love the new digs but unfortunately it’s not as fun upvoting “kill slave owners” etc posts when you know there’s no potential for it to help directly piss off some dorky neolib tech bros …still pretty fun though
woof
red big money man bad! blue big money man good!
I eat as much as I can as fast as I possibly can until I barf then I eat that too
Recently I was talking to a buddy of mine about how shitty and inadequate the dems response to the whole USPS thing is and how everyone should be resisting encroaching fascism way harder and his response was basically “lol people voted for fascists what do you expect them to do ¯_(ツ)_/¯”. Like real talk how the fuck do you combat brainworms like this? “Sorry sweaty we can’t fight fascists unless we follow the rules”
He has good instincts any time I manage to frame something in a way that doesn’t trigger the neoliberal narrative he’s been fed his whole life, like when I laughed at people concern trolling over that wendys and he totally agreed it was shitty and dumb to be more concerned about that than the lives of people being murdered. But as soon as I try to expand that consciousness beyond generally dunking on wealthy elites and into a more broad and systemic understanding of how wealth and material interests contribute to all of this, especially if I ever criticize the dems and their place within it, he just shuts down and repeats muh electoralism shitlib talking points.
healthcare pls
Them: Guys you’re just not thinking about this right, capitalism drives innovation. Just look at stuff like machine learning - we can literally teach computers to solve problems too difficult for us! Just imagine all the things we can do with this to make the world a better place!
Also them: Listen so we need a guy to monitor the output of our ML algorithms to tell us if the peons are getting uppity so we can fire all of them
