Capitalist theorists, you say? I call them astrologers for the wealthy.

That’s the neat part, it’s a scam

Yup. That was 5 years ago and his fortune has like tripled since then. Well, his latest pay package is worth more than triple of what he was worth 5 years ago ($1 tn vs $300 bn).

We should totally trust him this time though!

Yea, capitalism tends to do that :/

This is the logical conclusion of the neoliberal principle of expediency. It was most obvious when Trump said “it would be too expensive and take too long to give these people a trial” before he deported them. Legally that doesn’t mean you can deport people without a trial if it would take longer than you would like, but I might just be old fashioned too.

How did you arrive at that conclusion? Specifically the conclusion about what was on those boats.

This is the wrong approach imo. It doesn’t matter whether there were drugs on those boats or not (there were, those were obviously drug boats and there was much more cocaine on them than on a billionaire’s yacht) the problem here is the collapse of international law and the USA for the umpteenth time committing acts of aggression in foreign countries, trying to start a war. Even if the US grants itself power of World Police, there is a protocol for drug arrests and it is not blowing them out of the water. That is fascism, the logical conclusion of the neoliberal principle of expediency.

The same thought keeps occurring to me: “White America is just finding out that America is fascist.”

No outrage for the firehoses, the dogs… they think the Keystone pipeline protest was just a fluke.

Wait is the US more right-wing than China? Isn’t China supposed to be an authoritarian hell hole committing genocide and the USA a bastion of freedom, merely helping with a genocide?

You and me are allies.

Hell yea we are. Let’s be real though, if we’re in jail we’re not doing shit. We have to stay out of jail to be effective.

But if you live in a city of 300,000 people and 99% don’t know about self-hosting you still have 3,000 people who do. Unite!

XD omg how embarrassing… Kanye and Sankara sound the same lmao

“The slave who cannot organize his own revolt deserves no pity for his fate. He alone is responsible for his misfortune if he believes his master’s false promise of freedom. Freedom can be won only through struggle.”

• Thomas Sankara

This will just become an excuse to jail you, then. “Unlicensed radio broadcast” or whatever is the equivalent. With those kinds of brutish, authoritarian regimes, anyone of intelligence is a threat that needs to be disappeared, and that includes you poindexter with <checks notes> OsmAnd~ installed on their phone.
