Ford execs have floated it too

edit: that google search isn’t very specific to what we’re talking about here, which is a subscription to access features that are physically installed in the vehicle

This one’s out of left field but mine is Aldi’s speculoos cookies man. I have to stock up during the holidays when they sell them. If I’m high I will go through an entire package in one sitting.

That’s the point of what they’re saying. If you’re only buying a subscription to the content then it’s not theft to get access to that content by other means.

not a tankie

…cool? So glad you have an opinion about the 1956 Hungarian revolution and whether the Soviets sending in tanks to crush it was a reasonable reaction… not sure how that qualifies your opinion though.

Well stuff is literally Stoff, so…

I mean he wrote it after his experience in the British Ministry of Information during WWII. That reality arguably already existed when he wrote it and he just put it into terms that made the contradictions obvious and stole a plot to make it into a full length novel about how communism is bad and scary.

1984 is supposedly a cautionary tale about what would happen if the Communists won, and yet it was based on Orwell’s own, actual, Capitalist country and his job serving it. It’s really no wonder how we got here, they’re just expanding the same tactics and rhetoric into new territory.

Hear, hear. I prefer socialist revolution of course but in the meantime I’m willing to compromise.

Yep. All of this. They want the “good” immigrants and the “middle” classes who can afford expensive education and travel, and not the lower classes that their own society is built on the backs of. Their base is just too easily blinded by racism to see the class war for what it is.

They don’t need to reinstate slavery, they already are able to employ people at wages below what it costs to feed, clothe, and house them. They don’t care how we live as long as they are making more money than last year, which includes profiting from our consumption. No, all they have to do is gradually replace their workforce with workers that accept lower compensation. Poverty, homelessness, recessions, debt, unemployment, these are all necessary components of capitalism. They keep the workforce desperate for any wage it can get. Capitalists have referred to it as “tempering” the workforce.

Absolutely, I fully agree with you. We are experiencing the same depression of wages in the engineering sector because of these abusive practices. I still live quite comfortably as an engineer but I am watching the conditions develop for it to be taken from me as it has from others.

I question how it can be that I interact with more foreign nationals than the marginalized peoples of my own country, especially those like myself whom I grew up with that have all the same drive I do if not more. I am watching as the ladder that got me here is being stuffed with exploitable labor and pulled back up, when more should be going down and leading to more diverse careers that actually serve humanity. Unlike my industry whose entire business model is taking an essential service from our countrymen so they could sell it back to us in a form that regularly kills and financially burdens us.

Sorry about your health situation. It really sucks that we live under such oppressive conditions, with leaders would allow our needs to be deprived from us simply because we do not have the wealth that they are accountable to. It feels like a cliché to say money is the root of all evil but every day it gets harder to avoid such an apparent truth.

I think it’s talking about rows of seating. Not the grille.

marginalizing the majority

🐶😙

Oh & reminder Stallin apologists are class traitors.

Who told you that? The American capitalist class? You really trust what they have to say about the leader of a socialist country they were trying to justify a war with, and prevent their own working class from getting any ideas, at all costs?

I invite you to challenge all beliefs that have been formed under a state which finds itself threatened by socialist revolution.

My guy 😭 you don’t know how wrong you are. I’m a black woman from a single mother that paid my own way to a bachelor and career in engineering. I am putting in the work, I am out on the streets in my community, organizing with a revolutionary party. I invite you to read through my comment history. Check your fucking privilege.

The Republicans and Democrats are both right wing parties of capital. Neither of them are on the side of the people and they absolutely were not about to give you welfare reform. They are beyond cleaning up.

“HR: Have they said they are a Nazi or that they hated Jews?”

Yes, they have endorsed the great replacement theory.

Yes. At best, he is an apologist for Israel/Zionism which does not represent Jewish people as a whole. Zionists hated Holocaust victims and were Nazi collaborators.

I imagine this is the kind of nonsense political take one develops when they go through life only skimming a few grade school social studies textbooks and actively disregarding all other reality or thought.

noooo you HAVE to enforce borders with violence!!! How else will you keep out all the cretins from nations whose infrastructure you’ve destroyed and resources you’ve plundered!!! You can’t possibly take care of all those people, think of tHe EcOnOmY!!!

hahaha that’s so funny guy you really think this is a normal and well adjusted view of the world. Those scare quotes around uplifting minorities is a cherry on top. You’re so devoid of empathy you can’t even fucking imagine a world of people that actually care about each other for the sake of their humanity.

I’ll take a “stallin apologist” over a capitalist that cares more about his stocks than his fellow man. Any fucking day of the week.

Thanks comrade ✌️ same to you

agitprop gonna agitprop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ being propaganda doesn’t inherently make something bad, it’s what the propaganda is in service of. This propaganda is in service of leading America away from its fascistic, ecologically and socially destructive, global hegemony. I tend to think that’s pretty good but opinions may differ.

And yes sorry I got mixed up and thought you were replying to this comment. But in a way I did tell you to work outside of the system.
