Tell me about it. When I first learned that the website developed and run by Communists had Communists on it, I couldn’t believe what was happening.

The only moral stance is to post about the US election in lemmydotEthiopia, the Australian election in lemmydotSuriname, the Bolivian election in LemmydotAlbania, and so on, but only if it’s months out of sync. Anything else is suspicious.

That fits nicely because it’s always people who have and will continue to have enough food in their belly that they can indulge in an extra meal while indulging in fantasies like ‘one more election cycle, pleeeease, I trust them to stop murdering millions of innocent people, just one more election cycle and then they’ll fix everything, pleeease’.

What’s non-wealth-based fascism?

Fr when I’m filling in my spreadsheet for the people I have to watch, it’s a lot easier if everyone goes in column A or column B.

Column A is titled ‘Radical speech but thinks that voting will change anything – no action required’.

Column B is ‘Radical shitposter – maintain eyes, no immediate action required’.

The other columns, though – damn it’s a lot of paperwork.

Column O, ‘Organising their community, feeding people, and providing healthcare’ is the worst. Luckily for me, the agency’s action means they don’t stay on the list for long so the paperwork is finite. I probably shouldn’t be saying all this as it’s top secret. But we do know what’s up in our department.

There must be a cartoon chimera that’s half donkey half elephant. That could work, too.

They grew up with lead pipes. They literally did become less empathetic. Who knows what the remaining lead and the microplastic will do to us.

Then they die and the eight people who survive their 55th birthday are the conservatives with acres and acres.

Yeah but if I hadn’t become ill or had found a well paying job or didn’t dislike the cold and hunger in those first few days when I actually ‘slept rough’ and if CBS had picked up on my marketing gimmick sooner so that a venture capitalist would come along with $millions to invest in my very innovative idea of selling dog coffee (I mean, that is genius, I bet nobody else has thought of selling dog coffee before), I would have made more than one measly million. When others fail it’s never for these reasons. It’s always laziness. Anyway I’m back to my mansion now that the health scare is over due to the phenomenal health insurance that I had throughout the whole time. And I’d like to thank every major news organisation in the Western world for boosting my story; that venture capitalist came along and it turns out that they were as impressed as expected and I’ve now made that extra mil. Bye losers.

It helps to have seen a hammer in use. But us blue collar workers are invisible to the likes of these rulers.

Fly it high.

They’ll let you live in these than stack you one on top of the other on a container ship headed to sea and forget about you.

The contradictions in that last example.

Spy balloon found incapable of spying.

Orcocracy’s razor.

Stocks in left over black ink from all those old inkjet printers found in landfill sites increase GDP by 4pts this year as it’s revealed that adding a bit of water brings then back to liquid.

…

Turmoil in Britain this week as Nestlé refuses to let the British use water for bathing, choosing instead to sell Britain’s waterways to the highest bidder—second-hand ink manufacturers. The price increase of Nestlé shares raise GDP another 3pts.

That’s only a problem for those who demand exponential growth. And your assumptions are based on the unsustainable model of western imperialism; as China implements it’s green energy, transport, automated agriculture, and housing policies, those sectors won’t need to keep ‘growing’ as they do in capitalist states to prop up GDP. Even if it’s right that if the slowing rate of growth leads to a net GDP shrinkage, it doesn’t portend collapse.

That’s not counting the effect of BRICS+ and the BRI on interpreting GDP. You don’t need such a high GDP when you cooperate with your neighbours, when your GDP isn’t a measure of how much you bully your neighbours and oppress your foreign and domestic workforce.

Many have repeatedly and outstandingly wrongly claimed either bluntly or in what they think is ‘clever’ subtleness that China is about to collapse. Do you really want to be in that crowd when the music stops?

If it wasn’t collapsing, it wouldn’t be in the red.

Can’t condone terrorism but also very happy being silent, simply not condoning the majority of terrorism by calling it something else.

And when you catch them out, they say, ‘Yeah but they had to lay low for a bit because it wasn’t safe’.
