Let me add in the following about my country, Norway, whose material conditions I know all to well: There is way too much wealth disparity and rising poverty, but this infographic does not reflect a material shortage of food, of which there is on the other hand an over-abundance of to the detriment of the global south. Recall that we produce food for a billion more people than what exists, yet a billion starve due to the global north's over-indulgence and waste.

The main reasons for the rise in death to malnutrition are eating disorders such as anorexia. This reflects a wholly different contradiction which we should focus on instead of misrepresenting material reality.

Here you go. Cowbee is just a regular user (or maybe rather a legend). Seems that you are moving in the right direction (by which I mean to the left), but I would say that you have far to go still. Good luck!

Trump is probably fantasizing about 181 years as 30 six year olds.

To be honest I feel horrible for writing this, but it is hard not to be when material reality is equally horrible. I hold all Americans indiscriminately responsible for your domestic and global pedo rapist in chief.

In mathematics we use the term "obviously" all the time without empirical evidence. Sometimes because logically it is, sometimes because we want to do a proof by intimidation.

So easy it should be illegal! I mean, how can we feel superior if we are not wasting huge amounts of time setting things up!?

You mean key based SSH authentication? Yes, but if you have done so and this is the only attack vector, I do not see the need for fail2ban.

It is American exceptionalism to disregard the fascist suppression of the proletariat on the basis of having your own very special holiday. Also because of the blatant disregard for the international labour movement.

I am not, but if I were I would probably point out that the capitalist class have co-opted this as well and replaced the material contents of the, ehrm, "holiday," as you call it.

To take advantage of large numbers of potential customers with time to shop, Labor Day has become an important weekend for discounts and allowances by many retailers in the United States, especially for back-to-school sales. Some retailers claim it is one of the largest sale dates of the year, second only to the Christmas season's Black Friday.[40]

Well, but what do I know? Maybe the international May day is flawed and that actually American exceptionalism will reshape the mode of production by going on a shopping spree on their "holiday".

EDIT: I realize that you might be confused about me calling May day for Labour day, which is solely a direct translation from what we call May day here. I still stand by everything of the above though.

I am complaining that

It was in this environment that Loyalty Day (originally called "Americanization Day") was created in 1921 as an explicit replacement for International Workers' Day.[6][5]

I have no clue what you are rambling on about.

Oh I know. They co-opted the date to make it unamerican to celebrate labour day. What is baffling me is that you guys just let them do it.

Had to read up on this and came over this gem: Loyalty day. My only question is why do Americans bend over so willingly to get fucked by capital as it pleases? Is the taste of boot really that great?

Well... People fuck around and seems to have been doing so for a while...

 

The bourgeoisie in my country have pushed the euphemism of "working capital" as something that needs protection from wealth tax. By inseparably connecting capital with jobs, they push the narrative that you cannot tax wealth without removing jobs and consequently hurting the working class. They paid for research groups to prove this connection, but what their research actually showed was that wealth tax creates jobs due to incentivizing keeping profits within the companies they own. The audacity to think owning the means of production is a privilege they should enjoy special treatment to keep is beyond me, but even so, this type of rhetoric keeps gaining ground.

What is the propaganda they are pushing on you, and how can socialist policies prevail if reason loses to made up words changing the narrative?

 

Perhaps the best part of Dwarf Fortress is creating and sharing stories. Share yours below!

Great Toady of course wrote this with the "hopefully" caveat, but here is to hoping.
