I was in hiding back in those days. Because I do think about the roman empire a lot lol. But that’s because I like historical materialism and the collapse of that demon slave empire is one of my favorite bedtime stories.

It wasn’t because I was a chud. I hate the Romans

Reminds me of 99% of Americans I’ve met. Including family

“I don’t think the shooting was necessarily 100 percent justified,” Mr. DePoppe said.

Mr. Dope

“I can see both sides of it. Obviously when you drive into someone that has a gun pointed, that’s probably not the smartest idea. But at the same time, why do you have a gun pulled in that situation? And then to walk away on your body cam and be using foul language toward the person?”

“I think it’s great to start to get some of the illegal immigrants out of the state,” he added. “I think it’s bad how they are going about it.”

These folks would say the same thing about any atrocity and genocide happening to somebody else. No different than a German or pIssraeli saying “I can see both sides of it. I mean we really should be extermimating x. But jeez do we have to make a scene when doing so?”

Mr. DePoppe had never seen an ICE agent in town. He said many residents see the Twin Cities — also known as “the Cities” in these parts — as almost another world. “Until something happens up here, it’s not a problem for anyone up here,” he said

That’s the mentality of every right wing sack of shit. It’s happening to them, not to me. Until it happens to me, it isn’t real. Until it happens to me I won’t give a shit. If anything I’ll actually support the death machine and cheer for it like a game. Cheer on the nexus because the blood isn’t mine and I’ve never had to see the bodies crushed. And if the tormenters find you, then you had to have deserved it surely. If they find me, they’ve gone too far.

… Sick fucking people in a sick fucking country. The sooner this place becomes ancient history the sooner the rest of the world can actually get along and do something good.

The good Christian Spanish would never slaughter their own people! Good heavens.

All that “bad stuff” is part of the past. It’s called history and it has recently magically ended. Countries don’t have colonies now, especially the US! We aren’t some kingdom. God’s in his heaven, all is right with the world

/s just in case lol

Perhaps it autocorrected from autarkic, meaning a self-sufficient economic system?

No lie that’s literally what I read and thought this was a badpost.

But now, instead, I’m just aware of missing out on a cool sounding Eisenstein film on Capital

Hence Pink Houses and Born in the USA being the go-to song for any American politician’s, campaign. Many things just go over Americans’ collective heads lol

I’ve definitely had that thought too. Last year I fell behind. And I debated on posting comments on older threads where nobody would revisit them

I feel like I have to wonder—is Natalie Wynn truly, organically this stupid

I definitely don’t do as much as I should or honestly even wish I could. It takes a level a dedication that I can’t even confidently say I have (but hopefully can).

You don’t need to think of it as a failure though if you haven’t yet been involved. It’s a space you can still grow into. I can’t outright say it isn’t “moral”, though, because it is so tied in with what it is that makes one a leftist. And that can come from some different places. And I believe that it is tied in with our personal development and ethics.

But imo the outward and inward struggles move together. So as you work on one it can help develop the other. And so the process goes. And I’m still early on this too

Ours was too! And even though we had libs with questionable takes on Maduro, they still showed up! And a.) we need the numbers and b.) most people aren’t lost causes. :)

The masses don’t want another war

And sorry if the tone in the original message was snarky for anyone reading. But it is a friendly reminder that grass engaging in the struggle IS the antidote to doomerism.

It’s dialectical materialism folks. You got to touch the grass and the dirt

I went to a demonstration today, instead of reading Hexbear’s doomer faction’s comments.

It felt nice

Like my FIL telling me how he’s starting to think that inflation mostly hurts poor people.

Some people take a while to reach lol

Meanwhile, The AI World, based in Pakistan, contains AI-generated shorts of catastrophic flooding in Pakistan, with titles like Poor People, Poor Family, and Flood Kitchen. Many of these videos are set to a soundtrack called Relaxing Rain, Thunder & Lightning Ambience for Sleep. The channel itself has 1.3bn views.

Not everything needs to have an app

Not everything needs to be online

Just make it a fucking button

They’re trying so hard
