I don’t care if China steals my data or uses my router as a vector for a DOS attack at this point. My fascist nation already has domestic back doors to spy on me if I was interesting enough. My opinion of China is roughly the same as my opinion of my own red white and blue shithole, about as low as you can go. In fact, their regular people on the street seem a hell of a lot more prosocial and EMPATHETIC than I’ve ever seen here in the US going by Rednote. I’m on nobody’s side geopolitically because nobody is on my side.

Besides, we destroyed ourselves already. Checkmate CCP! Have fun spying on the ash heap. Spoilers: we’re largely poorly educated here by design, so enjoy the stream of "…evolution is just a theory science is fake education is a scam pull yourself by your bootstraps stop virtue signaling it’s not greed I’m rationally self-interested… "

I think thematically over the trilogies, it’s laid on pretty thick that the Jedi beaurocracy of titles, ranks, and arbitrary rules was their downfall.

Qui-Gon was the last remnant of the Jedi as they were always supposed to be until Luke, nomads that communed with and furthered the will of the living force, who couldn’t care less about being deemed a Herp derp “master.” Such a title is literally kind of Sith like in its arrogance with the implication of mastery over the force rather than a humble facilitator of its will.

Scarcity is is essential to capitalism.

Many do die as capitalists literally destroy food to maintain scarcity.

I can only surmise that humans are largely happy with this arrangement, with vulnerable humans dying to maintain oligarch profit/metastasis expectations, because the global capital markets haven’t been burned to the ground for their relentless and celebratory sociopathic inhumanity. 🤷

Friendly reminder, don’t forget to shake your fist at your local homeless encampment on the way to work for lowering your local property values with their continued inconvenient existence!

If you’re offering me a closet to live in over there where people act like a society then yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

This is exploitation, antisocial hell. We aren’t a society so much as a gaggle of rugged individuals at each other’s throats for ever dwindling oligarch scraps. There is no hope here, no community, only tribal division and hatred stoked 24/7 by for profit media, with intentionally poor public education that doesn’t teach basic critical thinking or reasoning that leaves most unable to separate the propaganda from reality.

People have just started to realize after 50 years that both major parties, and our system undermines 5he formation of a third major party, stand with the robber barons against needs of the people while stoking social division to protect the robber barons from reprisal.

Kinda demoralizing. Especially considering all the “Herp derp Freedom” kool-aid poured down our throats from birth.

I’m genuinely shocked it was taken down at this stage in our self-destruction

The United States of America

Kleptostan brought to you by Carl’s Jr

That’s literally like half of marriages.

Sorry, you’re stuck with hoards of people our economy has made too poor to get citizenship elsewhere. Shitty country run by selfish oligarchs. 🤷

Canadians are not as pathetic as us Americans, who’ve been rolling over for 50 years.

They will fight.

Being allowed to masturbate at work would just ruin the fun of it.

“No fair! I went to work today! Those people didn’t and deserve to die horribly of exposure for it!”

Despite what the Fascists would erase from history and science, critical race theory is like the theory of gravity, it’s absolutely correct and all around us.

African Americans have never been made whole since their ancestors were brought here as slaves. They’ve never been the primary or equal beneficiaries of the generational windfalls that have occurred here. They’ve been sabotaged at every step. Ever heard of Tulsa?

It’s ridiculous how many people shriek get over it when Jim Crow is still well in living memory. When African American families get substantial reparations for what was done to their families over and over generationally, so never, then you’d have a leg to stand on.

Neoliberal good cop/fascist bad cop was always a race to the bottom. This was inevitable so long as we fail to cut the capitalists down to size, and both parties are paid to defend their con game from us by stoking social issue division to stop the peasants from looking up at the oligarchs, our common enemies whether you’ve been brainwashed into worshipping them or not.

I voted for Harris out of harm reduction, but voting Neoliberal only slowed the sinking, it was never going to make things better, just worse a little slower. A vote for continued quiet capitalist slaughter over loud, bragging capitalist slaughter. Not peace. Under Harris, healthcare rackets would still be murdering Americans, homeless Americans would still be dying in droves, etc.

But by all means keep the focus of your ire on the people who had nothing to vote for, only against for the last half century. You’re basically attacking the silent cowards in 1930 Germany and not the Nazis.

There are only 2 ways this ends, either the Luigi method, or capitalist enforced climate change will collapse the capitalist’s con game and human civilization for us if we’re too chickenshit. The parties are captured. No amount of voting will fix this. Reagan and Kemp saw to that when they captured their opposition.

Promise?

Sadly, he’s already tapped the US Treasury like a Keg.
