DisabledAceSocialist, you never miss

I’m a bit out of the loop too but I heard some superbowl advert made people finally think twice about installing a camera connected to the internet on their doorstep.

Where we were at as a country 15 years ago when it came to homophobia is approximately where we are at today with transphobia in my opinion. It is far too normalised, I’ll hear people joke about a friend of a friend of a friend being a ‘they/them thing’ same way I would hear about someone being a ‘bender’ back when I was still in primary school.

Like this person you know nothing about has decided to come out as non-binary, one of the bravest and hardest decisions in their fucking life, and here you are laughing at them you pathetic, ignorant, gossiping man-child. Sorry, I just needed to get that out of me.

Capitalism is in decay, and the party which were supposed to be the social democratic workers party - Labour - have been mask off, right-wing capitalists. Meanwhile, the billionaires are preventing class consciousness from developing by funding the anti-immgration nonsense.

Under these conditions, of course Reform will do well however, no matter how much they try, people in the UK are seeing the western capitalism system in more and more of a negative lens thanks to all of the scandals the past few years, particularly the Epstein files, all of the failures of neoliberalism and austerity, the NHS being left to rot, kids starving, the rise of China proving socialism still can succeed, the Palestinian genocide which we were aiding Israel in doing, and much more.

Labour and the Tories will very likely remain unpopular, Reform I can’t see getting much more popular, they’ll probably retain about 30% of the votes. The LibDems will do quite well picking up those not woke enough for the Greens but not fascist enough for Reform. And the Greens, who are not just the environmentalists party but are becoming under new leadership, a leftist populist party, are not to be underestimated. I wouldn’t bet my life on them winning but I can see it happening even though currently it seems so unlikely to most.

Such a beautiful reply, I wish I was as educated with my research & analysis as well as so articulate with my points as you are - instead of my typical half-assed rambling lol. Thank you and sorry for being overly pessimistic!

Ted Kazcynski had somewhat of a point - I say somewhat because he was a leftist hater and I think a bit off the rails. Technology is already way out of control, I don’t think most people understand that if there were to be a socialist revolution in a 1st world country any time soon, just how much of an advantage the state has over the people due to it’s surveillance network. Privacy for all intents and purposes is practically gone already if you’re of interest to the intelligence agencies and around anything with a connection and/or even just standing outside thanks to satellite imagery. And that is just the technology which we know of, it’s horrifying to think about the possibility of tech that remains classified.

There are certain people who seem to be unable to understand that their exact method is not the only viable option. Like they close their minds so tightly that nothing but this one exact thing is the ‘real’ thing.

Imagine someone being like, “This painting I created is the only beautiful piece of art ever made, every other painting is painted incorrectly by dumb, talentless artists, I am the one true painter.”

Tried explain to my nana today that me owning a house is basically impossible even if I get a university degree and work very hard, saving up for decades, investing smartly, sacrificing my spare time e.t.c. which is unlikely for me to be able to handle as an autistic ADHDer.

I explained that most who own a house only can because they either did back when it was affordable decades ago like some of her friends or because their parents are wealthy and thus so are they because nepotism. She tried arguing, “well the world is just not fair like that” and I replied, “well let’s fight to make it fair”.

Slowly but surely my nana will be radicalised, I am the evil brainwashing commie grandson.

I’m not waiting, I and many others are constantly going through the process of learning and applying Marxist-Leninist ideology to themselves and their local community. The Bolshevik’s were a small party until revolution came, the decline and fall of systems and ideologies is not linear, they unpredictably and wildly grow and shrink.

But look around, capitalism is in decay, it is clearer now than it was just a few years ago and in a few years it is very likely it will be even clearer and even more decayed. And this will directly affect people’s political views.

Real, signifcant change to our society only has come through organised revolution (it is how feudalism became capitalism) history has shown this. Please read Reform or Revolution by Rosa Luxembourg.

Oh yes because there only the 2 types of people I gave as examples who voted leave. No more nuance to it than that of course.

A broken clock is right twice a day. We did not leave the EU for the long-term betterment of the working class but it is something which we have gained. If we want better working rights, we need to organise within our own country for major changes not join a capitalist, imperialist entity for mild concessions.

The EU is a capitalist cult, if the working class of Britain want a better Britain we should stay out of the EU. Yes, many voted leave because they’re anti-immigrant flagshaggers types but many were also misled, such as my mum, who believed the narrative that if we left the EU the NHS would get more funding.

Fuck off back to reddit with this libshit take.

And when he talks of the US people, do you think he internally includes the genocided native American’s as part of that? Probably not.

we are approaching the peakslop, we will reminisceslop back on this timeslop and tell ourselves we didn’t know how luckslop we really were

I have been playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 this week for the first time and part of the game is blacksmithing your own tools, it has this whole well-designed minigame for making badass weapons and you have to buy your own materials for it, make the gear properly so it is high quality and then find somewhere to sell it or use it yourself, if you do use it yourself you also have to repair it over time on this little sharpening wheel thing.

It is so rewarding and freeing to be able to work when you want, for yourself and then be rewarded properly for your hard work and feel the pride of your own ability! I know real life working is not as simple as it is in this game but it really made it click for me that our relations to production, our exploitation as workers, our necessity to work to survive rather than to thrive all make working go from a mostly positive to a mostly negative for the majority of individuals.

If we could all live with relative comfort as a guarantee and then have our own self-employed trades we are passionate to make extra money for ourselves and our community, life would be pretty good as it turns out, someone should write a manifesto about this ‘community-ism’ thing.

This post reminds me of this golden top gear YTP (Clarkson’s £11 cum car) lmao:

You cannot expect the bootlicker’s to promote something which goes against the boot, at least not often. There are thousands of horror stories like these from every capitalist country every year that get buried. If you want more people to know about it, then do what you can with what platform you have, and the rest is entirely out of your control - another reason to fight for revolution.
