Bug (Wet Work) Man @bugman.wetbug.work · 30/09/2026The solution is to take the decision away from the families whose succession is based on the rape factories. Which, as with essentially everything, ultimately reduces down to taking the means of production away from the ruling class. 110
Bug (Wet Work) Man @bugman.wetbug.work · 30/09/2026Banning frats would force a very old form of class reproduction to find a new channel. It won’t happen till there’s a replacement already serving that purpose. 120
Bug (Wet Work) Man @bugman.wetbug.work · 30/09/2026Bonesmen need to have a carrot to dangle, their bagmen need something for their family to aspire to. 120
Bug (Wet Work) Man @bugman.wetbug.work · 30/09/2026Practically speaking it absolutely is. Lower-tier members of the ruling class/high-tier working class need to be able to replicate the social reproduction mechanisms of the elite or they’ll lack an interface protocol with the big dogs. 220

Bug (Wet Work) Man @bugman.wetbug.work · 29/09/2026Yeah, the social failure absolutely does exist, it’s just that the courts don’t have the resources or statutory powers/instructions to act.

Bug (Wet Work) Man @bugman.wetbug.work · 29/09/2026I emphatically agree, but, based only on the facts in the video, “Arm trans people [including specifically NYT employees convicted of child abuse]” is a lot to overcome, even to a sympathetic audience. 100

Bug (Wet Work) Man @bugman.wetbug.work · 28/09/2026There’s no reason to have this fight rn. We have the society we have, and it gives us the tools it has to give us.

Bug (Wet Work) Man @bugman.wetbug.work · 28/09/2026The problem with everything is that it’s owned by people who listen to its whispers in their ear that tell them owning more of everything will make them happy.
