    LOL at how many people in the comments are unironically doing their best impression of the “now is not the time” sheep.

    Blame it on people saying now is not the time if you want, but the other reason there’s no resistance is people saying, “We should start a resistance,” and not starting one. Seems like people are waiting for somebody to put revolution in front of them as an option they can click on.

      When they do, like promoting Hasan Piker, one of your best choices right now, you go on and spout MAGA hoaxes like “he zaps his dog” “he is very evil” or shit you should already know how to dismantle like “he said America deserved 9/11”.

      You always show more scrutiny to your own people than the enemy.

      You are like religious people. Always waiting for a “perfect figure” to do everything for them, because they don’t have what it takes to do it themselves. You are like a toxic DPS in a videogame. You blame the Tank for everything. The Healers too. You want them to carry you, to do everything for you, to tank all the damage for you, to cover you, to be “absolute professional perfection” so you can get the “clean kills” and then act like the hero of the story. If you win, “gg ez”, if you lose, “it’s all your fault but mine”. Literally.

      Always demanding all the reward while shifting all the risk, effort, and accountability onto others.

      Brother, even a person like Miss Rachel was called a demon. No matter who you find, MAGAs will make up lies about them. So why not join Hasan Piker or any other figure like him already? They are the closest you have to a “revolution”. It is still in the process of spreading class consciousness, you cannot jump to the pitchforks without first convincing everyone why first, but it is getting there, look at how many people disagree with Israel now compared to Oct 7. How angry people are with the Jeffrey Epstein Class too. Rightfully so, don’t you think?

      It is also thanks to people like Hasan that I, a Mexican who has seen the USA fund the Iron River with their taxes for over 25+ years, the Iron River which is getting 30,000+ innocent people killed in my country every year, that is over 200+ 9/11s every year just to please their greed and sadism, that I still have room of hope for you. If it wasn’t for Hasan, I’d probably be giving a lot of my money and work to the cartel right now, filling your country with fentanyl out of anger and betrayal.

      Why do leftists silence people like that? Not saying you do, maybe you don’t know Hasan or whatever, but, that is what always happens regarding this topic: Leftists behaving like toxic DPS, like religious people sacrificing millions of innocent lives just to “wait for the perfect man to take leadership”.

      It’s all of us or nothing. All at the same time.

        Dunno how my little comment was worth all that, but I think you’re quite right. In many ways liberals tend to be moral perfectionists who sabotage their own cause by obsessing on the imperfections of their best people - and compounding it by saying anyone who doesn’t demonize Great But Not Perfect Person X is complicit in whatever offense Person X committed, such as Liking the wrong tweet. Conservatives tend to behave like team players with a “nobody’s perfect” philosophy, which gives them the advantage in the numbers game.

      That’s not a revolution, it’s a riot. People get very bold when they’ve got the cover of a crowd.

      Revolutionaries have a much bigger job. They’re trying to mobilize a durable coalition of working people. And plenty of people try to chase that dream. Most just fail. And who can blame them? It’s an arduous exhausting dream to pursue, and not very glamourous, particularly at the start.

      Have a bit of grace. Not everyone is blessed with the knowledge, the talent, and the opportunity to pioneer an economy shifting revolution.

    When does a cell realize it’s part of a larger body? Does the cell owe the body, or does the body owe the cell? Are we becoming cells of a larger body? Sometimes I think so

      When the body detects an ill cell, it purges it as soon as possible to prevent larger cascade failures. Sickness are body process iregularities caused by one or more contingencies failing.

      Something had to have worked before, that we started noticing it is effecting us now. That applies to society especially.

        Well we didn’t have these magic boxes in every corner of our planet, always within line of sight of every human being alive, constantly whispering things to irritate, anger, divide and corrupt every aspect of society.

        So there’s that.

        Also we used to execute or exile people the group found distasteful, which certainly has its own issues.

      So, funny story about that funny story…

      The CIA covertly funded and helped produce the 1954 animated film adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. As a Cold War propaganda tool, the agency bought the rights from Orwell’s widow, hired a British studio to hide U.S. involvement, and changed the story’s ending to promote an anti-communist message.

    They’re all cowards! Why, if I was in that line, I’d charge right at the farmer. If they don’t fight unilaterally or successfully convince the other sheep, then they deserve to be butchered. 🇪🇺
