there’s an irony in calling your channel ‘unlearning economics’ and then making a bunch of videos outing yourself as a smooth-brained succdem that refuses to investigate marxism beyond a superficial level

i love that ‘pissboy’ is more frequent than ‘piss stain’

It never stops bothering me when people say “comprised of”, as opposed to just “comprises”, or “composed of”.
I try to remind myself that I’m witnessing the evolution of language in real-time, but it just annoys me that what causes language to evolve is just people misusing it.

I’ve been on farming simulator 22 for about a month. never thought it would be much more than just satisfyingly harvesting wheat for a few hours, but now I’m practically a tractor enthusiast

there was a comment on a tiktok criticising kid starver saying ‘there’s just no money. give it time.’, as though the first thing this government didn’t do was commit £3b a year to ukraine, lol

are cowards who don’t have the stomach for genocide

turns out this is basically anyone - the Nazis found that their initial enactment of the final solution (firing squads mostly) was hindered by the psychological impact it had on the soldiers doing it - hence why they tried to find more ‘indirect’ methods of murder, resulting in the gas chambers

isn’t this the show where the chinese tourists are like “all this land shouldn’t belong to one person” and the big macho guy is like “yeah, well, this is like america, bro”

is this loss?

back to germany

I’m guessing the “ethnic German” actually means they’re Americans with German great-great-great-great-grandparents

there is no broad left-wing party is the issue. the greens are lukewarm socialists/socdems, the NIP is socialist but small and regionalist, the worker’s party is just galloway being a careerist, all the communist parties have issues with racism/homophobia/transphobia/revisionism and no MP could survive the media while running as a communist anyway etc.
I may be biased as an anarchist but socialist independents seem to be the way to go for britain, given that every attempt at a socialist party invariably is usurped from within or sabotaged in the media - it’s harder for the MSM to sabotage hundreds of independent candidates rather than a single bloc, and voters tend to like independents for whatever reason - perhaps as an alternative to the westminster duopoly regardless of politics

it looks like it was originally posted on bilibili, so idk if there’s an option on the site to do that, or if it was edited in post or what

was just thinking about it the other day - it is very much a lib’s interpretation of radicalism/anarchism/revolution, in that it’s portrayed as being ultimately ineffective and driven by great men rather than a mass movement; and is focused on optics rather than actual praxis, e.g. hacking the banks and ‘deleting’ public debt rather than redistributing wealth, forcing the corporate exec to burn a big pile of money rather than put it to use etc.

literally black mirror

grand prix. big price

it’s all streaming services now, like they all had a meeting and said “let’s just collectively raise prices to optimum cockbag levels”, aka oligopoly

I hope you’re prepared for an unforgettable shitpost!

thinking of naming my child “Lmao” in homage to Lal

got a labour flyer through the letterbox today, turns out that among their candidate’s campaign promises are “stop the boats, end the hotel use for refugees and remove those with no legal right to be here”, which kinda just shows what they’re going for - daily mail readers
it’s been a while since i’ve been canvassed, but i wonder if i could restrain myself from revealing that far from ever being willing to support and vote for right-wingers, I want only to literally pull their heads off as a service to mankind and the world in general

I was thinking recently what it would be like if we replaced all aeroplanes with airships instead; like helium-filled zeppelins. If it meant saving the planet, surely everyone could tolerate a slower journey, after all, people used to spend days and weeks on ships travelling across the world.
The only real obstacle to this is the system’s incessant need to extract as much of everyone’s labour power as possible, not just over the course of a work day, but over their entire lives, meaning that any reduction in speed of travel, for instance, is intolerable, as it results in ‘wasted time’ that is not actively being spent on exploitation.

Scene from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 1, Episode 22, “Symbiosis”, in which Capt. Picard attempts to mediate a trade dispute between the Brekkians, (pictured) who possess large quantities of a valuable medicine called “spice”, and the Ornarans, who are in need of the drug to cure a plague.
