You’ve made a potential error in underestimating just how horrible some peoples’ lives are and how filled with hatred they are over that fact.

What fact? People’s lives are horrible BECAUSE of ICE. They’re so horrible that I considered that nobody would be “on the fence” because either you drank the Fear-Of-Crime Kool-Aid or you are horrified at what ICE agents are doing to children and poor people. The entire reason there are people who don’t think ICE needs to be abolished right now is because Fox News and other right-wing grifters have pumped out propaganda making it look like there is a “crime wave” like it’s the Reagan Era, and people living in the Suburbs not knowing what the outside world is like. Not only do they choose to portray a crime wave, they have to do it, because otherwise people would see their president as the power-hungry maniac he is rather than a savior of order. No riot is actually making people miserable, only the police-reported, sensationalist coverage of protests.

This is really what drives so much of politics in the world–disgruntled people with no future who choose to hate others who have nothing to do with it.

That’s just the American Suburbs. I hope American states can secede to change this. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, there is a high-speed rail being built. This is not driven by disgruntled people, people with no future, or people who choose not to hate others who have nothing to do with it. Neither is Iran defending itself from an imperialist regime, nor Australia having their left-wing Labour party completely outdo the right-wing Liberal party. America is the villain here.

All of a sudden, so many things are “not protected speech”. I find it tempting to be as ignorant as a Republican, but I’d certainly be caught off guard in that case.

PR for who? Who is on the fence about ICE?

And share them with your friends. Learn from Lenin, learn from the Vietnamese, learn from Alpaca farms.

You jest, but even though I hate a lot about the Trump regime, I’m glad that it is eating out its own military capacity like this. It’s like when you’re incredibly sick in bed, and then it gets a little better for a while.

I mean, Lemmy itself was created by Communists if I’m correct

That sounds like something Heinlein would write during his earlier days. I completely agree with both the argument and reasoning, even tho he turned anti-Communist and insane before he wrote that.

I was always scared of becoming homeless when I was a kid. It motivates people to work hard: the beatings will continue until morale improves.

There’s no logical objection for it, but it goes against the interests of landlords, real estate managers, and other people who see housing as a financial investment rather than a human right. If we want to give people homes to live in that they will not be deprived of, we first have to bring out the guillotine.

Yeah, I fucked up a bit. I didn’t know what this was talking about. I thought it was about defending Raymond’s right to free speech. In actuality, it’s about looking at someone on a far more surface level.

The worst kind of person isn’t someone who will defend free speech, it’s someone who does so at first, and then stops defending it when they’re in power.

I think hate speech should have repercussions, but there are lots of thoughts that are hard to explain. A big problem is the upsurge in these types of comics. I think they are not only unhelpful, but detrimental to the cause at hand when pro-Palestine protesters are being labeled “Nazis” and then detained. The problem right now clearly is the state, not the people living under the state, and someone saying a few offensive things, while evil, isn’t as bad as the government being turned into a police state before our eyes, who will gladly shut us up for protesting against them. Stop worrying about the Nazis in universities and start worrying about Nazis about to run the U.S. military.

I haven’t found a Raymond in Cascadia

It was word salad a bit, but I was concerned about people either wanting to die or trying to make clever quips about it.

The term Capitalist Realism I took from Mark Fisher’s book, Capitalist Realism, in which he describes people believing (at the time the book was written) that Capitalism is “human nature”, applies to everything, and that all attempts to the contrary are fruitless. And when someone is buried in debt, and believes in Capitalist Realism, they’d probably commit suicide out of hopelessness. This is why it’s so important to understand how socialism works, and work for its establishment.

TL;DR I understand that the problems are caused by Capitalism. They are fixable, there is still hope, and I worry about so many people considering and glorifying suicide.

This isn’t a place to make clever quips. This is a person being pushed to suicide.

We should make dying in battle a good thing again. The wrong kind of peace is a blight upon society.

I’m very worried about everyone here. Really, I know that there is a way out that isn’t suicide–it’s revolution–but it seems like you’ve all submitted to Capitalist Realism. I’ve thought about risking my life in an attempt to overthrow the state, but unlike you all, I am legitimately afraid of losing my life. It’d be such a sad note to end my life on. I wouldn’t be there to see any surprising good things happen. I wouldn’t get to see a socialist system established before me, and I wouldn’t be able to do anything to help anyone. How come you all feel fine about death? There’s nothing afterwards. There were the Viet Cong who couldn’t live to see their country establish socialism, there were the Leninists who died fighting the Tsar who couldn’t see the Soviet Union come to be, there were the slaves who died in Southern plantations who couldn’t see Juneteenth. If you were really willing to die, you’d die in battle.

Here’s my complaint about a machine producing it:

• Water Cost 1
• Water Cost 2, it has a nice Frutiger Aero image
• Water Cost 3
• Water Cost 4
• Systemic Risk to the Tech Industry
• Bad Business

I’ll show you true human nature.

The problem still remains that these were not the people with social capital. Those who shifted society towards the right didn’t go on 4chan and start raids. They funded outlets like the Daily Wire and Prager University. Even the most loving gay couple, or harmless transgender woman goes up against “normalcy”, i.e. the hegemonic culture that people consider normal. Thus, such a culture will find ways to demonize said gay couple, or trans woman, thru any means possible. If 4chan didn’t exist, they’d find another way.
