Hell yeah dude, sounds like you got it all figured out

Why do you seemingly think and talk like a tacky YA novel’s idea of a cynical seen-it-all badass? Do you actually find that kind of cliche-based existence compelling, or are you afraid to engage openly with what you don’t understand because vulnerability is scary?

“Good and bad things are both the same and everything is actually evil, which means that by doing nothing and supporting the greatest evil, I’m actually above the struggle entirely”

How convenient a worldview for someone who wants to continue doing nothing

I will gather up the destroyed chunks of asphalt and sell them as artifacts to the Trump faithful like a peasant on the road to Llhasa in 1951

Yeah tbh it was kind of fucked up of Obama to make everybody do the macarena at gunpoint, I don’t see this talked about often

Got it, content of critque=

Okay okay, for real. You seem to think that because I recognize the necessity of uprooting capitalism, I have nothing positive to replace it with? Cause brother lemme introduce a concept you may have heard of before;

I mean…yeah, we’ve been supplying Saudi Arabia with weapons and diplomatic cover for at least 4 presidencies now. We were the ones who armed their bombing of Yemen. Fighting them off is how Ansar Allah (“the Houthi rebels”) cut their teeth.

New US proxy does months of massacres:

Same guy does Orange Stuff:

That doomer mindset that benefits nobody except the oligarchs, the mindset of…pointing out that the oligarchs are oligarchs? Genuinely confused here. You seem to be interpreting physical observations are some kind of provocative personal statement. Slug and salt physically cannot coexist. Flame and gunpowder physically cannot coexist. Capitalism and a healthy, peaceful living world physically cannot coexist. Pointing this out is no more “hateful” than pointing out that 6 times 7 is 42.

Choosing a hateful side or the other hateful side and never thinking about your own ideas, needs of many, morals and ethics, or your own belief is utter disgrace and folly

The needs of the many is actually our whole thing here, and the thing about the needs of the many is that if you actually take it seriously, what usually happens is that the sideliners who have spent much less time examining the facts will call you hateful for pointing out that the hell empire built on mass-subjugation is unsurprisingly the primary obstacle to the world we want. And that a house with a rotten foundation stands no hope of reconstruction.

While bewildered, I really am trying to approach this openly, which is why ive gone back and softened a couple embarassing redditisms in the edit. So genuinely, and in a spirit of understanding: what is your critique of my assessment?

Only half my life ago, but as a surly teen I didn’t yet have the vocabulary to explain why

Rainbow road

In the case of capitalism that is literally true. Capital will try to destroy any country, culture, ecosystem or set of beliefs that can’t be exploited, or that threaten it’s ability to exploit. It literally is a case of “you have to pick one, and only one can win.” Liveable planet, or capitalism. No other options, no way to avoid the choice. Not choosing is choosing.

Come on man, you can’t be leaving yourself wide open like this

It took 250 years of compacting garbage into a pit for the methane to reach self-ignition pressure

Libs be libbin

Yeah famously no nazis were ever nice to their friends and families (“good people”) while doing bad things for what they thought were good reasons. Like… Snowden, bro, what the fuck are you talking about

I had braced myself to read an example of western condescension towards actually existing socialism, but was instead rewarded with something nice that made me go

Sucks to be perceived
