Fuck's sake, not this braindead take again.

New And Reformed Floridaman, or Old Floridaman? Because honestly I can parse that as a good deed or a bad one depending on how you want to frame it

The book he wants you to buy:

Postmodern neomarxism is LITERALLY destroying the West! You think that's FUNNY, bucko!?

What a terrible day to be literate

See, now THIS is inaccurate.

Relaxation hadn't been invented at the time

This is what I mean when I talk about how no amount of suffering will turn people to our side.

Suffering will not cure these fuckwits.

Yeah, if a siren texted me this I couldn't promise I wouldn't accept tbh

She can make me worse dead

Holy hell

Sirens were ancient creatures of mythology who sang to passing ships, inducing those onboard to throw themselves into the sea.

No one really does, this is like a puzzle with two pieces in the correct place.

Just a joke about how content creation is sometimes seen as juvenile, especially for men.

Fucking fascist ghouls. Good on Mamdani for not putting up with it, though it's horrifying that this is already a fucking concern.

Definitely mugging for the audience

... yes, labor is generally a pretty key piece of economic activity. There's extensive archeological evidence about the processes of Ancient Egyptian economics, including discussions of obligation, payment, negotiation, etc.

I haven't seen a Pixar movie in forever, but if they don't...

Center-left, if we are using those definitions for far-left and left, would probably be social democracy - ie a genuine attempt to redistribute wealth within the framework of a capitalist system.

Center would be Rhineland capitalism - attempts to make a capitalist system with basic controls and direction for the interests of the people or the state.

Center-right would probably be whatever the fuck incoherent shite America has been doing the past 100 years or so, where there's regulations and a welfare state but the government itself is constantly campaigning against them and shaming its users.

Right would then be the Reaganite trickle-down fever-dream where laws are a suggestion and the accumulation of wealth to the elite is an end in and of itself.

Thus putting far-right as outright fascism or ancapistan.

Where there's a whip, there's a way!

Not necessarily. Most people would have been nominally free, and most economic activity would have come from them.
