  • They should be. That’s the point. They’ve ignored us for decades because the propaganda worked.

    “Violence is never the answer”

    Well historically, that’s a blatant lie. And Luigi woke us all up to that fact. People can argue that the 3.5% rule here applies. But if it does its closer to 35%.

    Spades are broke. Die is cast. Can’t put the Genie back in the bottle. Can’t put the cat back in the bag. “Terrorism” charges don’t scare us. Their finger wagging doesn’t move us. We can see the truth now. And there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.







  • It’s money first and foremost. People are struggling to survive by themselves. They can’t afford kids. So conservatives get rid of abortion. They frame it as a religious issue, but it’s only such for their ignorant followers. For those monied individuals at the top its purely about having an ever growing slave caste to exploit. Can’t have infinitely growing profits without an infinitely growing base of suckers to sell shit to.

    It’s also about freedom. Self determination. And the general state of the world. Nothing of substance is being done about climate change. We’re staring down the barrel of WWIII. Late Stage capitalism.

    It’s a confluence of factors that taken together paint a particularly bleak future.













  • Crime. Corruption. Spending a few hundred million on tax lawyers.

    We need to raise corporate taxes back to 90%. Before yall get your nuts all twisted. They could write off most of that back in the day by raising wages and reinvesting into the company to grow it.

    THAT is what built the industrial juggernaut that won the Cold War. That was the main cause. It’s what made the US economy so indomitable.

    Nowadays they pay a pittance and reinvest nothing. They stagnate wage growth. And that’s why we’ve been stuck in this boom bust cycle for decades.
