Projection of the contradiction of capital, capitalists states only allow freedom to those that can pay and has the illusion of free choice only when it comes to consumption.
That’s still way too many nukes for genocidal nationalists to have…
Octavia Butler and her likely prophetic Sower series on how US descent is gonna occur
honestly sad, one of the few good troops to realize how fucked the system is and then did the utmost sacrifice in protesting the system
Uh oh folks we got ourselves a propaganda consumer!
Oh cool modern day Iran-Contra is gonna happen but with more genocide
Blackout curtains, they are the only reason I’m surviving working nightshift
They aren’t built to be affordable, consumption now is on debt trapping and managing infinite payments (car, house, hell you can take a loan out for a pizza). Shits fucked and it’s fucked whether or not a worker is making an actual wage but I know I’d rather see someone not fully strugglging while doing manual labor for already overpriced cars. i.e. stop criticizing workers for wanting something better with such lib takes that “oh no this will harm my consumptuion that’s already harmed under capital”.
Majority of inflation is largely greedflation, i.e. corporate profit driven not in anyway compensational towards wage costs. Hell even the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics agrees.
Literally trying to disorient shoppers like rats in a fucking maze, truly capitalism is not dystopian in any way!
Truly AMERICA is the freest state on earth cuss you can vooooooooooote right? …Right?
By definition that’s not being a mercenary, that’s just following along the more revolutionary Marxist principle of fomenting socialist action against the West
Ahh wonderful, time for so many future children to be born horribly disfigured via contaminated drinking water. Also don’t forget all the booming cancer rates!
Honestly it just feels like he projects a lot of stuff that overlaps with fascist ideology as well as having a horrid concept of actual leftism, then again Ted having a fried brain makes sense given he decided to just randomly send out bombs to harm workers.
So far score wise I feel the kid that did in Abe via the had the best consciousness not to turn into a reactionary bent on harming innocents and instead applied his suffering to a target that has materially contributed to that situation (Abe family and the moonies). i.e. Ted is an example of a mfer with no class consciousness deciding to “solve the problem”.
Cost of flight and hotel, or cost of gas and wear to your vehicle if you drive, time needed to take off work if needing a half day’s drive to reach. Time+Money=freedom which is something American’s that live below six figures incomes just don’t fuckin’ have.
Ah, mods need to do some clearing out then
Any situation that began with land being stolen from native people via coup and gun-point means anything thereafter is a colonial and imperialist action that creates easily understandable echos of inequality and suffering. For instance lots of Native populations being unable to afford their land, or having to exist as permanent renters, and then also having to suffer ecological consequences such as guinea grass (imported by colonial cattle ranchers into Hawaii that now dries out and burns easily yet has not been removed) causing wild fires that burn entire communities (not to forget the blackrock owned electric company having shitty ill maintained equipment around such communities).
Really tempted to give this individual the PPBs…
