Jordan Peterson: (sobbing in the most insane jacket you’ve ever seen) Men evolved to take out the trash

Lebanese government's "agreement" with Israel (which effectively puts it under US-Israeli custodianship and legitimizes the occupation of 6% of the land and permanently displacement of 1,200,000 people) unsurprisingly does not have the buy-in to last

this is why "from each by ability, to each by need" is such an important golden rule to internalize, otherwise you're just saying Nazi shit wokely

Another thing about the dictatorship of the proletariat: socialism is not the cure for racism ableism or other bigotries. Socialism is the result of the working class overcoming the bigotries that capitalism uses to divide us. This is a requirement!

Democratic socialism doesn't necessarily require you to address homophobia or sexism, it uses capitalism to fund social programs. The capitalist engine can still be evil as hell but bound in chains with all of us leeching off of it but still dependent on it.

Is this supposed to be a bad thing?

It’s mildly annoying how stats about the average age of console gamers being 30+ are widely taken as meaning “kids aren’t playing console games anymore”, rather than “gaming isn’t really a thing people age out of anymore”

This is my ideology

Useful to contrast this classification with how Israel's hasbara efforts went to great pains to only circulate images of captured IOF soldiers in civilian clothing and talked about the need to "bring their children home".

Yes that’s the definition of a child, well done

France has recorded around 1,000 excess deaths during Europe’s record-breaking heatwave Officials warn the preliminary toll could rise as extreme heat, wildfires, and transport chaos hit multiple countries

ACAB includes the Doom Guy and his private prison.

Good morning comrades

ow my nuts!

this is the boring dystopian future that waymo fascists crave

Goodbye, champagne socialism. Hello, Culver's shrimp communism

When you were writing this dumb post, was there a moment where you realized how silly it and you are? Or have you kind of moved beyond shame and just truly internalized this shrill doofus persona you've created?

What upsets about the Euro AC haughtiness isn't individuals saying AC is expensive/tricky *individually.* What gets me is the dismissiveness towards finding structural solutions to keeping the vulnerable alive as climate change asserts itself.

A lot of people who don't necessarily identify as conservative can't fathom the scale of theft and exploitation at the very top, but can easily moralize about what poor people should be doing with their negligible government benefits

Protestantism. One of the core beliefs of Protestant culture, whether they're aware of it or not, is that illness and poverty are punishments from god for being sinful. They also, again whether they're aware of it or not, divide the world in to godly people and sinners. They divide poor people in to

I don’t understand how now, in a time where the material suffering around us is harder to ignore than in most of our lifetimes & the reasons why are as clear as they have ever been, we still have so many for whom the very easy position of ‘we can & should help people unconditionally’ is unfathomable

This is subtle but important: according to the Supreme Court you literally HAVE TO ask for a lawyer in words. if you sit staring at the wall or ask "do i need a lawyer?" the cops can keep talking to you and trying to get you to respond for hours but if you *ask* for a lawyer they can not.

Shooting cops is based

Please go back into service, and this time, get well acquainted with the fury of the sons of the people you killed and displaced.

Exactly what a Nazi would say.

I have opinions on what should befall Hilary Cass but I shan't say the them because I don't want a permablock for insulting/threatening a load-bearing pillar of modern liberal thought.

Me at the A24 board meeting: We’ve got a brand beloved by young hip people and cinefiles, basically synonymous with “good taste” and “artistic vision,” in a time where both are hard to come by. What if we flushed that in the fucking toilet for a bit of money?

I mean..

I mean... When he's right he's right.

Also I remain convinced that datacenters are just a play for private ownership of drinking water

"Your business can't succeed if you don't have customers and other businesses and a thriving middle class of consumers to sell to" Baby boy. They're controlling food, water and arable land. Unless you think the wealth concentrated in Natchez, MS in the 1850s was made possible by the middle class.

"Who do they think they're going to sell all this stuff to if they put everyone out of work?" Ah you see, please see the difference between productive and extractive economies. Where will they get their wealth? Africa. The answer is always Africa. Who will they sell to? The military.

I, too, need hundreds of billions of dollars of your money or I will go bankrupt. No, my business model is perfectly sound from a cash flow perspective. I promise this is not a scam. Fork over your pension immediately otherwise the Chinese Communist Party will take over

Their business model for the last 600 years is bribe politicians, steal our resources, enclose the commons and then rent-seek and charge a toll for the privilege of using the value we created to begin with.

The plan: forever warp the job market through taxpayer-funded subsidies of unsustainable AI businesses just long enough for all other companies to lay off millions of workers and reorient their work processes around proprietary technology and then once this is accomplished, raise inference prices.

they did the whole "antifa is as bad as fa" bullshit throughout the biden years what did you expect

the reason elected dems haven't made statements against the prarieland sentences is because they aren't against them

Employees at Scientific American were told today that the magazine has been sold to LabX Media Group, the outfit that runs Discover Magazine and IFLScience. And that means -- of course! -- editorial layoffs. The media mass extinction rolls ever onward.
