Ding ding ding

It was always class war.

Two sides of a duopoly upholding capitalism? Of course they will degenerate into a uniparty structure to uphold the powers that be.

This is not a lesson to be learned from the US but rather a lesson to learn from innumerable instances of this EXACT thing happening in elections and revolutions throughout history.

No war but class war. Everything else is just s distraction.

No thank you comrade

This article is funny as hell man. Comparing Zohran meeting Trump to fucking Stalin wheeling and dealing with Hitler is about where I decided the hysterics were a bit too much for me. They make some valid, if emotionally charged, points but largely I think we are getting a little insane talking about a fucking mayor who wants to do some modest reform in NYC. Zohran is significant but he’s one dude with comparatively little power compared to the others we’re apparently putting him next to.

Edit: For the record there have been some historians who claim the time bought with that deal with the Nazis was the time that was necessary for the USSR to bolster it’s military to ultimately be able to squelch the Nazi threat. I’ll let you decide if you think a little temporary uncomfyness was worth the end result.

Unsurprising Hong Kong is lagging getting rid of it given they aren’t really integrated into China overall as much as you’d expect. At least from my understanding. Couple more decades still before they can do that.

Does Google pay you or something? They are an evil company man I assume the worst based on their actions and what they have said. If you wanna use an OS that will be what Microsoft is trying to make Windows into from day one be my guest.

For one on ChromeOS I can run whatever Linux shit I want with their compatibility layer.

Aluminum OS is going to be a locked down like Android is when your carrier locks it down and doesn’t allow users to get root on their phone. They will have an app store with all approved apps on it. Google is currently removing the ability for people to side load apps on their phones (not that most people do that anyway). They will do this on this OS too.

I need you consider the average tech illiterate person who will use this OS and unknowingly have all of their data get silently sucked into Google’s orbit. Google already does this on Android…they want to capture what you do OFF your phone now on other devices too and control it.

I believe in things too much to just lie. It would eat me up inside.

You should read the other comments here because they hit on a lot of them.

This is bad if you want control of your device and data.

Man if I was a piece of shit I’d be a right wing grifter too. You get paid to say the dumbest shit to the stupidest people.

Idk the only time I’ve seen Facebook dot com links is when my parents send me AI videos of animals. I’m trying to get them off of it but they are set in their ways, etc etc

This is the innovation capitalism drives. Just worse versions of things we already have with middlemen bolted on to suck more money or control away from you.

Enshittification comes for everything eventually

Just shows us there is more work to be done to capture these people in our movement too.

I hate this country so fucking much where kids can’t just BE KIDS without getting arrested???

I know this was like 5 years ago but what the actual fuck man. This is a KID. A 6 YEAR OLD BABY.

Any reforms we engage with must necessarily be in service of education and organization of the working class such that we can build the consciousness required to seize the power to reshape society.

Too real. Realizing as an adult I did permanent damage to my brain as a child by accident by watching things like the pain olympics has been a wild one

Advocating for the death of your enemies and crying over them getting killed are two separate things.

Time to find some new activities if meeting people is a priority then I think. Which isn’t to say it will be easy to do but neither are most things worth doing that improve our material existence.

Sweet we’re gonna have systems that not even humans can work on because they didn’t design them? What could possibly go wrong?

You joke but I think a lot of leftists online unironically believe this.

And I’m not even saying armed revolution is necessarily off the table - but it’s certainly not what we try first or even second or third for that matter.
