>1st world socialists use the same hysterical talking points as other 1st world fascist failchildren
imagine being such a soulless waste of humanity that the only value you see in one of gods creations (literally the biggest group of animals on earth) is if they "taste good". Makes me think of what Nietscheze said:
The last man is the archetypal passive nihilist. He is tired of life, takes no risks, and seeks only comfort and security. Therefore, The Last Man is unable to build and act upon a self-actualized ethos.
:Peter-Coffin:
the petit bourgeois socialist is a domesticated creature that lacks the human potential of controlling its environment. These worthless failchildren will never be able to conceive of the idea of "its better to feed our chickens bugs than soy". I bet these woke petit Karens who make condescending tweets with communism rhetoric have never visited a farm in their life.
They're just complacent losers who think they're virtuous and strong for soyfacing about "Fully Automated Luxury Space Communism". The opposite is true, Walmart socialism is the ideology for weak people who fear hard work and getting sun tanned like their apartheid child slaves

ealmart absolutely is a temple to opulence. it's an endless stream of cheap goods, you can get anything you need there
also where you get poverty wages and strikebroken
i get where its coming from but the 'benefit' aint really there for most people
Yeah but those workers can afford used xbox 360s so they’re basically bourgeois.
the first world labour aristocracy has a huge access to things that is just not a thing elsewhere. when I was making less than minimum wage, I could still afford video games and shit
I mean yeah, but also if you get appendicitis and go to the wrong hospital you’ll be in debt for the rest of your life
that doesn't mean it's not a huge privilege to have
It is. It’s also a trade off.
Look access to cheap consumer goods is definitely one thing helping keep the first world workers pacified, but I don’t think that alone is enough to rob them of class consciousness.
Also let’s consider that globalization and increasing industrialization of the global south means that even workers in the 3 world have better access to consumer goods. I’ve seen picks of kids in favelas with PS2s, the number of actual peasants in the world is shrinking.
PS2s are probably the most popular console in history in Brazil. there's still a decent market for pirated PS2 games and there are developers who keep updating the old PES and FIFA PS2 games with newer players. 7th and 8th generation consoles didn't catch on quite as much and 9th gen is insanely expensive.
smartphones are also very common place across the country.
I mean it is, it's a material abuncance of cheap goods. that is something that most of the world does not have. it's not a universal good, but it is one of the big things of the imperial core that makes it the core
