OH NO CHINA MIGHT GET YOUR CAR DATA?!

y’all been taking some Ls lately. If I were Canadian I’d pretend to be American

A reaction does not imply consciousness. Water reacts when it hits fire by turning into steam and putting out the fire. That doesn’t make the water or the fire conscious.

Never watched TV shows with your kids? Boomer stoner dad never crossed your mind!

Adventure Time and Total Recall

Basically everything around you is not there by happenstance but because of hundreds of years a very specific economic arrangement of society. You would be hard pressed to find anything touched by humans in the last 200 years that doesn’t have capitalist contradictions embedded into it

There’s some countries I visit where I don’t even think about attempting to rent a car, the traffic is just too chaotic and stress inducing. I’d rather pay twice as much for taxis or just walk.

no human face to mediate relations, so we’re all just faceless cars beeping and honking at other faceless cars. Makes it easy to get angry

Trust me I’ve experienced a lot more reactionaries than you

then genzedong, quarantined

at this point all that’s left is true anon and some dead theory subs

Any opinion left of the democratic party will get you banned as well, don’t be presumptuous

I’ve been banned from Reddit multiple times for being an outspoken communist

They killed dozens of unarmed soldiers, hanging them by their necks and immolating their corpses. Many of the deaths were done by the mob and they started the lethal violence. They had hundreds of guns out of nowhere, likely supplied by the CIA. Good riddance to these fascist, west-collaborating “students” and the dupes who followed them.

Liberals always handwring at their enemies suppressing internal problems with unsophisticated violence, but that’s often the only tool these nations have to sustain their own existence. They don’t have sophisticated surveillance deep states with media narrative control, just simple brute force. It’s why Liberals were aghast at “Assad using barrel-bombs on his own population” - the preferred method is to destroy street movements via a complex suite of spying, targeted media narratives, sheepdogging, hidden plain-clothes operatives, targeted assassinations of leadership like how Ferguson and the 2020 riots were handled. Assad had one button to have his nation continue to exist, and it was “drop the barrel bombs on the jihadists hiding in apartment complexes” so he pressed it. That makes him a giant villain to Liberals, despite their own funding of jihadists being the very reason he had to push that button.

China at the time of Tiananmen was an unsophisticated state in its suppression capabilities. It had one button to deal with the revolt and continue to exist. I don’t believe it was a mistake for them to push it. You can contrast this to how the Hong Kong colonialist petty bourgie revolt was squashed, with 0 deaths. China would obviously prefer 0 deaths, they just didn’t have the capabilities at the time.

There’s a difference between quickly suppressing a color revolt that is killing soldiers vs. invasions and coups that kill and displace millions of people. If Tiananmen revolt had spread or succeeded then a LOT more people would have died, and China would now be a western puppet instead of a sovereign nation.

One of these is not like the other

I don’t think “I don’t like my job” is politically divisive.

This is absolutely a political statement. Your work and conditions are political and can be changed only through seizing control and unionization, both political actions.

First one is about technology and alienation under a capitalist mode of production, discussing work and leisure. That’s political.

Third one is about dating and advertisements online, which is related to sexual politics and commodification of sex work online. Political.

Political memes are memes. sorry you dont like it sweetie

Unless you’re watching indie foreign flicks they were all produced, written and edited in Hollywood, regardless of where they were filmed

Nobody actually hates it, it’s just a joke that’s been dead for 3 decades and beaten into the ground
