ProxyTheAwesome,

Yet on the other hand, he says EU should hurry up at expanding and integrate Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and others. He’s pro-NATO, he just thinks the EU should have more of the muscle. Either that or he’s just entirely full of shit.

ProxyTheAwesome,

EU/NATO are vassals and part of the same empire as America/UK. Basically, they’re all the same side. My point is that if you’re against NATO imperialism, this guy isn’t who you’re looking for. He just wants to be a bit less junior of a partner in the empire.

Jokes on him and the EU though, they’re even more junior than ever before and getting further vassalized and de-industrialized and dependent on the USA.

OH NO CHINA MIGHT GET YOUR CAR DATA?!

ProxyTheAwesome,

replace American with Russian/Chinese and you have modern day Reddit accurately described to a T

ProxyTheAwesome,

y’all been taking some Ls lately. If I were Canadian I’d pretend to be American

ProxyTheAwesome,

it’s just very memorable and visceral how it was carried out

ProxyTheAwesome,

yeah nobody knew about assassinations or political killings until Putler invented it in 2002

ProxyTheAwesome,

welcome to monopoly capitalism, the inevitable end stage of free market systems

ProxyTheAwesome,

If it involves “an oligopoly, a cartel, or a monopoly” then it is not a “free market”

Markets unregulated tend towards oligopoly, cartels and monopoly over time. Free market is interchangeable with private autocracy.

ProxyTheAwesome,

The Blob (1988)

ProxyTheAwesome,

How does this make sense? They lose money from giving away free burgers and lose money from leavig Russia. Why would they do this? This is like when George Michael throws a banana away for every dollar he steals from the cash register

ProxyTheAwesome,

A reaction does not imply consciousness. Water reacts when it hits fire by turning into steam and putting out the fire. That doesn’t make the water or the fire conscious.

ProxyTheAwesome,

Adventure Time and Total Recall

ProxyTheAwesome,

Never watched TV shows with your kids? Boomer stoner dad never crossed your mind!

ProxyTheAwesome,

no human face to mediate relations, so we’re all just faceless cars beeping and honking at other faceless cars. Makes it easy to get angry

ProxyTheAwesome,

There’s some countries I visit where I don’t even think about attempting to rent a car, the traffic is just too chaotic and stress inducing. I’d rather pay twice as much for taxis or just walk.

ProxyTheAwesome,

Basically everything around you is not there by happenstance but because of hundreds of years a very specific economic arrangement of society. You would be hard pressed to find anything touched by humans in the last 200 years that doesn’t have capitalist contradictions embedded into it

ProxyTheAwesome,

I’ve been banned from Reddit multiple times for being an outspoken communist

ProxyTheAwesome,

Any opinion left of the democratic party will get you banned as well, don’t be presumptuous

ProxyTheAwesome,

then genzedong, quarantined

at this point all that’s left is true anon and some dead theory subs

ProxyTheAwesome,

Trust me I’ve experienced a lot more reactionaries than you

ProxyTheAwesome,

One of these is not like the other

ProxyTheAwesome,

There’s a difference between quickly suppressing a color revolt that is killing soldiers vs. invasions and coups that kill and displace millions of people. If Tiananmen revolt had spread or succeeded then a LOT more people would have died, and China would now be a western puppet instead of a sovereign nation.

ProxyTheAwesome, (edited )

They killed dozens of unarmed soldiers, hanging them by their necks and immolating their corpses. Many of the deaths were done by the mob and they started the lethal violence. They had hundreds of guns out of nowhere, likely supplied by the CIA. Good riddance to these fascist, west-collaborating “students” and the dupes who followed them.

Liberals always handwring at their enemies suppressing internal problems with unsophisticated violence, but that’s often the only tool these nations have to sustain their own existence. They don’t have sophisticated surveillance deep states with media narrative control, just simple brute force. It’s why Liberals were aghast at “Assad using barrel-bombs on his own population” - the preferred method is to destroy street movements via a complex suite of spying, targeted media narratives, sheepdogging, hidden plain-clothes operatives, targeted assassinations of leadership like how Ferguson and the 2020 riots were handled. Assad had one button to have his nation continue to exist, and it was “drop the barrel bombs on the jihadists hiding in apartment complexes” so he pressed it. That makes him a giant villain to Liberals, despite their own funding of jihadists being the very reason he had to push that button.

China at the time of Tiananmen was an unsophisticated state in its suppression capabilities. It had one button to deal with the revolt and continue to exist. I don’t believe it was a mistake for them to push it. You can contrast this to how the Hong Kong colonialist petty bourgie revolt was squashed, with 0 deaths. China would obviously prefer 0 deaths, they just didn’t have the capabilities at the time.

Where do you fall politically?

I’m hoping this doesn’t start a fight, I’m just curious what the political orientation is of this community. I grew up in a liberal (in the American sense) family, and I identify now as a socialist, though a lot of the liberalism I grew up in has stuck with me, like interest in LGBTQ and women’s rights, environmentalism,...

ProxyTheAwesome,

TBF to old trot, idk if he’s ultra left or a right deviationist because he was such an opportunist that he fluctuated on which side of the opposition he worked with. He just went with whatever side had more leverage opposing Stalin that day.

ProxyTheAwesome,

AmeriKKKans are incapable of realizing the evil is coming from inside the house

ProxyTheAwesome,

That, or Boromir would FUCK THAT MOUSE UP and take the ring for himself

The ring can obviously influence people around the ringbearer and not just the ringbearer themselves, as seen by Boromir and Faramir being tempted by it and Smeagle killing his friend for it.

Hobbits are just very good natured and resistant to the evil influence of the ring, especially Sam it seems

ProxyTheAwesome,

It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing.

ProxyTheAwesome,

The original was “why didn’t the eagles fly to mordor and drop the ring in the top of the volcano” which was funnier the first time than the thousandth time. You’re right that these witty workarounds are only funny the first time and tire quickly.

ProxyTheAwesome,

‘shut up’ lmao

i was expecting something about how the nazguls would intercept or the ring would corrupt them or something

ProxyTheAwesome,

Political memes are memes. sorry you dont like it sweetie

ProxyTheAwesome,

First one is about technology and alienation under a capitalist mode of production, discussing work and leisure. That’s political.

Third one is about dating and advertisements online, which is related to sexual politics and commodification of sex work online. Political.

ProxyTheAwesome,

I don’t think “I don’t like my job” is politically divisive.

This is absolutely a political statement. Your work and conditions are political and can be changed only through seizing control and unionization, both political actions.

ProxyTheAwesome,

A freezer?

ProxyTheAwesome,

Nobody actually hates it, it’s just a joke that’s been dead for 3 decades and beaten into the ground

ProxyTheAwesome,

I actually like the gerontocracy. I think it rules. Let’s see how far we can push it, let’s get a 125 year old president

ProxyTheAwesome,

Why should they retire? They don’t actually do anything. They figure they might as well be there to soak up the corrupt funds instead of some other placeholder.

ProxyTheAwesome,

Go ahead and police people’s thoughts if you insist, but don’t expect to be included by people you willfully offend.

I will, and you can’t exclude me lmao. Deal with it, you have to deal with critiques and disagreements, how terrible for you

ProxyTheAwesome,

These people want a perfect protected treat echo chamber where they can consoom disney shit endlessly without anyone troubling them with “critiques” or “disagreement”

ProxyTheAwesome,

Wow why you yukking Disney’s yum?

ProxyTheAwesome,

I literally don’t care about being an asshole, that’s fine. I can criticize whatever I want

ProxyTheAwesome,

Making up something I’m not doing to get mad about

ProxyTheAwesome,

I don’t think assholishness is necessarily a bad thing, it’s value-neutral. I would simply not be bigoted in my critiques, and bigotry is a separate issue entirely that can be addressed directly, and has nothing to do with the “let people enjoy things” poptimism ethos that pervades much of the internet which I think is disgusting. I dont believe anybody has a “right” to not hear criticisms of their favorite things, and mostly people have an issue with it because they’ve made consumption their identity and feel personally attacked by critiques on what they consume. They need to separate their identity from the commodity, not get mad at the messenger.

ProxyTheAwesome,

trek hasn’t been about any of that shit for at least a couple decades. It’s just star wars with a coat of paint at this point

ProxyTheAwesome,

Fascism has only ever been defeated through violence, not through “changing people’s minds”

ProxyTheAwesome,

Where were those movies made?

soviet-hmm

ProxyTheAwesome,

Where did the funding for those movies come from? Where did that fancy military equipment come from? I wonder if the US military asked for anything in exchange for lending that out?

soviet-hmm

ProxyTheAwesome,

Unless you’re watching indie foreign flicks they were all produced, written and edited in Hollywood, regardless of where they were filmed
