Of course in the liberal worldview the only political action is voting and so now that voting is over you go after people who didn’t vote or voted wrong and wait four more years until you can (hopefully) vote again.

Instead of retreating with your tail between your legs and waiting for another chance to vote join up with those that are taking direct action through protest and political pressure and fucking riots and strikes.

If more of you joined the anti-genocide voices instead of chanting “vote blue no matter who” your party wouldn’t be the milquetoast status-quo-upholding pro-genocide garbage party it is today.

You can punch left or you can stand with the left and build up the power to punch back.

Depending on the TV it’s likely simulated noise at this point

My man is trying to make a point about gender equality in a genocide. People should be killed equally in genocide.

USA literally uses child labor overseas

China’s economy is already undergoing a transformation and they’ve started moving their capital overseas. Chinese owned businesses will operate out of lots of other countries.

Also: it takes a long time for supply chains to handle change as we saw with the pandemic. How many years of high prices for Chinese goods before all of the manufacturing has left China? That is assuming that other countries can immediately match Chinese efficiency and don’t have higher prices for many more years due to needing to recoup the initial expenditure.

Yeah it sucks that capitalists outsourced (and continue to outsource even in the service sector) all of your jobs, but they’re doing it because even the meager amount of your production that was coming back into your pocket rather than lining theirs is too much for them to tolerate you having.

You’re attacking the problem from the wrong angle because that’s how they want you to attack it. Funny how the wealthiest American oligarchs aren’t threatened by any of this economic change that’s supposedly here to help the average American.

You’re worried about “right to work” while Elon added 70 billion to his net worth and thousands of people (generations of his offspring) will never have to work a day in their extravagant lives.

Keep worrying about CHY-nuh, though.

hey fucking idiot: in war you usually don’t kill people statistically randomly.

Organize. Sabotage. General strike. Protest. Political action isn’t one day every four years.

waiting for a chance to elect the least shitty candidate every 4 years is how you got into this mess.

If we don’t organize and start taking direct action then nothing will change.

People need to join organizations in their community or labor unions and begin to directly sabotage the conservative agenda. General strikes should be something that the American left are actively planning right now.

Don’t sit down, stand up

whatever happened to chatrooms, simple meditation, or therapy? it’d be better if your personal drama didn’t emit as much carbon dioxide as your commute

They’re actively being combatted by the right.

Being a run of the mill fascist (rather than those in power) is actually an incredibly submissive position, they just want strong daddies to take care of them and make the bad people go away. It takes courage to be a “snowflake liberal” by comparison

this also puts in perspective how dystopian all of the “this person might be the world’s first trillionaire!!!” articles are

Theology is a fun kind of philosophy to learn about, especially while learning about philosophy more generally. It’s like a philosopher with a loaded gun pointed at their head trying to do philosophy, or just philosophy that works backwards from a conclusion. It’s fascinating how creative the arguments get.

Since you were so receptive to the first piece of advice it’s also better to do a search like “story of Abraham Bible” and read it yourself than to ask a loaded question. The internet is full of content, loaded questions can get answers that are wrong.

How’s that different from any other platform? What a coincidence that American capitalists want you to hate Chinese capitalists

The platforms are responsible because they curate and serve the content. Their algorithms can be and are exploited, but the fact that they’re algorithms doesn’t absolve them of responsibility.

Nobody told them they have to serve and intake millions of hours of content every day. If a human editor put that stuff out we’d hold the business accountable for that person’s actions.

Algorithms and AI aren’t excuses.

Here’s the actual statement. It’s not truly singling out China for being “China bad.”

You guys are lapping up and spreading sinophobia, just as bad as what people are doing on Telegram and Tik Tok.

Pot, meet kettle.

Indeed, profit is the only motive and everything else is an accident. People attribute positive effects to capitalism in the same way horoscopes work.

Yes we live in dark and depressing times. Future generations (if they exist and retain historical record) will judge us harshly with good reason, though the ones most likely to survive are the ones selling out our futures now.

But free market freedon fuck yeah we’re fucking free we’re so free to die

How will the natural gas lobby claim it’s so much better than coal now that we can see methane leaks? NASA doesn’t seem to care about capitalism
