        That's how you can tell they didn't just caps-lock and go, they held down the shift key in sustained fury

          Or maybe they had caps-lock and were used to pressing shift when typing I. Both possibilities stem from terminally online rage

      In fact, they should all be killed, fuck waiting for a collective heart attack.

      They should all be killed, in fact, by us. We should do that.

      At what point have I crossed the line? I think I'm still ok because I'm still speaking in general terms.

      That said, one such nazi we should kill is [REDACTED]

          I think the first amendment stops at a specific call to action against a specific person or at a specific time or place. "John Doe should be torn apart by dogs" is fine but "Bring your dogs to John Does' house at 6pm to tear him apart" it crossing the line.

    It's a cool Thursday morning in the midwest USSA. I leave my apartment with my bike and pedal unhurriedly towards my job at the propaganda factory. I pass pedestrians and other cyclists, and light rail trams hum quietly in both directions just beyond the road. Shortly before 10, I arrive early at the office where the syndicate my friends and I formed a few months ago operates. I spend the first bit of my shift chatting with them while we plan our day. Eventually, I settle down to arrange new ways to send pigpoopballs to capitalists in the remaining oligarchies of the world. Each letter contains a return envelope, requesting a hog back. A small collection of dick pics, mostly flaccid, hangs on a cork board in a back room, trophies of successful operations.

    At noon we walk to the park together to eat the lunches we packed from home. We lay our picnic blanket on the grass, where we have a view of the graceful fountain that the architecture co-op recently installed. It's warm in the sun, and one of us dozes off. After a while, we gently wake them and stroll back to the office, smiling while we talk about our weekend plans. For the rest of the day I re-write a script that our bots are using on new social nets. Marx v2.0 has generated a significant amount of interest, and our data show that the population in Nova New Zealand may be at a revolutionary tipping point in part thanks to our efforts. We're intensely proud of our work.

    The sounds of my comrades closing up shop breaks my concentration - 2:30 snuck up on me. I gather my things and head out with them to the communal bike garage, where I had left mine unlocked. Some of us agree to meet at the community beer hall later that evening, while others bid us farewell until the start of the next work week on Tuesday. For the moment we split up, eager to see each other again soon.

    Amazed that "fairness" is the argument of choice against cancelling student debt. With that line of reasoning you can dismiss any progressive policy ever.

    After WW2 ended, some Jews spent many years successfully hunting down Nazis who escaped justice. Now if we had a communist revolution, im just saying, will people like Hillary or Trump or Bezos ever feel safe? Because there will be minecraft players who would like to play minecraft with them.

      I go back and forth on this. Personally I think revenge is low energy loser shit. Real Chads look to a glorious future unburdened by the filth and trauma of the old regime.

      But on the other hand it may be necessary to liquidate the old regime simply to prevent them from conspiring against the state or whatever we come up with. If Bezos is going to just sit in his apartment and not try to cause shit then fine, but if he starts talking to his buddies about doing coup shit he needs to go.

        They certainly don’t get to just sit around in their apartments. Reaction from the capitalist class is inevitable - rehabilitation through labour makes the most sense for the 1%ers, let them do some honest work for once. For members of the state apparatus, maybe something more is required..

        Edit: Agree on the revenge thing though, the goal should be emancipation, and to be clear eyed about what is necessary to achieve that reality. We should be wary of those who just want to kill a bunch of people

            Sure, but I'm going to advocate against the death penalty in literally all cases. I'm strong in my conviction that punishment and revenge based justice is always a bad road for a state to go down, and a strong believer in the inherent value of human life. Like I said in another post, I'm not going to like, betray the revolution if we start chopping off heads, but I am going to advocate against it continually.

          What, slaughtering the old regime or not giving a shit what happens to them after they've been expropriated?

          Yikes. This is the attitude that makes me uncomfortable around some fellow leftists. Like, I want a communist revolution, and I recognize that people are going to die in a communist revolution. But I don't thirst for violence, I recognize the pragmatic need for it. And I don't see the pragmatic need of killing people once the revolution is finished, unless they're doing shit to damage the revolution. There's no skin off my back if Hillary Clinton wants to live out the rest of her years comfortably. My strong conviction that everyone deserves basic human dignity is like, one of the main reasons I'm a leftist. I also have a strong conviction that vengeance/punishment-based justice is a bad road to travel. Particularly for a state, but I advise against it for an individual as well.

          Not having a thirst for violence isn't liberalism. That's just peak "everything I don't like is liberalism".

          I'm not going to like, betray the revolution if we start unnecessarily chopping off heads and shit, but I am going to advocate against it.

    Switched to residential plumbing from commercial and been in so many chud houses working with a chud coworker. The way these people talk about the "left" (They're actually talking about libs) you can see how scared they are. Wannabe troops who never enlisted but want a civil war, Karen's nimby, pigs who couldn't look me in the eye, rednecks. All these people are insane.

    Buy guns now.

    Comrades in Portland area are receiving explicit death threats/their names on a list of people the author wants to kill. This person is fucking unhinged.

    Also Chandler Pappas is a ticking time bomb. He’s armed, dangerous, and deranged. I’ve literally never seen him not armed.
