Late-stage capitalism really has this neo-feudalistic feel, where the Kings and Lords (Musk etc) have a bunch of concubines with bastard children who have claims to the throne or whatever. Fuckin weird timeline.

Joe Biden has succeeded in creating more wealth for the rich than any of his predecessors has ever managed, and this is why he, not Trump, will have the full backing of the bourgeois class.

So this is basically like, petit bourgeois (Trump) vs. mega bourgeois (Biden) right? Do you think Trump might actually go to jail for that reason? Because the mega bougies are more powerful? (or are they?)

For a garbage station, that looks very clean! They must have a good system for it.

Sigh, my government could never…

Capitalist fascist USA with its so-called “threat” from communist China and nukes… are we literally in the Fallout timeline?

Me being born

Weird how they all seem to be quite aware that America is an empire and is fucking everything up and basically 1/3rd of the world hates us now, but then Scott Ritter is just like "And THATS why you need to "

Like dude you know where we’re at, right? Like they literally stole your passport. I don’t get it.

Did anyone else have the idea drilled into their head during school that Communism created mass poverty and a failed state?

I think basically everyone is, hence the “communism is when no food” meme. That’s what they told me in school.

So was the laptop thing real? I assumed it wasn’t because I only ever heard QAnon types screaming about it. But that was when I was still in lib land.

and the traveler maintains a full-time schedule that enhances contact with the Cuban people, supports civil society in Cuba, and promotes the Cuban people’s independence from Cuban authorities, and that results in meaningful interaction between the traveler and Cuban individuals, the individual’s travel qualifies for the general license.

Lmao they make it sound like you’re supposed to be some missionary of capitalism.

Hello Cuban people!!! Have you heard the good news about the Free Market??

Has it always been like this, and each generation people like us notice it and others don’t, or is this truly unprecedented?

Aren’t people already unhappy with him? This seems like a very very bad idea.

Yeah my dad is quite the chud too. I still love him though, but it’s hard to connect with someone who doesn’t live in the same plane of reality as you. With the fascists he gets his news from, they always start with a grain of truth. So at least we were both able to talk shit about the military industrial complex the other day. But for him, he thinks it’s just a matter of voting in the right guy to “drain the swamp” and make things “constitutional” again. For me, as a straight up communist, I don’t even think our settler colonial genocidal slave state even has a right to exist. But I think he’d have a shit fit if he knew I was actually communist lol.

It’s really sad because I can see the ways his programming has harmed himself and our family, and mostly himself, but I don’t know if he’ll ever be able to see that.

I can’t understand how they could be this out of touch. Like it has to be on purpose right? It’s like a ruse and they want trump to win. Like wrestling kayfabe. Who’s writing this shit, man? Lol

Yay another media post! You do a very good job with these.

I looked at the original NYP article and holy shit that is disgusting. Straight up naziposting.

Do you have a link? I wonder if it might be helpful to show to my chud father to at least get him to understand that we’re an evil empire.

Lucy gets better at the end. Or at least starts to lol.

I know Maximus is stuck in an evil cult but he’s cute

Thank you comrade wasp

Nah I’m good, I think I’ll sleep. zzz

I always feel that we should leave the door open just in case some of their users are based, or can be convinced, just like I was convinced.

I was a Reddit lurker escaping to Lemmy and was already anticapitalist but just had a bunch of brainworms left. I didn’t trust the “red fash tankies” based on all the stuff that’s everywhere. But scrolling around lemmygrad and hexbear for a while had me scratching my head and wondering what all the fuss is about. Clearly you guys are NOT some kind of weird crypto fash thing but are actually very educated with sound analysis of history and politics. So if there are more people like me who are curious, then we should leave the door open.

Of course, if it becomes untenable (like how shitjustworks went full nazi bar) then we shouldn’t bother exposing our comrades to bigoted harrassment. Yes, it seems like the admin(s) are libs, but a piracy-based instance is always gonna have some anticapitalist lean, so it’s less likely for dbzer0 to go full nazi bar.
