Also why do liberals like to pretend their own theory doesn't predate Marx by decades or centuries. Marx was literally building on top of existing liberal theory

They have guys like Hobbes, who died in 1679. They'll regularly quote Plato or Aristotle too. Ask them what western society is based on and they'll start saying nerd shit about the Manga Carta or ancient Rome. Liberals are so unserious

God can you imagine if we lived in a hellishly cruel and exploitative world of industrial genocides, child labor and deregulation, like in the dirty stinky past? Then those communists might have a point, haha

base their entire political ideology off of theory that’s like 200 years old

Meanwhile they base their ideology off of the prolonged vampire euphoria that ensued after the collapse of the Soviet Union and never let that go like some boomer nostalgic for that one winning touchdown that one time during the homecoming varsity game.

capitalism was in its most grotesque form (child labour, no regulations etc.)

The more advanced bazinga form of that outsources the grotesque to the poors in distant lands

the Pythagorean theorum is outdated because the ancient Greeks would have fainted in terror at the sight of a protractor

It's wild how the people who approach capitalism like it's a religion are able to sort of just state between the lines that there isn't child labor or how there supposedly are functioning regulations in global capitalism today. Completely ignoring the exploitation their neoliberal world order requires to maintain itself.

It's not that complex, they are calling it complex the same way they call the Middle East complex. Understanding it would require engaging with something that takes some work. And if we ask a lib if a lib will "lib or not to lib", the lib will always lib. Because it takes zero effort to keep on libbing.

Damn thats crazy how i don't buy stuff produced under the command of capitalists anymore, its a very different system cause they got flatscreens. Interestingly they only produce stuff that brings them profit, another mystery why they do that just different i guess.

If someone were to say this about their beloved constitution.... And why are they acting like we aren't facing climate crisis and potential overshoot?

Everyone clapped

15-minute monologue that invokes your IQ, your depth of knowledge of Milton Friedman's literature, and your immunity to simple emotional appeals

and you will likely get a standing ovation and a few phone numbers.

Which is why neoliberals in the same community advise each other to lie about their politics to try to get laid.

this has to be satire right? the invoking iq part cant be serious

Doing the John Galt speech irl and getting spitballs fired at you the entire time

They really do like Obama.

It often doesn’t work because they think idpol is all they need to be correct on and can’t be fucked to read enough theory so that they can bullshit through it

Count on neoliberals to start relationships with lying.

I'm still not sure if those top two comments are leftists making fun of them or not

I don't get it, Dune is a critique of everything they stand for.

Are the libs irony poisoned too, or just media illiterate?

Dune is my favorite book of all time but some very credulous bazingas (and reactionary fash) get the worst possible conclusions from it.

You did it! You broke down CHUDs to their bare essentials!

Most "open office" corpo schemes have a "welcome feedback" policy that just determines who gets fired and who gets promoted based upon invisible court intrigue shit.

Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen

I imagine they're talking about Iraq? Which Obama eventually pulled out of past the timetable Bush set. And only after many successive parliamentary votes by the Iraqi people for the Americans to leave. And then during his second term it collapsed into another civil war and Obama went back to Iraq.

He waged 13 of them, so the choice is broad.

“The.” Oh you don’t know which war was “the”? Shame. Sounds like someone hasn’t been keeping up with their news.

Obviously, “the” war is the one most prominently covered by US media. The other ones are only sparkling wars.

/s

They watch lots of treats that tell them that they are cool, calm, and collected pragmatic Adults In The Room that Make The Hard Decisions and Get Shit Done

They never have to experience humility because of their bubble of treatbrained privilege. Consequently, they go through life like edgy know-it-all teenagers, forever.

I think it's an in joke satirizing leftists, but I really don't know
