Money is a fake concept anyway. NEVER pay fare. NEVER buy your food. Always steal. It is the right way, the right thing to do, and will steer our communities to communism which is the only system which has ever worked. Except for the psychotic despots. But that’s different.
man if you want to be sarcastic about communism you have to at least understand what communism is.
also need to learn about the concept of state capitalism
We do not think there was a struggle between capitalism and com- munism across the twentieth century. For us, communism never ended in that century because it never arose there. Our conclusion is built on the fact that communism – if understood as a distinct, non-capitalist class structure – was neither a significant, nor a sustained part of the history of any of the nations conventionally labeled communist. Using the USSR and the PRC as exemplars, we argue first in this chapter, and then in a subsequent chapter, that those nations actually displayed cap- italist and feudal, not communist, class structures.
We do not doubt the sincere Marxist consciousness and anti- capitalist commitment of the revolutionaries who inaugurated the USSR and the PRC. However, notwithstanding their battles to estab- lish and defend socialism and to move toward communism, they could not and did not install communist class structures as the prevailing social organization of production in either country. Instead, they estab- lished particular state forms of capitalism (USSR and PRC) and state forms of feudalism (PRC) as means to improve their nations’ economic and military strength and their citizens’ standards of living.
Thus, by the second half of the twentieth century, the dominant conflicts occurred among (1) mostly private capitalisms (the US, Western Europe, Japan, etc.), (2) a state capitalism in the USSR and Eastern Europe, and (3) first a state feudalism and then a state capitalism in the PRC
It is quite literally risking your life in order to establish and secure resource chains for the western oligarch class, for the privilege of going to school to be one of the oligarch’s slightly higher paid underclass.
Despite all the cringe posters, there is no honor to be had in the modern military of the last 50 years. Like so much else, our military works in service to the interests of our owner class through our captured and well-bribed government. They’ve destabilized entire governments solely to improve commerce with the capitalist regime that replaces the last one.
One thing I am certain of, Constitutionality be damned, if the American citizenry ever does wise up and rise up against our owners, our military will be turned on us and kill as many citizens of this “society” as it takes to protect our beloved economy. 99% of soldiers will follow their paychecks and the promised safety of their families on secure bases and pull the trigger on us, too.
That’s what happens when you let the growth/metastasis of your economy take precident over the good of your society aka its citizens as we did so very long ago. An economy is meant to be a lowly tool to better distribute goods and services for the benefit of the society it serves, just fyi.
Your comment doesn’t even make sense in the context of what OP wrote. They didn’t talk about their personal experience at all really. It was more a universal take about awakening to the role of the military in the modern age. I guess, unfortunately for humanity, you are the perfect candidate to wear a uniform.
I mean, you implied your experience being a part of an organisation that literally kills people for money and destroys whole civilisations wasn’t a negative one. I feel like you don’t see how hostile you actually are just by existing in that state. My words are nothing in comparison.
Economic collapse after the reserve currency is switched away from the dollar through dedollarisation is likely to happen first. Won’t be able to dodge the next financial crisis by printing infinite money.
I would join the space force if there were cool stuff like starships and space Marines. But we aren’t there yet so we can’t do cool stuff like fighting alien bugs and doing our part.
Damn you stuck with it during it’s trash years, too?
It wasn’t even acceptable until pretty recently, and it’s still missing a lot of QoL features that make me keep Vivaldi around (except on my Linux machines, those just run Fox cause Vivaldi isn’t available.)
Personally, I stopped using Firefox when mobile became my main computing device. When I had shitty phones and mobile browsers were newer, Chrome was much more stable for me than FF. I should try to break the habit and go back to FF now that they are both structurally sound, but by now I have years of stuff saved to and remembered by Chrome. It would be a hassle to switch, and somewhat more control of a portion of my data isn’t worth the trouble to me. I’m still gonna use Instagram for professional networking and personal posting, so I’m gonna be in packaged data anyway.
Even better idea. Wait until about 6pm, open maybe 7 beers and drink them over a four hour time frame. At 10pm, start mixing some cocktails (you can do this beforehand and just store them in the fridge), make sure you have plenty, as over the next 2 hours, you’ll need them.
Finally, at 12am, get yourself a nice spirit you enjoy, so maybe a good whisky, a good tequila, a good rum. Anything you like, and start mixing, 50ml alcohol, to about 250ml mixer is what I personally enjoy.
Once you hit 12, just get your things done. Whether it’s moving data over. Or just anything that needs to be done. Unless it involves leaving your house. As that may get messy.
This is what I always do when I know I need to get something done. And it hasn’t let me down yet.
I perpetually want to document and keep things but learning that browsing history, tabs, bookmarks, and cookies are disposable trash that I know I truly don’t give a fuck about was enlightening. A clean slate is actually great!
Man, what you said is so true. A few years ago, when I switched from Chrome to Brave (I now use Firefox), one of my worries was losing all the “important” stuff I had saved over the years. As you said, those things weren’t important at all, I don’t even remember what they were.
For those of you who are like that: change now, you won’t regret it and if you really need to save something, just copy/paste those links into a word or any other program.
I have a vendetta against Chromium because of Valve having to cease support for older OSes. They did that because of Chromium being built into the Steam client.
Firefox 115 is the last version to support Windows 7, so Valve using Gecko instead of Blink wouldn’t have made a difference here. Maybe it’s time to move on from a 14 year old operating system on the internet with known zero-day exploits that aren’t going to get patched.
There’s a much better version of this joke, to which I believe was the original, with the DiCaprrio meme from Django where he’s far away and hears the first line
