I don't genuinely feel bad for Genocide Joe but seeing that old man with dementia triggers my brain's empathy response since I've worked with lots of patients who had it and my own grandmother had it as well. But then he has so much blood on his hands and I despise him. It's a weird feeling. Honestly, it's such a horror show seeing them prop up this rotting corpse. It makes me nauseous.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way. It seems to be so common to not have physical descriptions, that I was wondering if this was normal and I was the weird one for being so visual. There are some people with aphantasia, after all. I can see if they want you to use your imagination, but then you can't just suddenly mention something half way through the book that totally messes up my mental image! Ugh. Books are basically mental movies playing in my brain while I read. It's jarring to have to recast suddenly in the middle of the movie.

Late-stage capitalism really has this neo-feudalistic feel, where the Kings and Lords (Musk etc) have a bunch of concubines with bastard children who have claims to the throne or whatever. Fuckin weird timeline.

Joe Biden has succeeded in creating more wealth for the rich than any of his predecessors has ever managed, and this is why he, not Trump, will have the full backing of the bourgeois class.

So this is basically like, petit bourgeois (Trump) vs. mega bourgeois (Biden) right? Do you think Trump might actually go to jail for that reason? Because the mega bougies are more powerful? (or are they?) thinking-about-it

This might sound silly but I tried it as a little kid and it was sooooo hard to push the pedals for whatever reason that it completely turned me off from the whole idea. And I was also only allowed to basically ride around in tiny circles in our driveway because all we have in our area is narrow roads with no sidewalks where people drive their dodge rams at 50mph around corners. And it's still like that where I live now so yeah.

Weird how they all seem to be quite aware that America is an empire and is fucking everything up and basically 1/3rd of the world hates us now, but then Scott Ritter is just like "And THATS why you need to vote "

Like dude you know where we're at, right? Like they literally stole your passport. I don't get it.

Did anyone else have the idea drilled into their head during school that Communism created mass poverty and a failed state?

I think basically everyone is, hence the "communism is when no food" meme. That's what they told me in school.

So was the laptop thing real? I assumed it wasn't because I only ever heard QAnon types screaming about it. But that was when I was still in lib land.

The post is also sus because if you look at other discussions, there's 2 other uploads of the same video with the same exact title (I'm assuming 'hash truth' is supposed to be 'harsh'? if so then they made the same exact misspelling). But it's not the same account. Each one is a different username who uploaded it. Wtf.

It's weird because you often see more left-leaning stuff in this sub, like pro-Palestine vids. But Reddit does lean reactionary, as we all know. reddit-logo

What do you think? Astroturfed or no?

Also this dude's argument reminds me of what I read in Ibrahim X. Kendi's How To Be An Antiracist where he recalls, in his his youth, being convinced by white supremacist America to find fault in his own culture and blame it all on himself and his black peers, and trying to assimilate and distance himself from it, rather than seeking liberation.

 

It takes up the whole damn screen and it keeps going a bit more lmao
