This one is spicy but it does work on many levels. Manufacturing consent exists, so unless your system is Anarchism, it doesn't really reflect the "will" of the people.
holy shit this means a lot thank you 🫶
You already deleted the previous post because of backlash, and said it was not something you wanted. Why repeat it?
just because i deleted my post doesn’t mean im just cool with the hateful dialogue going on.
i stand by this one to a greater degree as it’s more thought out, more transparent, and posted with direct intent to call out bigotry (rather than with the intent of entertainment as the last one was).
No Rule?
Unacceptable, they should try getting a better system of goverment to rule out the possibility of this happening again.
I mean lots do, but once they get too big for their britches they tend to Epstein themselves or unalived by police. Should more of us act up in response? Sure. However, we're the heartland of manufacturing consent and that system is effective. Activists die all the time in the USA, you just rarely hear much about them.
US leads world culture, if the past is any indication. If we get royally fucked here, expect the same to come everywhere else.
I mean, "my people are literally dying."
Anarcho-communist movements do exist and actually work.
They also get continuously assaulted by militias and law enforcement departments financed by plutocratic interests.
Our oligarchs aphave shown they'd sooner scorch the earth than give up their power and become one of the commons. In fact, they are literally doing so.
Our species just may not me into massive cooperative states, until we figure out a sociological trick to get the to favor lifting everyone (including themselves) rather than being satisfied they can kick at lower rungs of the hierarchy.
But we really like dominance hierarchy and are glad to perpetuate it from schoolyard bullying to tribal genocide. Our primal drives to other and kill each other is currently beating out reason. My own hope is skeptical.
Drug addicts, abortion seekers, drag queens...
