begin to see a true socialist revolution— where each individual working class person recognizes their role, the power, their ability. And, are able to communicate and organize utilizing their role. We aren’t there yet but I believe we are building the society we wish to see each day with every effort of resistance.

Ironically, doing as such contributes to Elitism by creating a secondary language for those who haven't read theory from those who have

You’re still operating under the mindset that people need a specific theory, much of which has its own historical ties to political and academic elites. In reality, the working class and marginalized communities have created several ‘secondary languages’ outside of elitist tradition and decorum through slang and code-switching. It is here that the localized vernacular, the whispers of revolution, organically develop into physically organized revolution.

You keep using the word “hiding”.

If you say ‘water’ and someone else says ‘agua’, the meaning is not being “hidden”. It is simply not being communicated using the same language.

In this context, you are attempting to explain socialism to people using a vernacular that comes off as academically elitist to many working class people.

It doesn’t matter if the speaker is a self-identified leftist. It doesn’t matter how much theory they’ve read. Someone of the working class has the potential to attain class consciousness and develop a path toward revolution. We’re just not even close to a global consciousness yet.

Nation-states are in the process of being replaced by corporate-states. The masses are praising tech-elites and corporatists as ideal leaders. I think you’ll notice a trend among various kinds of “states” throughout history. People are being increasingly hostile to the concept of a state, and that is class consciousness. That hostility would extend to a Marxist-Leninist state as well.
