    For all those wondering if this is an elaborate satire and we’re getting got right now, I have bad news. It’s on their Google maps page:

    At any rate yes that is their real address and reviews are enabled.

  • We just keep getting a constant stream of things, where if it were in a movie would be considered too over the top and hamfisted.

    “I know the entire point is that the society is totally overcome by fascism, commodification of women, and capitalist spectacle, but this is too far Mr. Verhoeven”

    The bourgeois clap-trap about the family and education, about the hallowed co-relation of parents and child, becomes all the more disgusting, the more, by the action of Modern Industry, all the family ties among the proletarians are torn asunder, and their children transformed into simple articles of commerce and instruments of labour.

    But you Communists would introduce community of women, screams the bourgeoisie in chorus.

    The bourgeois sees his wife as a mere instrument of production. He hears that the instruments of production are to be exploited in common, and, naturally, can come to no other conclusion than that the lot of being common to all will likewise fall to the women.

    He has not even a suspicion that the real point aimed at is to do away with the status of women as mere instruments of production.

    For the rest, nothing is more ridiculous than the virtuous indignation of our bourgeois at the community of women which, they pretend, is to be openly and officially established by the Communists. The Communists have no need to introduce community of women; it has existed almost from time immemorial.

    Our bourgeois, not content with having wives and daughters of their proletarians at their disposal, not to speak of common prostitutes, take the greatest pleasure in seducing each other’s wives.

      I mean this is literally the exact same thing that happened all over the Eastern Bloc right after the U.S.S.R. fell. Many, many women who had P.H.D.s working in government educational institutions were thrown into absolute poverty and were forced into prostitution. That is really the road map that the United States government wants to follow, to break down governments and enslave their populations around the world, so that the advertisement above is nothing more or less than “imperialism turned inward.”

    Can I ask, where you got this? I can’t find it on their site and tineye doesn’t return any results.

    Just saw the other day, how (mostly older) TikTokers are mocking and blaming SNAP recipients, their working class peers, for the predicament brought onto them. Absolutely disgusting. If this thing is true, I won’t say that I’m surprised, but man would this be even more disgusting.

    Wow. Blatant and Uncaring!

    Sure sure, I might lose SNAP and basic nutritional necessities! But hey, if I go on stage and be ogled at by (likely) men, I might get $500! (in Walmart Gift Cards…) or just get fuck all — great! I really needed a competition to see who deserves food and who deserves to starve.
