Oof, that's an L for me 
Perhaps they should move to Mastodon instead. CIA regulated social media is impossible to use on the right side of history reliably.

21·3 years agoThe fuck is it with liberals finding the aesthetic of oppression sexy? If you die without fighting your oppressors, you're a sexy hero. If you fight back and attempt to liberate yourself from your oppressors all of a sudden you're a hideous beast and suddenly it's your oppressors who need all the backup in the universe to protect them from your "unprovoked" attacks.
It's literally an ideology to disarm the oppressed and protect the function and integrity of oppressors (justifying mythos). These people want  type shit where they believe bringing a bunch of flowers to your own fucking funeral is somehow noble praxis. Surrendering yourself to the enemy is how we're supposed to win struggles… Well, why aren't they suggesting such shit for the Ukrainians? They conveniently support force only when it's the worst people imaginable perpetrating it.
Liberalism and the justifying mythos they leverage must be destroyed. Force works. Fuck these people who try to keep the oppressed docile.

the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net•In April 2022 I convinced my wife to liquidate our son's college fund into ApeCoin. We purchased 1,500 ApeCoin at $23.63, totaling $35,445. Today, it's worth $1,635 and my wife left me.English
34·3 years agoSee, this is the kind of shit that radicalizes young people. Older generations just nonchalantly gambling their children and grandchildren's futures and losing it, and then what? Often the responsibility is shifted to the ones who lost everything due to their greed and negligence.

Well, I bet their son will eventually be interested in a copy of Das Kaptial

Well, that and fireworks. China has moved onto drone light shows and displays to curb unnecessary emissions and pollution, but I can't see  parting with their damn "patriotic" explosives/explosions.

Just wait until they see China and find out it's communist building real socialism 
Edit: All seriousness, though, it does suck. We've got quite the fight on our hands here, don't we.
Best we can currently do is continue organizing and increasing political, historical and cultural literacy wherever possible.

19·3 years agoThese people’s argument always collapses when you press them for their solutions to the problems plaguing liberal democracies. They can’t talk you in circles if you keep digging for answers that you can then dismantle credibility for.
Ultimately, liberalism collapses under the pressure of dialectical materialism’s analyses. Just walk them through it and they’ll prove themselves to be full of shit for you.

9·3 years agoThanks for your comment, I do appreciate it, and I will check out that youtube channel.
Thank you for being willing to engage.
But are you telling me that there are failed states in the west? And if so could you name one?
I’m going to re-post what I said in response to another person on another thread.
The US has ornamental “rights” and “freedoms” that serve no tangible benefit to the material and social conditions of the working class and are virtues in name only.
The US has had liberal democracy for quite a while now, and guess what? It’s a massive failure. The US is a failed state. Widespread illiteracy, decaying social and material conditions, widespread immiseration and loss of dignity, skyrocketing inflation, plummeting purchasing power for the working class, odious student and medical debt, widespread corruption, endless forever wars against the working class of other countries, environmental breakdown with collapsing ecosystems due to deliberately perpetuated fossil fuel dependence, collapsing bridges and other crumbling infrastructure, subway systems that are de-facto sewers like in New York City, tent cities as far as the eye can see, home ownership nigh-impossible for the vast majority, over 50% of millennials and even higher percentage of young people having to live with their parents because rents are beyond absurd, increasingly more young people unable to afford their own transportation, people are even being priced out of trailer parks… But you can talk crap about your politicians and… yeah… you can do things that don’t actually challenge or tangibly displace the rule of the capitalist class…
As for Europe, they’re undergoing de-industrialization right now because the US convinced them to sanction Russian energy, effectively cutting themselves off from the life force of industrial development. The US made doubly sure of this by blowing up the Nordstream pipelines so they couldn’t go back to it even if they wanted to.
Now, Europe is buying Russian energy from India at rates higher than they were originally paying with status quo, making it considerably more expensive to operate in Europe. Thus, plants are closing down and moving to places like the US and China as the former cannibalizes its vassals in one last attempt to save its dying empire.
As for Japan and South Korea, two of the most miserable countries in East Asia, the living conditions are abysmal. Apartments the size of broom closets cost a significant amount of one’s income. Upward mobility is very difficult, people are constantly worked to death, suicide rates are always outrageously high, even the birth rate seems to be constantly in decline (also among the lowest on Earth) because it’s just impossible to have room for anything besides work and drinking yourself to death.
These are not signs of healthy, successful, well functioning states. A nation will only prosper when its young people thrive, and the complete opposite trend is and has been underway for a long time in the West. These nations are imploding, undergoing full-spectrum decay, while China is undergoing massive projects of national and global development and full-spectrum rejuvenation.

29·3 years agoYou clearly have not been keeping up with China’s development.
Planning ahead and building cities for the purposes of already having infrastructure for an expanding population (1.4 billion already), and also making those new cities attractive enough to cause sufficient migration that older cities (like Beijing) can be re-developed without having to uproot massive amounts of people makes perfect sense.
China is unrecognizable now from 10 years ago, let alone 70 years ago. The speed of development is incredibly fast over there because the nation operates in the interests of the working class. Quality of life is reliably, consistently, and tangibly always improving in China. This compulsive, nonsensical urge to somehow, someway paint China as inferior to white Western countries is incredibly infantile with racist undertones, since the idea here is that only white countries (or their dogs like South Korea and Japan, two of the most miserable countries in East Asia) can ever get anything right despite having nothing to show for it.
Here, go have a look for yourself at what a successful nation actually looks like: Living in China YouTube Channel
The only thing China has to learn from Western countries is exactly what not to do, and how to avoid becoming a failed state, which they’ve all already arrived at or are in the process of becoming.























I shall remember this going forward
