you could also say: everything is a commodity from which maximum profit is extracted without killing the consumers and producers all too quickly

well sometimes very quickly in the case of war lol

I think it looks fantastic on her. She needs to wear it with confidence.

Why are we not seeing that with speakers or glasses? Or headphones? There are smart speakers that blast ads when used with the “correct” software. That’s been the case since before 2016, but it’s not how things generally are. But I still have my ad-free headphones, ad-free computer, ad-free so on and so forth electronic devices. Nobody knows how libre hardware and infrastructure will advance in the next ten years. Removing ads from a smart monitor, should the tech ever happen to gain dominance, will be as easy as connecting a USB C cable and hitting ‘flash’ on a website.

This belief that everything will turn into a dystopia is as unfounded and unrealistic as the belief that life 10 years from now will be utopian. Just because a news outlet spins up a story does not mean it’s going to be the direction things are headed.

TVs have always been standalone products that do more than just display an image. Monitors on the other hand serve only this purpose.

Bullshit. You can only go so far jamming shit into people’s faces.

I use Manjaro, btw

The USA has done what it did to Cuba to itself

I get what you are saying, the Russian revolution was a success despite sharing a feature that was a great hindrance. I think though that saying “X has always been like this” has a somewhat ahistorical quality to it. There is simply no good knowledge of the future.

bingo

Where I am from there are like 8 different leftists parties laying claim to the same chunk of people. There will be one big and relevant party in the end, but getting there has the danger of a bajillion parties competing and creating noise rather than directed struggle. XKCD standards meme

I would tend to agree on the class party aspect, but as with anything there is an outward motion. The most effective struggle doesn’t start at the higher levels of abstraction. Egoism comes first, not in the Stirnerian sense, where people make sure they are not deported by ice, where military service is eschewed, where when arrested the fifth amendment is kept in mind. The next stage would be tenant unions, trade unions, more organised forms of struggle. Then education, reading circles, discussions, talks and so on. I see the party as the capstone of all of these working class interests. Ultimately it becomes the expression of our species’ interest towards the end of class struggle.

It’s not about the wealthiest 0.5%, the oligarchs as you’d call them. All of this revolves around the struggle against capitalism. Workers (about 60 to 70% of society depending on the definition and employment rates) against the bourgeoisie (~15% including petit bourgeoisie).

Joining a union or creating one is one of the most subversive things one can do in this day and age. Propaganda for unions is very effective at leveraging the class schism in favour of workers/socialism.

Just don’t a union that advocates creating large weaponry or represents law enforcement/servants of the state.

Proper unionising makes capitalists piss their pants. I have read a ton about politics (to my detriment – rip mental health) and it seems to really give you the most bang for your buck.

Good website. However I feel it would be safer if they didn’t use Google maps.

Addition: if they didn’t use Google maps and opted for an open source alternative. Not saying no maps should be used. People need to be made aware.

Mussolini himself said that he was inspired by American social policies IIRC. The kernel is just now sprouting

I think the title is slightly misleading because it is very polemical. If I understood correctly it’s not 55 bn USD for crematoriums strictly. The ceiling for ICE camp expenditures has been increased by 45 bn USD from 10 bn USD, in which cremation equipment is included albeit making up only a small share of the costs. The increase alone is so large that everyone here ought to be very concerned.

Please correct me if I’m wrong or have an incomplete angle, because I think when things turn serious an exact understanding is crucial

You are also hardly engaging with any of my points beyond moralistic flukes, instead you seem to attempt to paint me as a Hamas supporter. Which I am not, because I am not big on natlib

I am not even mad I am explaining my position to you because you keep getting it wrong. I simply don’t think that Soviet solutions post 1940 were particularly smart, I don’t share Marxist-Leninist goals in that sense.

Nowhere did I deny that there were civilians that were killed. Sure, there were, but it overlooks the targeting and the targeting was primarily a military concern.

I can also say that you are a disgusting specimen for posting antideutsche (ew!) music and derailing discussions about a genocide that has or will claim hundreds of thousands of lives.

Yikes!
