Marxist-Leninist but willing to buddy up with Progressives.

Wants Oregon, or any state, to secede from the American Union to preserve rights. Never found a time where America was great.

  • It was word salad a bit, but I was concerned about people either wanting to die or trying to make clever quips about it.

    The term Capitalist Realism I took from Mark Fisher's book, Capitalist Realism, in which he describes people believing (at the time the book was written) that Capitalism is "human nature", applies to everything, and that all attempts to the contrary are fruitless. And when someone is buried in debt, and believes in Capitalist Realism, they'd probably commit suicide out of hopelessness. This is why it's so important to understand how socialism works, and work for its establishment.

    TL;DR I understand that the problems are caused by Capitalism. They are fixable, there is still hope, and I worry about so many people considering and glorifying suicide.

  • This isn't a place to make clever quips. This is a person being pushed to suicide.

  • We should make dying in battle a good thing again. The wrong kind of peace is a blight upon society.

  • I'm very worried about everyone here. Really, I know that there is a way out that isn't suicide--it's revolution--but it seems like you've all submitted to Capitalist Realism. I've thought about risking my life in an attempt to overthrow the state, but unlike you all, I am legitimately afraid of losing my life. It'd be such a sad note to end my life on. I wouldn't be there to see any surprising good things happen. I wouldn't get to see a socialist system established before me, and I wouldn't be able to do anything to help anyone. How come you all feel fine about death? There's nothing afterwards. There were the Viet Cong who couldn't live to see their country establish socialism, there were the Leninists who died fighting the Tsar who couldn't see the Soviet Union come to be, there were the slaves who died in Southern plantations who couldn't see Juneteenth. If you were really willing to die, you'd die in battle.

  • I should've been on here instead. I legitimately thought that Anarchists, Communists, &c could make a difference being on there. Now I get people deliberately blocking accounts that aren't even fascist, and being concerned with "bullying" instead of actually solving real problems. BSky has upper-class liberals talking about D&D, whining about how laws aren't being followed correctly, cheerleading American imperialism, making unfunny jokes, and claiming that radical politics came from 4chan rather than legitimate political grieviances. All sorts of suburban slime. I really should've been elsewhere.

  • I mean, this is incredibly tame for imperialist propaganda. You wouldn't believe the shit I see in America. Take Enemy At The Gates for example.

  • You should check out Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It's pretty old by now, but it still works as reflections of imperialist propaganda, imported and spread through U.S. troops with names like Derek and Brad.

  • Shit, I wasn't on here. Tell you what, make another Devil's Panties Blackout in six months. We encourage people to stock up on canned foods that can be eaten later, and bathroom items, soaps, whatever. Friend groups are established for the blackout just in case somebody loses something. It might last more than a week, maybe even a month. We should post this in streamers' chats to encourage people to spread the word; this will be on fun streams where it will not be intrusive. Make sure to target people who can remember to do things, or use it as an opportunity to help people to remember schedules. People will stay with each other to get along.

  • Fascism is rising because the bourgeoisie is funding it to keep out Communism, Socialism, Marxism, and other things that explain why most people globally cannot afford a house, or why England pays such low wages, or why groceries are so expensive in America, or why Germany is undergoing an economic collapse. Once you understand Marxism even simply, these quotes will start to make sense.

    P.S. If you're going to say that fascism is rising in power, please just say that. I know that things are shitty because fascism is rising, but I hate when people are vague.

  • Right here you can see capitalism collapsing in on itself. This is the result of a society that glorifies consumption and makes work undesirable to do.
