Nothing’s colder than a dead crypto bro’s cold wallet.
Americans are in the war, but Western media aren’t going to broadcast that. We have support forces in Ukraine, we provide Ukraine with invaluable intel and targeting data, we have American volunteers in the International Legion (one of whom was killed in action this week, and he wasn’t the first). Biden announced yesterday that he’s going to let even more Americans directly fight in this war.
The very point we are trying to make here is that that is what the Dems tried to do, and it did not in fact work.
We said as much, but of course they didn’t listen, as is our Cassandra curse.
Moralities aside, some find it liberating to stop caring what is & isn’t considered “weird.” Conformity definitely has its advantages, but at least consider the possibility that, for you, it may not be worth the costs. Take it from Al, or DEVO themselves for that matter.
As for morality, I’m not really a fan of it in its conventional senses. Philosophy prof. Hans-Georg Moeller, author of The Moral Fool: A Case for Amorality.
Okay real talk. I consider virtually all unions* in the US to be yellow unions. They are like that because, during the 20th century, all socialist/communist leadership was purged from organized labor. The unions were made into virulently anti-communist ones, for the purposes of the Cold War, but also for the purposes of declawing the labor movement. As a result, the unions don’t really work to develop class consciousness among the rank & file. And of course they don’t, because union leadership is in partnership with the capitalist class instead of antagonistic toward them. So the leadership is mostly aligned with the Democratic party and that party’s donor class, while the rank & file, having no class theory, are left susceptible to all manner of charlatanry.
(Things are worse still, if I get into labor aristocracy in the imperial core, but I’ll leave it at that.)
*One notable exception is the IWW.
That’s at least partially true, perhaps even predominantly, but there’s also the desire to have very lean distributions for containterization, and GNU is comparatively “bloated,” for lack of a better term.
The US has never been and will never be a democracy, because it was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote.[Princeton & Northwestern] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy
China, in contrast, practices democratic centralism. And its no wonder that the Chinese people are very satisfied with their government, because their quality of life has been improving over the last few generations[2], while ours has been dropping over the last ~40 years of grinding neoliberalism.
Your understanding of China comes exclusively from the imperial core propaganda you & I have been exposed to our entire lives. You’ll never understand it in any other way unless you investigate outside of the bubble we live in.
Try to mention Tienanmen square anywhere
You can in fact mention Tienanmen square anywhere in China. The idea that it is suppressed comes to you from Western propaganda.

China wouldn’t. Russia would if it had its druthers, but since it presently doesn’t, it presently won’t. Putin tried to join NATO once, to join the imperialist club, but that was rejected, because the US wanted Russia Balkanized & plundered instead. Russia has figured out it’s better off allying with Global South countries than attempting imperialist adventures upon them. And this war has accelerated that allyship.
I don’t know how someone can confuse internationally illegal invasions of sovereign nations on the other side of the world which resulted in the deaths of over a million people with a domestic terrorism intervention that ended the deaths being caused by terrorist knifing sprees, bombings, and vehicular manslaughters. You’ve really got your head up your ass.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say Democrats were the most gullible 😐

The rise of the megacorps was in the late 19th century as imperialism, otherwise known as “monopoly capitalism” or the Highest Stage of Capitalism.
The stage we’re in now is a further advancement known as neocolonialism, which began in the mid-20th century.
