Kick them in the nuts (or the stomach, in case they don’t have nuts), because relying on individuals with money to solve our problems is one of our fucking problems.

Fair enough. But I’d rather think of it as a torch that has been passed on and has to be guarded and kept ablaze. Lighting it was the hardest part, but the job’s not done.

I know he’s the pope and has to talk like that, but free speech is not a “precious gift”. It’s a hard-won right and “calling for it” is not gonna protect it. I swear to Nonexisto, if this clown gets the credit after the people win the fight, I’m gonna get an aneurism.

Posting an image of a person who is known to everyone as the (suspected) murderer of a capitalist, whom he explicitly murdered for his capitalistic practices, and referring to a distinct but similar set of calitalistic practices is not “a non-violent Luigi post”. It’s not directly calling for violence, sure. But the connection is pretty clear. If the Right did something like that, we’d probably call it a ((likely intentionally) poorly disguised) dog whistle.

I’m not saying the post is evil and ban-worthy. Which side an action is done for matters. You might say, the ends justify the means. But get your terminology right, and shed the centrists’ illusions. And non-violence is an illusion. This is the propaganda theatre of a class war. And Reddit is fighting for the enemy.

Bis wife started screaming after seeing a “profane sticker”? Sounds like an “and then everybody clapped” story to me.

On your own? Not much. You can stop using certain products, save money, and so on. But that’s mostly going to help make your individual existence a bit better/less bad. The CEO’s aren’t gonna give a flying fuck.

But our strength is in our numbers. Get organized. Maybe in a political party, maybe “just” in some sort of collective that helps in an area you care about. Help others in whatever capacity fits your abilities and your situation. And don’t expect it to be a quick victory. That will only result in disappointment. As a wise man (?) once so succinctly put it: “Apes together strong.”

I heard he likes fishsticks.

No. Like, I appreciate the joke being made, but it just doesn’t work.

The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

It doesn’t matter when exactly it “started”. The question should be how we get out of it. Or, more fundamentally, what actually is the problem, fundamentally? Is it a bunch of racists and bigots abusing a corrupt system to inch the US (well, we do have it in Europe too, just not so extreme yet) ever closer to fascism, or is it the underlying system of escalating exploitation and conflict that enables them?

Class collaborationists and reformists.

“The worldwide interest in accelerated computing for everyday applications is a tremendous opportunity for the US to cultivate, promoting the economy and adding US jobs imperialism.”

That’s because the concept of biological races has been thouroughly debunked. I will never understand why Anglophones still insist on using the word “race”.

View the keys, wallet, and cell phone as the necks connecting the bodies to the heads above.

So… in Finland “democracy” and “violence” are the same thing? xD

1. It’s a big difference whether you live in an unjust system and individual terrorism is the only recourse you feel you have left, or whether you are the leader of a massive bureaucratic state that has other options.
2. There are numerous reasons to be mad at Stalin, and offing capitalists is not one of the top ones.

• Betraying everything Lenin and Marx stood for by bolstering the bureaucracy instead of abolishing it (admittedly partly also the fault of the German social democrats).
• Abandoning the idea of world revolution in favor of his brain dead socialism in one (technologically and culturally backward) state that didn’t have the material conditions for socialism in any way, shape, or form.
• Collaborating with the Nazis at the beginning of WW2.
• Smothering nascent revolutions like the Chinese one, sending many of them on a one-way track back to capitalism, and constructing undemocratic bureaucracies like itself.
• Killing soviet democracy.
• Rolling back on the social accomplishments of the October Revolution (e.g. abortion).

This is by no means an exhaustive list.

You’re right. I lost. The Game.

Taxing doesn’t solve the problem either. Don’t go around assuming everyone’s a liberal who thinks that capitalism can be made to “work” by introducing taxes.

We should be way past taxing at this point.

In a lot of languages the word for apple used to refer to all kinds of fruits, particularly new ones from more or less exotic lands. Pineapples also don’t look much like apples, do they?
