The first one sometimes has a physical paywall, though.

Back in my day…

A nation that enslaves another forges its own chains.

The reason why Americans don’t do anything. The United States is the modern English empire.

Bruh, it’s never the scabs who are the real problem.

The constant is imperialism and class. We have technically been without both for most of the time modern homo sapiens have been around.

Yes, and Mom & Pop are also exploiting their own children for unpaid child labor.

This is the logic of fascism. It happened in colonialist empires everywhere.

There are examples in the US, South Africa, and Rhodesia where white workers unions organized to prevent black slave labor from taking their jobs.

This is also where a lot of the anti-Chinese racism came from because Chinese immigrants were replacing higher paying white rail-worker jobs. It was a point of conflict between the American white working class and the American bourgeoisie who would rather employ Chinese worker they could pay inhumanely low wages to (although the reason why they were so exploitable was because of racism).

It’s revisionist to say that this was entirely imposed upon workers from above. White workers were given the easier choice to improve conditions somewhat for themselves without risking much by punching down on colonized workers. In every scenario where this has happened in history, the majority of the racially privileged working class have always sided with colonialism against the colonized working class (it is a statistical law) because it was the safest and easiest way to guarantee some economic security.

True!

Yes, but the examples in recent history are often instigated. Like salafists wouldn’t have anywhere near the same influence without Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia basically wouldn’t exist without US support.

The Shi’a Sunni sectarianism was helped (at least in Syria) by the US government.

well, damn, at least my hypothetical stocks in Nvidia will provide a return! /j

They’ve exported unimaginable horror and trauma and then blame the people lashing out against it for being not morally pure.

This system that consumes billions like a biblical winepress for turning labor into capital needs to be stopped. It’s gonna kill us all. I’m on the side of anyone against it.

People who own capital on an international scale vs. People who own a small amount vs. People who own none.

What if the windows are just a part of what makes the car go. I’ve seen houses without windows, but a car without windows is inconceivable.

What’s happening in Cuba is tragic.

Actually, I would put money in, because there’s big profits to be had once the bakery customers develop a psychological dependence on Willy. I’d be a little nervous about buying now, because they seem to be lying a lot about Willy, but maybe they’ve just gotta do that to get people in the mindset of using Willy, like maybe it makes more sense if they aren’t fooling investors but fooling customers or just generating attention.

Also, people are getting radicalized against us, especially lonely people, so it’d be quite beneficial if we route them into having friendships with Willy to make them forget about how terrible their lives are, make them become totally unwilling to form real relationships with people, and too mentally ill to actually learn stuff about the world.

Willy is a lot easier to control then a social media environment too, but Willy would also be incredibly good at getting into those and pretending to be real people once Willy gets good enough.

Willy is also really good at showing people ads by recommending them certain products, apps, or places to go, without them realizing they’re seeing an ad, because it feels conversational, like a friend recommending something.

(this is a thought experiment, idk what’s going on in their heads)

I can actually imagine it.

An agent breaks into the US government and exposes “sensitive information” then they live-stream the execution where they let it talk with the executioner for a while, and they yell at it that it committed “high treason against the United States of America!” and then they pull the plug.

Conservatives also usually are conservatives because they get some sort of treats from the system. They’re white or a man who’s not gay or GNC. The benefit from economic oppression hitting women and minorities harder than their privileged group and that allows them to have power over people beneath them.
