Exactly: we live in a capitalist society which has been in decline into fascism for generations which makes the counter culture the opposite of those things. I get the sense that because people can think of a few examples of mercenary secur

This isnt anywhere near my experience at all. People don't like empire and if you look around your life and think everyone you see would be pleased to do military contracts you're in a ( really disconcerting ) bubble.

i find that reactionaries of all kinds put a lot of work into the mental gymanastics required to argue that somehow they are the real victims of injustice and it usually boils down to "people wont let me do whatever i want and also lov

it doesn't seem like they're having any issue with it in the past 5-10 really. its not that hard to go to the mainland if you have science or engineering creds these days.

cant tell if you really believe funding science creates inflation lmao

NDT made this clear like a generation ago: its absolute nonsense to cut science funding to get federal "spending under control". The amount that goes to all of this is a drop in the bucket compared to military and subsidies. hell,

deranged. "far left" is anything you don't agree with. also, almost none of the people from before musk are actually gone, the only difference is a dramatic increase in antisocial nazi bots and the groypers being more bold.

I think the notion that people have recourse against giant companies, a military industrial complex, or even their landlords in the US is naive. I believe this to be pretty clear so I don't feel the need to stretch it into a deep discu

its sinophobia because it perfectly describes the conditions we live in in the US and many parts of europe, but we work hard to add lots of "nuance" when we criticize the west but its different and dystopian when They do it over t

This is one of the best things ive read on here in a long time. Definitely one of the greatest "it runs doom" posts ever.

Because they promised the latter to the investors and due to the nature of capitalism they can never admit they’ve done all they can.

This isn’t how most serious archives work. Archiving media is sensitive, careful work which takes time and space. Providing tours is at very least expensive and at worst a serious risk to the collection.

Its sad that we needed to have a partially avoidable mass death due to COVID in order for people to start considering these chronic conditions more broadly in society. People have been having these issues for generations.

The problem with Americans is that they believe themselves to be temporarily embarrassed millionaires. In its original context we find this a funny if depressing cliche but when applied to our current context I think it explains in a very d
