That's why (imo) it is imperative to make a sustainable future a goal of class war. Those contradictions already exist and can be leveraged. Once ppl are polarized further agitation on less "felt" issues can take place more effectively

Quite often I feel like the climate transformation simply cannot be achieved - at least if we want it to be sustainable (socially) and want to keep the environmental base upon which human society is built - by profit driven or market economies in general. A mode of rational, democratized planning with public ownership of the economy (ideally decentralized into regions/administrative districts to be able to respond and adapt to local conditions) seems to be the only solution.

Imagine internalizing Microsoft/Apple abuse so deeply that you get angry at ppl who don't want any of that shit

“You know what would be really interesting to do? Don’t denounce me as a Stalinist but, for example – it’s my old temptation – to rewrote Star Wars… presenting Palpatine and Darth Vader as good progressive egalitarian centralist fighting reactionary feudalist, all the Jedi bullshit. It would tell a completely different story, from the others point. What do they [Jedi] stand for? All that, ‘Republic’, what strange of Republic is when you have a Princess Leila, knights, kings and so on? No, Palpatine the Emperor and Darth Vader, they are - my god - progressive Bonapartist revolutionaries trying to get rid of the old world.”

But tbh I think that if we take the original trilogy, the Rebels are cleary fighting a reactionary imperialist power, ie. an analogy to the Vietnam war

Was the credit cut? Bc Existential Comics really be a classic

"Capitalism is the driver of innovation"

uuu time for one of my fav sentences lul

The worst thing the Bolsheviks did was give Ayn Raynd an education

btw here is a step by step guide to Ayn Raynd's life:

1: be born into obscene wealth

2: be 12, a civil war breaks out, flee to white-controlled crimea

3: the reds win, nationalise the fathers pharmacy

3.5: the reds win, without that she would have never seen a university from the inside

4: be 16 and among the first women to go to university

7: fuck off to the US to whine and cry

8: write incoherent, economically completely unfeasible, idealist defense of a hypothetical capitalism

9: profit

I'm not putting my mental health on the line by acutally being on 4chan, there are some good memes and shitpost on there tho. So this form of filter strikes a good balance

US-based meaning 3 letter agencies can get your data without a court order and that you aren't protected by the GDPR if you don't live in the EU

better than the absolutely deranged MM/DD/YYYY and imo the best when it comes to international communication
