flandish

but damn it I … I am hrm. no excuse.

what are they distracting us from?

solid fair point. class consciousness is the first step.

i think “progressive” as a concept does not exist in either current US political party, in a manner that affects (effects?) meat-space reality. The reality is that both rep and dem parties are conservative in their own ways, the former is outward and forceful with it and the latter is hidden and corporate with it.

they both are regressive to the working class.

they both (in different ways) enable a fascist state to take hold, albeit at different rates of implementation.

edit: to add re my “right wing” remark - both parties in the US are right wing. Neither is “the left” even if dems seem to be “to the left” - they are both right of center.

anyone who has touched either party should never again be trusted. let them infight all day long. he is a wolf trying to switch teams. good thing the democrats are also right wing fascists.

capitalism leads to price increases. tariffs taxes fees … all a part of capitalism

what? no. just my best friend’s older brother who happened to be a sexual predator.

what about men who struggle with finances? i am shit with money. this qualifies as a shitpost reply.

s/alleged//gic;

turns out 300 million people in debt and illness is 6 men’s profit opportunity 😂

except on a long enough scale - ie day zero - they are. capitalism uses the marketing of the concept of democracy to convince the working class to give more and purchases the exact opposite of democracy in the form of laws and “benefits” from the ruling class. see also: monopolies and mergers.

how is anything we have a “democracy?”

capitalism is not democracy - and capitalism always keeps profit as its first goal. that includes ensuring people cannot rise up enough against it because they are swamped with debt and illness.

how was it not at the least a crime against humanity during war? was what the nazis did not “technically” a crime at some point? no. it was always a crime.

the point is that the US has used nukes, they didn’t even need to, but chose to to “scare” the watching communists next door.

some of us were just too young to remember the taste. thankfully

The US has USED nukes though - no other nation has. as it is, the US has war crimed with nukes far more than any other nation.

i the same way the US did to japan when they actually did war crimes with nukes?

what’s different about iran having nukes than say the US having them?

“extract” 9.8 billion from the “root” of all wealth, the working class. a very “toothy” proposition.

i wish I had 1% of that this week, lol. i’ll draw furries for 1%. may include crayon INSIDE the lines!

don’t forget “cost” means “profit for insurance and providers and drug corps.”
