I understand it for disabled people and I understand it for very busy people such as families with young kids but I don’t understand the majority of people who use it. Just go get it…

I mean they don’t call them National socialists for nothing. I’m not the least bit surprised that fascists are talking socialist adjacent talking points but rebranded. IIRC even the Nazis had some redeeming social welfare programs (for good aryan Germans, fuck everyone else) that were adjacent to socialism… to capture the interest of those who would vote for real socialists.

Kinda like how Starbucks has decent workers benefits compared to their competitors - to prevent unionization. Or how FDR enacted the new deal to prevent actual socialists from gaining power.

I hope I’m getting my point across…

What the actual fuck

Right? Wild how they couldn’t go after trump for J6, had to take four years just to get the ball fucking rolling just in time for the charges to bounce off Teflon don.

Luigi should run for office. I don’t know which, he’s probably not old enough to be president, but he should run for something. Then he can’t be charged because it’s interfering with an election, right?

To be fair Luigi is a member of the bourgeoisie.

Also re cop city, that was going to happen anyways. the state has been steadily consolidating power and removing the ability of meaningful dissent for decades now - arguably since 9/11 but even before they were clamping down on the left although with less of a security state apparatus.

The half or so that own property and 401Ks do. Those numbers are shrinking and will continue to shrink under grinding neoliberalism, continuing wealth concentration, and collapsing empire.

And they’ll blame anybody but the elites responsible. If only they’re good little boys and girls they too can be members of the elite. The idea that society will revolt en masse is comical in 2024. Unlike the late 1800s early 1900s there was not nearly as much propaganda and brainwashing as there is today. The elites already won when it comes to manufacturing consent for labor slavery.

Which is why stochastic terrorism will be the way forward. Pluck off enough elites and they’ll be frightened into serious reforms.

History rhymes it doesn’t repeat - this revolution will not be a repeat of any prior one.

Yeah. Listening to JD Vance of all people talk eloquently and with a populist message about the east Palestine train derailment really took me by surprise. The guy - our future far right VP - sounded like Bernie sanders.

I think the political parties are doing a really weird shift and most people haven’t caught on yet.

French Revolution deposed rulers. Didn’t take many to get shit done. ML is a whole bunch of organizing people who’ve been brainwashed for a century to suddenly lose their brainwashing. Doesn’t work.

Disagree. French Revolution. Depose our rulers.

Also, y’all MLs are stuck in the past. What worked in 1900 isn’t going to work today. Stochastic terrorism picking off our leaders one by one is how things are going to go in 2024.

You’re not going to “revolutionize” the public. Most don’t give a shit. They care about their property values and their 401Ks. Y’all live in fucking la la land where it’s still the late 1800s.
