The fact this kind of stuff keeps happening yet people still say AI is inevitable is funny as hell.

Even parasites are important to the environment. Also, if you wanna be dragged down to hell, don’t pull us with you.

None of them realized it before? Well then, if you can talk the talk, walk the walk and quit in masse.

They sort of were. They just didn’t have a word for it.

Human society was communist for over a hundred thousand years before the idea of empires and cities came along. Indigenous communities lived under what we would call communism in the modern day until feudalism was invented.

The USSR was not communist. They had a communist ideology, sure, but the definition essentially comes down to a communist society being stateless while also being a dictatorship of the proletariat (that is, ALL the workers are essentially the leader at the same time and they make decisions collectively through direct democracy). And the USSR could only barely fit that definition for about one or two years before Lenin essentially steered it into a regular autocratic dictatorship with communist aesthetics.

At that point it’s potato, potay-toh. Marx and pretty much every communist philosopher defined it as stateless.

There is no state in a communist society.

Nah, I don’t think they did. The thing is that nowadays anyone who claims to be an anti-feminist gets instantly clocked as a misogynistic incel, so they hide behind the “protecting women” idea now.

I always thought it was kind of a terrible term even in my early days on the internet, but TERFs would indeed fall under this nowadays. But alas, the only people who used it were angry anti-feminists, so I think it’s never going to come back again.

Sir comic security man, I think YOU are the one who needs to be pepper sprayed.

Stop cropping the artist’s signature you clown.

Yeah, where do you think we are? lol

And that’s why everyone is sailing again.

Funny thing that came with this: apparently Micron’s stock fell off a cliff, and apparently so did RAM prices? Can’t confirm that later one.

I’m sure you’ll be able to win against full-blown fascism with strongly worded letters. Ask Neville Chamberlain to know how that went.

“it would be better if there were fewer guns”

There are 470 million guns in the US. This conversation is a non-starter. You are not putting that ketchup back in the bottle. Not without causing millions of deaths. It would be exactly what ICE is doing, except everyone’s got guns.

There’s something that most resistance groups know about that is called “winning the narrative”. If you open fire first, it’s easier for the government to justify cracking down on you as a “violent terrorist”.

Ask an aboriginal what they think of the police.

And that’s a justification for rolling over and doing nothing? In the US, armed protests don’t usually get messed with because open carry isn’t illegal everywhere. Hell, Ronnie Reagan banned open carry in California exactly because the Black Panthers were copwatching with guns and the kkkops didn’t like it.
