Yeah ok, sure, just slap tariffs on things and make people scared and poor enough to revert to monke. I'm sure you'll be able to go back to the days of company towns and the industrial revolution in 2025. lmao.

They really have no clue about the context in which they live in. It's 2025. You can't just go back to a time where climate change isn't fucking your shit with constant disasters. You haven't even put any planning in place to reindustrualise. What, you think you can make shit expensive and companies are just going to pay to build factories themselves? You think the economy is going to survive nobody having the money to buy your slop anymore? You think people are just going to work for free? In 2025? You think they ain't gonna start looking at the rest of the world and wondering why China is leagues ahead of them? You can't hide that shit with propaganda forever. Your people are already burnt out and sick of this shit, they have been for years.

It's wild. They really think they can just ride out the coming storm by going back to victorian cruelty. Hilarious.

They are also defunding the propaganda in an attempt to pinch every penny, which ironically is going to weaken the cultural hegemony that keeps people subservient under capitalism. The ones in charge really don't understand how their own system of exploitation works. he-laughed

They believe the agitation comes from outside the system. Which is very funny.

Mr Krabs was not a caricature. The bourgeoisie are literally like cartoon characters.

Elon Musk the type of guy to have his pupils turn into dollar signs.

It wouldn't be too off brand for him to go AWOOGA while making a young woman feel extremely uncomfortable

It’s so funny how clueless the ruling class really is when it comes to their own system, what do you think is going to happen when you try to play hardball with the countries that produce your treats and the materials that are used in the treats?

I think Trump really does believe in this whole reindustrialization thing, it’s been his brainworm for decades.

I think Trump believes buying at the dip is easier when you control the dip

Grown so stupid and decrepit that they lack even basic self preservation. Honestly begging to have their asses handed to them, but nobody around here has what it takes.

We are ruled by a coterie of Lucille Bluthes

It's enough to make me wish we weren't apex predators so there was at least a chance the especially clueless and careless among the bourgeoisie might get snatched up in the talons of some enormous condor or something. Would be pretty nice. Waiting for them to fall off their yachts is boring and doesn't happen often enough.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Bah, we're omnivores, we don't even have to be predators. That's the stupid part of it.

Apex stupid more like it.

Predators are usually pretty shit at thriving in the long term. The same people who missread what survival of the fittest means are usually the same people who don't realise that the first thing to die in an ecosystem is usually the "apex predators".

Scrambling to the top of a pyramid of interdependence and then acting like we won some kind of game and no longer have to care about the base of the structure.

Where have I seen this behavior before?

call me a opportunist cannibal the way i'm about to have dinner

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When I said eat the rich, I meant actual cannibalism.

what no materialist theory does to a mf :lenin-sure:

Thank you for this, Dirt. I need more radical optimism, and this is what is actually happening, they're going to lose.

Fellas, I am not gonna lie, I doubt bourgeoisie had any say in this action

[–] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You talking about the bourgeoisie members currently staff the white house or the ones who helped fiance the campaign?

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 5 points 1 week ago

You make a lot of good points.
