Fuck man. That stupid fucking frazzledrip adrenochrome bullshit from years ago on pol is now actually gonna be grifted onto the actual political mainstream. I’m gonna see signs with “LOOK UP FRAZZLEDRIP” on billboards now or trucks.

Fucks sake.

Nothing like a armchair dweller telling us to act like “real revolutionaries” when all they can do is puke out voting websites and tell us to consume like a chaplain of genocide.

“Just get a loan (with credit), apply for federal programs that will deny you (with credit), get a cheap mortgage (with credit and bum-fuck nowhere+4 hour commute)”

“What, you don’t like that? Stop using credit-cards, commie.”

Or…organize and consolidate power amongst the people around you.

A good chunk of us participate in autonomy; growing our own food, going vegan, not participating in blatant consumerism and monopolized economy. There’s also quite a few posts that have been…removed… for talking about “revolutionary actions”. You can think about it for maybe two seconds if you pull those brain-cells together why that might be. HMMMMMMM.

But yeah, thought-terminating cliché is the typical response of your kind when confronted with actual agitative ideals. It results in a sort of cognitive dissonance you have where that in order to be a revolutionary you gotta go full Uncle Ted or you’re just a illegitimate who doesn’t VOOOOOOTE for your bullshit genocidaires.

No thanks. I prefer organizing and agitating for direct change. When enough people do that; they can start doing things by force, however that may look. We are not here to “participate” in electoral politics, nor are we interested in “lessons” in how to succeed in the system.

Your ignorance of the average American’s financial system is astounding. Millions live paycheck to paycheck. Even asking 1% of your paycheck can be the difference between actual meals and a pack of ramen. Additional part-time jobs are on the rise in guise of “Rising employment!”. The system that you’re giving us advice on how to “succeed” is completely built upon foundations of violence, exploitation and destruction of the human spirit, ecology/nature and civilization itself to which it spreads it’s cancerous doctrine by bloodied marching boot to nations that don’t heel towards the private interests of America.

Lower interest rates don’t fix rental feudalism nor the ability for one to buy 20+ homes and influence local housing markets. Nor does it fix efforts by real-estate development to push lower-income people out and gentrify their neighorhoods. A ROTH IRA, 401k doesn’t pay my fucking 2,000 dollar+ rent in an area that has actual jobs to support the cost of rent. You shouldn’t HAVE fucking debt for education, healthcare, or for basic functions to grow and survive. Voting doesn’t fix a predatory system that demands pounds of flesh for existence.

You can cherry-pick all the examples about whatever senseless nonsense about other nations; but no single one has a count of interventions and mass-destruction like America and the “system” you want us to “succeed” in.

“Just buy a starter home and good luck on social security! Gotta give your retirement to private corporations!”

Here’s another one to any liberal out there: I’m not voting and a good chunk of this fucking board isn’t voting for genocide nor interested in participating in the circus.

The actual dangerous waste is less than 0.1%. intermediate and low level can be reprocessed. Nuclear is also more capacity efficient than solar.

We also have reactors that do not have the ability to melt down, with the development of molten salt and thorium coming ever closer.

The problem is that capitalist nations cannot be trusted with nuclear; as they will fleece construction, regulation and qualifications every single time. Compared to Chernobyl; which was a design flaw in the early, ancient reactors of the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, incompetence and decadence run deep here and has been responsible for accidents here for that exact reason before.

I still believe nuclear is the way and there are plenty of much more worth it advantages to nuclear power for grid-use or military-use. I believe China is developing these organic panels as a form of “grid self-sufficiency” for rural areas, possibly. The less houses/homes in a nation of a billion connected to energy is more power for all. Could also be used in cars, space (Their first outer-solar system launch is coming up), etc.

Already sold. Say no more.

smashing into someone’s car and totaling eachothers cars for crazy insurance payouts and 10k costs: broke

smashing into someone’s car with an electric bike and leaving a small dent that can be fixed with a plunger: woke

Step 1: create alternative

Step 2: use chromium?? Or don’t.

Step 3: get bought out by Google.

Indeed. I find that a lot of us tend to have hostility towards outsiders. Even myself am capable of it at times. A lot of people/outsiders aren’t curious or interested in the content like you and rather think they’re sticking it to the “evil tankies” or leaving behind some smug comment about western propaganda they consumed. It’s genuinely a 9 times out of 10 thing.

As cfgaussian said. Do stick around and learn about us. Even if you don’t agree with us or have a distaste with us, you’ll find yourself with a litany of new material to learn and educate yourself on outside of political theory. Simply just other perspectives, the diverse community we have here and our collective struggle.

Thanks for being kind, have a nice day.

Try to ignore a lot of the outright haters here who have nothing of critical value to add. We will dunk on each other mercilessly for a mistake in theory. Communist or liberal; the criticism never ends. That is a good thing, in my opinion. It prevents complacency and backwardness.

We also have a tendency to get people who are far, far less open-minded than you to spout insults and propaganda at us; believing we are the most evil thing on the entire fediverse. Hexbear.net is a great place on Lemmy to get a better understanding of the culture.

Lemmygrad is where the theory-heads and devout MLs tend to go, all though all is welcome.

We are a anti-imperialist and communist community. We critically support Iran and Russia while giving our full support to China and the CPC.

What are some Ls? Western propaganda about how you can still only have one daughter but at the same time have the largest population in the world? Western propaganda about a genocide that never happened? Or the western propaganda about how Taiwan is a glorious, liberty-loving island nation that we have no imperialist ambitions over and have ties to the KMT?

I like the Ws more. 15,000+ miles of rail connecting the entirety of the country. Rapidly developing semiconductor industry that’s getting ready to out-compete Nvidia, AMD and Intel. Elimination of abject poverty that we see in the United States and U.K and far more public infrastructure being built than the G5 combined. Of course, this as well with China also developing plans for a melt-down proof pebble bed reactor.

I totally agree. The shitty thing is that they did it only to make kids want it again and drive home a political point and then reinstated it.

Straight up political influencing on kids.

It’s not that simple, but the crux of it is that it’s a type of gambling. You get given a huge community catering to different interests with relative anonymity at a young age. The institutions and programs of this community constantly demand their own scrip and offers that scrip via paid membership per month as well as benefits in the community. You play games that can offer more of that scrip; while sinking your scrip deeper into those games that give diminishing returns. (Sometimes you get lucky or others are generous) It’s no different than any brutally predatory pay2win game except it has a sort of Second Life twist to it in the case of Roblox.

Friendships are harder and harder for the young. Those disenfranchised seek easy companionships in these online communities. A perfect ground for predators of all sorts; including the Roblox team itself at certain points.

Ah, they use political propaganda too. One of the most popular games incited a “bias” (best way to say that as manufacturing consent doesn’t particularly fit) in one of their most popular games by removing all pay to win features and currency as well as related options and gave everyone equal payments in “worthless currency” and called it socialism.

The game is Bloxburg, I believe. They released popular character items (or sponsored, can’t remember) with “We want anti-communism”. Reminder that they are imprinting this on young children and have levers/mechanisms in public schools.

Of course, it solves any production capacity; or any issue with the price of human blood.

But, listen, what if we took demand and turned it into some sort of golden idol that we worship through charts and financial divination?

I think that’s a really great idea.

Depends on what you consider Gen Z or not. I’m prob the cut-off or oldest GenZ; in my personal experience in schools, local area, etc if you’re not rich you’re probably using food-banks and clothing donations. It’s not uncommon for Americans leveraged to the god damn ears to use those services. It’s why you see nice cars roll up to them and apparently well-to-do Americans taking things. Because it’s all presentation and they have more debt than actual wealth.

If you’re a little better off, you get some nice clothes from family. It’s not the 90s where you can just go into a thrift store and walk out with 5 cum-stained pants for 10 bucks. Thrift stores where I live are starting to raise prices. One pair of thrifted cum-stained pants is 20 now.

I’ve been wearing the same wardrobe for years now. The idea to me of throwing down 20 bucks for six pairs of socks is ridiculous when I KNOW they were made for 2 cents with exploited labor. Combine that with the fact that GenZ has record levels of unemployment/mental illness. Of course they prefer “cheap fast” ANYTHING.

If you can learn how to sew you also realize both how cheap the shit you’re wearing is AND how long clothes can actually last.

The joke is that the country is in a national hiring freeze and they aren’t gonna give out raises anyways.

It’s like Charlie and the football; every fucking time.

I’ve always wanted to destroy my chamber of commerce.
