my point was it doesn't have to do with population as much as it has to do with capitalistic demand and monopoly/cartel dynamics

more population means more artists and artistry, which means more concerts, but please go ahead and make this about "overpopulation"

i've been gone for a few months and the change and seeing liberals getting dunked everywhere i go is absolutely hilarious. i can't believe there are still folks like this in 2023

this is frequently true, however I know of a private agency that hires former prisoners. unfortunately a lot of these former prisoners are neo-nazis, and that seems to be tolerated

because prisoners forced to be hotshots (frontline wildland firefighters, one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, with minimal training and single shifts that can last for literal days) get paid like $3/hour so of course they're not slaves

oh we doin whataboutisms??

• like the US doesn't indefinitely hold Muslims as supposed terrorists

• like the US doesn't indefinitely hold asylum seekers, with their children separated, as supposed narcotrafficantes

• like the US doesn't have state laws purposely profiling people based on skin color to excuse traffic stops and arrests

• like the US didn't devote their entire socioeconomic foundation on racial segregation programs and residential schools and women being property and forced sterilizations and criminalizing sexuality and mental health well past the founding of the Communist Party of China (and still do in more subtle ways)

• like the US didn't conduct state terrorism on Black people, leftists, lgbtqia, Japanese, feminists, environmentalists... up to concentration camps, assassinations, bombing of entire apartment complexes

he gaveth the mexican pizza, and he taketh away

they're linguists but instead of translating and interpreting things and discovering cool history in language, they build apps to destroy entire job sectors and tell self-driving cars to only avoid white ppl

ancaps and amerikan libertarians are more consistently correct on international concerns than most any other lumpenprole in this country. their conclusions are usually trash, of course.

very good points, yet this seems more like pan-online-ism than pan leftism.

at least for my local area, we are the most active and apparent Marxist party. anarchists get along with us, join our reading groups (sometimes) and actions (frequently) because we actually do things. we rarely discuss anything that isn't about our work, and people choose not to be involved with us rather than demand we change our tactics and education. liberals are afraid of us, they don't interact much, and it's usually them just gathering intel on us when they do. some of them complain that we don't support liberal actions enough, well sorry maybe if you listened to workers instead of this bullshit "they'll come around to us" mentality you'd actually be helping. we had a local radio segment recently, but the more radical component of housing rights was edited out.
