I think that’s probably the right course. We are forced to work with what we got and you can’t abandon the people that are here. But I think it’s important to be mindful that compromising will only get you so far. It will never take you all the way.

Well one of the ways we can liberate our minds is to get off mainstream social media. So kudos to us for doing that.

I think the next steps is to create the conditions for revolution to be successful. The no 1 thing I think is to BUILD COMMUNITY. I have been volunteering at free clinics for the last few years. I try to have gatherings when I can. Then The next most important thing is to organize, so join an organization that offers something that fits. I recently was offered a job at a coop. I’ve attended some DSA events, trying to figure out a way to fit more of that in my life. The next most important thing is to build your independence from big tech. So get off their services as much as you can.

You’re right, were not ready to take to the streets, even tho that is the real thing that needs to happen. So we as individuals can help build our independence, organize and believe in community. We can get there, it’ll take a long time, but just because it seems like a big task doesn’t mean we can’t get there eventually.

Hey man there’s other ways to get their dick out of your ass. Lenin, Fidel and Mao figured it out.

Hey man you can try to compromise withthis system your whole life, it’s not going to get better.

Once you realize that, the next conclusion is obvious.

Ok well let’s take healthcare for example. If you compromise with capitalism, you can’t eliminate insurance companies. Even tho socialized medicine has proven to be a better model for decades, compromise with capitalism got us Obamacare which is technically better than the previous model but it didn’t make anything cheaper and it was prone to subsequent administrations gutting it.

Or compromising with the military industrial complex, means we still build weapons and fight wars and fund genocides. What exactly can the compromise be?

You can go through multiple industries and you’ll find that as soon as you say “someone still needs to profit” then the game is over. Whatever you were trying to fix suddenly becomes secondary to profit.

So should I delete all my stuff on meta platforms?

Onion has been getting me for almost 20 years now

Things will get worse either really fast or kinda slowly but nothing will get better.

Did anyone actually clean their mice like this?

Ok we do have to compromise, but the compromises are what got us into this mess in the first place. Like you can’t compromise with capitalism because the compromise was either genocide really fast or slower genocide. Sometimes the compromise will get you nowhere.

I started using Linux last week. And now I’m looking at your memes!

Elections are in some way a validation of the system. The elites point to the election any time someone complains about some policy. The entire system has been consistently getting worse regardless of who is in power for at least 30+ years. The only way we have to express our displeasure is to vote out the incumbent. I’m confident that even if Kamala had won, things would have gotten worse. Maybe they would be worse at a slower rate, but they would be worse. We need to see beyond electoral politics. Every time you vote, you are granting the rich permission to continue to fuck you regardless of who you voted for.

Yeah they’re run flats.

As a bmw owner, it is complete horseshit that they don’t let you change your own tires. I had to pay $400 to change the tire after getting a flat.

I’m just not going to buy AR glasses.

You’re going to be constipated

We always vote for a slow death instead of a fast one.

Tell them I hate them

How did you nail this so hard?

TIL that I’m a programmer
