  • How can we ever get to the point of eating the rich if we can’t even block traffic without turning people away from the cause? The former is far more disruptive than the latter.

    Mass protests in other countries have shut entire cities down. That’s what it takes. If your sentiment is the popular one (and it appears to be), then Americans will never get to a place of actual resistance. I guess people just aren’t mad enough yet.


  • By what metric is capitalism the “least worst” system? Most of the people who defend capitalism have to sell their labor and own zero capital. The result is a two-tiered system where the obscenely wealthy exist right next to a vast majority who don’t have enough savings to survive a minor emergency. This is the situation in rich countries. The ongoing exploitation throughout so-called “third-world” capitalist countries also speaks against capitalism.

    Moreover, if socialism is such a bad system, why did America fight tooth and nail to stop it? Diplomatic isolation, trade embargos, propaganda, political assassinations. It is because socialism actually threatens the profits of the wealthy. The west can’t exploit the land, labor, and resources of nations that place the workers in charge of their own workplaces. Maybe if the most powerful country in the history of the world wasn’t working against it the system could prove its worth.






  • Funny how after all the blatant corruption this is the issue that splits the MAGA cult. I guess Trump really isn’t untouchable. Maybe the Biden administration should have pushed to release the Epstein files before the election. Maybe they thought that would read as too politically motivated?








  • Exactly. Democrats had the presidency and a majority in Congress. Everyone talking about Republicans (rightfully so) while ignore Democrats doing the same fucking thing is why leftists hate liberals. They all go to the same island: metaphorically and, in this case, literally.

    Everyone talks about MAGA being sheep while they themselves never criticize the dominant narrative of their echo chamber.






  • Find remote work. Even better if freelance. Save up money for travel expenses and emergencies. Travel the world while sending in your work digitally. If you’re an American citizen, you’ll still have to pay taxes even though you’re not living in the states (“land of the free” btw).

    If you’re asking what type of work you should do, it depends on your skills and interests. Computer programming, graphic design, technical writing, etc. If you’re not already established in a lucrative area that supports remote work then you have some years of work before you can make the move. Plan accordingly in the meantime.
