2023-03-29 at 5:52 PM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastWe live in an oligarchy. Our political system exists to protect the oligarchs from the working class, by trying to trick people to participate in rigged politics where your only option is voting for a oligarch backed person, or another oligarch backed person. Nothing fundamentally changes in america without the oligarchs OK. We don't live in a democracy. The united states has a law forbidding communists to run for office, and democrats and republicans work hard to engage in third party voter suppression. Politics are a distraction to keep you from using your labor to hurt the oligarchs. It makes people think "maybe I dont have to strike because maybe I can play in the political system designed by and for oligarchs and maybe I can change something!" not realizing that you won't ever get actual fundamental changes from playing by the rules of their system.
Our power is in labor, not in bourgeoise politics that are rigged, and are merely a distraction to keep you from doing what would actually change things - no longer participating in this american system by doing a mass nationwide indefinite strike, backed by mutual aid networks to force the capitalists out. -

2023-03-18 at 12:04 AM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastThe economy doesn't have to be consumer driven anymore. The rich will continue to pay workers just enough to stay alive while they trade money and resources among themselves. Now that everything is owned, the only way to continue growth is to take it from others, and that will start at the bottom.

Originally posted by aldra taking action that guarantees your death is probably the only choice you can make that's truly your own
What about suicide makes you think it is "more genuinely" your own, versus anything else you do?
I don't believe there is a genuine self behind the mask.
You're not your body. If you lost your leg, we could replace it theoretically and you would still be you. In fact, theoretically we could replace every bone in your body, every tissue, and you would still be you.
You're not your brain. Theoretically, if we could replicate your brain exactly the replicated brain wouldn't be a second you; you would still be you, and the new brain would be a new person who may think extremely similarly to you, but they would still be new person who can and will become different than you.
You're not even your brain state. Someone who has experienced a traumatic injury to their brain may develop a different personality, but they are still the same person. Your grandparents can lose their memories as they age but they remain your grandparents. In theory we could reprogram Jack's mind, erase old memories and give him new ones, completely change his personality - and he would still be Jack. He would just act and think differently and no longer identify with how he acted and thought before the procedure.
So what is left? Underneath everything that can be replaced and changed, behind every "choice" and everything that is molded by the world and developes and changes as we age, fundamentally what remains?

2023-03-11 at 11:49 AM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastOh sure, climate change, what a joke! It's not like we're seeing more frequent and severe heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, and floods around the world, right? And those melting glaciers, disappearing Arctic sea ice, and rising sea levels? Pffft, just nature doing its thing, nothing to worry about. And those scientists with their fancy measurements and models? Who needs 'em! I mean, who cares about the future of our planet and the well-being of future generations? As long as we can keep burning fossil fuels and making a quick buck, everything will be just fine!

Originally posted by Fox What else would we pay the retards to do if not bagging groceries and putting the carts back. Should we just euthanize them instead?? You monster
Jobs a job, service to others is a noble pursuit and I can respect those who clean up the messes left behind by slobs and narcissists. -

2023-03-01 at 11:11 PM UTC in Do you like my new glasses?The new ones compliment your face better, are more stylish and make you appear slightly older which will help trick people into assuming you're more mature. They also have a larger field of view and are therefore better at helping you see, which is why you have them.
Your old glasses look like they belong to someone else. -
