the term “doomer” is getting pushed by the algorithm and too many of you are playing along. the term is a psyop to discredit people who acknowledge and talk about reality. recognizing flock cameras and data centers are furthering the surveillance police state doesn’t make you a doomer; it makes you still in touch with reality. recognizing billionaire fascists gutted the government and put it in $40 trillion in debt while making tens of trillions off those wars doesn’t make you a doomer; it makes you aware of who our enemies are (not your neighbors btw). recognizing that capitalism has killed over half the animals on earth doesn’t make you a doomer; it makes you aware of evil. recognizing insane psychopaths leading the us of israel are committing a genocide and have bombed+attacked 15 countries in the last 2 years doesn’t make you a doomer; it means you see the imperialist hegemony as it is. recognizing gas prices and grocery prices are insane and due to the above + corporate greed doesn’t make you a doomer; it means you still see 2+2=4 and maintain winston smithism. recognizing climate change, nuclear holocaust risk (us of israel again), and unfettered ai deployment as species and planet risking endeavors doesnt make you a doomer; it means you still appreciate life despite the onslaught of propaganda that they shove in your eyeballs to make you lose your soul. recognizing epstein didn’t kill himself doesn’t mean you’re a doomer; it means you understand how power works in the west. recognizing the above is all lied about by a media owned by the hegemonic psychopathic pedophilic oligarchs and then you are shamed as a “doomer” for seeing it doesn’t make you one; it means you are still a human. where the fuck my humans at?! keep talking about reality! we are each other’s life lines!

Lincoln was a third party candidate who emerged bc neither major party would take up abolitionism. If she had her way, my people would still be enslaved, & she wouldn't be in this country bc there would've been no Black civil rights struggle to overturn racist immigration policy.
Louder for the people in the back!!!!!

Some of you aren’t afraid of socialism. You’re afraid someone you consider beneath you might receive something you had to struggle for. And instead of questioning why you had to struggle, you’ve decided everyone else should suffer too. Fascinating little psychological prison you’ve built.

In the past 24 hours... 1. We found out that data centers are bot farms 2. Bot farms play a direct role in changing public opinion and changing elections 3. Billionaires desperately support and want data centers I think it's safe to say that billionaires are the catalyst for the far-right rise we've seen globally...

seeing as the taste discourse is back on the timeline if ai truly develops taste i still don’t think it will be equivalent to human taste, it’ll be its own thing (like ai already very much has its own recognisable taste it makes sense this will continue to develop)
i hate to continue the taste discourse but i have the final infallible argument

I can’t stress enough that this would mean the complete extinction of human culture. You need art because it connects you to all who’ve gone before you; it challenges you to embrace perspectives not your own. Media generated to your exact preferences is the death of the soul.

art (inclusive of video games) is fundamentally about discovery, progression, communication, epiphanies, etc. these are all things that require human(s) on the other side surprising you with *their* obfuscated secrets. it’s like a magic show (the secrets are essential). even when the tricks & secrets are known, mastering them is very much a joy too. a few relevant miyamoto quotes: “games are a conversation between the developer and the player” “the obvious objective of video games is to entertain people by surprising them with new experiences."

I fucking hate class traitors. Capitalists defend capital—that’s expected. But workers defending their own exploitation and self-proclaimed socialists legitimizing imperialism help disarm the very class capable of overthrowing this system. Class betrayal is sabotage from within.

The contradictions of capitalism are intensifying. Governments impose austerity to preserve capital accumulation, while workers and students are forced to pay the price. The Epstein class calls it fiscal responsibility; the working class experiences it as class warfare.
🇧🇪 BRUSSELS ERUPTS! Chaos in Brussels as Anti-Austerity Protests Turn Violent The unrest comes amid growing opposition to government austerity measures, education cuts, rising school costs, and proposed budget reforms. Students in Belgium have joined a wider wave of protests that has also gripped neighboring France. Tens of thousands have taken to the streets of Brussels today, with trade unions protesting government spending cuts and the rising cost of living.

When a political system requires police violence to preserve its legitimacy, it exposes the truth: its power rests not on popular consent, but on coercion. A system that cannot serve the people without policing them has failed the people.

Breaking: French police charge at high school student protesters and beat them with billy clubs. As always it is the police who escalate and provoke the violence. Their function has never been to serve the people, but to protect and serve capital.

"manifest destiny" was actually just mass murder, an expression of colonialism.

the social security debate is manufactured to pit working folks against each other and make them fight/blame one another for the decrepit state of the economy, instead of jointly coming after the oligarchs who gutted the government coffers for their wars, bailouts, and subsidies
