This shows how weak the Republican’s platform is. They aren’t attacking policy at all - it’s culture wars bull shit. All they can say is vague shit like communism without pointing to anything relevant in policy. Piker isn’t running. These are sloppy desperate fear tactics.

This is what capitalism does. Its endless profit growth requirement is not possible under any real market conditions. So it inevitably starts squeezing it’s own customers and degrading it’s own service to maintain these unrealistic demands for profit. The more consolidated the market becomes, the worse the outcomes. Anti-trust was always a half measure. The problem is capitalism is inherently unsustainable and can only lead to negative outcomes for it’s products and services over time. Nothing can grow infinitely and that pursuit will always collapse bringing societal pain.

Assuming the serious drug bust pose around toilet paper is meant to be a joke - that’s pretty funny.

Facial recognition should never be a basis for arrest. It should only ever be used to narrow results and point an officer down a path to get concrete evidence. Facial recognition algorithm output should not be admissible as evidence.

Imagine the pettiest you have ever felt towards someone in your life - an X who hurt you, a friend who betrayed you, etc. Now imagine that is the drive behind your entire personality - pure narcissistic greed and envy. That’s who Trump is. Anyone who can’t or won’t aggrandize or flatter him is an enemy.

If you are ever near Fort Wayne Indiana, stop in. They are just as cool in person and their show room is awesome.

I would love to see the winner get on stage and promote a free Palestine between every song just to spite the zionist billionaires and their capitulators.

Hate is a multi-billion dollar business in America. The capital class spends obscene amounts of money to keep people hating each other and stoke the culture war. It’s the evolution of the old school union busting on the 1900s.

I don’t think anyone not living in America understands how deeply propaganda is pushed here across media and culture. The ruling class has distorted everything so much it’s hard to have a coherent conversation with most people on real issues. The misinformation and capital class talking points are intensely deep seated.

Billionaires are societal cancer. One person should not have unelected power at the scale a billionaire does. They need to be removed.

I’m tired of this notion that society must protect children from reality. If parents want to raise their kids in stupid sheltered worlds, that’s their stupid fucking choice and should go no further than their choices for their kids. Sheltering children is a stupid concept. Parents should be explaining the crazy shit kids will see and give them a healthy way to absorb the bad in the world not trying to act like it doesn’t exist. We shouldn’t have to bend over backwards to capitulate to their idea of how a kid should be raised. I shouldn’t have to give up my privacy to prop up their fantasy. Personally, every kid I’ve seen be sheltered ends up a more fucked up adult. The world is fucked, kids should learn how to live in it.

Joe Rogan is dumb. Why do we care about dumb guy opinions exactly?

Most of these billionaires only support Israel because its economy feeds America. Israel’s tech sector touches silicone valley in myriad ways. Israel’s lobbying arm gets politicians rich. Israeli aid gets spent with American contractors - especially military. It’s a big greedy circle jerk, not true solidarity on Israel’s actions. America only calls out genocide when its low stakes for the owner class or an enemy.

Highly recommend reading this book for more details on American interference in sovereign nations to protect corporate interests: https://ia600507.us.archive.org/0/items/ConfessionsOfAnEconomicHitman_257/JohnPerkins-ConfessionsOfAnEconomicHitman.pdf

Don’t forget, Iran was a democratic nation in the early 1950s until America fucked it up for corporate profits. We created the conditions that brought about the Iran regime to capitulate to corporate interests.
