What. The. Hell.
Tax filing websites have been secretly sending your financial information to Facebook and Google when you file your taxes online.
The data includes income, filing status, refund amount, and the names of your kids.
This should be a national scandal.
@UtopianFuturist @anarcho_owlism @sunflowertaters@SocialismS4A It only appears like no progress is being made to people who want the perfect society to appear RIGHT NOW! like children. Millions put their lives into building socialism and you dismiss it because it didn't work out. But the thing is, we learn from our mistakes and try again.
BREAKING: Workers at the Chicago Roastery, the biggest Starbucks in the WORLD, just filed for a union election. When they win, every Starbucks Roastery in North America will be union.
@UtopianFuturist @anarcho_owlism @sunflowertaters@SocialismS4A Capitalists don't like socialism, so they actively attack any challenges to their power either directly (invasions, embargos, sanctions, bribery, etc.) or through infiltration into the organizational structures (ie Yeltsin and all the spies during/after WW2).
@anarcho_owlism @sunflowertaters@SocialismS4A @UtopianFuturist That's because Marxists are materialist and Anarchists are idealist. Marxists believe in a series of changes to get to communism, not that it's possible for it to just happen overnight. Communism is the end goal, but socialism needs developing once the state is captured.
A silly joke I heard the other day that rings WAY too true lately.
Two conservatives meet.
First: "I'm a conservative."
Second: "Awesome. Me too. Want to go to a BBQ?"
First: "Absolutely!"
Two leftists meet.
First: "I'm a leftist."
Second: "Oh really? We'll see about that."
@deculturation@ASPertierra What's also interesting is how Millenials and Gen Z are having such a hard time acquiring houses. Does this mean they are less incentivised to have this reactionary property-based worldview?
Every discussion with Democrats:
Me: I need $10 to survive.
Democrats: I can give you $2
Me: well, then I’m gonna die
Democrats: republicans would only give you $1
Me: <dies>
Democrats: we did the best we could.
Someone please explain to me why police officers get to drive $60k blacked out Tahoes while the mail guy has to drive around in a 30 year old truck that gets 9mpg and has no airbags or air conditioning
So many LGBTQ people in the west are only “leftist” because it’s in their own personal interest, no class analysis, no international solidarity, no support for national liberation, no anti imperialism, I swear if these people weren’t LGBTQ they would be DeSantis supporters
