I’m going to use that from now on.

Freaking hypocrites

There’s no small scale capitalism as the Capital needs to expand more and more. Political Economy 101.

EU+UK political leadership is a complete shitshow.

From your answer I think labor in general isn’t either. A Tuesday for any liberal really.

existential threat

Do you think that either Kamala or AOC would refrain from bombing 200 little girls?

It looks like the fate of FOSS was predetermined to be bleak in the West.

the system still worked for the most parts

You’re obviously not a third worlder and you don’t know a thing about the international division of labor.

I’m not going to dispute that. But that got me thinking: how to express what collectivist values entail to a highly individualistic individual? Shared gains aren’t a commodity to them. I’d like to hear (well, read) your perspective.

The other transforms these societal demands in woke-liberalism, erasing the class struggle component of feminism, anti-lgbtphobia, anti-rascism. Rendering these fights too individualized and inconsequential.

The Democrats don’t read Frantz Fanon and just skim through Angela Davis.

It’s also a moot point, SPD wouldn’t do better.

Chomsky

So again the underlying problem is the system that transfers all gains up nowadays leaving less workers (with stagnating wages).

I.e. Capitalism.

I hope nobody was planning on tuning in to Voice of America tonight.

Or - shudders - Radio Free Asia.

You’ll have to excite a tuning fork with them tho

All that transhumanism talk (I think it was mainly from Musk and Bezos) wasn’t about bettering humankind but about building the perfect slaves.

I genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about

Then you should educate yourself: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/24/nazi-linked-veteran-ovation-zelenkyy-canada-visit-00117857

assumed we were past judging someone based solely on the country they were born in.

Have you forgotten what your neighbor is doing right now?

Can’t you guys get neologisms and irony? I KNOW what is the original idiom. HOWEVER, I’m deliberately changing it to mean there isn’t even a simulacrum of difference between Democrats and Republicans. Ah, the eternal marvel of the English language: its breathtaking inability to stray from a pre-written script. No wonder it’s the language of contracts, with every clause so exquisitely, flawlessly delineated. Naturally, people then start behaving as if they’re perpetually executing contracts with one another, forever in hot pursuit of pecuniary advantage. And from that, of course, sprang Common Law, Capitalism, and Imperialism - what a coincidence. It’s just so delightfully easy to build colonies and murder on an industrial scale when the target is nothing more than a number. Precisely because they can’t think beyond greed and individualism, they end up so utterly, pathetically lost the moment they set foot in collectivist countries.
