Reminds me of something Alok said about playbooks: we focus on the books but forget to play.

Someone give this person a congressional hearing and billions of dollars to burn

You would think seeing how we spend more on prisons then our schools…

That’s an ideal solution. The best solution is what works immediately and within your capabilities.

I just want a livable community that doesn’t make my kids sick.

Please share

When has 196 ever posted anything not satire?

I’ll do all that when the spec is written in stone.

Please correct my ignorance, but didn’t Marx think Capitalism wouldn’t last this long?

I mean a slaver does work, it’s just that job shouldn’t exist in the first place.

To deny the difference is to deny what makes the spectacle compelling

Wheels are more efficient.

Planes too. Everyone should have a helicopter pad or they are a fucking luddite

Yes! It’s like voting to choose which boss battle you are going to have.

That’s your choice to make and passing judgment doesn’t seem to have any material consequence. Compare that to a Palestinian, why should they care what kind of asshole we elect to office, when they care about whether that asshole will keep giving money to Isreal? They have different material conditions but I would not disparage their values over that choice. This idea that a choice is universally good or bad regardless of context is used to police our history, not just our voting. It feels very liberal coded.

This. I can understand an American not understanding the history of a symbol, the confederate flag comes to mind, but the eagerness to murder to make sure America is top dog is big red flag.

When exactly did fascism stop in the states? Was it after the Civil War ended slavery but didn’t give blacks the right to vote? Or when we gave them the right to vote but also sent their men to die in Vietnam? Or did it end with the USSR while we supported the genocide in Palestine?

Not knowing history can do that sometimes

I don’t really take stalk in how people vote in a liberal democracy, its built to dismantle class consciousness. Vote however your internal values and material conditions dictates, but please don’t act like voting will save us from fascism.
