an acronym i have never heard of in my life until just now,
Well that just proves you aren’t qualified to be a part of this conversation.
Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense.
Anybody who’s been pictured smiling and shaking hands with that many Nazis is close enough to make no odds.
Local policies seem to cap the rent to protect renters, so they make up some bullshit extra fees to bypass those caps.
And a functional local government wouldn’t allow that kind of sophistry and would treat that exactly like illegal rent increases. But you can’t have both landlords existing and any level of functional government.
Mao was far too kind, tbh
there will still be enough Democratic voters who were politically shaped during the Cold War and would never vote for anything with “socialism” in its name.
Then they deserve the fascism that the Neoliberal ghouls they’ve been supporting for decades have enabled. Too bad the rest of us will have to suffer because the fucking ShitLib wastrels are too Lead-addled to get out of the way.
In the 100,000 years of humanity it hasn’t been
In the 100,000 years of humanity it has been, most of that time. In the 8000 years of the existence of domination systems we’ve been moving away from that ideal and not towards it, and for the 300 years capitalism has existed we’ve been sprinting away from it like it was an apex predator, but it was the norm up until fairly recently on the scale of human evolution. There were even a few generations between the invention of the ox-driven plow and the waves of kurgan invasions where people likely got to enjoy the benefits of agriculture and urbanization without the crushing demands of laboring for the good of an oppressor.
So in your mind causing further injustice to stop an injustice is morally acceptable? You said any means necessary.
Punishing the perpetrators of injustice or violently preventing them from doing further injustice is not an injustice, so your entire point makes no sense.
Yes, and from your comment history I’m quite sure you haven’t, but you’ve absorbed some US State Department propaganda and mistaken it for research, so you have that going for you.
Well, what did you think was going to happen after putting profit-seekers in charge of the food supply and then removing any oversight?
The time when all of that happened was from the beginning of humanity up until about the late 1600s/early 1700s
The average Medieval peasant worked less than half as much as a modern worker. And enjoyed a standard of living much closer to their global average than the modern worker in most cases as well.
Capitalism is a death cult.
.
No forgiveness ever for any ICE Nazi. Nuremburg style trials for absolutely every last sunuvaremoved in the agency, with minimum sentencing of 10 years, maximum of hanging, for anyone convicted of civil rights violations or following illegal orders.
What a beautifully ableist take.
How’d
work with the normal rather than flat out rejecting it and somehow thinking you are special.
Work out for any minority group in history?
Spoiler: not well.
That’s not reality and never has been.
But it could be, and anyone who learns that it’s not reality and has any reaction other than “well why the fuck not?” and a determination to make that the reality by any means necessary isn’t a good or even neutral person.
Your complacency is actually a bigger problem than the greed of the people benefitting directly from the world’s injustices.
The only appropriate or morally acceptable reaction to seeing injustice is to resolve to stop it by any means necessary.
“Everyone who attended a Storm game deserves to feel welcome”?
Fuck that and fuck her. Transphobia, Nazis, and other filth don’t deserve to feel welcome anyfuckingwhere. Definitely won’t be buying any Storm tickets until/unless they apologize for allowing the little Nazis-in-training to even enter the building carrying their hate propaganda.
Acting before would be best, but we’re at least a generation away from having enough people willing to engage in meaningful resistance to make doing so anything other than a fancy method of suicide.
To be clear: I hope from the bottom of my little commie heart that I’m wrong and I’ve totally misread the moment, but I don’t think I have.
Both of these statements are correct. And if you blame the locked cases on shoplifting rather than blaming the shoplifting on the fact that greedy, soulless merchants will jack up their prices in response to sunrises, sunsets, or passing fancies, then fuck you along with capitalism.
It’s a start. When they get to at least two thirds and purge all the Third Way Boomers from any positions of power they might almost be a party worth supporting again.
If you aren’t “extremely angry” most of the time you’re either not paying attention or you’re part of the problem.
Probably looks a lot like this:
We have to re-normalize anger against injustice.
Anger is pathologized primarilybecause our entire economic and social order is built of pure, unadulterated injustice, and if you’re allowed to be angry at injustices, the entire system might collapse.
Anyone trivializing or pathologizing anger is spreading the propaganda of the ruling class whether they mean to or not.
That’s a good dog!
