@CoachJeff_ @Howlingmutant0 @KensingtonRoyal your people were still selling slaves during that time, what's your point?
English

@Slatzism @ChadTC420 @HumanInstrament Your definition of capitalism is also more akin to corporatism, whereas a “capitalism defender” is using it in place of free markets.
English

@ChadTC420 @HumanInstrament @anyswingingdick I don’t care how you “code” a useful term. You guys will defend the systems that got you into this position in the first place with your lives. Offended on behalf of capitalism. Cattle. Slaves.

Because they are good slaves, you are not.
I hate essay-posting but allow me a rare indulgence:
To understand what is happening now, you need understand that this isn’t the first time it’s happened.
Why are there Indians in Kenya? Suriname? Fiji? Burma?
Because Indians have always been the preferred servile class of elites. The evidence for this goes back hundreds of years.
I’ve spoken about British colonial Burma before, and it is a great example of what this looks like.
Even after extensive efforts to bring them to heel, the majority of the Burmese ethnic groups were far too resistant to submit to the British empire to be reliable labor. They refused to abandon their culture and ways of life to be slave drones for British pocketbooks. So the Brits started importing Indians to be their colonial administrators, preferring them as labor because they were easier to control and satisfy.
By the 1940s, Indians made up almost 20% of the population of the entire country.
Another great historical example of this is Suriname - a small country in South America that had been under Dutch colonial rule for 300 years.
The Dutch abolished slavery in 1863, forcing colonial plantation owners to have to hire labor to do the work they had previously been using slaves for. But… they didn’t want to pay former slaves or Indigenous locals a living wage for the work.
So what did the Dutch elites do instead? Import Indians.
Today, Indians still make up 27% of the population. 27%. Of a tiny, obscure South American country.
We could basically go through the list of every country with a non-negligible Indian population and the theme would be consistent: They were brought there by elites who needed a submissive, easily exploitable labor pool when local labor asked for better living conditions or wages.
Why? Because Indians never did. They are a population that seems fully content with subjugation (even Marx noticed this).
So it’s easy to see why they were such an ideal population for the intensive global expansion era of colonial empires. And it’s even easier to see why they are perfect subjects for late capitalism now.
They are the culturally, psychologically, and physically ideal organism for the dominant system.
There’s 1.4 billion of them. They are deeply socially stratified and so expect and even enjoy inequality. Their cuisine is cheap, meat-free slop. They live amongst trash and filth with no qualms. They don’t care about the environment. Their reaction to death and abuse is blank-eyed indifference. They are physically and spiritually malleable. They not only adopt and internalize the demands of the dominant system as personal ambition, they believe this servitude makes them better than everyone else who hasn’t.
Absolutely IDEAL subjects.
You, on the other hand, are not the ideal subject.
You want to live in a high-trust society. You would shed tears if someone tried to cut down the apple tree you climbed as a child to build a data center. You want to see and experience beauty. You want your own space. You have an expectation that your living conditions will improve over time. You would not be content to live in a room with 10 other people, work 16 hours per day for pennies, and eat cheap slop.
You are a liability. Just like the Burmese and Surinamese slaves were.
And as we continue to crawl deeper into this late capitalist hellscape, you and your silly little needs will come into increasing conflict with those of the system.
Thus, you WILL be replaced by people far easier to control and far less concerned about their own welfare or the welfare of everyone and everything around them.
… Unless you do something about it. But the system has already locked-in that you won’t, and that you’ll just sort of fade into nothingness, distracted by meaningless comforts and terrified of the uncertainty of change.
So “why are Indians in [wherever]?”
Because you are about to not be.

@Slatzism @ChadTC420 @HumanInstrament It’s only useful in being an in group signal term. It just means people making money in ways that you don’t approve of, which I’m sure we have a lot of common ground on.
“Cattle. Slaves” Please, you’re better than Reddit.
English

I don’t really like either framing.
Lucky? This is nonsensical, only you could have been born in your time and place.
Extension of a lineage that builds greatness? Yes. But deserving? I don’t think so. IMO you have a responsibility to prove that you are worthy of that inheritance.
A republic, if you can keep it.

this is an argument i will never get. "it's deserved" i didn't do shit to get born here. it's not deserved. it's luck. and most people are unlucky as hell

@anyswingingdick @Slatzism Spoken like true low human capital.
English

@HumanInstrament @Slatzism I’m not a corporation and I don’t use that term, you middle school faggot.
English

@anyswingingdick @Slatzism Nigga is a full blown retard.
Every single corporation uses the terminology, "human capital".
Unless you live somewhere that doesn't you are "we".
English

@HumanInstrament @Slatzism There is no “we” here, but thank you for the gobbledygook.
English

@anyswingingdick @Slatzism Late capitalism is when EVERY thing dwindles down to purely "capital"
We are at the late stage because human life and experience is negated as a value of the human but rather the "Capital" that life is potentially worth.
I.e. "human capital"
You're welcome.

@anyswingingdick Frederic Jameson died *two* years ago.
English

@Slatzism It was coined a hundred years ago. It describes nothing of today’s markets or economies. It’s just a gobbledygook term people use to describe things in the world they don’t like, and not that you’re wrong to not like them.
It is a thought provoking post though
“Lmao”
English

@anyswingingdick that’s not an opinion. that’s the commonly accepted definition of the modern stage of capitalist markets lmao

@anyswingingdick the exact conditions we exist within right now. hyperconsumerism, globalism, trends towards precarious employment, total commodification of everything.

@anyswingingdick @Angry_Staffer @LessTaxMoreCoal @OfAthenry Do you need someone to read it to you, too?

@anyswingingdick @LessTaxMoreCoal @OfAthenry Sure, here’s Florida: DeSantis is arguing that sure, the map is unconstitutional, but so is Florida’s ban on partisan gerrymandering, so the “Fair Districts Provision” doesn’t apply to him. floridaphoenix.com/2026/05/06/des…

@Angry_Staffer @LessTaxMoreCoal @OfAthenry So what if they repealed the law? Welcome to the democracy that we all know and love.

@anyswingingdick @LessTaxMoreCoal @OfAthenry And here’s Tennessee repealing a decades-old law

@Angry_Staffer @LessTaxMoreCoal @OfAthenry How about you cite them for us?
This is where you tell me do my own research even though the burden of proof is on you.

@LessTaxMoreCoal @OfAthenry You should try actually reading these state laws before commenting. It would be less embarrassing for you.

64-year-old Beverly Sasberry is facing 11 felony charges after she intentionally ran over baby ducklings with her vehicle.
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, a couple watched as a red Honda Accord purposely drive over a group of baby ducklings on Tempest Street on the Westside, turning her vehicle around multiple times to hit them. The couple confronted the woman a few days later, and she told them she intentionally killed the ducks because she was upset they made a mess in her yard.
The couple reported the incident to our District 4 Patrol officers, sharing surveillance video of the woman driving over the ducklings. The officers identified Sasberry as the owner of the red car. On Thursday, April 30, the officers pulled Sasberry over. After interviewing her, they arrested her for 11 counts of Cruelty to Animals, a felony.
We do not take animal cruelty cases lightly. If you see someone committing a crime against an animal, please give us a call (904.630.0500).
