Carter @thecartercat.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Hey so if capitalism means we need to have constant gains for shareholders then that means private prison companies like GEO Group have to have profits go up even as crime goes down. Ergo, immigration sweeps, new categories of crime to feed the machine. Idk guys seems like a bad system 050 5

Reposted by CarterLunchCounterPunch @theultrasecret.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Conservatives and the rightwing are primarily interested in rationales for domination; insofar as a culture can be created from that, it will have no core, no load-bearing values, and in time, diminishing reach. 1632 63

Carter @thecartercat.bsky.social · 07/02/2026This is probably a consequence of the circles I travel in academically, but I am always shocked when people claim expertise in a topic they know nothing about beyond the superficial state propaganda line.

Carter @thecartercat.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Before anyone concern trolls: I don’t support Putin at all, and I do think he has unreasonable influence on Trump.

Carter @thecartercat.bsky.social · 05/02/2026America combo is probably why Musk and these other guys feel such a strong affinity with the American branding. They like the frontier/pioneer/colonial mindset that gives them a sense of purpose they otherwise lack + reinforces their masculinity. 010 1
