On the list of beefs I have with modern tech, this ranks pretty low of course. But it makes me just a little sad when I type “The Cure” into my music search and a song by Olivia Rodrigo pops up ahead of the band.

One could argue that a one party socialist government in which politicians debate over who will best serve the community is more democratic than a duopoly in which the oligarchs own both parties and voting determines only which empire managers will assist the oligarchs in plundering the nation.

People will tell you they’re too smart for religion while believing the corporate media, TV ads and everything they learned in high school history class. They’ll tell you they know better than to worship a god while worshipping celebrities and politicians.

There is simply no way to reconcile imperialism/the capitalist world order with democracy and human rights. This is the great contradiction of neoliberalism.

Is it bleak out there? Sure. But there is a dignity, an honor, a beauty in resisting evil even in a fight you can’t win. Ultimately, this is a struggle fought within. Maybe we’ll succeed in the end, and maybe we’ll get it all turned around. But even if not: Go down swinging.

Every time I open my phone to find an ad for something I was just talking about out loud in a personal conversation, I feel like I want to — Well, I’m not going to tell you what it makes me want to do because THEY’RE ALWAYS LISTENING!!!!

I firmly believe there is a connection between all the gender segregation we impose upon our children and masses of adult men that never stop to consider how their actions impact women. The best thing for a boy is to be around a lot of girls and women from a young age.

It should come as no surprise when institutions that crush protest against genocide also allow rape to go unpunished. The Epstein class does not care at all about human life. Power and profit are their only god. They believe your body is theirs to exploit. Resist or be ruled by demons.

Liberals will shame you for enjoying certain music/books/movies because the artists involved were “problematic” while streaming content over media platforms owned by oligarchs responsible for genocide, fascism, the surveillance state and global environmental devastation.

Help me out… Does this bode well for the future of our species or nah?

We live in strange times when nobody trusts the government, the media or big corporations - in fact, they generally loathe them and think they’re a bunch of war-mongering, child-trafficking greedy demons - but nobody feels responsible for offering meaningful resistance or building something better.

Over and over again, apologists will tell you that capitalism is about free markets and competition. But any time they are unable to rig the market and can’t compete with a public program, they sue.

Capitalism has us on a collision course with multiple extinction-level events, from environmental collapse to rogue AI to WWIII, and several more catastrophes that may cost millions of lives such as economic collapse or a data center-driven energy and water crisis. WE HAVE TO CHOOSE ANOTHER PATH.

“Don’t worry, capitalism will solve our problems with innovation.” That’s great, but here’s the thing: 1. It’s causing most of our problems. 2. Its only goal in the modern era is to increase the control of the many by the few.

Billions are spent to control the narrative in America, meanwhile Israel’s own media acknowledges these things to be true.

In most states you aren’t allowed to record a phone conversation without consent from both parties. But your phone, television and even your smart fridge (not to mention all the cameras everywhere) record you all the time and that’s apparently just fine.

Generally I’m not one of those “We need to bring back that old time religion” kinda people, but can we make usury a sin again?

Sometimes you get a picture that looks like it’s been filtered or edited when it hasn’t been.

Modern America must wake up to the historical reality that progress has only ever been won through sacrifice. Whatever we are unwilling to fight for, they will take from us. Obedience only helps the oppressor.

“At least America is a democracy, not a one party state like China.” If China had two communist parties, would that be democratic? “Of course not! If they’re both communist you still don’t have a choice!” But the US has two capitalist/imperialist parties. “But we’re a democracy.”

“Terrorism” is any act of resistance to imperialism, even when it isn’t violent.

It is estimated that up to 600k children go missing in the US every year. Remember that when Flock cameras are being used to catch people crossing state lines to buy weed.

You can’t even walk around your house listening to a podcast without being spied on. Remember to take out your earbuds before going to the bathroom or helping your young children change clothes.

Your government used to be afraid you’d become a communist if they didn’t ensure you were paid living wages, has good social programs, etc. They stopped being afraid of that and look what happened. FYI they’re not afraid of you being a Democrat - not even a progressive.

Members of Trump’s own family would not be donating millions to Democrat campaigns if they didn’t share a common vision for this country. Unsurprisingly, that vision includes letting Israel run the show.

Question for the “We should only resist in lawful ways” crowd: When the government announces that it is in the business of defending child traffickers and pedophiles, are we still obligated to obey the rules set and enforced by those with no moral compass of which to speak?

The market does not necessarily reward hard work and almost never rewards essential work, but it does reward whatever helps rich people get richer.

It’s not just your food. They’re poisoning us for profit. It’s everywhere.

Anyone else remember when blue voters were telling everyone that we just had to vote for Harris and the party would be pushed away from Israel and toward progressive policies later? But now it’s two years later and establishment dems continue to be pro-Israel and anti-M4A?

I’ll repeat my usual mantra here: If you think the Chinese system is bad, then you are left having to explain why a bad system is doing far more for their people and waaay less harm worldwide than our own. “Sure but they’re an authoritarian surveillance state!” So are we but without the healthcare.

Jon Moore @jonathanmoore1.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
They tell you we don’t need laws, we don’t need inspections, that the market will simply regulate itself. But when they got rid of the oversight, our food started poisoning everyone. Is anyone paying attention? Have we learned anything?

There is a big difference between activism as a lived practice and activism as an identity, in much the same way as there is difference between treating people with love and compassion vs telling everyone how spiritual you are or identifying yourself by your religious affiliation.

The wealthy don’t want to share power with the working class because they’re afraid that the poor would treat the rich as badly as the rich have always treated the poor. That is the source of your red scare, and the reason even progressive democrats are met with scorn.

Remember when DOGE was “cutting government waste”? That’s what happened to the regulators and inspectors responsible for (among other things) food safety. Keep that in mind when your blueberries put you in the hospital.

I would like an explanation for why millions of Americans will damn near start a revolution over vaccines but sit on their hands when their food, water and air are all poisoned and they can’t afford the resulting medical bills. Please make it make sense.

Teaching children submission to authority as virtue is a form of abuse. Eventually they grow up and capitulate to the worst people on earth. Tyranny cannot hold power without the cooperation of the masses.

Perhaps it is time to admit that allowing corporations to run the government has not been in our best interest. Also, food for thought: What happens when the FDA stops issuing recalls because the shareholders decide they’re bad for the bottom line?

I wonder how many of that 92% reflexively oppose socialism. It’s time for us to recognize that it’s not mere coincidence that we can’t afford to see a doctor and people in the countries that we’ve been told to hate can see one - and not even go bankrupt doing it.

Jon Moore @jonathanmoore1.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
So South Korea is proposing talks to end the Korean War, Trump announced a significant scaling back of military presence and drills on/near the Korean Peninsula, and liberals are reflexively saying this is bad? Ever think this country can’t progress because we’re so addicted to imperialism?

Not that they need the excuse since they’re already virtually unaccountable. But you know this is only going to make things worse, right?

Don’t know who needs to hear this, but surveillance isn’t just about the police watching us. It’s about the ruling class watching us. It’s about wealthy elites being able to keep track of anyone anywhere any time so that they can dictate every single choice you make and action you take.

As much as we can, we need to grow our own food - at home, in community gardens, wherever and however we can.

Do not be alarmed by the panic from Republicans and establishment Democrats directed toward the leftward movement of the people. This is how we begin to get the change we want. Voting for more of the same has repeatedly failed.

Not only has everything gotten more expensive, but the quality has (intentionally) dropped. The sooner it breaks, the sooner you get a new one. My dad still has a working pair of headphones he bought half a century ago. I’ve yet to find a set of bluetooth earbuds that lasts more than a year.

Capitalism is when profit makes our decisions rather than humanity. Enjoy your flesh eating bacteria everybody! Remember: Your sacrifice allowed a few very wealthy people to get just a tiny bit richer.
