I think there will be a lot of openings for Revolutionaries. Whether you are a planner, cook, maintenance, driver, prefer to educate or provide healthcare, or if you fancy yourself a fighter, I’m sure there is a role for you!

It’d be a shame if that shipment never made it…

Speed running empire collapse.

I’m honestly surprised that non-western states haven’t pulled away sooner. But now that the paper tiger is showing its pathetic pedo claws, every one knows it is a farce.

While I don’t expect the west to actually pull away any time soon, believing in its own propaganda too fiercely, cracks like that shown by Spain give me hope.

Lol. Human nature.

If you mean “here take this money and give us your country or we will kill you” then yeah.

But I suspect you actually are referring to some weird “humans are greedy! Look! Billionaires!” While ignoring how often we freely help and associate with other humans. For example: on this website.

Yeah I tend to boycott genocide, racism, slavery, regime change, that sort of thing. So you might consider me some kind of anti-US .

VOOOOOOTTTEEEE HARDER! I’m sure at some point it will change. Its not like having all the power sitting in the hands of the few will stop you from making positive changes right? Just keep playing their game … I’m sure it will work this time…

I love that you have a list of references! But of course they are all ignored because engaging with them might change someone’s beliefs and, no disrespect intended, changing a deeply held belief is difficult, scary, and can lead to a sort of cascade of changes as ones world view crumbles. Which in and of itself can feel devastating.

How quickly are we talking? Then we can talk about concrete answers, and strategies to make it work for you specifically. And whats the goal? Temporary (like for a day or 2) or more permanent?

You could start invading their privacy if convincing them with words doesn’t work.

Why bother shutting the bathroom door? You’re not doing anything wrong.

Post family drama on Facebook, whats the problem with that? Everyone has drama?

Really there is a deeper conversation about power and manipulation through marketing/propaganda. But thats an ever harder topic.

You are very close. Government owned does mean its owned by the people who control the government. 100%. But who controls the government? In the west, government is largely controlled by the wealthy (industry lobbying is an easy example). So then how do we have a government that is controlled by the masses?

This is where the type of government called a socialist government comes in. Communism, on the other hand, is some distant future where humanity no longer has to worry about scarcity, and all ideas of money and state are gone.

So a communist party is named thusly to say “we wish to work towards that goal, but recognize that there are steps required to get there”. For example: increasing the democratic control of a country, both politically and economically, while decreasing the influence of capitalists, whose interests are in contradiction to the interests of those who work for a living (or need to sell their labour to make a living, since labour is the only commodity most of us control).

Definitely ask your advisor, but also, depending on your school, those credits may count towards your degree but cannot be used as a pre-requisite for another course.

Its true. But there was this brief, beautiful moment, during the early internet, where you could get good recommendations from YouTube…

So Stalin helped kill a buttload of Nazis which is nice.

And saying “under Chinese rule” is a weird way to state it. I mean, of course the Chinese people should rule themselves. Unless you’re butt hurt about China resisting the western colonial powers and murdering a bunch of capitalists.

Given the bad faith of your comment, I feel no need to elaborate, clarify, or provide nuance.

Bruh

I started reading and was like “okay, sure buddy” then I remembered I have developed a lot of the same skills, including tracking wildlife.

And then I remembered the time I learned to identify clay deposits and to separate out the clay so I could build stuff with it.

So I thought: “wth, this is so weird! Ohh, they have ADHD too… That explains a lot”.

I wasn’t diagnosed at the time, when I was learning to find clay, but that should have been a sign lol

How, in your opinion, is China behaving as a bully?

Basically what you said: those with the means get a fire sale during market crashes. So even if it isn’t the intention of the policies (unlikely) its still what will happen. And the rest of us (super majority) are worse off, more desperate, and will probably work for less pay.

So your solution is to sow more division by believing people who vote Republican are stupid? The same people who believe you are stupid for voting Democrat (or anyone else)? Interesting…

Maybe target the real problem: the system and the people who uphold it. Otherwise you are just a pawn of the wealthy.

Sarcasm, right?

Because tbh, most of the world would like to see the us empire destroyed.

Probably by creating a private company called “xovernance x” that just goes in and directly coups people.
