In that case, they must have no clue what ‘proles’ is short for.

You’re correct. Contrary to characteristically similar protest efforts in the US during the past decade, the protesters on the ground this time care very little about race. That is…

As usual, the most reliable correlate is completely ignored: poverty . That is not a mistake. The ruling class wants race war to distract from their class war. https://nonsite.org/…

Tonight I witnessed a young girl get knocked out cold by a tear gas canister shot into her face from about a 40 ft. range. She was holding her hands up. There was nothing but peace…

No, I mean the American psychological industry.

Thank you. This is what I meant.

Stakeholder capitalism is an oxymoron. You either hold capital or you bear the stakes. That’s the point.

America has a profound ability to diagnose individual problems, and an active inability to diagnose social problems. The American psychological industry cannot be let off the hook.…

Completely agree. Sacrificing engagement with the social structures and historical progression that we as a species depend on is not an option that can deliver a healthy society. N…

So the problem is the catastrophic dismantling of the welfare state over the past several decades. Ironically, most Americans complaining about getting the economy up and running a…

You’re saying: we’re already exploiting foreign labor to some extent, so why not do it more? What kind of logic is that? The global labor trade has proven a disaster for decades on…

I am simply saying there is no moral justification for any of it. It’s important to take seriously because the logical outcome of this turn to remote work will otherwise be greater…

I have had 4 phone calls so far and I was approved on the first one but haven’t received any benefits. It takes between 1-2 weeks between each call for them to call me back. The la…

Congrats on this bold justification you’ve created to justify your role in the exploitation process, but you’re not fooling anyone. There is no moral or material logic for this non…

In the United States a lot of people I know are eager to get back to work because they don’t want to get evicted or fall behind on car payments and fall into the Spiraling USA Debt…

Are you paying the same as US teams?

This is all exactly right. Taking issue with global trade has been called “nationalist” and taking issue with global labor is called “racist”. It’s the dirtiest political trick in …

We should also acknowledge the desperate lengths to which the US government has gone to soil any honor accrued in any previous wars. On the recent anniversary of the fall of Auschw…

Second to the slaves who produced this country, John Brown is probably the greatest American hero.

We need more POC CEOs.

The rich people create the value so they deserve whatever they want.

UBI doesn’t do that. Unless tied to something like land-value tax, UBI just raises rent cost. Of course it doesn’t happen immediately, but within a year or so UBI will be consumed …

The media industry makes it extremely difficult to reach useful information and verify it’s integrity. Sure, you can find a bunch of journalist blogs online through Reddit and Twit…

Right. It’s pretty unbelievable and very sad that the media has been able to somehow convince so many Americans that Joe Biden is some kind of New Deal Democrat. He was a pioneer o…

I moved to Joplin from Evernote a little over a year ago. It has had ongoing development and new features being added the entire time. The development is very iterative, and functi…
