The two groups of people most able to reject measurable facts of reality remain: the small business owners and the people who aspire to be them-because it is a requirement to gain and retain that position. But the proletarianization will continue to be forced onto you. What existed is gone forever.

It really is amazing how this country is doing a controlled demolition of itself because car dealership guys couldn't say slurs out loud for like 10 years, and liberals had to deal with their kids getting septum piercings.

Another random science thread: did you know plate tectonics isn't the only planetary tectonic regime capable of sustaining life?
In fact, life appeared on Earth about a billion years before plate tectonics began!
So, what was it doing before? Well, the predominant theory is this: Drip-and-Plume!

mainstream liberal parties like the democrats are partners to their conservative colleagues in maintaining a misogynist/white supremacist system, & it is always odd when you see criticism of that system misread as what it is actually criticizing. it is 'mediocre white man' to not love chuck schumer

A few years ago I had a partner who was a former roboticist. Through her I became acutely aware of how much of public-facing robotics is now is pure theatrical smoke and mirrors horseshit intended to dupe credulous tech press and VCs.

The chromebook might be the worst invention that doesn't contain any major poisons. We made a laptop that you can only watch youtube videos on and if you touch it you have to go the burn ward. Every five year old has to have one

what is Trump's approval rating among people whose authority to perform violence on behalf of government official is yet to be questioned by any sitting member of the opposition party, while the judiciary debates turning hundreds of millions disenfranchised, stateless targets for arbitrary violence?

the most complex and advanced factories contradict bourgeois ideology about social development. without the USSR as a threat to force them to act competently—rule one of bitdizzy thought—western burgoids invented neoliberalism & forgot how industrialized digital economies invest in their own future.

Every day i see the news out of america and wonder if you guys will ever understand that you havent lived in a democracy your whole lives. Decisions are made for one of two reasons there; the owning class has decided it (99.9%) or a concession was given because they were breifly afraid of you (.1%)

The thing about useful idiots in professional spaces is that the whole game, from the perspective of the fascist, is to constantly game them into taking ”innocuous” positions on any given day’s culture war issue, thus forcing them to perpetually conflict with everything left of the fascists.
