medium sized nose. Though my family is mostly Irish and we all have fairly prominent shnozzes

what did voting third party actually do here other than make you feel good?

I’m in california lol my vote means fuck all, so why should I throw it away for Kamala? You liberals really don’t think too hard about things do you?

Also I dislike the assumption that because I don’t participate in the circus of electoral politics that I am not engaged with actual meaningful political projects year round. It shows an incredible lack of imagination or understanding of how real positive change is actually made and how political power is built. But yeah keep voting for people that hate you hoping that things will somehow get better.

This is a very naive take and calling someone as enthusiastic about genocide as Biden/Kamala “lesser evil” just shows you don’t give a fuck about people in the global south. I voted for the only true harm reduction candidate and that was PSL. Please, respectfully, take one second to think of the people on the other end of the barrel of the gun that is US foreign policy. Or even think about trans people and migrants in the US whom both parties continue to persecute and subjugate. Comments like yours just scream “I’m super privileged and just don’t like this one guy for being so vulgar while doing the same shit as every president before him”.

Republicans shipping jobs overseas

I got news for you buddy. Look up who crafted and championed NAFTA

The overwhelming majority of social ills and mental health issues are directly caused by alienation and exploitation under capitalism. I feel you friend, I am trying to find a new job and I have one month of rent and bills I can pay and then I am gonna be homeless and idk what I am gonna do. My choices are burden my family in ways they are already strained or just going and living on the street and probably never coming back from that. I’m 40 and becoming homeless at this stage of my life might well kill me.

The luddites were right.

Don’t forget privatizing an IP that was only made possible through government funded research. Literally the only “innovation” jobs made was taking a bunch of existing tech and being like, “what if we made a media player that is also a phone with a touch screen”

And don’t get me started on how much I fucking hate touch screens. Whoever decided all cash registers should be touch screen only and took away my 10-key is going to beg for me to kill them once I am done with them.

This is one of my favorites https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX8GeXpw84c

I love the iphone thing because they are literally all manufactured in the most successful socialist country still existing.

How?

Neoliberalism is the guiding ethos of both the Republican and the Democratic parties since at least the 80s. Austerity, deregulation, gutting worker protections and social services. Every single president since Reagan has been a neoliberal of some form.

This is a fucking bonkers take. Nowhere was Putin mentioned. You people have completely lost your grasp of reality.

I did

Did you see what happened when a bunch of libertarians took over their own town? Nobody wanted to pay for or pick up their garbage and their town got overran by bears.

I mean that stuff wouldn’t emerge for the next couple decades, but you can certainly see where the capitalist vampires saw it and went “damn that looks real efficient, bet if we made a privatized version we’d make more money than god”.

Of course as we know it was only so efficient because of its socialized nature which made such supply chains less prone to disruption as the computational power could be used to centrally monitor supply chains between all sorts of different nationalized industries, that could then be allocated in an agile manor so as to minimize any one industry or population running out of materials or basic needs. It was so efficient materials could even be reallocated mid route. It was a really sophisticated system and could serve as a blueprint for large scale socialized economies.

It’s great, it goes further into how post coup the nascent proto-neolib ghouls went down to examine cybersyn and essentially stole the whole idea behind it which eventually became the model for just in time supply chains at places like amazon and walmart. Oh what could have been.

I don’t care that you have only a flimsy grasp of Marxism at best, or are a bad faith troll, we get those all the time. You’re not even fun just repetitive and boring. I would ban you just for being a smug little shit.
