Yeah, gently caress the concept of solidarity, let's embrace the fact that American "left" is just a branch of libertarianism, because Americans have been terminally poisoned with individualism.

I wonder how many of the "I am not accountable for anything, society doesn't exist, vote Ron Paul 420" assholes also posted about how much they miss the USSR. What a loving disgrace.

ok, continue to use the productive capacity that generates enough food for them to eat to continue feeding them, preferably with means of production within their control, and also redistribute other technology that would ease their living conditions (such as access to healthcare, including but most certainly not limited to birth control) and watch as your implied bullshit malthusian endgame doesn't actually happen

see, the actual steps needed are more difficult than just "air drop over-produced foodstuffs on top of starving people".

I'm fairly confident the 1% has enough surplus gas, planes and money to literally airdrop enough food to feed most of the world's hungry.

More if we include the 1% in the food dropped.

They do, many times over. Besides which it isn't even about liquid assets it is about they get to decide what is done with all the production and surplus so they direct societal resources towards "I get 10 mansions and 5 yachts and 2 private jets lol I am smart" instead of things that would benefit everyone.

I agree, the jews that tried to leave nazi germany were cowards, repulsing the saint louis was the right choice as it punished those lazy, selfish bastards for not fighting

Yeah Trumpism is literally identical to holocaust era Nazism.

Spoiler alert the people who should have stood up and fought were the Germans not the disenfranchised targeted minority.

If you think the majority of people in this thread talking about fleeing the US are disenfranchised minorities lol.

The latest super cool thing they're doing at work to try to maximize is make people in my role work twice as much area but also if the operations manager thinks we aren't working hard enough we get written up for it, including taking a quick breather.

We are talking about Zentrum voting Aryans moving to Zurich to start working for an insurance company in 1931 because German politics got scary and they don't feel it would be appropriate for them to ally with the equally scary socialist radicals, or to aid people who are in danger. And who left the Jews to fight for their own way out on overcrowded boats.

BTW, you are a mega rear end in a top hat if you compare yourself to Holocaust refugees.

I went on holiday for a few days and came back to like 6 pages of people arguing about the stupidest poo poo. Post pictures of capitalism.

It's Christmas season (and it's only the start of November) so here are some really great gift ideas that you can buy for others because you're compelled to.

Let's start with something everyone loves, hotdogs. Cousin Jim loves hotdogs, right? You don't really know to be honest, you haven't actually had a meaningful conversation with him since you were kids because you, like cousin Jim and everyone else you know, have bought into the neoliberal fantasy of self reliance and individualism and so you've neglected to maintain any relationships with your family. But anyway, how about this toaster specifically for hot dogs? You're pretty sure Jim loves hotdogs.


Now what about Uncle Barry? All you know about Uncle Barry now is that he's in his late 50s and works a desk job for an insurance company. How about a tacky desk ornament to distract him his meaningless, mid-level corporate existence? Barry used to take you fishing when you were a kid, so the fish should make him happy, right? And it plugs right into the USB port, isn't that cool?


Uncle Barry isn't the only one who hates his life under capitalism but doesn't know how to adequately express or conceptualise the problem! Aunty Marge drinks excessively to cope with the drudgery of her existence. How about some novelty wine glasses for her? You realise after you've bought them that the LEDs and batteries mean she can't put them in the dishwasher and so probably won't use them much. Ah well, it's the thought that counts, right?


That's about it, if you have any other ideas for great gifts please post them!
