We could just revolt

Weird how those “unrealized gains” are never real enough to tax, but are always real enough to use as collateral for more cheap capital.

Always Remember: you don’t hate Ronald Reagan enough

Why? Because the alternative will lead to people watching their loved ones get hurt or die. People are used to a peaceful existence for the most part, and particularly in the US, food and medicine being regularly available.

If we have to shoot our way out, many will pay a grave cost. I’m not saying it’s not a potential outcome, and if it comes to that, it is what it is, but I don’t blame people for wanting to find any alternative that doesn’t involve the complete social collapse of a civilization.

Why would you overpay just so you could be thrown in a concentration camp by the orange pig’s personal goonsquad.

S+ tier pun

Funnily enough, I’m one of the few Americans that gets socialized healthcare because I served in the Navy.

I’ve been pushing for everyone to get it over here

“It’s because you are fat”

“That will be $5900”.

Here a neat fact: Palo Verde, a nuclear power station in Arizona that generates so much power that it is the 2nd largest power plant in the United States is cooled entitrely by the treated waste water from Phoenix.

This is to illustrate that Data centers can be designed to be environmentally friendly, its just the greedy corpo pigshit that demands they suck drinking water out of water tables to power AI that nobody wants.

It was the boomers who sold us out to Ronnie Rayguns and the Heritage pricks, then beat compliance into us.

Its a slow process, but people are coming around.

Its nearly time for a general strike

Because the party itself is broken.

Democrats have a leadership problem, in that there needs to be a full purge and replacement to clear out the institutional rot. The backlash the establishment dems have gotten is on full display with Platner, in that Mainers ignored what the party wanted and voted on principal.

No more “paying your dues to the party” no more “change takes time, guys” no more “vote blue no matter who”. That thinking has let that orange sack of facist pigshit rape our country and its institutions.

And Schumer and the dems folded at EVERY JUNCTURE when faced with the fact that they actually have to do something to stop Trump.

Tl:Dr - The Democrats in charge had their chance to fix this years ago, but they chose institutions over people, and now they are paying the piper.

Which is precisely why people who think like you will never hold real power. You need to convince people your ideas are good, because its people that ultimately make things happen.

Your ideas sound like a good way to get people I don’t want in my business permanently fucking with me. Your ideas are all academia, no humanity. All theory, no pragmatism.

“Human rights is bourgeoise propaganda”

-Tolc

Sounds like you need less lenin and more John Locke.

Han rights being propaganda is certainly a take. None of what you said mentioned any mechanism of accountability for this “vanguard”. Who gets to be said vanguard? How will this not just end with another set of elites (relabeled " party loyalists") and another set of workers suffering from the extreme wealth inequality brought about? This just sets the stage for another revolution with all the death and destruction the follows.

I have found that the people who wish for this path the most are the least capable at building and creating, leaving them an awful choice to rebuild a society after a civil conflict.

What if someone wanted to leave this " socialist paradise"? Do they have that ability or will this “vanguard” stop them?

Who gets to determine who is an enemy of the revolution and who isn’t? This has historically let to some issues. Also, what mechanism keeps them accountable to protect human rights?

All of this completely violates the sovereignty that each individual holds over themselves, but for the sake of argument.

Just pointing out reality

Best of luck, you are gonna need it.

I guess we are just going to have to fight about it then
