It was meant to illustrate the dangers of unchecked capitalism.
I mean, yeah, but also no. It was anti-land lord and was advocating Georgism and a land value tax. Georgism includes corporations as victims to land lord hoarding and doesn’t criticize capitalism, per se.

Yeah, Thunberg was definitely arrested in America. Just, uh, don’t google it.
Cops can be amenable with enough controls, sure, but they ultimately serve capital, man.

The fact that swating still happens just proves how much of a joke policing is in general. The fact that you can get a bunch of gun-wielding adrenaline junkies to show up somewhere, frothing at the mouth for violence, in the most spurious of ways is a damning indictment for the whole institution.

Irrelevant, defeatist, and shitting on people what did nothing wrong. Go sit in the corner. Think about what you’ve done.

Yeah, wonder why the CIA leaves the violent extremists alone when it continually targets the ma and pa movements, instead?
Almost like one of those is a true threat to the world order and the other is just a different coat of paint. But don’t think about it too much, might lose your tankie cred

The round earth viewpoint is very boring to discuss. It is round, obviously, but anything fun about that feels like math to talk about. A myth about a flat earth feels mystical and like you’re in a secret group. There’s an appeal in believing something that skeptics have a hard time understanding. I know, I’ve been both in my life, and the struggle is real. (Never a flat earther, though)

- Comment on Baba Yaga 1 month ago:
Hobbits have an easier time resisting the pull, because their ambitions don’t pair well with the ring’s temptations. I suspect that Sméagol already had simmering beef with Déagol (cause, ya know, family), so it didn’t take much for the ring to push him over the edge.
But also the circumstances of how you claim the ring come into play with how deep it can dig into you. Déagol found it by following a shiny, and seeing how jealous it made Sméagol made it more valuable. Sméagol murdered his cousin for it. Bilbo came upon it by chance in the pitch black caves. (He even struggles with the temptation by touching it in his pocket from then on) And Frodo inherited it, knowing it to be Bilbo’s prank ring. Lastly, Sam took up the ring to save Frodo
Bilbo also gave it up willingly, though he did need to be convinced. Sam knew what the ring would be about and was able to steel himself against it. Plus its attempt to seduce was almost laughably bad, but he earnestly just really fucking loved gardening (tempted him with being a hero and claiming the land as his vast, beautiful garden. Sam thought it would be too stressful and would get between him and his gardening)

Chainmail looks like it was grown together. That’s artifacting from the denoising formula that makes image generation possible. Plus, all of that has that greasy smear feeling to it

Chainmail near the Vambrace and helmet is fucked. Holes in the face mask is not symmetrical. The helmet is too short for a head to be in

That’s cause it’s been color corrected to remove the harsh lighting.
How your brain looked at the bright ass room and decided to look at the dress like it was dimly lit still makes no sense to me, but this is why people called those seeing white and gold as crazy.

Whatever term you come up with, conservative think tanks will immediately poison. Trying to twist yourself in knots to find the perfect way to express the idea is just failing to understand that the issue is that those who benefit from these systems at the highest levels have every incentive to keep things as they are. They can and will use their captive audience to fuck with any explanation you try to give that’s contrary to the system as it exists today. The only concessions they will give will only be to get enough people to pack it in since “we won”. And those will only be temporary.
- Comment on How possibly? 2 months ago:
Yes, the term intersectionality was invented here in the states. Conservatives have already poisoned the term and made it into “the oppression Olympics”, rather than what it actually is, a framing device to explain that life is different for a black man and a black woman or for a black woman with a disability.
Cause that’s the real problem here. US has a high-powered counter-propaganda movement called The Chicago Institute & Friends (Conservative Think Tanks). Any term you come up with to explain how our world is fucked up will be subsumed by conservative think tanks into the worst idea imaginable.
Open borders? You mean letting in criminals by the boatload, rather than a measured response to the harms of immigration quotas.
15 minute cities? You mean communist lockdowns, preventing the free movement of people and ideas. Instead of what it actually is, designing urban spaces to accommodate the people that live there instead of devoting every square foot to car dominance.
White privilege? You mean demonizing people for the color of their skin, exactly what MLK didn’t want to happen. Instead of what it actually is, a framing device to show white people that there is more going on in this country than just what directly impacts them.
The fact of the matter is that “the left” (big tent, from liberal to anarchist) doesn’t have a messaging problem, it’s that the opposition has a lot of funding and influence to drown out whatever point the left is attempting to make.
