friendly journalism - can only write about things people said to you. nothing
you saw. but how you felt.
alongside adversarial journalism, like recruiters trying to get into tight
spots
yeesh that's scary, why not just assume that nothing bad's going on?
like, surely we would have heard about a genocide present in our very country
operating under our very noses ? ? ? how many WILDFIRES have there been lately?
I swear modern life is a fucking psyop
[oooookay 🙄 [eyeroll]]
anyway everything's fine, situation normal. how are you?

I'd say "content warning: fear-cursed-if-true-not-politics" that way people
who had "Fear" or "cursed" on their filter list wouldn't see it. Things that
are commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people
who tend to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed
content-warnings. so putting keywords in there that filter out people who
don't want to see intense or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more
easily.

most people have no idea what's going on in politics. Absolutely no
conception. It's all just "good/bad thing happened today, here's how the
pundits feel about it" it's literally scenery to them.
why would they care? nothing changes for them.

when tech people are hurt by technology they say "how can I fix this? what do
I need to install? what configuration should I use? is this company ethical,
or are they going to hurt me in the future? could I make something that fixes
this myself?"
when non-tech people are hurt by technology they say "okay" because they don't
have the bandwidth to figure it out.

Communism is easy. It comes about naturally during times of true crisis
(neither defeat not victory, yet) when people shuffle themselves between the
houses and belongings of dead, busy, or kind people.
Maintaining personal property rights through such a crisis is rarely possible.
At least not without falling to the grim clutches of a "fuck you i got mine"
kind of future.
It's worth it if you can manage it. But it requires more work, more effort,
and more trust, as people dedicate themselves to a lifetime in the service of
others. This is hard.
People are scared off by lifetimes. It's all they got, after all. It becomes a
bit easier when the weather is "do our die" outside, but in that case nobody
really cares about the history of your antique mug or the reason you place
daffodils on the hill.
Have you ever made something that is truly yours? Odds are, your room counts.
If only in the way you chose to arrange it. It's your area, your solace, your
space. It's you, projected onto material organization. Would you relinquish
such a thing? It may be taken from you. I personally have felt deep loss
whenever i move houses, because i know it'll never be the same again.
... I'm such a child. But fuck me because i live my life like I'm 14. Strip me
of my agency please, deny me a living wage, I'm nothing because i don't pay
taxes.
Communism is easy she says. Yep, all you need is some bloodshed.
... Not ideal...

yeah I'd just like to interject and say that more military equipment will only
bring more destruction, and that's like the opposite of what you desire. Why
do you want more tanks? What could you possibly-
You don't know what's at stake - you, you think it's just throwing information

War is hell - each casualty bids farewell to a wholely unique treasure from
this world - war is hell - there is nothing that cannot be resolved with
words. And yet we fight, and yet we pillage. War is hell, and those who demand
it must do so only to resist evil, elemental evil, the kind that wars on the
innocent and pillages the bounteous. War is hell. Fucking kill the ones who

Moving forward, "liberal" when used outside of an academic context means "ally

treat them as such.
feel free to point out how fucking stupid it is to be moderate, but don't

your radicalism is now your wealth. Nurture the flames of revolution in the

the USA is fed by undocumented immigrants who have no other options. I won't
go into which kind of slavery it is, but you can figure it out yourself.
If those workers are deported (or worse), the USA suddenly becomes
significantly closer to famine.
We need them. We need to pay them fairly, obviously, but in a purely selfish
way we need them in order to eat

idk I think riots are good actually, that's always been my position. like,
they're bad because they're break stuff, but they're good because they get the
message across. "don't fuck with us. give us what we need."
haven't been to a protest in a while tho, ever since moving where I am now.
I'm currently of the mind that protests are great for meeting people to work
with, and I don't know anyone...
I guess I'm just not very trusting of strangers, but if I know you then I'm
100% open and honest and I'll do anything you need me to. I like being helpful
to everyone around me but I don't know what to do when I'm terrified of hidden
enemies.

like, you don't have to have a bloody revolution to restart a government.
Literally just, sign out of the world for a minute and come back when
everything's changed
do you trust us? or do you trust yourselves? Should be easy enough to tell

Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
collective mind co-re-assigns.

@user-129 if you throw your plate across the room instead of eating well then
it was probably an accident. if you keep doing it and are being a huge brat
about it then maybe you should go in time-out until you are ready to sit at
the table and eat like an adult. plates are expensive yo, and people are
starving (for housing) in Africa or whatever.
in related news, I heard that ~40% of homes in America are empty. I don't know
if that's still true, I read it in like, 2014. I wonder if it's higher or
lower now?

the government is the platform the [companies/countries] do stand upon. they
owe all to their platform. it is vital for their existence. therefore any
orthogonally created [unit/union] or organization would work to maintain it
too. we [can't/can] solve communism, which is the best system for the future
because everyone gets whatever they want. we just... built enough factories.
and then, since our culture burned out in a FLASHBANG, unfortunately the rest
of it was lost.
that future totally sucked. but good news is we preserved what we had of the
present, and here let's just revive them in some distant and far-off day.
