The opening includes a clear rhetorical construct of how the movement of commodities (freight) is privileged over the movement of people (passengers).

From political economy itself, using its own words, we have shown that the worker sinks to the level of a commodity, and moreover the most wretched commodity of all; that the misery of the worker is in inverse proportion to the power and volume of his production; that the necessary consequence of competition is the accumulation of capital in a few hands and hence the restoration of monopoly in a more terrible form; and that, finally, the distinction between capitalist and landlord, between agricultural worker and industrial worker, disappears and the whole of society must split into the two classes of property owners and propertyless workers.

Found this comment on a post about how China is "doing capitalism better then the west, socialism is achieved through capitalism, etc".

I was expecting some weird takes in the thread, but this was beyond parody.

I was very surprised to see the black sun emblem on the intro graphic.

In 2024, a jury convicted Guo of stealing hundreds of millions from his followers. The New Federal State of China, the harbor ceremony, the nonprofits, and the media companies were all part of an elaborate con Guo used to “lock in” those supporters before hitting them up for investments, prosecutors said a sentencing memo last week.

Guo, who has been jailed as a perceived flight risk since his March 2023 arrest, continues to deny guilt. His lawyers argue, in their own sentencing memo, that his conviction was the result of the Chinese government’s “relentless and overwhelmingly powerful targeting of him.” The memo also suggests, without evidence, that Guo’s support for Trump, in particular his role in the publication of explicit pictures of Hunter Biden prior to the 2020 election, contributed to his prosecution.

Police reported that the latest incident occurred on Saturday at a Target store on Southwest College Road, where a teen drove a lawnmower through the store, damaging a door. Authorities identified Janek Szkaradek as the driver and Luke Charske as the person who recorded the stunt.

Authorities say the video was intended for social media, but the behavior created a dangerous situation for customers and employees inside the store.

The investigation revealed a second incident the night before at a Culver’s on the same road. Police stated Szkaradek went inside the restaurant and used a leaf blower indoors, again as part of a filmed stunt. Authorities said this disrupted business and raised safety issues.

“These actions endangered people and caused property damage. They are crimes, not harmless videos,” police issued a statement urging others to consider carefully before trying similar acts.

Found this while randomly searching for "playertariat". I thought maybe I had spontaneously created a new word in a badposting comment, but seem like I'm too late by a few years.

Never played this game, but I think I get the idea of the post more or less.
