The the equivalent of people making jokes about Chinese food being made from street cats. Meanwhile we have actual videos of Isn'treal and USA soldiers laughing as they throw kittens off a cliff.

At this point I feels like it's all part of one big "everything bubble." The whole damn western economy is one big ass bubble. It's just not a big, uniform bubble, but like a lumpy bubble formed by all the bubbles mushing together. And right now, AI is one of the more prominent ones.

And yeah, none of it will be allowed to pop unless something utterly extreme happens. Wall Street has spent decades changing the rules. They also pretty much have all the money now. Unlike in the past when the workers could actually do bank runs or all pull out of a stock. Now though, the working class doesn't have a pot to piss in. Wall Street has all the money.

Then they use assets from debt that you can't file bankruptcy on (like Student dept). Things got dicey with all the remote work crashing the corporate real estate markets so they had the government start attacking businesses and forcing return to office shit. They control it all at this point. If Wall Street said the bubble will pop unless we start grinding children into paste, the government would be knocking on every door. Police would be stomping children in the streets. Hell some people would willingly drag their kicking and screaming children to the grinder for the glorious economy.

"Capitalism is when buy and sell things." Is literally how liberals think. That's like, the first thing a budding leftist realizes is bullshit when they start to learn about socialism. How does someone with this ideal make it as far as Lemmygrad without understanding that? This shit reads like a fed post.

God I hope they can hold out and eradicate all the western terrorists. Niger is my hope for a communist African.

I was going to make a short little quip and agree about a few things, but like a good communist, I started really analyzing the shit out of my own thoughts and feelings about "influencers" and internet discourse. And then typed it out as I thought about it. Lol. Just a warning I get a little long winded and rambly.

spoiler


I agree with a lot of this and get where you are coming from. There are a lot of trash tier “Left” wing channels popping up, but honestly, after thinking about it, the only ones I really complain about are the obvious psyops shit and other fake left, libshit types, and the “purity test”ers that just want to be divisive (although a lot of those probably fall into the first category). I feel we need less low effort shit but we do need MORE influencers in general that are all doing the same, or similar, communist influencing. I mean, decently put together content. Idc if 10, 20 other communist podcasters are talking about the same anti-capitalist stuff. The more “quality” voices, the better. This not only helps prevent the “cult” like mentality but also helps fight the reactionary bullshit. If there's only a handful of “good ones” and one turns out to be a turd, people will stay because there’s not that many other options. If there’s a dozen or more other options though? If because of those options, people don;t feel like they have an allegiance to one, or a few figures?

Then there's the reactionary influencers we have to deal with.. We NEED people online to combat them. The simple truth is, people don’t go outside. Hell, in the west there's barely anyplace TO go. SO people sit at home and watch media on their phones, and people want their “slop.” People want content. They CRAVE content. Because they don’t want to FEEL alone, but our society promotes individualism. It all but forces it. If we want to grow our own movements and actually get people outside we need influencers and we need voices so people don’t feel like they are alone in their beliefs.

Movements don;t grow without voices and they don't grow by retreating from the greater online spaces. They grow by influencing them. The right is out there throwing cash at any POS willing to spew their propaganda. And it's working. That shits everywhere and it doesn't just make more fascists, it is encouraging the existing ones. Making them feel less isolated, and emboldening them to go out and do fascist shit. People are way less likely to do that when they feel alone and isolated. The more voices we have pushing back against them, and the more we have giving a general feel of pro communist sentiment the better for us and worse for them.

As for why people don’t leave Rddit (I mean there's other sites but lets be real here, you meant rddit)), simply put, there is more content there. As said before, people crave content. They crave interaction. Lemmygrad is wonderful. I love it here, but I still go to reddit. Why? Cause I see a wider range of news and viewpoints even though I do stick to the mostly left subs and stay out of mainstream subs. There’s more posters and more news getting shared. There are fewer true communist subreddits but more commenters, and I have seen some subs grow from being more radlib to leaning much harder communist. It's good to see. And its good to keep influencing. Which leads into another point.

As long as I'm there, I have the opportunity to actually tell people about lemmygrad. The average person, or new baby communist, isn't going to know about lemmy, but damn near everyone knows about reddit to some degree. If we want people to come to lemmy we have to not only tell them about it but try and push them here. So, I wont retreat from reddit just because there are libs there. I think using both sites is the best approach. We need to make reddit commy subs a pipeline to lemmy. Not cut it off. So i wont give people crap for using reddit… IF the still come by lemmy more because, to be blunt here, we tend to lack engagement a lot. Posts with 50 upvotes are considered pretty high here and you won’t see a single comment. It feels dead here sometimes.

As for making money off their streams or podcasts…. Honestly, the grifters are gonna grift. But we also have to realize that good content takes time and planning… and money. If we attack every person for trying to get funding to produce GOOD communist content, we won’t have any.

And I wanna follow all this up with, I'm not saying give up on going outside and talking to people, or to not go to protests or whatever, and to just sit online and argue with libs and bots. I'm just saying, like it or not it's here, it's staying, and if we want to influenced and grow the movement, we are going to have to use it and suffer in it.

I dream of a day when China just starts capturing all the Starlink space junk and launching it into the atmosphere to free up orbital space.
They will clean up the earth, and the space around it.

Must be just a coincidence.... right after the Victory Day celebrations where he met with Xi, Maduro, Putin, etc that suddenly the AQ/ISIS affiliates ramp up their attacks in BF.

Also I'm sure it's just coincidence that BF and the AES nations have inspired other countries like Namibia and Senegal to begin unraveling the claws of western imperialism.

That's it. That's the post. I saw a bunch of anti-Russia posts today. Way more than normal and they are deploying their bot army to the max on them.

If they actually do rule Ukraine as performing a genocide then holy shit it's going to be amazing watching the liberals loose their fucking minds.

Meanwhile all us MLs will have to watch our smug levels. Being THIS right all that time can potentially cause deadly levels of "smug" to accumulate in the body.

Imagine seeing what China has done for its people and the members for the belt and road initiative and thinking they are worse than the US dedicating even more money to war is better. People literally just lap up all the piss from the oligarch masters.

There are so many instances of the CPC just up and forgiving debt from help they have donated to so many countries that are part of this initiative. No strings attached. The US meanwhile has being doing actual debt trap shit for decades. The information is out there. All you have to do is fucking look instead of regurgitating reddit bullshit some fed posted because that site is astroturfed to shit. China is trying to actually build up the world while the US tries to bomb more of it to rubble.

I literally went off earlier in a group chat about this very thing. Like, this is the most damning evidence against the Uyghur genocide bullshit. We have the entire Western media, the greatest propaganda machine on Earth, trying to suppress anything coming from Palestine and failing. Meanwhile we are supposed to believe China can do this to a supposedly even larger population without so much as a video inside on of these complexes? Like one dude with a smartphone doesn't exist. Nothing leaked? No videos of prisoners being dragged to organ harvesting? Nothing. Just vague bullshit and made up stories and libs gobble it up because they are the dumbest fucks on earth.

One of the first casualties of the whole protest was an unarmed PLA officer that was tied to a bus by the protestors and burnt alive. Then mocked and photographed. They never share that photo around though.

I like that we have/need new books to re-report information that was widely known decades ago because of how easy it is to sell propaganda to the west. We have actual documentaries, made by the west at the time of Tiananmen, that completely contradicts the massacre narrative that was invented years later. lol. Libs really will believe anything as long as it comes from the mouth of some oligarch backed talking head.
