I guess I’ll consume the state mandated amount of treats and feel bad about it in a manner I’m prescribed to feel guilty about. That’s makes me a morally good person. I consume the right amount which is too much but I flagellate myself which its okay.

      I still agree with what you said :I-was-saying:

      New accounts are fine (and necessary, ultimately :chomsky-yes-honey: ) as long as they aren't JAQing off with wrecker shit or clearly :brainworms: infested takes like "communism means everyone live in Borg cube" as seen in this thread. The real fucking Borg cube, with centralized "queens" paradoxically at the center of all the distorted and toxic collectivism, is capitalism. :capitalist-laugh:

        "communism is collectivism" takes are uniquely strange because they sound right on the surface, but are actually just complete projection in reality. Capitalism literally demands that human beings give up their individuality, goals, personal desires, hopes, dreams, and identity so they can survive.

          Capitalism even features the "Borg queen" as an intended feature: the only people consistently celebrated by the economic system and its enforcers for their individuality, goals, personal desires, hopes, dreams, and identity. :porky-happy:

              One of the most insidious tricks capitalism played was convincing people that GOMMUNISM VUVULZULA was the Borg. :picard:

            Capital itself is the true queen, but it will elevate a few effective subordinates for a time if it benefits 'the collective'.

              Capitalism itself is a Lovecraftian horror with priests that don't fully fathom it but continually placate it by feeding it. :sus-torment:

                We are the :LIB:. Lower your defenses and surrender. We will add your biological and technological surplus value to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

                  That's really how it works when something :us-foreign-policy: gets bleached and processed for :maybe-later-honey: :maybe-later-kiddo: use, such as chipotle.
