Yes, 100 percent agree. Dems are useless. They could have really made a good showing when Trump started to do the fascist shit. But they decided to roll over and be smug about it.
What do you think you are accomplishing by being such an insufferable ass?
Did you forget you were calling me progenocide a couple replies ago? I’m sorry I was just following the vibe. I guess you can dish it but you can’t take it.
This is allowed.
Assuming what is in heart incorrectly doesn’t counter my facts.
I didn’t vote for the Dems because of loan forgiveness, I voted for them because they were the least fascist option.
It’s ok though, I understand you are struggling with how your vote supported rapidity brining fascists to power. The large amount of death caused by the loss of USAID. Sending of innocent people to El Salvador concentration camp. Autistic people being marked as non-human. And look at that, it isn’t even half way though the first year of this term.
Literally, your only hope right now for a good outcome is if soo many people die that we 180 out of this with a revolution that somehow doesn’t result in another authoritarian being in charge soon. Seriously, shit is soo fucked right now, I have become an accelerationist.
We all did, we all voted for it. We didn’t all vote for fascism though. That was a you thing probably.
No matter what action you took in this last election. You were voting for genocide.
So accusing anyone of voting for genocide is kind of silly because everyone did. No one really had a choice.
They also don’t pay the clerks enough to give a shit.
I don’t disagree with that. Why leave that to the market which doesn’t optimize for anything other than more money and whos actions are opaque? Happy, healthy, and productive societies cost money, money that can be spent elsewhere. Slavery is efficient and profitable.
If some organization is going to have the power to make or break me, I want them to be transparent and democratic. Not a rich person who has never worked in their life trying to make more money using whatever means they can get away with.
What? Yes, the environment can tell because there would be less pollution. The motivations are different. Do you think worker controlled industries would use the same tactics to over produce and polute the areas the workers live in? No one would benefit from that.
I’m not saying we would reach zero pollution but there would be a lot less pollution.
I have no problem with running water and electricity, most reasonable socialist would agree.
American healthcare is capitalist. It’s insurance companies and for profit hospitals. That’s why it’s bad. Healthcare is an inelastic demand.
China isn’t a Democratic State. I’m not arguing that just having one guy handling all the economic planning is a good idea.
There’s a difference between industrialization for people and trade versus industrialization for money and power. One helps everyone, The other only helps capitalists.
I wouldn’t necessarily look at China and USSR and say they are a good alternative. I prefer a more democratic socialism. My problem with capitalism is specifically the lack of choice of the people. We spend 8 out of 12 hours on average working for a company that we don’t get a vote in.
Yeah, so we take AI out of companies who only want to make money even if it hurts people and give it to a democratic elected government which will use it to help people or they will be voted out
We can choose a less shitty power structure if we want.
So we can have solar and nuclear oligarchs instead of oil oligarchs. Yeah, that would be slightly better
How old are you? Did you go through COVID? Capitalism doesn’t do disasters well at all. Every cost is minimized. So emergency supplies go unmaintained. If it doesn’t help the stock price annually it doesn’t get done.
Industrialization to make money is encouraged by capitalism. Why do you think big oil was lying about global warming? It’s not a few bad apples it is a systemic drive to make more money even if it hurts people or the planet.
Oh, we can use it. We can use it to replace your job and make our boss more money. We just think that is bad.
Yes, but AI porn, which is really bad, is actually a small problem compared to the other uses of AI under capitalism.
Have you had sex with Zeus? How do you know what does or doesn’t happen after that?
Yes. I wonder what the outcomes of centering the soldiers gult is?
Do we want the solution to be that soldiers have to consider every order given within the historical context of the time to decide the morally correct actions and do them even if it means court martial or death?
Don’t get me wrong. I’m okay for soldiers to do this in extreme examples. But I don’t think this should be the norm.
I think we should shift the focus to the leaders instead of the soldiers. They are better positioned to make these decisions and have the time to do so.
And it’s their job.
Wait, is Bernie Sanders running for president?
I don’t understand why this is so hard for you to understand. There were only two options in the last election. Yeah, the Dems were shit, but they were way less fascist.
If you didn’t vote for the Democrats you were voting for fascism. You enabled the fascist party of the United States of America to take charge. You helped fascists take charge of the most powerful country in the world.
As I’ve stated before, there was no vote that you could make that wasn’t going to result in genocide. This whole no voting /voting for a third party thing is just a virtue signal. It’s to make you feel good and that’s it.
What really makes me sick is it seems like you have no remorse. We didn’t know how bad Trump would be. But now that we do know you don’t seem to care.
At least I feel bad about the dead Palestinians. You seem to have no remorse whatsoever over the harm and death that will be caused by the people that you have helped put into power.
I hope you realize it eventually and learn from it.
