You feel better now?

And it’ll happen to you one day too

Its also exactly the kind of thing you’d expect to read about in the onion.

This is beyond mear irony.

Are you trying to tell me that the spirit of capitalism won’t return to us, dressed in the splendor of new technology, to absolve us of our past planetary transgressions, and take us to a new, perfect place amongst the stars where we will live in profit and harmony for ever?

Well, thats the second time I’ve fallen for that story…

Yeah, well, labour said stuff like that was bad and then did something similar that wasn’t even a fraction of a fraction as bad.

As such, they’re all equally as bad as each other.

OK but what about going onto the ground?

Like, in your garden, is that the first floor of the planet?

When you get off an airplane, do you say

“Its great to be back on solid first floor of the earth.”

?

For me, it kept a lot of the worst of the idiots away from places like reddit.

As soon as xitter got bad, lots of them left. You see, those kinds of weaponsied, unhigned right wingers are so repulsive to be around, they can’t even stand each other. More so, they dont even want to have a conversation or an exchange of ideas. They literally just want to rant at people, parroting the lines they read somewhere else at anyone they think disagrees with them.

If everyone agrees with you, you have no one to rant at.

Capital is an abstract parasite, an insatiable vampire and zombie maker; but the living flesh it converts into dead labor is ours, and the zombies it makes are us.

Same thing really but I really like Fishers incorporation of zombies

Nope, come on man are you kidding me (?) and disagree again.

I agree that maybe you can’t but that doesn’t make it true or not. The last Conservative government of great Britain showed themselves to be utterly corrupted by greed and capitalism. They didn’t even have to pretend not to rip the entire country off during the covid pandemic.

Even then, its not “more” or less than the US. My point is just that capitalism corrupts all governments, to one extent or another, because its incompatible with democracy.

If there is a top, in terms of money or having things etc., then it isn’t communism.

Please name which country in Europe has a government thats hasn’t been bought and paid off.

Of course, no one can. Unfortunately, that’s because capitalism is incompatible with actual democracy. Theres isn’t a country in the world whos democratic process and systems of governance hasn’t been utterly corrupted by capitalism and all that it brings with it.

If there’s a top that someone could rise to, it isn’t communism.

Well of course, if anywhere wed be sending them to Rwanda right guys? You like sending people you don’t like there isn’t it?

Not OPs fault of course but its only “absurd” if you choose to forget that the tories are bought and paid for by the oil and gas lobbies.

Hard agree. They gutted the electoral commission while gerrymandering like crazy. They have an army of right wing boomers brow beating anyone they come across into the ground with their “the two parties are identical in every single way” BS (all claiming to be left wingers while doing so, of course). If labour had been betting on things, using insider knowledge, there would be arrests already. The Met police went to the most secure and videoed place in the country (10 downing street) and lied, telling the whole nation that there was no evidence of the parties they were having during lockdown. Etc etc etc.

The very wealthy people and powerful people they represent won’t go quietly, if at all, and they have no morals.

Yeah but, if it was remotely enjoyable, then you might make 2 or maybe even 3% less profit for the lazy, workshy scroungers who own the company.

We can’t have that now can we?

We have courts for that and intent is very much a factor in nearly all cases. So, its not like its something alien that they couldn’t cope with.

To me, if anything, it would add to the weight on a conviction, as the requirements to meet it would be so high.

I get the feeling, I really do. However, I can’t think of many things that would radicalise someone more than losing all their money or being buried under a pile of debt. Being these sorts of types, they’ll only go one way. On reflection, I’m sure you recognise the very specific and historically recognisable tinder box.

I mean, it still might not be immoral. They can all get fucked. Just, maybe not in that specific way is all im saying.

It doesn’t need replacing. It just needs binning.

I wouldn’t say all were and, seeing your comments further down, loved your work. Beholdthemasterrace was hilarious. I’m sure it went down for legitimate reasons and not just because “all traffic is meaningful” and the money they generate from nazis spends just as well as everyone else’s, so they don’t want to upset them…

There are groups of mods who choose to promote themselves above the respectable digital janitor we all know to be necessary to more of a narrative and public opinion curator. Especially on the more news based subs. I don’t think they even try to hide it these days.
