Sci Fi is when the Asians exist

We have a word for "blurring the lines between business and government" and it's fascism.

“I’m not an anti-homeless and anti-immigrant Nazi! Here is a paper from the notably not Nazi-affiliated University of Chicago to back me up!”

University of Chicago, oh yeah, the same University that gave the world Milton Friedman and the Chicago Boys, who assisted Pinochet in establishing 30 years of dictatorship in Chile. Please tell me more about their analysis on homeless demographics gathered by “indirect methods.”

Middle aged white dudes love to point at graphs of busted ass CPI data and go “the economy is actually awesome for the average person”

Being an economist seems fun. When ppl say the material reality of their lives has gotten worse you get to chuckle and say “sounds like you’ve come down with a bad case of the vibes” before pointing to the real economy, a theoretical set of abstract values aggressively massaged for max positivity

“I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest but, compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.” – Aaron Bushnell

The number of people the U.S. has declared killing since September in strikes on small boats allegedly smuggling drugs has risen above 100, following attacks on six vessels in the past week. See our interactive tracker here: airwars.org/conflict/u-s...

It really is the same. Extrajudicial killings shouldn't be a partisan issue. Obama had kill lists he signed off on, innocent people including children were killed.

The fact that entire accounts on this website can be labelled as "Rude" should tell you everything you need to know about how serious this place is.

It's likely the unstated position is accelerationism. I assume that in the long term, they're expecting some kind of never before seen super majority to emerge after letting these freaks do the maximum amount of harm possible. Nevermind that their political projects aren't all that distinct anyways.

On the positive, the ubiquity of things like wrapped highlights that metadata has widespread use value to regular people. Using it for the purpose of entertainment is preferable to what it's usually used for (advertising, surveillance), and it says something interesting about us as creatures.

There should be an alternative word for "enshittification" that makes it very clear that the phenomenon is specifically resultant of capitalism. Systems can certainly degrade from scope creep and poor planning, but the way most experience it is specifically as an externality of the profit incentive.

And tens of millions of you still believe you can sort this out if we only we could just elect a couple more thirtysometnings who lie about being progressive.

This vote was destined to fail before the Democrats voted to further abuse our trans folk. You might wonder why there’s a recurrent proliferation of malicious, corrupt and out of touch officials in govt. Simply, the issue is systemic. Our class interest isn’t represented by this govt of the rich.

me when it happens

There is violence all over the world. People are murdered every minute somewhere in the world. There is injustice everywhere. It should be recognized outside of whatever the mainstream media is pushing for you to be concerned about at any given time. Sudan been bleeding, very little attention.

Can you explain how the genocidal, pro-regime change, pro-capitalist, pro-ecocide Democrats who don’t want to give any of us poors healthcare or living wages or housing or education plan to adequately address inequality, Bernie? Asking for ~342,000,000 citizens.

The Rules-Based International Order (RBIO) used the blockade and seizure of ships as justification for bombing Yemen. Yemeni forces were trying to halt a genocide. The US is trying to do regime change on behalf of capital. The RBIO is violating international law to enforce unilateral sanctions.

Me after an being subject to an hour straight of pro war with Venezuela propaganda on NPR

As Trump drags us into an Iraq-style war in Venezuela, 312 members of the House — including 115 Democrats — just voted to authorize over $900 billion in military spending.

That’s because they’re complicit. 48 House Democrats and 13 Senate Democrats voted for the Laken Riley Act, which gave ICE/LE the necessary legal framework for this insanity. The Democrats took no unified party stance on this issue and routinely increase the funding for LE across the country.

The empire knows that no populace will allow a system of such cruelty to stand for very long and it’s exactly why they’re building up NPSM-7 lists.

Please invite me to the 7 Up ad

A party that claims to be working class, but whose primary project is ethnic cleansing and privatization. Where else in history have we heard this before? Oh wait...

damn really makes you reflect on the numerous other times the US government and its proxies have said "terrorists" were using "human shields"

love reading on the internet

These charges were brought solely based on a conversation between the two that an off duty cop supposedly heard at a Pho restaurant???

genuinely hilarious that a Senator posted yesterday about how insider trading in Congress is bad and within 24 hours Congress got together to declare they will never accept socialism

Bourgeois Democrats use your tax money to spend all day arguing about who hates Socialism the most, followed by what genocide they should support next and then try to tell you Capitalism is “efficient”

btw, ex cop Clay Higgins (R-La.) is the only rep who voted no on this resolution. Lol

Cyclical crises, sounds familiar. It's a feature, not a bug!

Linus Torvalds being unfathomably based

They don't even bother with yellow cake lies. The US has been trying to destabilize Venezuela for decades. This isn't about defending the homeland just another page in US imperialism, invading & stealing resources of a non-white nation.

Lol, these emails were all sitting in Gmail. Google had them the entire time. As a company, Google is also notoriously cooperative with law enforcement.

Here, in case someone claims to you that things like Lysenkoism don't happen under Capitalism.

A firm that sells extraordinarily powerful phone hacking technology that has been demonstrably connected to widespread harms worldwide, including gruesome murder, and was properly sanctioned and held liable because of it ....is now in the hands of these people. That's Bad News, everyone.

Fash famously don’t do well in winter.

Theres is no Democratic Party- it’s a facade used to placate people. There are rich politicians and their corporate handlers, that is all.

Let me get this right… a sufficient number Senate Democrats appear to be willing to reopen government to alleviate air travel for upper & upper-middle income people at the expense of access to healthcare for lower income people. Yes?

Constitutional Bigfoot.

YOOO JD VANCE'S BROTHER LOST WITH A PITIFUL 18% GET FUUUUUCKED

This is dystopian but it’s not that much different from how ads normally work. They were already highly targeted. The bigger issue is the underlying data collection/surveillance apparatus that no one can opt out of or run from. It should be illegal, but it benefits Capital, so it’s not.

Just learned from Cincinnati Coalition for Community Safety of another mutual aid serve. Every Friday, 4pm until food is gone hosted by Black Power Initiative in the Avondale neighborhood. They request RSVP. If you scan QR code on flyer you can also make a donation even if you do not plan to attend.

Agitation is one of the primary tasks of a revolutionary organization. The current conditions are perfect to strike! Hold a mass meeting today - sample flyer below ⬇️

Not pictured here are the rich who's interests they represent, which is worth highlighting if we want stop these issues from happening and fix it. But agreed, they suck and this is fucked up. Thankful for the people OTG doing their best to help. Keep organizing, abolish the police & abolish ICE.
