What makes western hegemony, lead by profit motives of wall street military and prison industry profiteers any better than the brand of imperialism offered by modern russia? Both are guilty of war crimes and murder civilians. What does the neo liberal koolaid passing as modern leftism taste like?

So you’re saying the west hasn’t turned Ukraine into a proxy state controlled by the same wall street military industry profiteers that “spread democracy” through iraq and the middle east? You just blindly trust what billionaires tell you through their owned propaganda outlets? Did you fly a ukraine flag up next to your biden and harris flags supporting fascist imperialism for profit? Whatever floats your boat. Ukraine was in a better spot before the fall of the USSR. Arguing otherwise shows you have no concept of reality

More tools. A knock off power probe, a set of wrenches, mid length metric sockets and a few more pairs of pliers from amazon.

The reality that Ukraine is occupied by the west and thats what this war is being fought over

If you think you’re on the left and supporting more American funded and orchestrated militaristic war profiteering them newsflash, you are not on the left, youre a neo liberal. The very people benefiting from and perpetrating Ukraine’s “defense” are the same people you would be fighting against in a class war. Ukraine is defending western capitalist interests, the civilians dying aren’t dying for democracy they are dying for the same fascist capitalist hegemony that now controls the political landscape in America and all the main stream legacy media outlets

ACAB. All those people saying “one bad apple does not spoil the whole bunch” would feel Differently if someone made them an apple pie and one or two of the apples used were either completely rotten and moldy or one had been contaminated with industrial or radioactive waste or poisoned. Knowing that the majority of the apples were good apples and the existence of one or two bad apples mixed in shouldn’t ruin the pie itself im pretty certain those arguing this aphorism would refuse to eat a poisoned or tainted pie despite trying to force the rest of society to bend the knee to the rotting pie of modern policing

If the universal law became such that those being systematically exploited and ultimately sickened and or killed by systemic injustice could target those benefiting from the injustice then those incentivizing and committing the act of social murder would be incentivized to rethink their approach to profiting off the death and suffering of poor and marginalized people.

We seem to overlook that FDR’s new deal and the Fair Labor Standards act of 1938 was enacted as a compromise to prevent more violent rioting by the frustrated and exploited laborers during the gilded age. It was either the robber barons acquiesced to what was good for those doing the work giving them a fairer deal or those they were exploiting ruthlessly would have dragged them out into the streets and beaten them senseless or worse in front of their wives and children.

I dont think pro Ukraine is the right stance considering Ukraine is just a western proxy state that is looting the land and the labor of its citizens for the benefit of western hegemonic imperialism. Yeah yeah putin is not great either but Ukraine used to be a paragon of education and technological industrial power. Their gdp has severely declined since the fall of the Berlin wall and the USSR the USA and all the other western powers involved in the 5 and 14 eyes surveillance sharing programs are not the good guys. What we did to Iraq was not a good thing and although we didn’t destroy the Ukraine before establishing a proxy puppet regime as happened in Iraq we definitely looted their natural resources and have used Ukraine’s locale to our benefit by manipulating trade route politics and policies in the last 35 years.

Not only is it that murder is ok for everyone at a certain point but its that we are conditioned to praise retributive violence and killing so long as the ones being beaten maimed and or killed are marginalized people whom the ultra wealthy see as sub human and their casualty benefit their end goals. Like all the non violent labor and civil rights protestors who have ended up bludgeoned by batons and less than lethal munitions, or targeted by extra judicial unconstitutional surveillance and suppression tactics such as yale used against pro Palestinian demonstrators over the last year. There are too many examples of this double standard to go over without writing a book as thick as the king james Bible.

Imagine all your shits becoming the grout that holds this stone toilet together after a decade of dumps.

Sanders supporters literally sued the DNC and the case was dismissed by DNC legal counsel arguing they were under no obligation to enact the will of the people and had every right to make backroom Deals in dark rooms filled with cigar smoke and rich old men. We are living in fascism right now. Both parties are owned by the same wall street military and prison industry profiteers who also control all the main stream legacy media outlets. The idea that our democratic system still functions is foolishly naive

1990 kid here, im so old i died yesterday

The principle being complete subservience to a group of wall street military and prison industry profiteers who have used their wealth to hijack our social institutions, our representatives and transformed the vast majority of news media in our country into propaganda dissemination outlets While also enforcing a system that legislates and bureaucratically incentivizes the deaths of poor and working class people including American citizens for profit while denying the reality that this is called social murder and is murder none the less. A principle completely lacking in principle. Id love to know what you consider to be moral with principles such as those.

I pretty much see any person claiming to be nakamoto wether the claim is legitimate or not to be treated exactly as they are treating this guy. Governments In collusion with the military and prison industry profiteers who control all the major financial institutions want to do whatever they want with BTC’s blockchain technology and arent about to let any pesky copyright claims become a hindrance regardless of the validity or lack thereof.

Yeah they are probably lying. They can not know with 100% certainty that these giant asian hornets have all been eradicated in the us. They couldn’t get rid of something as benign as the spotted lantern fly or the marmorated stink bug but sure lets believe they got rid of a hornet as big as a humming bird that has facial recognition capabilities and can unalive people with a swarm no larger than 50 to 100 of the fuckers

LMAO. Its sad that this is so funny because its true.

There is no law mandating that charities have to give any specific amount of the money they collect which is why many charitable organizations can get away with siphoning as much as they they can to executive pay and administrative costs 5-15% may be a lowballed generalization there are likely some people in these roles who do better. Red cross claims 90% goes to the cause but thats highly unusual. There are 42 different charitable non profits in the us where their ceo alone is paid over $1,000,000. The ceo of the sloane kettering cancer research center, Selwyn Vickers earns an annual compensation of just over $5.7 million. Now thats not much for a charity that takes in 7.3 billion but i would be surprised if more than 1.5 billion of that actually went to cancer research My favorite argument against charity is by Slavoj Ziezek in “first as tragedy then as farce” who argues that charity demoralizes and degrades it is immoral to use private property to alleviate the issues caused and exacerbated by private property society instead needs to be reorganized so that poverty is impossible.

Here is some good reading on how the system of charitable non profit organizations is abused bh the wealthy to further enrich themselves

Even though…… I…… Know……

I used to have a 2 year old account with a bunch if meaningless karma on reddit but those basrards IP banned me 6 months ago for a comment that said international law states indigenous populations have a right to defend themselves from occupation by any means.

I might be wrong, but my gut tells me something smells fishy and only one of these documents sounds like it was written by an ivy league cum laude graduate. ill admit I put too much stock into irrelevant factors. However my gut is still pulling me towards believing this other manifesto seems more believable.

And its not that i don’t think Klippenstien is a good reporter or that he’s not trustworthy. Its that i think cops and the reporters working for legacy media are both extremely untrustworthy. I guess only time will tell and if I’m wrong ill eat my words.

If mom and pop employ predatory practices and pay and treat their workers like disposable cattle so they can leverage their wealth against working class people and live to a higher standard on passive income then they are no better than the walton family or the payseurs or the trumps thiels and musks of the world. Each according to their means is how we should live and thats not what we have today we have exploitation under the guise of fair practice so that a small group of 800 americans can each hold at least one thousand 22.5 pound stacks of hundred dollar bills while they guy at the top has wealth equaling 486,000 22.5 pound stacks of $100 bills. Youre basically saying they earned that fairly. Nobody needs more than $20,000,000 to live a good life. Any more than that is just greed. Where do tou draw the line? Should people be allowed to ruthlessly exploit others so they can hoard more than they could ever spend in a hundred lifetimes? Who’s side are you on? Definitely not your own.

Everyone of us watches heist movies and i guarantee a majority of us don’t root for the police, we root for the ones sticking it to the banks. So I’m rather certain my sentiment is the popular one. But go ahead and keep on doing what you’re you’re doing. You may not be licking them but you are surely kissing those boots
