Need free food, rent, healthcare, education, and housing first. As long as we still need money to pay for those things then there’ll always be too few experts with skills willing to work for free.

I literally just said that we’re looking at the top and not doing anything about it. MAGA are eating up the “culture war” bullshit and are even shooting their own daughters over it. Tell me where in my comment where I said we should shoot them back, I’m saying that “we are the bottom looking at the top and ain’t doing shit.” Be sure to let me know when lawyers or general strikes happen or start working because shit’s going downhill real fast, and we’re looking at the monsters on the top and saying “they deserve peace.”

It is a fucking war - a class war. You’re the one eating up the bullshit that these billionaires deserve a peaceful response. Good luck with that as they laugh looking down at your peaceful protests from their penthouse windows. As they look at our precious legislation as pieces of paper to wipe their asses with. At least I’m not eating up the whole “the system will fix itself” narrative.

A las, capitalism wins again. I don’t like it, but it’s a fact.

True, it seems only MAGA are doing any real fighting. The rest of us are just “too good to stoop to their level” type thing. They stormed the capitol over what they believed to be an unfair election. We look at a capitol filled with paedophilic murderous fascists and all we do is bitch online about it while waiting for someone else to do something.

They’ve yet to be added in post-production.

That’s one fat leopard.

Open source built the web

Yeah and how’s that working out, in the context of the subject of this thread. I don’t see any open-source communities competing with Google or Microsoft or Palantir.

Open source community always loses to capitalists, because people won’t do the work unless there’s money involved. Otherwise there would be open source alternatives that are better and more popular. What incentive do smart programmers have to help the open source community when they’re better off earning 180k+ per year programming for the financial sector? Especially in this ever increasingly oppressive economy. I’m sorry but unless leftists are donating billions to the open source community, it’s idealistic at best to depend on them.

Both sponsored by the US Government.

The last 150 years of British and American history in particular, really the whole history of European (Western/white) civilization since the Holy Roman Empire. “Fascism is colonialism turned inward” and all that.

“Is this meant to be your shield, my lord? A piece of paper?”

Why?

sadly the sheer amount of collateral damage more than offsets it

Covid killed David Graeber that shit was not fair.

I have not read that, no. I have heard of the series before though.

Does the South really have those things flipped? Does the South really have more of a population that the East and West coasts combined? More land area sure, but aren’t they currently at the economic mercy of the East and West coasts?

While my theory is based on various sci-fi so should be taken with a mine of salt, my guess is that USA will split into three different countries: NUSA (lol Cyberpunk) which will comprise of the original 13 colony states and the upper North East, The California Republic which will essentially be the West and NW and in good relations with NUSA but with different legislature, and the South which might be called anything from Texas, New Texas, Republic of Texas, or New Louisiana Territory, which will essentially be a war-torn area full of religious extremists not unlike Middle-Eastern areas after the West had their way with them. It will be full of forever wars by religious factions funded by the MIC shareholders of various other countries but in the public face it’ll be covered by the media as religious extremism and/or patriotic fanaticism while ignoring the material reality and history of the situation.

“Surely our models are more true than the laws of nature.”

I was just trying to think of the most fair but merciful solution. I am certainly not opposed to them receiving a traitors consequence, however.

I meant every word I said. These people should be walking freely with a branded T on their foreheads so people will forever know who they’re talking to. YOU went the extra step by saying that’s comparable to fucking death camps?!?! If anything I was being merciful, the world might actually be better off without them. But I’m kind enough to let them continue to participate in society, only so that they come with a visible warning to the kinder majority.

Then you walk in and suggest “Might as well put them in death camps then.” You sure you’re not a fascist? Either you are because you feel threatened by people being able to identify you as such, or because ideas such as death camps come awfully easy to you. Either way, thanks for identifying yourself to us.

If there is a full blown civil war in America, it won’t be long till those guns start pointing towards CEOs and the billionaire class.

Very interesting how you decided to go there. What part about what I said prompted you to suggest camps?
