The surgeon is also petit-bourgeois. Class is determined not just by your relations to the means of production, but also by your role in the social organization of labor, and consequently, the dimensions of your share of social wealth and your mode of acquiring it.

Have you at all considered you are just no longer the target demographic?

this is the literal opposite of the hero’s journey but the hero’s journey is fascist now, it asks a kid to admit he isn’t good enough yet and then work to become someone who is, and a culture that considers every hierarchy as violence can’t let a child hear that. that’s why Disney sucks now and why kids are stunted beyond repair symptom of a rotten culture

@TCapoeti @JoyceCarolOates Did you ever turn in any corrupt cops? I have no sympathy until you guys police yourself. Or allow civillian oversight. Also when you get sued for murdering for sport it should come out of your pensions or wages not my taxes.
English
@JoyceCarolOates This explains a lot. Luckily in 31 years I never used my gun or put anyone in the hospital and I was still very active. I felt that my presence made people comfortable, and I didn’t hide to catch someone in the act.
Here’s an uncomfortable fact:
English
well, police officers are not supposed to step in front of moving vehicles to justify shooting into them. some states have specific laws against this. (though probably not Mississippi.)
what is sad is that citizens will sic police on one another knowing that the arrival of police can initiate violence & death. as it is, the woman was only "suspected" of stealing diapers which is hardly tantamount to armed robbery of a bank in which many thousands of dollars are stolen.
even in Mississippi, the theft of diapers is surely just a misdemeanor. hardly justifies drawn weapons.

@JoyceCarolOates Did they really need to even shoot? They didn’t have the right to execute the people in the car even if she had “tried” to run over a cop, as they claimed. Unless someone was directly in front of the car in immediate danger they shouldn’t have drawn their weapons.

@matthew_petti @deemashqi Propping up the world economy is not propping up the us.

I wonder what they promised China in exchange for a free hand in the Middle East.

US President Trump: "... I want to thank China, President Xi, he stayed neutral, totally neutral, and I appreciated it; and I want to thank Vladimir Putin, he was very neutral. They could have made it much more difficult for us..."

This is the most incorrect anybody has ever been about anything in human history. It’s world record wrongness.
Prism@fwprism
Asmongold gives his BASED opinion, says: "You're not being oppressed by the top 2% of society. You're being oppressed by the bottom 2% of society instead 👀 "People ain't gunna like this one: the bottom 2% of society have caused all of the manifest problems in your lives”

@plibt1 I've got a son flying back from HCMC. I'm still puking up cos I feel the same way. But tonight, I'm having my fake peace.

@redlantern650 Im still leaning towards fighting resumes after market close.

@plibt1 Closing rank with the Euro idiots in today's summit. Something to do with paying back the Russians for helping Iran. I'm going to read about the deal now, is it the offer to help Ukraine to get nuclear weapons?
English
@plibt1 I saw your reply to Mark Ames, I was listening to Radio War Nerd today, and I thought, yh, I would concur, then I realised we both follow each other but I haven't had any of your stuff in my tl. So a bit catching up. We're in June right? Any updating of thoughts?

@plibt1 Thought so, you look the type. Sorry it took so long to visit your account. Treasure trove!

@Tetradugenikid Elon just a character to fleece people to fund stuff the state/mic was gonna do anyway.

Tesla's valuation is based on monopolizing all fleet cars on earth with robotaxis.
spacex's valuation is based on fucking outer space data centers and martian colonization.

Guy who’s disappointed by the Iran peace deal because he was hoping for a U.S. unconditional surrender instead of a strategic surrender.
English
We have the text, the deal is absolutely terrible, there's no getting around it. The text gives Iranians huge, immediate financial benefits and protection for Hezbollah in exchange for opening the Strait - and nothing else.
President Trump should renege.
English
@MarkAmesExiled Or the deal isnt fake and they need to close ranks with the euros because they lost the me. I doubt we are there yet though.
English
If so, and that’s a big if, it’s payback for Russia helping Iran; Which was payback for Trump approving Ukraine deep strikes into Russia/ on Ru oil; which was payback for Putin not giving Trump his ceasefire, etc.
But Trump also vengeful at Europe for not helping his Iran war.
Alex Wickham@alexwickham
Trump’s shift back closer toward the European position on Ukraine looks to be confirmed in this G7 statement overnight - the US has signed up to language backing more military support for Ukraine and stronger sanctions on Russia - that’s a significant win for Starmer/Macron/Merz
English
@opinonhaver We have treated crime the same way through all of history. It obviously isnt the answer. I am not saying prisons are unnecessary, but they are trying to sweep the core problems under the rug. Law and order types are sheep with a vengeance fetish.
English
key to understanding a lot of people's beliefs is that they think "criminal" is a type of inherent identity, rather than a labelled applied to you as a result of your relationship with specific laws. things that impact "criminals" will never impact me, because I am not a criminal
Peter Wolf@peterawolf
I’ve encountered a chilling number of people in everyday life who sincerely believe that only the guilty get targeted by security forces, and therefore anyone targeted by security forces must be somehow guilty—cops, ICE, doesn’t matter: the Men in Uniform only do this to Bad Guys

@NotPotBol @acrid1949 Ehhhhh i think china had to do it. I dont know if they still have too, but it put them in a position to undercut western monopolies or co-op their new tech. I dont think it can really be replicated.
English
@acrid1949 I believe that they could achieve similar or greater results by doubling down on planned economies, especially in the modern technological era.
I believe the opening up to foreign capital, even if they retain control of it, has steered them too far from the socialist path to 1/
English
I mean the steps are pretty simple
1. Proletarian revolution
2. Actually build some basic functioning infrastructure and industry
3. Let the west give you infinite money in investment
4. Retain control over all the new stuff stuff being made with the investment.
PJ@PJ11819211
Everyone leftie econ guys are Chinamaxxing, but never giving instructions on poor countries can replicate China's success. Usually just vague gestures on cheap electrcity and EVs are going to be to the world, fair enough, but never concrete instructions on what to do.
English
@NotPotBol China is gonna make it alot easier by electrifying alot of the world in the next ten years
English
@ripplebrain This makes me adjust my opinion of the deal having a 0% chance of being real to a 5% , if they have truly given up the me it makes sense that they would need to close rabks with the euros
