Goddamn right, we want everything, not just the banks

Nah I think this user is saying that both have their place. And really, I don’t think that’s controversial. E.g., we do need to seize the banks, which will probably be violent, but we also need to do mutual aid, which need not be violent.

Cops, soldiers, politicians, CEOs, judges, landlords, debt collectors, repossession agents, and any job solely designed to impose the will of the capitalists upon the world.

much easier math

No thank you, I like hard math. I didn’t learn all this math to not use it 😆

IMO measurements are actually one of the few areas in life where we are living in a decent timeline because US Customary is basically an affine rescaling of SI Units (affine but not linear because (at least) of x [K] = (x [°F] − 459.67) × 5/9) with exact conversion factors if you’re careful. And then my personal preference for the units I was socialized under become irrelevant for practical work.

is like with free healthcare; i.e., it’s still dogshit in almost every other way.

Not a MAGA chud and neither is OP. The fault lies with the Empire, , and all their minions, including the “”“nice”“” ones pretending to be “socialists” like AOCIA, for attacking Iran.

But I don’t think it’s normal for weather to be -10 degrees F with snow, and then 3 days later 75 degrees F! That seems insane to me!

The climate is going crazy, but strictly speaking, you can’t logically conclude that from solely your local weather fluctuations. I.e., climate change is a global property of our planet, which requires global statistics…which we have, but your folks either refuse to look or refuse to listen to experts who have looked.

And extreme weather events are more likely, but that doesn’t mean they never occurred before or never would occur without climate change.

I’m not saying this to downplay the severity of the climate crisis or even to say that you literally can never use local weather events to reason about climate change, but IMO is it both politically and mathematically important to stress the global nature of climate change whenever it is brought up.

No Western company has no blood on their hands of course, and for this reason (and so many others) they should all be relegated to the dustbin of history like our entire culture, including the company I personally work for.

Frankly, I am 1000% willing to face a revolutionary firing squad for my limited part in the Empire if that’s what justice looks like for the people victimized by our Empire. At least I would die happy knowing that justice was served and the people rose up.

But to suggest that there is no daylight between almost any other job within the Empire versus working in the military… silliness.

Me lol it’s the best thing ever

It’s almost like people can be both victims and victimizers 🤪

Oof, too based for .world I see 😆

The American economy has been jury-rigged for decades to pipeline disadvantaged youth into the military, and said youth are very close to thve bottom of the list of people responsible for that dynamic.

Completely and utterly aware of that dynamic, but what parts of “no excuse” and “baby-killing machine” are so difficult for people to understand? We all know that there are some things you “just don’t do” because they are monstrous to do! Joining the military needs to be one of them!

said youth are very close to the bottom of the list of people responsible for that dynamic.

Right but that doesn’t make them not responsible at all for their individual choices, individual actions, or for their part in the baby-killing machine. Obviously the capitalists are the ones most responsible by several orders of magnitude, but that does not mean that working people or poorer people who put their bodies on the line to work for the capitalists’ baby-killing machine are completely innocent. Like you do not lose your moral agency once you fall below the poverty line.

Like I’m asking for the absolute bare minimum of resisting temptation and liberals in this thread are like “no, soldiers are like innocent little baby lambs who have been shepherded into the military and have no moral agency” and like, fuck right off to hell with that take. Troops are people with the same ability to make moral decisions as any other people, and ostensibly they’re tough people, so they should be able to process this extremely simple if distressing reality that their “”“service”“” was evil and that they have to live with the consequences of their own mistake.
