- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 2 weeks ago:
… Unless you’re going to tell me her campaign was somehow unaware of this fairly widely published IMEU poll.
They were in a bubble of other blue-no-matter-who media and were assured by the consultants from Clinton’s campaign and the Labour Party that they could ignore those polls.
So really, it would have taken a big enough push from the public that MSNBC became anti-genocide. Hypothetically it could have happened, but the Democratic base is too disorganized to pull that kind of bottom-up messaging coup off.

If Democrats knew they’d lose for supporting genocide,.they wouldn’t have done it. It’s precisely because blue-no-matter-who voters convinced them that they were invincible that they ended up losing. They thought they could bully the base into voting for them because enough of the base was willing to be bullied and proud of it.
On the other side, Trump is more likely to lose the war on Palestine.

Technically you can grow them with corn, but the US doesn’t do companion planting so 🤷♀️
- Comment on Stop Wasting Pumpkins! 3 weeks ago:
Pumpkins are pretty low on my priority list, but entertainment isn’t really a good reason to throw useful stuff away. It’s a waste of water, waste of growing space, waste of fuel for harvest and transportation, and obviously a waste of food.
- Comment on Stop Wasting Pumpkins! 3 weeks ago:
It’s still waste even if the primary purpose is wasteful.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 3 weeks ago:
For corporations, yes. Profits are always the money left after expenses that are taken as surplus. I suppose there’s also cooperatives, which redistribute the profits to the member-owners.
But profits are for the owners. That’s how private property works?

And rarely peaceful.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 3 weeks ago:
Profits by definition only go to the owners and investors. Once they’re seized by the government they’re no longer profits, they’re company expenses.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 4 weeks ago:
As long as they’re generating profits then that wealth will not go to the people who lose their jobs. They’ll just be a surplus population.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 4 weeks ago:
The ideal corporation has no labor and only profits. Somehow.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 4 weeks ago:
Because of the devastating year for layoffs.
The purpose of a system is what it does.

- Comment on Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed? 4 weeks ago:
The really interesting thing about Harris is so much of her support comes from people who hate Trump and want to stop him at all costs. There’s this large contingent of voters who have never voted for a candidate they like, they’ve only ever voted strategically to stop the candidate they hate. “Democracy”

Yeah, you need to take specific portions of the book to support your argument. I won’t just say “read Fanon” but will give a a specific example from the book in addition to the more general example of the entire work, plus encourage them to read more.
