Hear, hear. I prefer socialist revolution of course but in the meantime I'm willing to compromise.

Yep. All of this. They want the "good" immigrants and the "middle" classes who can afford expensive education and travel, and not the lower classes that their own society is built on the backs of. Their base is just too easily blinded by racism to see the class war for what it is.

They don't need to reinstate slavery, they already are able to employ people at wages below what it costs to feed, clothe, and house them. They don't care how we live as long as they are making more money than last year, which includes profiting from our consumption. No, all they have to do is gradually replace their workforce with workers that accept lower compensation. Poverty, homelessness, recessions, debt, unemployment, these are all necessary components of capitalism. They keep the workforce desperate for any wage it can get. Capitalists have referred to it as "tempering" the workforce.

Absolutely, I fully agree with you. We are experiencing the same depression of wages in the engineering sector because of these abusive practices. I still live quite comfortably as an engineer but I am watching the conditions develop for it to be taken from me as it has from others.

I question how it can be that I interact with more foreign nationals than the marginalized peoples of my own country, especially those like myself whom I grew up with that have all the same drive I do if not more. I am watching as the ladder that got me here is being stuffed with exploitable labor and pulled back up, when more should be going down and leading to more diverse careers that actually serve humanity. Unlike my industry whose entire business model is taking an essential service from our countrymen so they could sell it back to us in a form that regularly kills and financially burdens us.

Sorry about your health situation. It really sucks that we live under such oppressive conditions, with leaders would allow our needs to be deprived from us simply because we do not have the wealth that they are accountable to. It feels like a cliché to say money is the root of all evil but every day it gets harder to avoid such an apparent truth.

the prisons are all full, the police are underfunded

No way you actually think this is reality. No way enforcement could just be a deeply inefficient way of dealing with crime and the low hanging fruit along with making a show of token arrests is really all they care about.

No lol the country with the largest prison population, that generates private profit by holding its people captive and hands out billions of dollars to police, the DEA and the FBI to capture them, well it just needs to hand out even more billions of dollars of "resources" to these agencies so they can lock up the real criminals and then crime will be properly dealt with!

We couldn't even convince her when an election was on the line, against a man they themselves called a fascist!! They would rather see fascism in the US than sanction Israel! They would punish us for not falling in line with genocide!!!! Holy shit dude what's it gonna take to realize that you are already living under fascism (lite) and just as brainwashed as any MAGA voter!!!!

I think it's talking about rows of seating. Not the grille.

Get organized with a socialist, revolutionary, anti-war, and/or anti-fascist organization near you that is visibly putting in the work and regularly mobilizing. Recruit more people to your cause and form coalitions with organizations that align with your values. I can personally endorse the PSL but certainly do the research for yourself to find a group that speaks to you personally & whose work you find to be the most fulfilling.

marginalizing the majority

After the United States and its allies refused over and over to negotiate on existential security concerns, like the expansion of NATO membership to countries on Russia’s border and the deployment of advanced missile systems to Eastern Europe, Russia launched the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.

The basic logic was that the longer the war drags on, the greater the human and economic cost to Russia, and therefore the more likely it is that the United States will achieve its long-standing goal of overthrowing the Russian government — or at least severely diminishing its power. “We want to see Russia weakened,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin openly stated in April after a visit to Kiev.

U.S./NATO escalation came not only in the form of ever-increasing amounts of aid, it also involved more and more powerful types of weaponry as the fighting went on. As Russia’s opening offensive of the war stalled, instead of taking the opportunity to negotiate peace, U.S. officials pressed Ukraine to launch major counter-offensives.

When it came to the delivery of tanks, even Washington’s NATO allies were reluctant. [...] Immediately following their success with tank deliveries, the most hardline elements in the West began to push to go even further and send fighter jets. This is not the behavior of people who have even the slightest interest in a peaceful resolution.

The war appears to have, at least for now, settled into a grinding stalemate [...] If the war continuing means that there is a chance that they could achieve one of their two central goals by weakening or overthrowing the Russian government, then the number of lives lost and upended are of no consequence whatsoever to the Pentagon warmakers.

And Russia claims to have been open to a negotiated settlement since before fighting even commenced. In a major national address on Tuesday, Vladimir Putin stated, “in December 2021, we officially submitted draft agreements on security guarantees to the USA and NATO.

Sounds like one to me

A more recent article from this outlet

Oh & reminder Stallin apologists are class traitors.

Who told you that? The American capitalist class? You really trust what they have to say about the leader of a socialist country they were trying to justify a war with, and prevent their own working class from getting any ideas, at all costs?

I invite you to challenge all beliefs that have been formed under a state which finds itself threatened by socialist revolution.

My guy 😭 you don't know how wrong you are. I'm a black woman from a single mother that paid my own way to a bachelor and career in engineering. I am putting in the work, I am out on the streets in my community, organizing with a revolutionary party. I invite you to read through my comment history. Check your fucking privilege.

The Republicans and Democrats are both right wing parties of capital. Neither of them are on the side of the people and they absolutely were not about to give you welfare reform. They are beyond cleaning up.

"HR: Have they said they are a Nazi or that they hated Jews?"

Yes, they have endorsed the great replacement theory.

Yes. At best, he is an apologist for Israel/Zionism which does not represent Jewish people as a whole. Zionists hated Holocaust victims and were Nazi collaborators.

I imagine this is the kind of nonsense political take one develops when they go through life only skimming a few grade school social studies textbooks and actively disregarding all other reality or thought.

noooo you HAVE to enforce borders with violence!!!!! How else will you keep out all the cretins from nations whose infrastructure you've destroyed and resources you've plundered!!! You can't possibly take care of all those people, think of tHe EcOnOmY!!!

hahaha that's so funny guy you really think this is a normal and well adjusted view of the world. Those scare quotes around uplifting minorities is a cherry on top. You're so devoid of empathy you can't even fucking imagine a world of people that actually care about each other for the sake of their humanity.

I'll take a "stallin apologist" over a capitalist that cares more about his stocks than his fellow man. Any fucking day of the week.

You're right, that would be a concern if I felt important enough for China to give a fuck about me and what I have to say as a foreign national. Too bad that me only exists in your imagination and the real me understands that the world does not revolve around their travel and internet activity.

Fair enough on the description part but Ukraine is absolutely a proxy war on the US end of it.

That's fair enough, what you're doing is already far more than most people. That's awesome. Just trying to show the audience out there that there is more to be done, we can't allow defeatism to suppress activism in a country where fervent, unrelenting activism is the only way shit gets done 💪

Thanks comrade ✌️ same to you

agitprop gonna agitprop ¯(ツ)/¯ being propaganda doesn't inherently make something bad, it's what the propaganda is in service of. This propaganda is in service of leading America away from its fascistic, ecologically and socially destructive, global hegemony. I tend to think that's pretty good but opinions may differ.
