  • You’d think they’d get the memo after several decades of “corporations get most of what they want, without objection” while “the people can’t even get basic healthcare or a minimum wage comparable to poorer countries”, yet here we are… Fascism is knocking down the door, financed by the wealthiest capitalism can muster, and they still have their heads firmly planted in the dirt, blaming the left for not voting, without evidence … when the millions of people who didn’t vote may very well be just as oblivious as Trump voters, don’t know how the government works, don’t know the danger they’re in, and don’t pay enough attention to care 99% of the time.


  • This unprecedented relationship between the world’s richest man and the leader of the free world raises concerns about the influence of wealth on government.

    The only change is that Liberals are apparently becoming aware of the power dynamic that has always existed — that democracy cannot exist with massive wealthy inequality and money equal to speech. I’m also positive that if Trump/MAGA fails to implement fascism (this time around), Liberals will believe the current system works, and completely ignore the reality that their system was almost destroyed by a small number of wealthy sociopaths.




  • It’s okay. We’re only running out of time. ALL of us — ALWAYS — hurtling through space at ~30km/s around a fireball that’s burned for billions of years, on a spaceship that materialized out of the remanence of exploding fireballs, which materialized out of nothingness.

    Believe it or not. A banger shower thought was an inevitability.

    We’re basically the universe waking up to itself after 13 billion years of a chaos bender and going "What the fuck!?! I’m on a fucking rock? In the middle of fucking nowhere? … I can’t believe I’ve done this to myself!


  • Civil liberty and privacy advocates have been saying that surveillance capitalism and dragnet mass surveillance aren’t just a direct attack on our civil liberties, but were a trojan horse that would be used to attack and dismantle democracy if they weren’t heavily restricted.

    Neoliberals and conservatives have spent the last 80 years building big brother FOR fascism, and the fascists used all the tools built by surveillance capitalism to stage their coup. Rather ironically, if the tens of trillions spent to build it went to social services instead, fascism 2.0 may have never materialized.


  • None of us are as “free” as we believe we are. At the end of the day our politicians are all financed by our wealthiest individuals and corporations (many of which are foreign).

    No matter where you are the majority of your domestic politics, your geopolitics — your “national security” — is intrinsically linked to the wealthiest individuals and corporations that engage with your economy. This can happen anywhere, and it will if we do nothing.

    P.S. thanks mods!
