Once a country is built on slavery and genocide, its trajectory is set in stone.

Voting does not stop fascism. Lula isn't perfect by any means, but the fact that another Bolsonaro is this close to holding power again--even with US meddling--really shows how useless electoralism is. Watch the fascist "win" and imprison Lula on false charges again.

It's wild that the gameplay loop of most popular online multiplayer games boils down to putting players in a room together and having them repeatedly kill each other.

Also, notice how a lot of the same people that think rape and genocide require "nuanced" conversations believe that you should throw the book at poor people stealing food to survive.

ok new test: if you think rape is bad and should never be tolerated, like and repost this. if you think rape is a “complex issue,” just type “not all sexual assault is rape” in the comments.

People have been trained to accept anything, so long as it's been authorized through established processes and systems. Every horrible thing you can imagine is acceptable, so long as it's been sanctioned by the state and made "official."

If you critically examine the "logic" at play in this entire situation, it reveals the contradictory, faux morality of modernity. We've instituted barbarism, while pretending to be humane about it, and the state is angry that the illusion sold to the public has been shattered by incompetence.

In a capitalist society, the worst people have the loudest voices and biggest platforms, because the entire system incentivizes abuse, exploitation, and just being terrible human beings overall.

It's good that people understand what's happening, but the response to the aggressive corporate power grab we're seeing is still too atomized. Everything boils down to individual "choice" rather than organizing collectively to force the systemic adoption of consumer rights and digital ownership.

At this point, I don't see how anyone can deny that the goal of DemSocs is to save capitalism. He's literally selling capitalism as socialism. Social Democracy is a capitalist scam designed to prevent real socialism.

That is not socialism. Zohran is at best a reformer and idealist while more importantly he's a barrier which stops more people from becoming involved with actual socialist movements.

In this celebrity-obsessed culture, it created thousands of cult leaders, whose followers will defend everything they do. The bad far outweighs any good that the platform has done, just like Twitch. Introducing stuff like that in a capitalist society is incredibly destructive.

This is the same university that infamously installed suicide nets under bridges to keep students from killing themselves rather than addressing the stress, isolation, and mental health challenges the institution was causing. They don’t engage in “soul searching.” They just make “problems” go away.

If your strategy is to keep Republicans out of power forever, you're basically advocating for a one-party system--which, in fairness, is basically what we already have. It's undemocratic and runs counter to your professed mission. If you want to stop fascists, you can't rely on electoralism.

It's unbelievable how much time, energy, and resources are wasted on electoralism when it does absolutely nothing to stop fascism. It's especially futile in a rigged two party system where the other side is guaranteed to get back into power eventually. Voting does not stop fascism.

What exists is the result of deliberate choices. None of it is coincidence. Every aspect of a university is meticulously designed, reviewed by the administrative bureaucracy, and filtered through institutional processes. If something is a certain way, it’s because money and power wants it to be.

Living in a neoliberal dystopian hellscape @breakify.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
When you look at issues like this, you need to ask yourself why things are set up this way and who maintains it. Who benefits from the status quo at major universities? What purpose does it serve? Why are elite universities all so fucking rotten?

It’s not a coincidence that they’re a socialization and networking mechanism that’s been fully integrated into student life. At a lot of schools, if you opt out of the alcoholism and toxic culture of Greek Life, you become a social pariah. The whole institution causes immense harm to young people.
1122
Living in a neoliberal dystopian hellscape @breakify.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Greek Life shouldn’t exist at all, and the only reason that frats continue to be a thing is because rich donors that are part of the patriarchal ruling class and exercise control over most university boards use them to perpetuate and spread their capitalist culture to young men.

Privileged white CIS male grievance is the reason why we can’t have nice things. The argument against everything is always, “Someone else will benefit and not me.” Not everything is about you. The conservative argument deployed by both parties weaponizes this mentality to tear down social programs.
