@LuolamiesV2 And how do you explain the fact that more and more people have been becoming semiliterate during the past few decades?
Many “winners of capitalism” seem to be struggling with constructing basic sentences.

@Satanic_Cabal The point was that capitalism is fair. You are not forced to buy products you don't like. Incase of workers their product is their labour. Nobody has to buy your labour. They should want to buy it. Your product needs to be good in this system. If it isn't then sucks to suck.
English
@LuolamiesV2 And don’t get me started with education and healthcare. Other expenses that are also becoming increasingly bloated.
Don’t bother selling me the idea of capitalist fairness where where a simple degree puts you into years of debt and a medical emergency sets you back a few years.
English
@LuolamiesV2 Further still, your claim of “your product needs to be good in this system” is an outright lie.
Across many industries has the product declined into cheap garbage or has been pure slop from the start, all in the name for more cost cutting and maximizing profit.
English
@LuolamiesV2 Regarding the “product being good”, the quality ceiling is low.
Very few jobs require an advanced skill set. Showing up and going through training is good enough.
And a lot of employers seemingly prefer migrants who barely speak the language and are just desperate for money.
English
@LuolamiesV2 And it’s amusing that I’m being lectured by a Finnish person, a Finnish conservative mind you, about it sucking to suck.
You guys are still reeling over the USSR invading you, despite you over performing.
English
@LuolamiesV2 Sucks to suck you say? The people who consistently rise to the top are not brilliant mathematicians, physicists, or artists—the people society bothers to remember after the era is long gone.
The “winners” of your system are not the best humanity has to offer.
English
@LuolamiesV2 And the point I’m making is that I don’t care. I have my own metrics of success, I think humanity has far greater potential than the social dynamics capitalism presents, and this obsession with selling a product is pure idiocy.
English
@LuolamiesV2 @lycheepill Woe is you.
Slavers post-confederacy also had grievances about no longer having free labor and the hardships that were a consequence from that.
Bloated real estate is a civilizational rot. All it does is gatekeep a fundamental need and give people easy money.
English
@Satanic_Cabal @lycheepill Those are not issues were I live. Actually the worst part about the city I live is actually that housing priced have stagnated. "Decommodifying" housing would directly hurt my own economic situation and my family's so fuck that.

@coconut_jpgg @sibaburck I don’t understand how you think knowing sociology implies you must agree with some cultural practice, even if it exists in virtually all cultures at this time.
English
@sibaburck That's amazing, so you should be perfectly capable of comprehending that it is not contradictory for someone to say "dogs are food" after someone else claims they aren't
English
I have a degree in sociology lol

@sibaburck Radvegans take a sociology class challenge

Hasan Piker meets Jodie Evans in Cuba.
Evans is married to Neville Roy Singham, $785M tech fortune converted into America's largest CCP-linked protest infrastructure.
Singham funds The People's Forum ($20M+), Code Pink ($1.4M annually), PSL, and BreakThrough News from his Shanghai office inside a Chinese propaganda firm.
You're watching recruitment into a documented foreign influence network.
Stu Smith@thestustustudio
Hasan Piker has landed in Cuba and, naturally, one of the first people he runs into is Jodie Evans — Neville Roy Singham’s wife, Code Pink co-founder, and People’s Forum board member.

@Vusako So what? There is a difference between the ideology and its implementation by someone last century.
English
@GWAMtweets Do you think he’s saying absolutely no progressive and leftist Cubans exist in Miami or that the prevailing mode of thinking among Miami Cubans is gross and reactionary? (Which is true, Miami-Dade voted decisively for Trump).
English
As someone who knows (liberal and progressive) Cubans who escaped, this shit makes my blood boil.
The U.S.’s sanctions must end. But what right does Hasan have to pass judgments on an entire ethnicity TO WHICH HE DOESN’T BELONG?
Why do y’all let him say this shit?
bloom 𖧧@bloomjpg
Hasan says Cubans in Miami vs Cuba are “complete opposites” after experiencing it firsthand "All the good Cubans stayed here and the crazy ones flew up there [Miami].. It's just such a strange cognitive dissonance to experience in real time"
English
@mtmalinen They’re not feeling anything either. They’ve been conditioned to be numb and undiscerning.
Having a will and caring about things is like a muscle. If all you care about treats and comfort more sophisticated motivations will atrophy.
English
It is a bloody charade played to the unthinking ("feeling") global populace.
Russians With Attitude@RWApodcast
Today, LNG tanker Yakov Gakkel arrived in France carrying Russian gas to supply the "unfriendly" country through their energy crisis under long-term contracts that Russia still honors. Yesterday, France seized the tanker Deyna in the Mediterranean, coming from Murmansk, on “ghost fleet” charges — the third tanker they’ve taken. On March 10, Bryansk was hit with UK/French Storm Shadow missiles. Eight civilians were killed, 36 injured. Russia provides energy to France, which produces and supplies weapons to Ukraine, generating billions for Moscow to keep fighting. A grotesque world we live in.

@AdrianP_doc You’re not going to like the answer to the question on which ideology is best equipped to dismantle right wing thought and their institutions.
English
There is a cabal of right wing lunatics who suck russian cock and want to destroy the world.
We cannot hope to live in a better world till we defeat these bastards

Three weeks ahead of the Hungarian elections, the president of the United States is now recording messages of support for the pro-Russian Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orbán, the man who has managed to turn Hungary into the EU’s most corrupt and second poorest country.

@HabeasPorpoise @bitchuneedsoap Stay mad and keep coping. Nothing in the US constitution prohibits a citizen from being a communist.

@bitchuneedsoap Aiding a communist government during an embargo, grounds for revocation of citizenship.

@Jennife30745301 @DEERJU2024 I agree. The CCP Chinese apparently know that it’s bad to slurp on diarrhea, meanwhile almost everyone else can’t be pried from the toilet bowl.

@MK_Foxbat “Former allies”. That’s cute. She thinks nobody in America before Trump saw Europe as vassals, and that it’s just Trump doing so now.
English
People on this app are convinced that the Soviets and Nazi Germany were allies, but Poland, China, and other countries weren't
Meanwhile, they're convinced Ukraine and the US are allies.
Amy Siskind 🏳️🌈@Amy_Siskind
Trump has now lifted sanctions on: * Russia * Iran * Belarus Three of the most villainous autocracies. But we hate all our former allies 🤷🏻♀️

@LuolamiesV2 @lycheepill Honestly, even if capitalism is completely untouched, stomping out the political will of those aiming to maximize personal profits and push reactionary politics will be a massive improvement. They are the main problem with capitalism, not capitalism within itself.
English
@Satanic_Cabal @lycheepill No other system in the entire world has created better living conditions for literally everyone. Sure improvement is possible but I don't see any viable alternative to the capitalist model.
English
@LuolamiesV2 That’s not wrong but it’s irrelevant. Being more marketable doesn’t change the fact that profit remains surplus labor.
Moving up the latter is nice, but that doesn’t mean you still aren’t at a disadvantage.
English
@Satanic_Cabal No? Nobody has to accept their own situation. You are allowed to improve yourself and become more valuable. Nobody is stopping you from demanding better compensation for your labour. The issue is that people might not pay if you're not worth it.
