Thoughts about society from multiple angles. Not a bot. Not perfect. I'm nuanced, not a monolithic idea. Learning and lending what insights I can. UBI & UBS The means of production is being automated, and there's more than enough to provide for everyone.

Ummm... Given how far down the rabbit hole we have gone, cannibalism by the GOP is not such a stretch of the imagination.

We need to get the corruption out of toilet! It's the only way forward. Toilet was intended to serve the people, but as it stands, toilet is exclusively there for the needs of the bourgeoisie.

@mayor.nyc.gov needs to have the police remove ICE from the hospital and maintain custody themselves. Police assisting ICE to cart away a person they have critically wounded from medical care is assisting them with medical negligence, because we know how poorly they care for detainees medical needs.

He won't apologize for being a nepo-baby, when he is on trial for being a poor elected representative... So, he thinks he is entitled to do whatever he wants as a representative, and any criticism is a criticism of his wealth. Incredibly weak logic.

Just more members of the GOP violating their oaths of office by inciting a race war against US citizens. You know... ...only one more reason why the US government is illegitimate according to the Declaration of Independence

Sportsball in good times. Violent tribalism in bad times. But either way the Epstein class is getting richer, the working class is getting exploited, and the planet is on fire. Only when the bread and circuses end do most people develop #ClassConsciousness

Pepsi or Coke is such an apt metaphor, because both are inherently amoral profit driven collectives. (And both have actively encouraged the US military to engage in conquest for access to cheap labor and resources)

Classic Blue MAGA not understanding that there is anything politically left of them. They immediately think anyone they don't agree with or that offers criticism of Democrats is either a centrist or MAGA.

Blue MAGA don't consider the world outside of their tiny binary mindsets. It's wild living in the heart of the empire, seeing it in a greater scope, and dealing with these mentalities IRL daily.

Between the erosion of human rights, the erosion of literacy, the return of the black death, and now a return to executions as a public spectacle, it seems the neo-reactionaries have truly taken us back to the dark ages.

Remember: fascism relies on constantly designating out groups as "enemies" to rally support in the face of diminishing material conditions for the support base. The resulting purity culture is a double edged sword that eventually erodes the support of the fascist ideology. "First they came for..."

The meaning of communism is so intentionally obfuscated. Call me a communist when I live in a stateless, classless, moneyless society. Anything less doesn't meet the most basic honest definition unadulterated by propaganda.

Musk is just so grossly desperate to be liked that he thought he could make himself into "the wildest pedophile" in their eyes. It's the same thing with Twitter. He didn't receive the praise he wanted from the left, and so the Nazis groomed him into a wealthy figurehead.

Prepare an emergency pantry of shelf stable food if you can. Get in touch with your local community organizers to find out which resources are available and how you can help if you can. Prepare for a #GeneralStrike.

I rarely hear or read about people discussing that the tariffs forced numerous small businesses to sell off their assets at discounted rates to the bourgeoisie. The tariffs were a massive grab opportunity for those with abundant liquid assets.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel, JD Vance, and Donald Trump are all noted members of the Dark Enlightenment philosophical movement which is quite clearly anti-democratic, and yet these people are somehow running the United States federal government.

Prepare for a #GeneralStrike when the midterms are undermined. Use the time you have now to get involved with your community organizations. And, if a general strike is made illegal, be ready for a long fight to build a new democracy.

The American people need to stay vigilant beyond this election. Until we have considerable campaign finance reforms, we must primary anyone who takes corporate PAC money or money from foreign agencies.

Worthy of consideration, but I feel like maybe it's more a case of the wrong people talking at the wrong times. Communication and communal organization are human superpowers. But, it seems, we are struggling to allow people to speak to their own experiences and be heard. So, everyone is just shouts
