The USA is such an unserious place with far too much influence on the rest of the world.
If a communist calls you deeply unserious, they're basically saying they want to kill you.
American political discourse is designed to make my mind shrink.
Every part of this is gibberish.
It's textbook anti-intellectualism. It's engrained into every aspect of this society.
Then they'd realize there's some serious issues with the way society is structured and therefore runs, and they'd demand changes, even the most mild of those would make the bourgeois very uncomfortable.
Oh no, this is like the site tagline that mocks me about how funny it would be if communism happened and I don't get invited. Guys, please, I want to be a part of the communist revolution
Lmao they're deluded. I wish communism was doing half the shit in the US that these weirdos think it's doing.
Fuck the term "illegal aliens". It's so forced and dehumanising. I only see Americans say it and it makes me cringe every time.
Most people I know use the even more dehumanizing term "illegals". Hot take: IDGAF if they're here illegally; fuck the great satan and its twisted laws!
it's crazy how internet-brained the far-right are, they're still obsessively fearful about their accounts getting throttled and shit like that whereas the left seems to have stopped being so fatally online in recent months. when eventually a real revolution happens in the west these people are going to be shocked when the revolutionary terror goes beyond social media and actually comes into their houses and arrests and executes them
Why do you think men with guns are at my door
Why do you think I'm being dragged out into the street
Why do you think they're shoving me into a van
Why do you think they're putting a bag over my head
Why do you --
Because we're in a communist

I imagine self-hosted fedi-instances could help mitigate the issue. Even if ISPs block a domain or IP, someone could always set up another one somewhere else.
I meant it in a double sense. In the first place, like you imply, all the corporate media would censor revolutionary organizing and speech. Secondly, the actual revolutionaries will not be terminally online do-nothings; by definition, if a revolution is happening, it’s because of people who went outside and made something happen in the real world.

True. Fuck, I really need to touch grass.
First they came for the Twitter accounts, and I did not speak out--
Because cumming is bourgeois decadence and it's not my place to kinkshame
"Why do you think the FBI is infiltrating churches?" I'd like to imagine they do it the same way they used to infiltrate communist groups in the 60/70s. It would be funny to see a church that's just
Imagining a pastor who fully knows his congregation is mostly feds but he's just happy the church's numbers are growing for once
Yeah, but then the
members start talking to the pastor about the Nephites and Kolob.
They must mean every other church because feds are Mormons and the only notable criminal case I can think of is Warren Jeffs
Wait but I thought Elon was based to these freaks? What changed? Does he not control Twitter anymore?
Lol, lmao
He paid billions to become the manager to appease a group that's systemically incentivized to yell at the manager
i had to look this bozo up.
she was the WH correspondent for ONA (a formerly obscure far right crank site that trump promoted when he got mad at Fox) during the trump admin, and then went to Newsmax (a more traditional, established far right crank site) when probably the biden team stopped giving OAN access lol. she was fired from Newsmax in 2022, after being suspended by twitter, for serious effort tweeting that the COVID vaccine was a plot by bill gates to do Mark of the Beast-style satanism by implanting bio-luminescent (Luciferase) trackers in people.
last year she tweeted out that the COVID vaccine had caused a meteoric rise in breast cancer for women under 50.
now she hosts a TV show on the Mike Pillow social media site called, no joke, The Absolute Truth. she has tons of other wacked out tweets, but those were kinda my faves.
anyway, before she became a trusted source in news for the kind of people that inject bleach, eat horse paste, and think JFK Jr. is going to materialize from heaven to install Trump as president of earth, Emerald Robinson was an actress with experience in being tall, maintaining an incredible head of blonde hair, and reading prompters well enough to imitate an informercial wonderbra salesperson, an entertainment news anchor, the host of corporate promotional material segments.
...
the existence of people like this is an indictment of many of the "prestige" televised news formats, because it's pretty clear that if you have someone attractive, well groomed, and articulate say things on TV, lots of people will believe it. legacy media rested for so long on their exclusive access to technology and platforms that delivered the faces/personalities they chose onto the 1-2 screens people watched. it's one of the reasons the onionTV and "weekend update" works so well, because it uses that simple format we've all normalized to be satirical. who would put a serious person in formal wear in front of a TV to read things in a professional tone if they were FAKE!? it's for true facts only!
anyway, now anybody conventionally attractive with like OBS, $400 worth of equipment, and a personal grooming budget can be on any screen, available 24-7.
in the hell on earth / 30 years war podcast series, Matt said this thing about how the printing press had a destabilizing effect on the defacto monopoly the church had held on the written word and the ability to transmit cultural information, including peoples' conception of the word of god with the bible being translated into languages of the common people but also printing press stories of peasant uprisings spreading quickly. he said it a lot clearer than that, of course. in effect, to see "god's message" or "truth", you no longer had to go to the church. of course, this was limited to people of means communicating with other literate people, but it was still a major shift in power and information distribution, taking centuries to fully unwind.
then he drew the parallel to today, where the internet and its technologies had made gods of us all and one doesn't even need to be all that literate to send or receive their truth to millions.

The sad part is that's not even the most batshit theory I've heard about the vaccine. I have an acquaitance who believes "the jab" turns people into nephilim.
Guy who believes in vaccine conspiracies but insists on vaccinating his kids so they can get sports scholarships
I had a guy in my welding class start to spew off a bunch of 5G bullshit right before the covid lockdowns started happening.
This renegade got fired by fucking Newsmax for lying about Covid. That is wild
Thank God, I didn't want to work hard or organize or anything.
If the FBI were hanging out at church I might become catholic again just to people watch. I wonder how the Feds would restructure choir
As we all know, big business CEOs and the FBI famously support communists and communism
Fascists think communism and global capitalism are the same thing. It's one of the defining features of the ideology and it would be funny if it didn't lead to mass death
Communism is when a government does a thing and global capitalism only exists because governments give corporations rights, therefore we've been communist the entire time
Communism is when capitalists try to increase shareholder profits by putting black people in advertisements and women in videogames.
