The ruling class is allowed to inflict infinite violence upon you, but the moderators here do not allow for you to suggest the ruling class shouldn’t have a monopoly on violence.
It is typical liberal behavior, enforcing the status quo for no reason other than civility.
You follow the skewed evidence that the mainstream liberal media feed you to keep you in line with the narratives that keep the powerful in power.
Must be hard sheltering your dying world view from reality all the time. You have my pity.
Okay, great, so we’re all in agreement here, Marxism-Leninism is auth left. That’s the only point I care to discuss here.
You know fine well what it is, an authoritarian state with a great deal of control over the people living under it. You can argue that this authoritarianism is justifiable because it’s the best way to bring about communism, but it’s still auth left. Heck, we currently live under an extremely authoritarian right wing system, so it could be less authoritarian than the current system but still remain authoritarian in the full balance considering alternatives, and thus auth left.
I hope this helps clear things up for you.
You sure do love deep throating that boot, huh? Are you a small business?
Wow, you had two links that you made look like a single link then acted like it was my fault for not realizing it? Okay lmfao, very obvious good faith discussion right here, it’s definitely not worth my time trying to convince you by finding sources that clearly show that Americans overwhelmingly support socialist policies but do not identify with socialist or leftist labels because of a lack of political education.
You can believe whatever you want. Infosec.pub always has bad takes. I’m like 99% sure at this point that it runs out of Eglin.
The auth left really sure do hate being called auth left, don’t they?
If you can’t see how layoffs are used to suppress worker rights and keep pay as low as possible then I’m sorry but you are a total fool.
Wow, what a surprise, someone who believes that two party politics is representative of the left/right of politics is wrong about things.
Right+Center > 50% of electorate.
You’re wrong, but of course you’re welcome to your opinions.
Or, you know, workplaces organize and form strong labor unions?
How does boot taste?
The pilots ejected safely,
That’s a shame. Ah well, hopefully the jets are completely scrapped.
It can be a form of harm reduction at best. For the few minutes it takes to postal vote, I feel like it’s worthwhile, personally.
It isn’t just ineptitude. Of course executives at Microsoft know that they could be good and be successful with consumers. But they don’t need to please consumers, they have far more important customers: the surveillance state, and the military industrial complex.
Once corporations have a near-monopoly position, they do not need to make good products anymore. Microsoft has enough money already to completely fail at everything for centuries and they’d be just fine. So they can focus on other goals, such as dismantling online anonymity for the benefit of the ruling class, who owns and controls Microsoft.
Anyone who wouldn’t go with China over Amerisrael a million times over is simply a victim of unbelievable volume of propaganda.
The US is by far the single worst, most oppressive country on the planet and it isn’t even close.
Canada is part of five eyes and is functionally a US vassal. There’s little difference between a Canadian tech company and an American tech company.
This also goes for most NATO countries

Pure cope and denialism, through and through. You need to allow yourself to face reality. I know it’s uncomfortable and scary, I know nobody wants to feel disillusioned and disenfranchised, but it beats being under the illusion that the democratic party are doing everything they can to beat the republicans and deliver a progressive policy platform.
It is overwhelmingly obvious that mainstream democrats are more focused on fighting their left flank than they are about winning. They would rather lose as centrists than win as a left-leaning party. That’s why they snatched Clinton’s defeat from the jaws of Bernie’s victory, that’s why they constantly cry about Hasan Piker, it’s why they refused to primary a candidate in 2024 and it’s why Kamala advocated for republican policies (harder border, pro-military/military industrial complex, and so on.
The democrats try to strike a balance between the base of the democratic party (generally progressive people) and the donors of the democratic party (corporations, billionaires, Israel, lobbyists) but when it comes down to a conflict, the party has and always will side with the money.
