The ecosystem is pretty sweet now

Even if AI was not hot garbage the other [insert number] % of the time, would that equate to better material outcomes for actual humans? Not under capitalism, that’s for sure.

PS, seems like Western “independent” advocacy groups has little more than zero effect on you. No one is immune. Thinking so is childish. Goodbye.

oh no, not lennybird’s respect :((( please, repost everywhere.

and since when is criticizing the states of China or Russia, eastern propaganda?

I’m arguing for the least worst? I’m sorry, who said that they would “would rather live here than fucking Iran, North Korea, China, or Russia”? When did I say that one is a “better” place to live? I am not interested in such shallow analysis. No one “chooses” to live in either USA or Iran. Hypothetically choosing between imperialist blocs does not help anyone but the ruling class. It is always in my, and the working class’s imo, to oppose especially your own nation’s class oppressor first and foremost. And as the hegemonic state, the US is quite the oppressor to much of the world. This ofc does not excuse other imperialist actions by other states, but am merely stating where my own practical responsibility lies. You seem to think being critical of the US, to the appropriate degree, the highest degree, is somehow an allowance for other states to commit crimes. The question is immaterial; rights under US capital are contingent and conditional, just as they are under Chinese state-capitalism. Domestic minority rights that we do have are structurally dependent on the exploitation of global south. How can we enjoy a “safe” liberal democracy at home while our tax dollars bomb hospitals, subvert elections, install dictators? You do know how Iran got to become the theocracy it is today, right?

You must analyze materially, not morally. Why is the US defending Ukraine? To “defend democracy”? No, to weaken a rival imperial power and secure energy corridors. Why is China trading with Iran? To secure oil for Chinese industry. The conflicts on the global stage run on capitalist, inter-imperialist incentives. Ranking genocides to show how the US is actually not that much worse, is immaterial.

The “genocides” you list, while I will not deny outright and are certainly concerning, have many red flags and leave questions unanswered, mainly due to how vague and biased much of the research is (Adrian Zenz is quite the character). But whether US interests are exaggerating these reports or not, there is plenty to criticize China for, using a state-capitalist structure to suppress labor and rely on growth and extraction, as well as their expansionist, bourgeois nationalism in Taiwan. Same goes for every capitalist state, like Russia and the incentives of their oligarchic class to defend against NATO encirclement and secure Black Sea trade routes. But these critiques are independent from US propaganda, and does not make Russian invasion or Chinese oppression more commendable. And again, much of these criticisms of other states can be similarly made right back at the US, and arguably amplified, given the global scale of US military and financial hegemony.

Your immediate whataboutism pivot to other “genocides” makes me wonder, how recent did you acknowledge the Palestinian genocide?

Out of curiosity, what’s ur take on the US and Israel? Is the US funding and aiding a genocide?

Sure, if the USA as the global terrorizer police and hegemon wasn’t a giant elephant in the room. That is the point u are choosing to ignore.

Symfonium really is so good, solved a bunch of headaches I was having

Oh my bad, swag!! I’m diving head first now, and have been reading a bit about BSD? I’ve heard cool things but also some… weird(?) things too, do u know anything about that?

Make the plunge my friend, u could dual lot TWO Linuxi instead ;)

Privacy isn’t keeping everything about your life secret from everybody. Its about having control over who in your life gets to know what. Its the pretext for honest communication. Extreme surveillance will lead to people self-censoring themselves to please the fascist state.

Competition?? Under capitalism?? Disgusting!!!

Idk, while yes trump is delusional, I can think of a lot more unfit politicians for high office than fit ones.

Haha, I mean, I’m not really disagreeing with your sentiment that the US has caused unprecedented suffering, domestically and abroad. Duh. But the math isn’t mathing; democracy is clearly eroding in the US. We don’t have proportional representation, corporations fight policies at the fuckin municipal level, power is just not actually in the hands of the people. It only looks like the citizens voted for this if one thinks the people have at least as much power as capital. Trump is not popular, yet he is in power. I see Trump as a natural continuation of what happens over time when capital crushes unions, guts social services, replaces anything and everything possible with a for-profit option. Not natural as in good, but can we really be surprised? It woulda been more surprising if Harris had won, imo, and it’s not like we woulda stopped funding the Palestinian genocide, or “securing” the southern border.

It sounds more like you are the one who is butthurt and content on pointing fingers in a direction that isn’t at the top. I’d bet my left nut that Canadian capital isn’t complaining about the dominance of capital in general. Idk if I’d put Canada on that much a higher pedestal.

I’m not saying “don’t be mad at the US” or anything like that. But you opened with charged language of “fuck 'em all” and whatnot. I get that the actions of Trump has been negatively affecting Canada and the rest of the world, as the US is the global hegemon and the world runs on the US dollar. I’m saying THAT is the problem. While we struggle within the US against this, it makes it actively harder to resist when the rest of the world accepts the “protection” of US empire.

So… No? But yes to genocide of the people in the US? Still confused as to why you’re so angry towards the struggling, deliberately misguided and exploited working class people instead of the capitalist elite.

Do you think all Germans should’ve been genocided because of the Nazi’s actions?

Pour one out for international solidarity ig

Under global capitalism, ofc there’s gonna be a brutal top dawg, that’s the name of the game, and yes, American capital has been unimagineably violent. But not without an inner circle that gets a dash of the spoils, too. That’s what that other guy was saying. Nations that have good trade deals with the US, simply materially benefit from the exploitation of the global south.

We’re on a knife edge, of capital being threatened with a crisis it doesn’t really know how to get itself out of. Not without violence and repression, at least. These moments are also windows of opportunity, when capital shows its face, as a genocidal engine. Don’t do their work for them, sheesh.

I think I’m thinking of the same thing, and it turns out the “aliens” that the WH was referring to were the “illegal immigrants” taking all the jobs or whatever tf. Disgusting behavior. On the official WH site!!

I stg I thought I was going nuts, seems lots of ppl were desparate for anyone that has a crumb of charisma and reformist positions to the point of glossing over those tattoos and his private merc past. No one was arguing really for his arrest or anything, just whether THIS was the best we could do. And now this… I just am not surprised.

Here I thought not SAing was easy. Huh?
