  • Facebook got their seed money from Peter Thiel. They also employ a lot of ex CIA. So not sure about the no conspiracy thing.

    Also the millions they take in creating targeted political ads in order to manipulate their users and influence elections isn’t a conspiracy. How they met with the President, kissed his ring, and then went all in on right wing content.

    Yeah no conspiracy here, just keep walking


  • Well it is clear you don’t have any sort of plan. That is okay. I was hoping for some insight. And no, an indefinite strike from me, a person who lives on a little island in the middle of nowhere is not going to make any fucking difference.

    I did not create the Nazi slogan America First nor do I approve of it. Honestly, your acting like a little bitch.

    I think you are mistaken about my approach and saying we all share the same Earth is a wake up call. Do you think we can vote our way out of what is happening? Don’t bother answering that as it is seriously rhetorical.

    What is up with Europeans getting bent about talking with US citizens. The thread I am commenting on specifically brought up the US. I think you are behaving like an asshole honestly.

    Don’t bother reporting back, all you have is shit to sling.


  • The problem is we don’t know what to do. Do you have plans to address wealth inequality in your country? If not, then I would say you are going to face the exact same problem.

    The US has done so much damage it is almost unbelievable. It really is incredible to think. I believe they toppled 75 countries just during the Cold War. US corporations are directly responsible for most of the environmental disasters we are facing.

    I just learned that US companies have 14,000 unplugged oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico and several hundred abandon platforms. The amount of environmental damage is staggering and that is just one spot. Superfund sites are everywhere and companies are not slowing down.

    There are no real US leftist, at least not ones in power. Europe, while slightly better, still has mostly left-light in their politics. There are no radical leftist in power that are changing things for the better. They may exist, but how far are they with replacing capitalism and representative democracy?

    Governments will probably never be the answer either if we can’t reign in the most dominant force in our world known as corporations. Which, at the direction of the wealthy, are destroying our environment and culture at a break neck pace.

    We are all in this together, there is only on Earth. As long as we keep playing the game the wealthy want us to we are sunk.





  • Capital controls the media, not the left. The concept that the left controls the media is made up in order to justify pushing the goalpost to the right.

    It is no different than the conservatives’ beef with colleges not giving their ideology safe spaces. This is most pronounced in law schools where conservatives are demanding their “constitutional originalism” reasoning be taught. The problem is, of course, there is no actual legal theory. They just made it up.

    You seem to be upset that the left, which is not represented by any political party or corporation is not in control of the narrative. This is by design.

    Listen, appealing to the dark side of human nature, othering people, blaming government is easy and works great. It is low hanging fruit stuff. It is effective for control and manipulation. It is also the opposite of what people on the left want.

    They are not victims, they just don’t have any real power. The US has always been controlled by the wealthy and they are choosing the easy way out to stay in power. Giving the illusion of democracy takes a lot of work and even some occasional minor concessions. It is and always will be an illusion though in our current system.

    We really need to form a government that is designed by nature to resist corruption instead of embracing it. Until we have something like that nothing meaningfully will change.
