Marxist-Leninist but willing to buddy up with Progressives.
Wants Oregon, or any state, to secede from the American Union to preserve rights. Never found a time where America was great.
They’ve completely thought this through to their conclusion already. We’re the ones who haven’t.
I think a lot of people are realizing that the richest of humanity is up to some evil shit. A great many people also listened to what these people have said and are incredibly disturbed. You are not alone, I am not alone, and this entire sub is not alone. I think the first steps to take are:
The free market is generally pretty good at allocating scarce resources
I disagree. Heavily. This may be based on my own experiences, but reading about how Capitalism reaches a point of overaccumulation only to collapse, wherein people cannot work, makes sense, and is the reason this year is so gruesome. I have read about how grocery stores will get rid of food simply because they overproduce and then don’t have enough to give out. You should do some reading on the Great Depression and unemployment. The simple question of “why can’t people work even if they really want to?” has much less to do with government intervention and much more to do with the intrinsic parts of Capitalist production.
This is quite long so I have provided links.
Welcome to the club.
You’ve made a potential error in underestimating just how horrible some peoples’ lives are and how filled with hatred they are over that fact.
What fact? People’s lives are horrible BECAUSE of ICE. They’re so horrible that I considered that nobody would be “on the fence” because either you drank the Fear-Of-Crime Kool-Aid or you are horrified at what ICE agents are doing to children and poor people. The entire reason there are people who don’t think ICE needs to be abolished right now is because Fox News and other right-wing grifters have pumped out propaganda making it look like there is a “crime wave” like it’s the Reagan Era, and people living in the Suburbs not knowing what the outside world is like. Not only do they choose to portray a crime wave, they have to do it, because otherwise people would see their president as the power-hungry maniac he is rather than a savior of order. No riot is actually making people miserable, only the police-reported, sensationalist coverage of protests.
This is really what drives so much of politics in the world–disgruntled people with no future who choose to hate others who have nothing to do with it.
That’s just the American Suburbs. I hope American states can secede to change this. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, there is a high-speed rail being built. This is not driven by disgruntled people, people with no future, or people who choose not to hate others who have nothing to do with it. Neither is Iran defending itself from an imperialist regime, nor Australia having their left-wing Labour party completely outdo the right-wing Liberal party. America is the villain here.
All of a sudden, so many things are “not protected speech”. I find it tempting to be as ignorant as a Republican, but I’d certainly be caught off guard in that case.
PR for who? Who is on the fence about ICE?
I’m about as old as he is!
Alright, I’m putting this as my numerous reasons for splitting the Union.
by “this is stupid” I mean “the idea of chemtrails being used by the government is stupid”.
I hate the government, but this is stupid, especially considering that the government was supposedly behind this the whole time. The people who think these are chemtrails have no ideological integrity. When they find something evil done by the United States, instead of standing against the United States, they believe that it was someone else’s fault who is nonetheless powerful. To them, it could be George Soros’ fault, it could be the Democrats’ fault, it could be the Deep State’s fault, but never America’s fault. I believe many of the real problems today: people being left houseless and starving, masked ICE agents tormenting people, war in the Middle East between Israel and Iran, and so on are the fault of the United States–not Jews or Communists or Russo-Chinese interference–and it’s not happening to America.

If you’re talking about YouTube, that place is already hell for video creators. Many organizations, like PragerU, were already funded by fracking companies to make their videos, and they’d have an easier time covering the costs, or convincing people or the government that something else caused the cancer. The internet needs a socialist overhaul, really, and I can’t find anything else that doesn’t spawn new problems.
I like this “xcancel” site >:)
Always a good thing when you don’t have to give to Elon
I should’ve been on here instead. I legitimately thought that Anarchists, Communists, &c could make a difference being on there. Now I get people deliberately blocking accounts that aren’t even fascist, and being concerned with “bullying” instead of actually solving real problems. BSky has upper-class liberals talking about D&D, whining about how laws aren’t being followed correctly, cheerleading American imperialism, making unfunny jokes, and claiming that radical politics came from 4chan rather than legitimate political grieviances. All sorts of suburban slime. I really should’ve been elsewhere.
Back when asbestos was banned, everyone trusted the government. Nobody trusts the government anymore because of its constant foreign wars, corrupt candidates, and human rights abuses. We cannot do things like mandate vaccines and ban cars if the very government that would enforce that ban is this tyrannical and shitty.
Now they have ample opportunity to fuck up in front of everyone.
Making racists openly uncomfortable without changing their minds just makes them use dog-whistles, sneakier tactics, and play martyr; and when the ruling authorities (like the government, powerful corporations, world leaders) fuck up, racists can just take advantage of that. The great irony is that “End Racism” is doing everything but actually ending racism, because actually ending racism would be a threat to a lot of people in power, namely the police who rely on fear of Black people, mega-corporations who scapegoat Jews, countless corporations who rely on prison labor, ICE agents who’d be put out of a job if immigrants were welcomed in, and so on and so forth. Racists, from 2008 to 2024, were not foreign, dangerous wolves who needed to be shoved back into the forest. They were rich, well-respected, and relied on racism for their powerful position in society.
What is an era?
