Political posts on shitposts? Who’s got the corn?🌽

We have all always had the choice to make politics something that the people do, and not something that is done to us.

But someone making money off of me without my consent is literally slavery. No one is saying that this form of slavery is equivalent to chattel slavery, so I don’t understand how this minimizes that? Do you also think that wage slavery or forced prison labor are not slavery?

Property records won’t tell companies how many people are living at a unit, who they are, how they use the space, when they use the space, how they arrange the furniture, etc., and they don’t provide live data streams from your house.

Why use AI at all? The environmental costs alone should be a dealbreaker.

It’s ok to laugh at satire of racists 👍

64 per cent of Russians say life was better in the Soviet Union than now

Data is better than anecdotes.

If you say something is bad, you must have some frame of reference to know how bad it is. So if you say communism is bad, we will want to know, “relative to what?” And since capitalism and western hegemony are the dominant systems, naturally they will draw comparisons. And those comparisons will be unfavorable since capitalism is clearly broken and incentivizes great evil.

So OK, we’re still not really discussing the merits and flaws of communism as they stand on their own, but most of you aren’t ready to accept that almost everything you have learned about communism is a lie and you definitely aren’t ready to engage with the actual historical record.

So instead, the arguments revolve around what-aboutisms. Because most of you deny the evidence of your eyes and just listen to daddy. Long before we can delve into how the soviets actually existed in the world, you have dismissed us as “tankies” and stuck your fingers in your ears.

I think it says more about how Lemmings and other westerners understand authoritarianism. Because capitalist countries are way more authoritarian than any communist country has ever been. Y’all have just been fed lie after lie until you start repeating them yourselves.

You’re hopped up on that US propaganda, bud. The USSR was democratic from the ground up. Working people’s voices had more power there than almost anywhere else at any other point in history.

The USSR never intentionally starved its citizens as the US is doing right now.

Downvote if you believe CIA/fascist propaganda.

Right off the face of the planet and into the sun.

Seriously. Can we please launch Peter Thiel into the sun?

The silencing of r/hailcorporate was the first nail in reddit’s coffin and it was lauded by most of the userbase.

The economy of the entire globe is designed to siphon money into the West. Third world nations largely aren’t responsible for the failures of their economies, it’s mostly because the West is doing imperialism.

Capitalism is not reformable because it fundamentally relies on ever increasing rates of profit and exploitation. The first is impossible in a finite world, and the second is untenable to anyone who believes in justice.

How tf does this dumb shit get 15 upvotes?

Because of our wasteful and growth-oriented way of life capitalism.

FTFY.

If you’re only ever getting a few items I can see how self-checkout is faster, but for full grocery trips cashiers are undeniably way faster, primarily because I can bag while the clerk scans.

Capitalists should not be allowed to own media. Or really have any say whatsoever over how society functions. Why would any society allow someone whose sole interest is themselves to have power over anyone else?

It’s wild how almost every bad thing in China is worse in the US now.
