Happy Veterans Day to the future veterans of the second American civil war

FYI you can’t have a democracy and have this. If a handful of people own everything, they are never going to allow you to vote away their control.

If you think the party that just caved right after the elections (what a coincidence) is going to turn this country into a progressive democracy if and when they get power back, you haven’t been paying attention.

I was skimming through a debate between a leftist and a liberal in which the leftist asked, “If the Democrats were secretly on Trump’s side, what would they have done differently over the past year?”

If we can’t come up with a long list of obvious answers then that is a serious problem, isn’t it?

If you’re not a billionaire and you’re arguing that it’s actually good for the rest of us that those few at the top get to own everything, well… There’s just no polite way to tell you that you’ve been brainwashed.

We must recognize the root problem before we can make any attempt to solve it.

If this administration can serve any purpose, it is to finally make it blatantly obvious that this country is built on lies. All they do is lie. They lie to keep you complacent, they lie to keep you working and spending, and they lie to take us to war.
We must stop falling for it.

Forget about nations and borders for a moment and recognize that there is only the ruling class and everyone else.

If you don’t think these will soon be armed, you are delusional.

A good summary of what is happening at Meta. Couldn’t be more of a joke considering AI is the epitome of duplicated content.

The media is complicit. That includes social media.

The prophets from many different traditions have taught that we should love even our enemies. But I've never heard any of them instruct us to love systems of oppression, nor the brainwashing ideologies that sustain them.

Sure, but capitalism still outperforms socialism at expanding the wealth gap, overthrowing democracies, exploiting workers and human trafficking.

The fact that Mamdani is seen as such a radical says a lot more about how far right the Democrat party has shifted than it does about him. None of the policies he has proposed so far would be seen as unusual or unacceptable even among center right parties in Europe.
November 6, 2025 at 6:22 PM
It’s no wonder that a country that thinks Dick Cheney is a champion of democracy thinks a center left moderate like Mamdani is a far left radical
November 6, 2025 at 12:53 PM
Mamdani is better than the alternative, but a reformist imperialist is still an imperialist. We’d all love food aid and public transportation and affordable child care. But if we’re only going to get those things living in a Zionist police state invading Venezuela then we’ve got a long way to go.

No one would accept this system if we hadn’t been born into it and propagandized from birth.

This isn’t “human nature.” This is a brainwashing of the masses. Because without our belief, the people that run our lives become regular people again, just like us.

There is only the ruling class and the rest of us, and they will do ANYTHING to keep it that way

It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding;
And to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive is joy greater than giving.

If they’re going to hit us in our pockets then it’s time we hit back.

Stumbled into a debate among liberals over whether a war with Venezuela was going to be an effective response to our drug problems.
So… You’re just gonna accept the stated purpose for war? As if fascists have good intentions but they’re misinformed?

No wonder there’s no resistance in this country.

Everyone prefers non-violence. We’d all love to live in that world. But here’s a question: If we knew that oppressor was planning to be violent toward us - if you could read about it ahead of time - would we still wait around to let them get all of their pieces into place rather than act?

When you went to school, I’ll bet you were taught that communists want to take all of your rights away.
It was projection, of course. Those that have taken your freedoms from you have always been the capitalists right here at home.
