And then a short time later, an absolutely massive amount of those exact young people voted for him. He could come out and directly say “This is a message to the youth. I will not make your life better. I will only expand wars and keep the money flowing up.” And then MILLIONS of young voters would vote for him. I can’t think about it too hard or else it kind of breaks my brain

Yeah it’s worth thinking about asking that same question about British North American colonies not in 2024 but in 1682. The answer is much more easily understood as oh wait yes they should leave now

Why would anyone vote Green over PSL. Even if they aren’t on the ballot you could write it in

A fascist made a business connection and saved a life today. Have you?

Yeah that hit me more than I thought it would. Right as someone saying “1.9 million people are starving” the band just starts right up. Idk why but physically playing music over it instead of digital music just makes it a lot more unsettling to me

start fucking

If I remember right, originally ninjas had like their own specific clan that rich people from other clans would hire to basically do a hit on their competitors/enemies/rivals. Taking money from rich people to kill other rich people ain’t too bad of work

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in some time

Thinking about it, in the event of collapse, there is an astounding number of guns in the US, and most of those are owned by essentially brownshirts. BUT, they’re still working class. Will be a matter of how soon can bonds of solidarity form between common people, and will that happen faster than right wing movements can coalesce around killing out groups

I think there will come a point where the consequences of climate change are so bad that it simply isn’t possible to do anything about it apart from collective organization and a communist way of life. I’m sure as ecosystems collapse certain countries like the US will become more fascist at that point, but a fascist construct with its inherent capitalist mode of production can’t deal with mass environmental calamity in the way that collectivism can. Seems to me that communism is inevitable because at some point it will start to mean whether or not our species can keep going. That feels pretty far off though, I doubt that’s an our lifetime thing

China literally isn’t doing anything bad on an international level, they’re just building their economy using moderate state control, and the West can’t take it so they have to invent a new kind of “violence” China is enacting in the form of economic violence against the economies of other countries…and not for one god damn second will 99% of Americans stop to contrast the actual economic violence of US sanctions against say the Cuban people, vs the made up economic violence of Chinese downward pressure on renewable energy commodity costs. It’ll work, and my brain will keep melting

No I think you’d see more roundness and blotches

Every character voiced like Splinter from TMNT

Sounds like a fair trade

Lmao “I wish these two evil people would die”

“How dare you”

I like to throw out “the principal contradiction” at work sometimes referring to the root conflicts of whatever problems we’re talking about lol

Because chess is an illusion. There is no end. There is only the beginning

Here comes their comment section losing their minds lol. Some of the worst commenters out there

Make something with leftover food and napkins and forks and stuff at the end of every meal

Is this a picture that’s been making the rounds as a legitimate one or something
