he just has a confused ideology
There's is an entire ideology for techbros that exists as an outgrowth of Deluze/Guattari, Lyotard and Mark Fisher which often mixes with the Kazinsky/Linkola/Hardin set at the "green" edges. It's modern advocates are the Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land, and Hoppe. They literally name their magazines shit like Thermidor Magazine, their ideological views are based on similar history that Marxism is. In fact many of them have read Marx and agree with various observations historical, ideological, and sociological, but not the prescriptions.
It's not "confused", it simply has the following premises:
- History does not trend toward progress
- People are not are equal
- The over class (often based on some kind of "philosopher king" or "titan of industry" vague qualification, but at their most honest are often explicitly racist) deserve the "fire of Prometheus" (technology, capital, power) because only they can wield it responsibly.
- The under class do not deserve the "fire of Prometheus" because they cannot form a stable society (insert more racism/bullshit here)
- By accelerating the contradictions they see in society, they can force a cataclysm that consolidates and binds the underclass and reinvigorates the over class.
It's a messianic reskinning of capitalist boom and bust cycles. They aren't confused. They know what they're saying. They simply cannot close their eyes to the types of observations that they've heard from leftists that resonate with them, they simply decide on different causes and different rectifications.
You're not gonna fight this on "leftist" ground simply because some of them also hate healthcare. They'll agree with your arguments on healthcare and ignore you for the rest.
It seems like you’re advocating for a sort of “live and let live” approach to organizing, which I understand when it’s about MLs tolerating anarchists and vice versa. But willfully ignoring fascist tendencies, well, ends up with fascists on your side. Which is just as toxic as the things you’re worried about.
Yeah except I'm not. If I was to fully describe the irony that is happening here it is this: "Hexbear culture is now seemingly tolerating if not out and out celebrating a fascist for something he's done, but will not tolerate a fascist in order to get them to do something they would find worthy of celebration."
For a culture that says "there can be no compromise with fascists", they have certainly found one, and they refuse to not only admit it, but they will continue to refuse the idea whose logical ends they are effectively cheering on.
Likewise the online inter ML/anarchist hatred is mostly based on aesthetics and vibes. That makes the issue of online ML/anarchist collaboration effectively the same problem as MLs cheering on a fascist for doing something they like, while pretending that they'll be able to hang every fascist in the US all 320M of them.
The issue is it's a one time expense vs recurring expense.
Sofas for your moron employees goes on capex table, dry cleaning is opex and investors want opex as low as possible to extract money.
It's the reason Google used the pandemic to stop offering services to employees. Austerity has hit those offices 4 times over now.
Capex sofas are the consolation prize.
Depends on caliber and propellant. The most quiet gun is a .22 slide lock with a silencer and subsonic ammo. Sounds almost like like a hammer punching through drywall.
I'm a tankie but for President Yoon's 2024 declaration of martial law in South Korea, not the invasion of Czechoslovakia.
19% approval rating
Listen he captured the support of the difficult 20%, the easy 80% is going to be easy right? Pareto Principle of Martial Law.
Because libs don't know geography and are high on copium. Every time you see "Kursk" they mean "Sudzha" a town of ~6000 including the neighboring villages.
Kursk was always a Western Propaganda play to keep Ukraine in the headlines so that Western support doesn't fall off a cliff. If there's one thing Zelenskyy knows is that Americans don't like a loser. That's why they don't publish the actual statistics of the war.
The pretense that the Hunter pardon is the first time that Joe Biden has acted unethically is rich given he's instrumental in a current genocide that he's lied repeatedly about.
Also you know his entire history from being anti-bussing and eulogizing Strom Thurmond then turning around an telling people they aren't black if they don't vote for him.
He's the best at being part of a big mess, saying that everyone was doing it, then pretending to be the solution, wiping his hands clean and not even rectifying half the damage he's personally caused.
Just look at his involvement with finance, war on drugs, Iraq, etc.
He's a good retail politician which is why he's a classic beneficiary of "we didn't know any better when we were doing this horrible thing but we were the good guys" type shit that Americans love to do.
If you lined up all the crack heads in America and ranked them “has it the most rough” to “least rough”, I would challenge you to find 1% who have it better than Hunter.
Exactly. What crackhead is getting off on a gun possession? That's a slam dunk for a DA to put numbers on the board.
Libs just have their heads up their asses. Legalities around guns + drugs have been the corner stone of state suppression for decades. Libs love screaming about freeing their favorite rapper or how Regan is a hypocrite that passed gun control in CA, but suddenly pretend it's not typical when their guy's son catches a case.
