The ruling class is allowed to inflict infinite violence upon you, but the moderators here do not allow for you to suggest the ruling class shouldn't have a monopoly on violence.

It is typical liberal behavior, enforcing the status quo for no reason other than civility.

The US is not a democracy, it's a system where the power of the state is auctioned off to the highest bidder. Both mainstream political parties maintain this system. That is the uniparty consensus: capitalism must be protected.

To change that system we need to organize, it's not enough to just vote every few years. We need to push for the change we want to see, and build momentum for a general strike, and even a revolution.

You follow the skewed evidence that the mainstream liberal media feed you to keep you in line with the narratives that keep the powerful in power.

Must be hard sheltering your dying world view from reality all the time. You have my pity.

You sure do love deep throating that boot, huh? Are you a small business?

It does, it's called plunder.

If you can't see how layoffs are used to suppress worker rights and keep pay as low as possible then I'm sorry but you are a total fool.

Oh my god, shut the fuck up. Nobody should face social stigma for their body, full stop.

Or, you know, workplaces organize and form strong labor unions?

How does boot taste?

It can be a form of harm reduction at best. For the few minutes it takes to postal vote, I feel like it's worthwhile, personally.

It isn't just ineptitude. Of course executives at Microsoft know that they could be good and be successful with consumers. But they don't need to please consumers, they have far more important customers: the surveillance state, and the military industrial complex.

Once corporations have a near-monopoly position, they do not need to make good products anymore. Microsoft has enough money already to completely fail at everything for centuries and they'd be just fine. So they can focus on other goals, such as dismantling online anonymity for the benefit of the ruling class, who owns and controls Microsoft.
