Under capitalism, Bobby Hill is superimposed on Dr Manhattan to say a lot about society. Under communism, Dr. Manhattan will be superimposed on Bobby Hill waxing passionate soliloquies about the gentility of the laborer.
That boy is right!
:Bwaaa:
Manufactured scarcity has never been as blatant as NFTs imo. So many companies openly bragging about how they’ve finally figured out how to restrict digital products, as if that’s a good thing. If Marx weren’t already dead, reading tweets from cryptobros surely would’ve killed him.
It did make the issues of landowners very clear to a lot of people I think when the land to be owned was made up. Not really much different than the real world, but real world land isn’t made up and also people need it to survive.
NFTs were a horrible and stupid thing, but I think it did make clear to people who didn’t realize it before how bad capitalism is.
One snippet of my radicalization came from a partner of mine who worked at Peet’s Coffee years ago. He told me that every night when the pastries were thrown away, the manager instructed the workers to pour bleach all over them so houseless folks couldn’t eat them. At the time I couldn’t believe it
I have no idea but I really do want to understand where it comes from. That should be my next neuro/psych rabbit hole
I hope the employees just said “yes, okay” and then didn’t do it. they’re not going to check
I hope so too, I know my partner wouldn’t have and quit shortly after. So sickening.
We need to start normalizing food banks. I haven’t gone yet, but I volunteered at one in my town and it was the coolest, they had a ton of organic food and people could pick and choose what they wanted instead of just having a sack of potatoes and beets thrown at them. I feel like if people were able to utilize food banks there would be more incentive/ability to buy local, too
