Without the Communist Party, there would have been no New China

Do we have to call it an “artificial sun”? Because that’s… weirdly sinister.

nah that sounds cool too

no “p-please activate windows” watermark in the bottom right indicating piracy

it’s so over

Really? I got like a really crappy clip one for 5 bucks once. I forget where. They held like 3 gigs of music and the interface was annoying but it was very easy to add and remove music/audiobooks between gym sessions. I wish I remember where. It wasn’t on amazon. I think I might have walked into some kind of tech brick and mortar place before it closed down forever during Covid. It was very convenient for running

to be fair when I had an iphone about 10 years ago (a mistake I’ll never make again) I was incredibly frustrated with needing to use itunes to dump my pirated MP3 files into the phone. Just let the phone work like a USB device dammit so I can load all my media onto it. Don’t make me use proprietary software and I won’t consider a second device.

Also having a tiny thumbnail sized MP3 player that like clips to my belt or whatever is much more convenient in a gym setting than sweating all over my brick sized phone as it clunks around in my gym shorts

a better world is possible

just don’t ask me if it’s probable

that would require society to not be a class dictatorship of the bourgeoisie

dual boot?

it’s an apt metaphor, because the last time dialup was relevant is the last time he had a coherent thought

beer brew here, ooh earth rider

Who do you think Reddit got that recipe from? Reddit’s mom is Karen.

reddit is dogshit for politics and just regurgitates imperial core hegemonic opinions for the most part

The enormous destruction of machinery that occurred in the English manufacturing districts during the first 15 years of this century, chiefly caused by the employment of the power-loom, and known as the Luddite movement, gave the anti-Jacobin governments of a Sidmouth, a Castlereagh, and the like, a pretext for the most reactionary and forcible measures. It took both time and experience before the workpeople learnt to distinguish between machinery and its employment by capital, and to direct their attacks, not against the material instruments of production, but against the mode in which they are used.

TL;DR We shouldn’t destroy the machines, we should seize them from the ruling class.

Other injured ants will even fight off their would-be rescuers if they are so wounded that they will not recover

Also that lib was full of shit. Steam has never actually banned racists, no matter how many times they’re reported.

thousands of remote IT workers sent wages to North Korea to help fund weapons program.

the nation we bombed to smithereens and embargoed for 73 years needs to seek extra-legal means of securing a national revenue. One of the forms this took was doing real labor generating surplus value for the American bourgeoisie and then sending their pittance wages back to the DPRK. We will use this as propaganda against them to justify hurting them even more. We are the baddies!

ah yes, the wolfsangel… about that…

Your whole woke thing is over. Trump will take 2024 and then normalcy will return.

Oh wow, you mean the ICE camps will open back up? Oh wait, Biden never closed them. What exactly are you threatening us with? Replacing one senile racist with another?

or by using the market by short-selling, using hedge funds, trading through illegal offshore numbered accounts, derivatives, etc.

Which is also just stealing surplus value by proxy, since return on investment is simply a share of the company’s profits, which is itself just surplus value, or unpaid labor.
