    I’m just personally against musk spam because it’s giving him exactly what he wants, attention.

    If we as a society could all collectively ignore him and his grifts, then in a few years ppl will go, “oh yeah I remember that guy, thank goodness we don’t have to see his face anymore”.






  • No probs! Glad I could help.

    This war has many fronts, and one is who owns and controls our social media platforms. US-capitalists own nearly all of the communications platforms worldwide, and use them to advertise to us, sell us pro-US lies, turn us and our data into products, and forward that data to their government to spy on the world. Reddit is (i think) the 5th most popular site worldwide, so this is one small way I can try to help reverse that trend, and allow people to create their own social media outside of US control.


  • For sure. I’m only just now finishing the first season, and maybe 3 episodes in it should qualify as some of the best films ever made. The acting, the psycological warfare, the poor schlubby wife-guy underdog vs evil rich parasite undertones pervading everything… there’s so much going on, that I’m sure others have scratched the surface of.

    I also love how it inverts the mystery drama by showing you exactly what happened, and the suspense is in guessing where they messed up, and gave enough clues to columbo.

    They seem to be go-fund-me’ing their coup attempts nowadays.

    The only places the US is still having success is in the ME. They even lost their own hemisphere, they can’t even prevent leftists from getting elected in Mexico anymore.





  • I know the answer is propaganda, but it’s astounding to me that so many people still cling to and identify with liberalism.

    This is an ideology that was dealt its theoretical death blows by the late 1800s, when socialists correctly realized that it didn’t fix any of the problems it purported to fix. It didn’t bring liberty, equality, or fraternity, it just replaced feudal lords with industrial capitalists, gave even more power to the latter, and worsened the conditions of everyone living under these liberal regimes.

    And its main ideologues were not subtle about their support for colonialism, the panopticon, prison and police states, unlimited freedom for capitalists, and pro-worker-exploitation.

    It’s just boggling that something so bankrupt and immoral could have such support 100 years after it was shown bare-faced for what it was.
