If capitalism is natural human instinct why did it need to be forced on the vast majority of the world at gunpoint. READ A BOOK

Stop calling the leisured provincial gentry "working class"

The New York Times supported Andrew Johnson when he was President. Just in case anyone is still thinking there was ever a time when it was a good newspaper.

Happy April 28 to all who celebrate!

it makes sense that absolutely no one has any empathy for donald trump assassination attempts, he and his party love ultra-violence. school shootings are a fact of life we just have to accept and that the US has the right to bomb anyone in the world it wants. america loves death

seriously though guess how many times Clara has posted about journalists killed by the IDF in Gaza or Lebanon

the administration that ran on a platform of “political violence kicks ass and we’re gonna do a ton of it” and the media representatives who enthusiastically normalize and promote it would once again like the nation to unite in condemnation of political violence lacking their seal of approval

It’s actually really funny having finished histories of the russian revolution/early soviet republics and coming back round to antebellum-early industrial histories etc of the USA and then seeing the discourse on here about how Lenin et al are unapproachable villains of history.

Very helpful!

I'll save everyone the click, it's just this chart:

man if you ever feel insane with the way liberals talk about the Biden years on here, just scroll back through your screenshots during those years for a dose of reality

The notion that the US would bring "freedom" to Cuba is actually obscene. The US effectively controlled Cuba for half a century before the revolution, and ran it as a dictatorship characterised by gangsterism, political repression, sex tourism, racial hierarchy and mass poverty.

Western liberals ALWAYS find common ground with their conservative counterparts whenever the topic is regime change, naked imperialism, and militarism in nonwestern countries that have leaders who don't want western liberal democracies to do imperialism in their countries.

Thesis: Americans suck, say the Europeans Antithesis: Europeans suck, say the Americans Synthesis:

"It is more dishonest and more bad-faith to lie about my Internet posts than it is to lie about the circumstances of a public murder captured on video" is such a perfect encapsulation of TCW's narcissism and main character syndrome. No notes.

Kim underscores need to bolster N Korea's nuclear deterrent, citing 'recent geopolitical crisis', state media reports https://aje.io/oc4xyd

And turned a completely unrelated tweet that went something like 'You're a dumb death-peddling ghoul who tried to get someone fired for using the word "fuck"' into a mob calling her a "ghoul" who "deserved to die" in a follow-up to the Hamilton lyrics post

Marc Andreessen as the Venom symbiote, except instead of symbiotic tendrils it's just money, and instead of making you look sleek and black it just makes you increasingly resemble humpty dumpty

Oh my god…

They Want You Relying On Artificial Intelligence So That You Will Lose Your Natural Intelligence They want you to require easily controllable software to form your understanding of the world, and to express that understanding to others. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/they-want-...

strictly speaking, the nazis were Germany having an American phase

If the Plague Inc dev team hasn't added an "infected forsake tylenol, believe it will give them autism" event to the Neurax Worm scenario, they're missing out. Golden opportunity here

Democratic pols may not succeed in Corbyning him, but if they fail, it certainly won't be for lack of trying

I saved this photo on my phone so that when i try to reenter the US after traveling internationally they won’t let me in

My favorite is the people who think this entire operational waterpark was constructed for a few TikTok videos featuring forced actors for propaganda purposes instead of just...to have a waterpark for people to enjoy and like you more for building a waterpark.

Wracking my brain for reasons literally anybody under the age of 35 might think the ineffable quality they see posted as a requirement on every single job application, including entry level job applications, is not real. Let alone valuable. Add it to the list of things those damn millennials killed

Was going through my files looking for a Simpsons joke about the Kagans and found this so you're welcome.

Me signing up for a mailing list and shaking hands with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at the Queesbridge Park Bernie Rally.

People ran pieces about how the discipline of the movement was actually proof of a disturbing and dangerous groupthink. We got whole columns of people complaining about having to speak with official spokesmen.

Elon Musk's huge popularity over the years is a great reminder of an often forgotten truth: nerds are exactly as dumb and gullible as everyone else.

The entirety of astronomy science-popularization media (from mainstream journalists on the science beat to YouTube channels to TV shows like Star Trek & Rick and Morty) praising Elon's as a singular genius for well over a decade, only to culminate in LIGO's decapitation, is truly a Greek tragedy arc

While the claim the US supported Nazi Germany leading up to WWII is admittedly dumb, it is also indisputable that the US pressed the officers, politicos, and researchers up to at least middling rank in Germany and all the way to the top in Japan into the global Cold War after WWII ended.
