Responded to his shitty Biden Crackpipe meme with the :citations-needed: episode criticizing the Biden response to this absolute shitshow of racist misinformation. His initial response was “I don’t know what reality is anymore”. When I suggested it’s clearly not listening to :live-tucker-reaction: shit. He is like “but my property rights”.

      1984 is now a more apt description of capitalism than it ever was of communism. Everything Orwell was writing about in his fever dream of painting the soviets as big bad scaries he was describing late stage neoliberal capitalism in 2022.

        Mobs of people wanting to rewrite history to favor their preferred racist ideology. Capitalist surveillance in every goddamn device. The big bad police state disappearing and torturing people (like they did in Chicago, warehousing victims) and the federal govt. doing the same. Rats and snitches infiltrating resistance groups, or being led astray by :fedposting:, and the continued feeding of the war machine to avoid people basic decency.

        :1984:

        When I was a kid I think I was the only one of my peers who read 1984 and attributed it to the system I lived under and not communism. As a result oddly enough it was the initial step of radicalising me lul.

        When I read animal farm in school my initial interpretation was also attributing it to capitalism.

          fuck man, just take the engagement-maximizing algorithms on social media, amplifying negative emotions because they drive engagement the most.
