I side with the rioters because rioting creates a capital cost that can not be ignored. Peaceful protests can be ignored and are ignored. Smash windows and burn buildings. After the riot capital has to respond. It’s juvenile to suggest political change can happen with none of the advocates harmed. That’s a fantasy. Revolutions are messy that’s the reality.

Correct: Americans are normally obese.

People aren’t having kids. Without kids who will play the video-games?

- Comment on Bill Gates: People saying AI will create more jobs don’t understand what’s coming 2 weeks ago:
I’m hesitant to comment because this topic can become morose. I don’t think these commentators are talking about ChatGPT or whatever dibbles out into the consumer sphere. I think their concern is the extreme dis-balance of wealth and the ability for automated systems to exacerbate that. It’s not really about capital as capital is a form of control on labour; what if you removed capital entirely as you had a more effective mechanism of control? This isn’t about computers writing your assignments or ‘taking your job’, it’s a potential magnification of what technology innately does, but to an absurd degree. Technology allows for fewer men control more. What happens when a small group of individuals control a nation’s economy?
‘AI’ was used to elect Trump.
- Comment on UK train operator nationalised by government after 30 years of privatisation 4 weeks ago:
Much destruction and waste for… nothing. Can everyone agree that neoliberalism was a grift that now needs to end? (I already see one commenter defending it as something else.) I don’t live in the U.K., but I’ve heard of councils turning streetlights off and reducing their services because they have ‘no money’. From the outside looking in it looks bleak.

Probably because it’s toxic, hostile environment solely designed for machines…

Personal experience with the Christian-cult: mentally-ill individuals who refuse medical help corralled by narcissistic abusers. Being mentally-ill they make disastrous life-decisions creating hell-on-earth for their progeny. You people are clowns. My disdain for you can not be overstated. Your pastas are narcissists. Stop re-reading the same book that’s been repeatedly translated through the eons into different languages–with more edits than any Wikipedia article–hoping you’ll find an esoteric cure to soothe your self-loathing. You won’t. Leave your cult. Find medical help.
From the outside it appears these people are walking contradictions: they’re the most hateful people you’ll meet, yet they preach goodness to all men. Once religion was decoupled from the state it became a voluntary institution. The cults of Christianity attract self-loathing individuals who feel they need an external structure to keep them in line. That’s why you find so many pedophiles in these cults. They’re mentally ill.
Cults should be taxed. Doomsday-cults with a sole focus on expansion (like the cults of Christianity) should be disbanded by force. Healthcare is a human right. States should be providing appropriate care for the mentally-ill. Education is a human right too and cults are a road-block for the state’s pursuit of universal education.
A daily reminder for Australian comrades: Sanitarium is the for profit arm of a doomsday-cult. Do not fund them through the purchase of their products. Do not buy Weet-Bix™, Up & Go™, etc… Advocate for cults to be taxed.
Cults have flourished here. They’re dangerous and degenerative to society. theguardian.com/…/the-family-great-white-brotherh…
From their flock are selected the most deranged for political office. From their financing we get absolute mongrels in politics, like the insipid Scott Morrison: holder of every privilege, but never accountable. Shirking every responsibility placed on him. He would not hold a hose if you were on fire. He’d watch you burn; he’d do everything to not do anything whilst sending thoughts and prayers; he’d then go on a holiday and bill the tax-payer for it and removed that people didn’t want to shake his hand.
It’s time to put a stop to all these demented cults. Never entertain them.

Consume the ads like a good corpo-drone. Lobby the unicode consortium to have your emoji added/removed because you have no control over your computer; you have no property. Drone does what the computer says to do. Consume ads. Beep bop.
