That was pretty funny

Lunchables aren’t even cheap, calorie for calorie. There’s probably more kJ you can get from pyrolyzing the plastic into crude than there is in the food itself.

That’s not food, you’re eating branding.

THIS EMPIRE, TOO, WILL BE ECLIPSED

I am certainly afraid of the contingencies of Project 2025. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to give up everything I’ve been working toward.

For several years already it has been part of my strategy to not hitch my hopes to state power. So now with the prospect of state power being outright hostile, that doesn’t change much. Acquire spaces, encounter working-class people, bring as many of them as possible on board as partisans. Accrue the ability to act cohesively and decisively, while minimizing exposure and traceability. Develop an economic base of workers’ cooperatives, that serves to provide comrades with a means of survival and also a deterrent for any direct action taken against us, because they’d be hurting their own national (and especially regional) economy. On the far horizon, construct a culture and dual power that can completely break from the surrounding state and culture if it needs to.

Yeah, I was thinking of Gilens and Page when I posted that.

Hoping it’s not too woke

It’s a good film, sir

You are so much more valuable than just your hours of labor at one job. If coworkers are pissing you off, they’ve probably taken it really far.

I hope you find a way to turn it on them, or possibly assert yourself to put an end to it. A job shouldn’t entail enduring harassment.

I wonder if there are polling agencies that survey the policy preferences of only rich people.

You could use those to make sickeningly accurate predictions about American political outcomes.

“Worst person you know” is not “handing it to him”.

Worldwide GDP per capita for the last decade has been around $11k. Given that purchasing power tends to be higher in peripheral countries, I would say that at least 10% of Americans have a worse QoL than the global average.

The worst person you knew just made a great point

There’s a point to be made that a 4-door ICE vehicle per person is a burden the planet cannot bear, and that incomes above $20k are predicated on trade imbalances. I wholeheartedly endorse that point, but maybe this isn’t the best way of making it.

Also, you don’t know any poor people?

Oui… hon hon hon… OUI!

It’s kind of insane how we grow grains and soy to feed to livestock hundreds of miles away.

The smart way to do it is to put the cows thru the pasture, then move the cows to the next pasture and move chickens into the vacated pasture, add another distinct animal plus a fallow stage, rinse and repeat… for minimal feed expenses.

But instead we have land and labor at a premium, and to address that we build gigantic tortuous ultra-prisons to keep livestock in, and mix trucked-in grain with an overload of antibiotics to feed birds and mammals that are already wallowing in their own shit.

Outlawing the CAFO is probably the #1 most plausible and effectual policy for mitigating global environmental disaster.

He had ten thousand men
He marched them up the hill
And then back down again

If you’re the Democrats, you win some and you lose some and you lose some more and you lose some more…

We’ve had a running gag for years that “everyone here is my alt”.

Periodic reminder that…

“Nobility” is to feudalism the way “leadership” is to capitalism
