When they talk about the fabled efficiency of capitalist production they always forget to ask themselves what is capitalism actually doing efficiently and is that a good thing.

Business Insider accidently rewriting Marx’s chapter on historical materialism from The German Ideology, and then saying that can’t be right…uh, because of human nature.

And then you screw up undoing the knot on your athletic shorts and now it’s a tangled mess and you can’t pull them down past your ass

No, but I’ve received a ton of vaccines and eat a ton of tofu.

God dammit. I was really excited for several seconds.

This was a truly radicalizing moment for me. The news was completely incoherent. The DOD rhetoric was that it was unintentional, but also no mistakes were made.

They just stonewalled any gently probing questions. Were there mistakes on maps? Of course there were no mistakes. But it wasn’t on purpose? That’s what we said!

I was in high school reading this, and learning that even the nice adults around me that I liked could be complete morons.

It’s gonna take people awhile to come terms with the collective west getting absolutely wrecked by the Russian untermensch.

Damn. I appreciate the optimism, but that’s the worst prediction of all time.

Last time I did it happened it was because I sneezed really hard because it was too dusty at work. Actually, that wasn’t the last time.

What’s HSR?

Oops

Genocide is how capitalist crises are resolved. I don’t see how this dynamic is changed under Trump or Biden. In fact, this particular genocide has been a multidecade project for both of their parties. They’re both in final solution mode. Maybe I’m being smug, but it’s also empirical reality. Shit, Biden is already president and he has refused to use the power of his position to stop it, which he could do completely at any moment.

Other than a meaningless air drop that literally kills people by crushing them how would this actually be different with Trump as president? With whatever differences you come up with, are those actually of consequence, or is it a slightly different way to carry out the exact same genocide?

This shit sucks. Don’t be mad at the people who notice.

You can’t even say the genocide is inevitable but at least you’ll get an increased minimum wage with Biden. He’s actively creating the false scarcity where reactionaries thrive. He’s their partner in this disaster. It doesn’t really matter if you vote for him or not because it all leads to genocide, but I’m telling you I’m not voting for him.

Are we talking about literally dropping aid onto Palestinians and killing them while also funding an army that’s committing a genocide against Palestinians? That’s not what I call saving lives.

I guess I’m just a smug asshole?

It gives Russia a reason to put Ukraine out of its misery and the US a reason to walk away?

Maybe the point of the NATO escalation was to get stochastic terrorism going in Russia. Ukraine is the new Afghanistan and Ukrainian terrorists can be the new Uighers. Now the US can be relatively hands off and finger wag about Russians violating the precious rights of a bunch of nazis.
