we must transcend the absurdity of the ontological dialectic and engage with our lack of reality

Not really enjoying the era where random billionaires get to decide what counts as “terrorism”

This is what the collapse of the USSR did to America.

The average Soviet citizen — toiling in a factory, living in a cramped apartment block — was the best friend the American middle class had, with it two cars and their suburban homes, and single income households...

Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline

Whoa seems like something happened around 1991 any thoughts on what

i love how we all hate flock cameras because of the obvious reasons (lack of privacy, being used to stalk, soooo many false accusations and arrests) but also the guardrail guy is showing how they will also just kill you bc of how negligently they are installed.

you can tell that the Soviet Union, even at the height of its revisionism, was a real check to the Capitalist world system

If you don't think political parties are cults, then explain how they got "conservatives" to love government overreach and "liberals" to love war.

America is going to be the first post-industrial nation to need a literacy campaign after a communist revolution

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

What an odd way of saying, “nearly half of American adults under 30 do not earn enough to afford housing.”

This isn’t “financial savvy.”
It’s a sign that there are limits to how far people can be exploited for housing.

If you’re wondering why all the models have been way too conservative, it’s because the surge of GHGs is unprecedented, the planetary climate system is far too complex for our puny brains to fully grasp, and there are strong incentives to appear moderate & sober

La culpa siempre es del aire acondicionado, de las duchas de más de 5’, del coche a gasolina del pobre… pero curiosamente nunca lo es de los jets privados, los campos de golf, la industria fast fashion, los centros de datos, de las toneladas de residuos y gases de las fabricas..

rising up requires organization. it requires money and arms. we are already so surveilled and so destitute, and so disconnected from each other, widespread collective action is challenging. also, movements like this tend to get wiped out before they can grow. (ie Black Panthers)

The most disturbing anecdote in this essay is from a grade-school teacher saying that on their first day of school kids used to cry because they missed their moms, and now they cry because they don’t have their tablets. If this isn’t fixed, it means civilizational collapse.

[Sean Padraig McCarthy @SeanMcCarthyCom]

Probably the most disturbing thing you regularly encounter in America is how many people have been socialized to worship the profit motive as some sort of God that holds higher value than things like children being able to play sports

[Max Tani @maxwelltani]

is this bad?

[Victims of Capitalism Memorial Foundation @karaokecomputer]

This should be the bare minimum entry level for any veteran - not just as a candidate for political office - but into revolutionary movement broadly; you should be ASHAMED of your “service”. You gotta get to a point where you stifle a gag whenever anyone thanks you for it.
