It's not that people prefer Consumption over Justice, Social Justice has become the consumer good, that's the real kicker. They even turned the Epstein Files into a reality TV show. They know libs will forget about all this by 2027

Fortunately their power is declining and fracturing and no amount of idealism can save them from it.

Dude Epstein was killed in 2019. This shit ain't going away

[–] Богданова@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Going away? Call me when you've actually dealt with the predators and I will congratulate you.

Otherwise yeah we might have to make America go away. You don't leave me a choice.

That's just pure idealism lol. Sure, the material conditions in that single moment favoured a proletariat that had more to lose by revolting than accepting their oppression.

But for a CEO of a Bank, you'd think he'd have figured out that if your economic system relies on the circulation of currency, yet is administered by an industry that is underpinned by people not circulating currency, eventually either your bank collapses or the economic system does.

Capitalist Realism and his chapter on Children of Men and Wall-E, are quite something.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We have solved the contradictions of capitalism by making workers into consumers, which means we are free to exploit the workers harder and harder until they can no longer consume.

Well, good news, a lot of people are broke as fuck and can't really consume anymore.

[–] OptimusSubprime@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

people now prefer consumer goods over social justice.

Except that it's harder to get consumer goods now with the prices of goods skyrocketing (like iPhones). And with the fed govt bringing imperialism home, what do you think that leaves people to focus on, hmm?

Also, gawd dayum that was sum racism "hip blacks in hip cars with white women" and "bought off by Jay Z". Dayum.

2014 was the end of history™ for these dipshits. everything after 2015 has been thrm realising that 2008 wasn't the endsieg they'd dreamed of.

Focus on the burger trough even more

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

The burgers are now like $15 each and a fucking TroughPass Premium® subscription is $300/mo, can't even have burgers anymore.

That is the longest post-script email disclaimer I've ever seen

Cassandra's Curse is a mythological curse placed upon the Trojan princess Cassandra by the god Apollo, which ensured that while she could accurately foretell the future, her prophecies would never be believed by anyone.

They think the pacification of the masses will hold and let them just expand into open 'throw the poors into a wood chipper while we shower in their blood' politics. Lol, LMAO even.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

It might explain why they dress act and speak like anime villains sometimes, they have cartoon-logic slop rotted brains

[–] hector@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

They think they can control the political monster they created. They must have believed their own bullshit when they revised and cancelled history classes. We can take it as consolation that if they get what they are working towards it will devour them.

I’m bitter and angry over having had to fight so many useful idiots. Yea I’ve been one too, but fuck man, grand conspiracies WERE happening and the victims were desperately trying to tell you THE WHOLE TIME!

You must understand people that tried got their confidence shot. They questioned their sanity for over a decade. Thought maybe they are the bad people for thinking this was happening. It makes you distrust everyone especially when you’ve been through that trauma.

Meh yall are in the same boat so you get it.

Wait I thought JayZ was part of the cabal? did alex-aware lie to me???
