Eldritch

And a T-shirt cannon to do it with.

I hope there’s images. This man should be celebrated. I’m down for merch

Yep, Kansas city is sliced through the center like a pie. St Louis is a different kind of gerrymandered as well.

There’s a lot of lead pipes here still. And massive swaths of empty land that votes against anyone that might try to maintain or replace them via the necessary step of raising taxes.

Kansas city and St Louis didn’t vote for Republicans. Unfortunately both blue patches aren’t quite half the States population. But were close enough that there governor is looking to take away our representation.

Oh I have no issues with it being relevant in the same sense the Z80 68k or 6502 still being relevant. Just not part of a controlling duopoly.

Or, what if it just became irrelevant. It’s had a great run. But honestly ARM has shown plenty of versatility and power. While being licensable unlike x86. And things like riscv have similar of not better potential.

Not at all. To be clear I don’t think federal or state government should exist. However this is America. We don’t guarantee anyone a job or right to continue existing in general. Though we should considering the constitution sort of implies we should. Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness all that.

Overstepping would have been forcefully vaccinating them without consent. Those that had legitimate reasons not to get vaccinated were exempted. Those that couldn’t meet the job requirements, or actively wanted to work to sabotage leaderships goals. Could have just been let go. But were still compensated. More than most people would get.

The government did not overstep. We hand one the most muted and incompetent responses of any government in a wealthy industrialized nation. Trump and his fascists literally did everything they could to accelerate it. That and we americans are so selfish and arrogant. That we did not listen when the government finally started pushing out good policy under the Biden administration. Who barely did anything above and beyond the bare minimum.

Wow this is a terrifyingly uninformed take. So much so that in the old days I would have assumed that it was satire.

Covid 19 is well understood to have massive cardiovascular impacts. But i’m sure it cannot be the obvious and well documented thing. Surely it must be the thing you don’t like, and have been indoctrinated without evidence to hate.

We have a bichon poodle mix. One of the smartest best behaved dogs we’ve ever had.

Politics are about control. When fascists are in charge. Everything is politics

If you ever have to give a Dern. Let it be Bruce. One of the best Dern actors there is.

I was literally asking questions about your reasons and stance. Hence the use of the squiggly little punctuation known as a question mark. But predictably, you have no answers. And worse, squealing like being questioned is some sort of personal attack.

So tell us “communist” if unions are that problematic. They aren’t, but let’s pretend. What is your incorruptible unit of representation? What is your strategy to reduce corruption? Surely you must have something. Surely you weren’t participating in a traditional capitalist smear against historic institutions of the left.

Seriously, the way I’ve seen you personally gatekeep other people’s political ideology. While being so ludicrously ill prepared with your own claimed ideology. It’s hilarious. The way you claim to be a communist and then turned immediately around to attack communist as wanting to destroy Society. It’s peak lack of self-awareness.

No, it replaces what’s currently at the top with a trade union.

Something where people vote for their leaders. It would be the same as we have now almost immediately.

Even if it did it would literally be better than what we have now. But no that’s incorrect. It’s literally about doing away with what is considered the top. And replacing it with local answerable flat representation. Using the power of labor and the Unions to achieve that for Syndicalists. Or by other means for the other subset of anarchists, direct action etc.

Are you even in a union?

SEIU, mother was with the teamsters and my father with the pipelines.

Do you have any idea how they work or how often corrupt assholes get leadership positions for the sole purpose of personally enriching themselves?

Yes, and? So are you advocating to abolish unions just like the capitalists? Not even the nutty Leninist do that. They just rig things to get their puppets in place. Corruption can happen anywhere, with anyone. Corruption isn’t an inherent feature of unions.

Like, I know I just said that I’m aware I underestimate others but…

C’mon man, you legitimately don’t understand how that would result in a system identical to any other party based political system?

You don’t understand how fast they’d throw their origins out the window?

You don’t underestimate others. You far overestimate yourself. The whole point of anarchism. From the most extreme to the most milquetoast. Is literally doing away with those unanswerable hierarchy protected leaders. Flat, local, minimal governance of the consenting. Nothing more, nothing less.

It’s got nothing to do with your other straw man of destroying society. Nothing at all. It’s about not having a fascistic national federal government forcing their whims down your throat through a monopoly on violence. It’s about some shit head governor who’s never been to your town and doesn’t give a shit about your town not being able to do the same to your town. It’s about those who actually use the means of production having a say on them. It’s about you and your neighbors deciding the rules you live by. And not someone that you have no say in at the state or federal level.

If you actually were a communist, you’d understand this. Especially if you were anti-authoritarian. Most anti-authoritarian communist realistically are going to tend to align anarcho communist. The sad thing is though. I think you are actually capable of understanding this. But contrary to the username you’ve chosen you actually just don’t give a shit.

Claims to be a communist, but has no clue about anarchists. Many of whom are actual communist/Marxist. Sure buddy, you’re a super mega communist.

Anarcho-syndicalism advocates for a society without hierarchical structures, achieved through the power of worker-led trade unions BTW.

Oh yes that old capitalist Chestnut smearing the ludites. Very communist of you. Do you know who the Luddites were? How based they were? Do you understand how badly we actually need luddites right now?

You would really do yourself a service, not by reading dense tomes of theory. But by reading a few freaking basic paragraphs of description on a Wikipedia page.

Gibby doesn’t do drugs. Drugs do Gibby. .

In the era of global fascism, satire is dead. These aren’t bad ideas when you don’t care about anything passed your self image, and no one that matters will stand up to you.

I will have to see if they’re upon max or whatever it’s called now. I no longer have a cable subscription or any way to watch it like that.

They should know by now what a target rich environment for rubes they are. They should, but they don’t. That’s what makes them such good targets.

I haven’t seen any of the episodes in the years. But considering the creator of the show is French. If there ever was going to be one, it would be his lol.
