under capitalism academic credentials get tied to class interests, so it literally pays to be deeply incurious about the world beyond one's niche expertise. all your energy gets dedicated to navigating the byzantine patronage structures that distribute funding so there's nothing left for organizing and worker solidarity.

James 5:1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.
contrapositives can sneak up on you like that
biden/harris and the democrats are in power right now. if they actually cared about this they could start taking measures to prevent this, and they will never do so. if they actually believed any of their perfidious campaign rhetoric, they wouldn't be peacefully handing over the reins of power to this person. the democratic leadership wants the same thing as he does, they just want to raise money from their pantomime opposition.
hey i spilled coffee on my chilaquiles divorciados one time and it wasn't half bad
well i think that's a wrap, harris' campaign deflated like a whoopie cushion, and the so-called "most important election of our lifetimes" didn't even break the top 10 highest comment count smdh.
might be a good addition to the agitprop election response thread:

yeah anyone following the news heads and their analysis over at the hexbear news and bulletins forum -- which the cpc in beijing certainly does -- isn't surprised by this outcome.
we all appreciate beat's and tc69's efforts in getting this site up and running
i have won the election!
you sure did! oh shucks, good game! it was just a campaign! i don't actually mind at all that you're turbo hitler!
she'll be delivering remarks at 4 pm eastern time, so about 50 minutes from now
Harris congratulates Trump, discusses peaceful transfer of power
bwaaaaaaaaaaaahaaahahahahahahahahaha holy shit she's congratulating the fascist existential threat to democracy for a good game and will peacefully hand over the keys to the white house she doesn't believe a single thing in this entire universe absolutely nothing!
clearly the civil, respectable, mature response to a fascist winning an election and becoming an existential threat to all that is good in the world is to drop charges
it'll be interesting to see how the next decade develops. i predict an increasing rift between the political class and basic awareness of reality as they rely ever more heavily on metrics that demonstrate concretely how good the economy is under their own management, not even realizing that their own thumbs are on the scales. woe unto us all when some company starts offering to use "ai" to fill in sparse econometrics.
it's the attention to little details like this that separate the artist from the mere crafter
there's the den https://hexbear.net/c/den that was intended to be a comfy hangout space
