I would think Destiny's descent into frothing genocide denial is the ultimate affirmation of the "scratch a liberal" saying but I'm not sure he was ever scratched in the first place.

lmao this is the guy that they felt couldn't be allowed near the presidency at all costs. It's like the ultimate indictment of our diseased system that this absolute spineless wet noodle of a politician, who refuses to do more than meekly ask the machine to maybe be just a tiny bit less murderous and then backs down the instant he gets any push back, was who the ruling class considered so extreme and intolerable to their interests that they needed to pull out every stop to deny him power

No group of capitalists have ever fucked around when it comes to extracting maximum value, but real estate capital seems more rabid than most especially in recent times. I guess this is one continued symptom of the falling rate of profit on actual production and the corresponding rise of finance capital. Making and selling products and services to us that we can have full personal ownership of is simply no longer profitable enough; instead, absolutely everything must be financialized, rented and leased rather than owned outright, for the sake of drawing continuous profit. The obvious big initial target of this transformation is housing (as parasitic rent seeking has of course always been a core tenant of capitalist accumulation) but it's clearly expanding into other areas of life too. Oddly enough this can be thought of in a way as a process of "de-commodification" (in the sense that commodities can no longer be directly purchased, but must be acquired indirectly via various convoluted financial instruments) while also at the same time as expanded commodification (in that the process is seeking innovative ways to capitalize on and commidify our lives directly, to make human beings and their lives the product itself).

Strap in folks, the end of history is only going to get more wild from here on out. I believe a wise man once said "History 1 is dying and History 2 struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters"

LaRouche would drop the Luxemburgism (while still using her theories of crisis to the end) and focus on his pro-industrial corporatism, members of his organization becoming “patriots” instead of “comrades.”

Hm I feel like I've seen other "leftist" groups adopting this same label today to push a pro industrial capitalist line of thinking :thinking-about-it:

Oh no, baby don't cry 😢 come on, let's turn that frown ☹️ upside down 🙃

You know I'm used to seeing absolute galaxybrain pissbaby takes from libs on things like this but even for them this is a real headscratcher. I suppose there's really no level of mental gymnastics they are not capable of bending themselves to in order to rationalize a US capitalist dominated world order. If only we could harvest the energy from this red hot cognitive dissonance, climate change would be donezo.

we can't tell people to wear masks because it might scare them a little, it's safer to have everyone constantly spraying a mist of infected saliva in each other's faces

btw did you know nuclear war is actually quite survivable? here's why we should start a nuclear war with russia 🧵 [1/49]

wow!!

Them: Guys you're just not thinking about this right, capitalism drives innovation. Just look at stuff like machine learning - we can literally teach computers to solve problems too difficult for us! Just imagine all the things we can do with this to make the world a better place!

Also them: Listen so we need a guy to monitor the output of our ML algorithms to tell us if the peons are getting uppity so we can fire all of them

healthcare pls

when the deadly pandemic you ignored makes your slaves too sick to fight the endless fires exacerbated by the climate catastrophe you created

Recently I was talking to a buddy of mine about how shitty and inadequate the dems response to the whole USPS thing is and how everyone should be resisting encroaching fascism way harder and his response was basically "lol people voted for fascists what do you expect them to do ¯_(ツ)_/¯". Like real talk how the fuck do you combat brainworms like this? "Sorry sweaty we can't fight fascists unless we follow the rules"

He has good instincts any time I manage to frame something in a way that doesn't trigger the neoliberal narrative he's been fed his whole life, like when I laughed at people concern trolling over that wendys and he totally agreed it was shitty and dumb to be more concerned about that than the lives of people being murdered. But as soon as I try to expand that consciousness beyond generally dunking on wealthy elites and into a more broad and systemic understanding of how wealth and material interests contribute to all of this, especially if I ever criticize the dems and their place within it, he just shuts down and repeats muh electoralism shitlib talking points.
