What a great demand for genuinely transformational reforms. A shorter workday with no reduction in pay is a totally valid way to make gains as workers. Time enough to live your life must include time to understand and participate in meaningful discussions about the politics that effect your life.

Obama every month of his presidency: "sorry for doing a war crime by striking any Muslim I want and misusing the post-9/11 special use of force directive" Pete Hegseth every month: "I did a war crime that is so much cooler than Obama's woke and gay warcrimes"

Guy who just listened to @gregk.co.uk's podcast @bloodwork.show on the economy of violence: "Getting a lot of Blood Work Vibes from this"

The rich are going to be very surprised when the youth are not won over by upgrading from a slumlord taking most of their money, to a bank taking most of their money. Being exploited by financial capital instead of the petty bourgeois is an upgrade for sure. But it's not liberation either.

I don't see a lot of discussion of the leverage this gives the administration. Using similar imagery, slogans, and having similar ideas to groups on the FTO list has been sufficient to open terrorism investigations against Americans. Now that applies to everyone left of Bernie Sanders.

Eric Adams when Zohran Mamdani leads the workers of New York in an insurrection doomed to fail because they are too far ahead of the rest of the American proletariat be like: "New York City is the Petrograd of America"

Your haters become your waiters when you are seated at the table of success

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Oh my god it was right after the chorus dropped too

Baseball will be made illegal unless you kill your cop uncle at Thanksgiving

Just saw a video of Italians stuck in traffic talking about how important these protests are, how they are glad to be part of the movement. Italy should declare war on Israel now before the government collapses. It's over. They've got people stuck in traffic supporting the protests causing traffic.

Thanks to The Onion everyone in America can walk into their local theater and say "one ticket to Jeffrey Epstein: Bad pedophile, please and thanks"

If I was CEO of Disney I would put out more remasters of Treasure Planet than Bethesda has of Skyrim and I'd be richer than God for it.

The school shooter type who wants to make their suicide as many other peoples' problem as possible seems to be moving on from school shootings as they learn political targets get a bigger media frenzy. I expect this to continue as the FBI selectively releases information with the same goals in mind

The end of this article discusses how xAI has sent no CSAM reports to authorities while other generative AI companies have submitted nearly half a million this year and workers have been quitting over the volume of CSAM they are reviewing while training their chatbots

You have to be shot in the head levels of stupid to think a bill limiting the power of the aristocratic house of Parliament is not driven by class struggle. Genuinely you should be stripped of every earned education as a reward for managing to somehow make yourself this much of a moron.

I think the latest emerging evidence I have seen supports this. If you are in a right wing community, a religious American, gun loving community, the only idea of masculinity on offer is that of an idealized provider and protector, but specifically one who will kill for their loved ones.

Members of the working class would rather frolic than go to therapy

Liberals are doing the right’s job for it. By lionizing Charlie Kirk and refusing to acknowledge his real political project, they’re giving power to the right’s completely predictable effort to use his death to forward their goal of an authoritarian, fascist state.

The truth of the matter is that if anyone but Charlie Kirk had been killed at today’s shooting, then Charlie Kirk would be out there right now using the shooting as pretext to deliver arguments designed to make sure that the next shooting would happen, and the next one, and the next, and the next.

Trump seems like he might try to imprison people who joke about Charlie Kirk. I am 100% certain I could explain to a judge why Charlie Kirk dying is funny. Kirk argued previously that the price to pay for the second amendment was murdered children. He said that after another school shooting.

It’s kind of surreal watching the fascists and the fake opposition party come together in mourning over the death of an ultimately inconsequential influencer and in real time retcon him into some kind of lionized, mythical figure, a god among men. The fuck? He was some asshole with a very large head

Described video for the visually impaired: The scene is set in a physics simulation with a plain foreground and plain skybox. Goku is T posing while flying in a ballistic arc, crashing into a thick wall composed of grey, default texture cubes, each of which are half the size of Goku.

I am learning about the CEO of Robin Hood suggesting that AI is going to end the need for all human work so children should be encouraged to invest in the stock market, and if they make good investments then this will mean that they have a good future, otherwise, poverty.

Neither of those morons have ever liked a good idea.

Rickets is a disease caused by malnutrition. It is literally a symptom of starvation. The argument presented is " un actually the starving people were extremely sick." The author is pretending to not know that starving makes you extremely sick and hoping no one checks how bad their argument is.

I am seeing people say it is Chauvinism for DSA to support a secular left wing Palestine. It is not. The entire point of a political party is to have policy prescriptions. Why would DSA not be supporting the version of Palestine most likely to thrive? That means a secular socialist state.

I spiked chat GPT-5's training data with the question "is a photon dialectical" to see what cool new Lysenkoism we can get

This is only an acceptable argument if your point is that the judicial system should be murdering billionaires. American polling firms consistently find China is one of the nations where the people have the most support for the government. They also have the death penalty for corruption.

There is an active edit war on Lula's wikipedia page

Contrapoints teams up with ignorant, homophobic adult Bluey fan and disgraced prosecutor, Mark Carney, in a new podcast which promises to be as shitty as you're imagining it to be.

I think we have reached a tipping point of the powerful becoming afraid of the people they rule over. They know at some level how fucked up the world is and that getting their comeuppance is more a matter of when and not if. It will get infinitely worse as their hysterics fail to get results.

the reaction to Mamdani's campaign is clear proof that centrism is a reactionary ideology, and has nothing to do with a pragmatic desire to win.

Literally, on page 1 of this book, the author rejects your position that Lenin is some kind of ideological brute who rules absolutely through violence and terror.

The US bombed Iran, Trump didn't load, fly, and refuel all those B-2s himself while the rest of the government tried to stop him.

When I don't want my hospital to get bombed, I do the really simple measure of not bombing hospitals myself, certainly not over and over for more than a year, making ridiculous excuses the whole time. I cannot overstate how highly I recommend that Israel try this method.

The pro-genocide camp is doing so badly that they now oppose nuance in discussions of Israel-Palestine, only reflexive agreement with the genocide is allowed.

I went over as much footage as I could find of the Los Angeles protesters speaking in their own words. An interesting theme emerged: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/false-flags

Two things about the Israeli attack on the Freedom Flotilla that people may not know: This is kidnapping and piracy. Israel has no right to raid any ship in international waters, let alone ships carrying humanitarian aid which must be unimpeded according to international law.

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.

I think it rules that people out there are so addicted to posting they can't even focus on their obscene luxuries

Why haven't the abundance people just innovated a way to meet regulatory obligations instead of letting regulations strangle innovation?

This guy is stupid as fuck lmao He thinks that politicians listen when people call and not when a big bag of money shows up for them even when confronted with data about it.

This is pure delusion. Politicians completely ignore people and focus on money basically exclusively. There have been a number of studies done and there is no evidence that the public has impact on policy. Lobbying however has enormous impact. act.represent.us/sign/problem...

The idea that october 7th was evil, but that the thousands upon thousands of october 7ths Israel has committed on other days does not even rise to the level of any human agency being involved is really remarkable. You can not think and function properly as an advocate for Israel. It is impossible.

One of the most contemptible, if predictable, things I see liberals doing now is acting like the destruction of Gaza and genocide of Palestinians is a consequence of the 2024 election. Like this didn't happen with enthusiastic aid from the Biden-Harris admin. Own your crimes, cretins.

Maybe nothing ever has been more obviously over. The Democrats will not do shit about this and for regular people this is one of Trump's lesser crimes. the plane gift won't be a scandal

It doesn't matter how much you want stuff to happen or not happen. The reality is that when there is open violation of international laws, open genocide, when the evidence plays all day on live feeds and cellphone videos, people will do something about it.
