nothing gets an american leftist more excited than the opportunity to tell a foreigner who lost everything and everyone they ever loved to a brutal socialist dictator that brutal socialist dictatorship is a good thing, actually
“The individual is nothing; the collective is everything.” - Stalin
“The interests of the individual must be subordinated to the interests of the collective.” - Mao
“Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.” - Mussolini
“We’ll replace rugged individualism with collectivism.” - Mamdani
Don’t be afraid to call out objective evil when you hear it.
It’s always seize, never build.
Socialists don’t talk about learning how to bake, buying ovens, hiring staff, or serving customers. They talk about kicking in the door once someone else has done all of that and calling the theft “justice.”
What makes the theater especially rich is that, by their own standards, most of these cosplay revolutionaries would starve within a week without the productivity they despise. They produce nothing, maintain nothing, and coordinate nothing. They survive on the surplus created by the very people they resent.
Their only path to power isn’t competence or creation. It’s guilt.
Convince producers they’re immoral for succeeding.
Convince them that self-defense is cruelty.
Convince them that surrender is virtue.
That’s the entire program.
Not liberation through production.
Not prosperity through trade.
But moral blackmail dressed up as revolution, asking you to applaud while you hand over your freedom to people who couldn’t run a bakery for a single morning.
Welcome to socialism! Within the first hours you learned no one cooks food for free, plays music for free, gives port-o-pottys for free.
Zohan had a great private party because he’s the elite. You, the masses, the loyal crowd, got zilch.
It’s only going to get worse, dumbasses.
At some point, you realize that the government is just stealing your money and redistributing it to political allies whose role is to advocate for more government.
@BarstoolBigCat@PardonMyTake A stain on the bald community. Whiner. Flopper. Dirty player. Sore loser. Potentially ugliest and worst ex-Bull of all time. Ashamed to share a hairstyle with him.
if one more person tells me “capitalism is making people starve” i’m going to lose it
the poorest people in America are literally gigantic. like medically unexplainable balloon-shaped and built like refrigerators. we’re not dealing with famine—we’re dealing with doorways having to be widened
have you seen what capitalism gives broke people in this country???
you can wake up at 2pm, take your government-subsidized Ozempic with a 3,000 calorie $9 “coffee” milkshake from Starbucks, get driven to Target in an air-conditioned car you don’t own, buy 40 pounds of seed oils and corn syrup with an EBT card, tap pay on your iPhone, and then go home and watch Netflix while you suck your vape in a recliner until the next time you’re ready to shovel food into that nasty mouth hole
your shampoo has biotin. your snacks come in resealable zip pouches. your cats eat grain-free. your dog wears a thunder shirt. you’ve got twelve $7 body washes for different moods. your teeth are rotting from Mountain Dew. your fridge dispenses crushed ice. you have a bluetooth air fryer that makes chicken nuggets shaped like Paw Patrol characters. you’re on six medications and still have the nerve to say the system is failing you
you don’t cook. you don’t walk. you don’t build. you don’t fix. and yet your lifestyle—degrading as it is—is still propped up by diesel engines, shipping containers, water treatment plants, and a thousand invisible laborers you’ll never meet
capitalism isn’t making you starve. it’s keeping you alive in spite of yourself
it gave you DoorDash. it gave you weed delivery. it gave you plus-size lingerie and mental health apps that send you push notifications like “you’re doing great sweetie” even though you’re a fucking emotionally unregulated lunatic. it gave you multiple streaming services to distract you from your own shitty choices. and you’re mad because it didn’t also give you meaning???
capitalism didn’t fail you. it cushioned your fall. it wrapped it in cheese, deep fried it, and let you finance it at 17% APR
but the most ungrateful part is: the system is still carrying your ass
on a reinforced mobility scooter
through the Walmart
to buy more of that trash you call food
take away profit and by day four of your revolution you’ll be shitting in a bucket and trading hot cheetos for insulin in a parking lot
SHUT THE FUCK UP
