  • When my parents first bought a home they had the option to get a free dishwasher and a free laundry machine with it because people couldn’t sell their house if their lives depended on it. Then they sold that house for profit, buying their current house that they have been living in for nearly 20 years now. They bought this house cheap and managed to get some profit off their previous sale as well.

    Their current house is now worth somewhere between 500 and 600k. It is up nearly 300k from the purchase price. There is no way you can get such an increase in wealth in the same amount of time by just working. And the wages are stagnant. I will never be able to do what they have done in our current syste.

    That’s the thing with these motherfucking socdems (if Bernie even is that). It’s always ‘tax the rich’ or ‘tackle the oligarchy’ or whatever. It’s never ‘deconstruct this entire system that allowed this to happen, and replace it with actual socialism’. Never. They are useful tools in this machine to prevent people from actually rising up.




  • It’s a thing I’m having a problem with recently, even for protests of our party. It’s becoming a circlejerk of who can make the funniest or quirkiest sign basically, which to me gives the protest a silly look. Or there are protests in which people dress up like something silly, like a lemon.

    No idea what I do want to see but the goofy behavior makes me cringe.
