Hell yeah, another border agent down. It's a tragedy that the person they were trying to arrest also died, though.

Hi! I'm one of those people who has sympathy for Luigi because he did it. I think the deaths of CEOs like Thompson, billionaires, etc are necessary to create any sort of systemic change that will alleviate the suffering of the working class. It's not because he's hot like mainstream news seems to think, but because I'm tired of being the punching bag of the rich in this class war that we've all been thrust into, and because Luigi fought back.

It's also interesting that the news is saying Luigi is hot and that's why people support him, when it's more the other way around and people find him hot because he shot Thompson.

Give it to a group like Just Stop Oil or other direct action / sabotage focused climate activism group - they're perpetually broke and could do a lot of good with that money.

Or maybe when you reach $1B we take away all your money, maybe name a park after you, and put a little gold star on your ID and license plate so everyone can know you're on New Game+ and are super good at capitalism. Then they can show everyone how it's done by pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and proving they got rich through hard work and talent rather than luck and exploitation.

I've said both. I'm a professional pentester / red teamer, and yeah, we send each other "I'm in" memes when we pop a box.

I'm glad she broke her hip. Genuinely, she deserves worse for constantly sabotaging any efforts to actually represent the working class in the Democratic Party.

Most people, and especially most techies at places like Google have lived lives where systems appeared to play by the rules, where their legal rights are respected. So, it hits you out of nowhere the first time a company does something blatantly illegal to suppress dissent or union organizing. It's hard to internalize that it'll happen until it happens to you or someone you care about.

It's why a classic mistake union organizers make is to not understand just how harshly a corporation will crack down on you, and that you have to be organizing in secret until you're ready to win the power struggle that'll ensue once you tip your hand to your bosses.

A similar shitty Gadsden flag parody was in a protest flyer I saw recently -

Who cares if comments are controversial? The more important thing is whether they're justified and/or correct. After all, in the USA, saying that trans people deserve rights is "controversial". If we stopped saying anything that someone might have a problem with, we'd end up with a family-friendly, corporate-friendly space that bars speech that aims to change or destroy the status quo.

We really don't need more liberal apologia, IMO this space is a welcome respite from all that. Can we please not let it be overrun by class collaborationism, revisionism and bourgeoisie pseudo-theory? If our goal is to create a proletariat strong enough to throw off the chains of our oppression and move towards socialism, we need to not platform liberal ideology that reinforces the status quo of capitalism.

IMO being infertile is a plus - can't accidentally have any kids, and can't be coerced into doing so.

I'm far left (anarcho-syndicalist) and I say vote. It's not that hard and buys us more time to do our organizing and try to build out unions and mutual aid networks while fascism is at least growing more slowly.
