still gotta use capitalism to critique capitalism

I think there’s an argument to be made that this is the best way to get the message out. A book with a publisher and a famous author gets a lot more attention than a PDF on the internet by someone less notable. And the notoriety of authors – for worse – is tied to your book deal, the media hits your publisher helps attract, and being an in-demand speaker. The theses of any prominent book is readily available in interviews, articles, etc. anyway.

It’d be better if she donated much of her earnings to a worthwhile cause, but for all I know she does.

Just go through and count the usage of kkkanadians.

The horror!

What is it you think vapes emit?

The fact that ukrainians are still fighting to this day shows they want to be independent.

This is a post about conscription, where people who do not want to fight are forced to

It doesn’t matter who did what before

this didn’t start on February 22, 2022, but in 2014

History starts and stops exactly when it best suits my argument

“All my takes are so perfect no one but a troll could disagree with me”

Go “do your own research” then lmao

You reject the overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is caused by humans, then you want to pull debatelord shit about the history of climate science forecasts. Fuck off.

claims climate change isn’t caused by humans

links to article about climate change being caused by humans

I’m owned

You’re talking nonsense. Yes, living people are currently causing climate change. Those most responsible have names and addresses.

The world should have burned down to the groun… to nothingness 10 times over according to all the specialists/scientists.

This is just embarrassingly ignorant. The climate is deteriorating faster than scientists predicted, not slower.

Your answer to OP’s question is denial and a refusal to actually investigate the situation.

It’s an illusion your mind produced.

Lmao climate change isn’t an illusion, what are you talking about

Changes to climate are going to happen naturally

We’re not talking about natural climate changes, we’re talking about climate change caused by human actions.

“You can’t yet see the train you know is barreling down the tracks towards you… I think you have better things to think and worry about”

Do they? Pretty sure lots of people would reject an idea like “maybe we should just kill disabled people” whatever you call it.

99% of the time “you’re a bot” is backed by zero evidence besides someone disagreeing with you; it’s redditor derailment bullshit

The 1% of the time there’s any evidence at all, it’s never removed

Ok, now make an argument for Harris that isn’t “Trump Bad”

We know he is, the problem is Harris is bad, too.

I will very much enjoy not being rounded up by the Department of Homeland Security for it.

Run this one by all the people beaten and arrested for protesting the genocide we’re funding in Palestine.

If Trump gets elected again… I think the possibility of Palestinians getting exterminated becomes a genuine possibility, and the damage to our climate and our ability to reverse course after four years look very fragile.

Biden has given unconditional support to Israel, and had even circumvented Congress to give them more material support. Biden has not only done nothing of substance to fight climate change, but has approved more federal oil drilling permits than Trump.

If Trump did the things Biden did, Democrats would correctly call him a war criminal and threat to the planet.

As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce.

The leftist frustration with liberals comes from statements like this:

maintain stability instead of shedding blood

You cannot maintain the stability of capitalism without shedding blood. There is no option where no one gets hurt; violence is baked in to the status quo. How best to reduce the amount of violence in society is another question, but the false dichotomy of stability vs. violence is the root of the disconnect here.

I think you are vastly underestimating the horrors of most pre-revolutionary societies, and probably also overestimating what you describe as oppression in post-revoltionary governments.

On the first point, here’s an excerpt from a JFK speech where he describes pre-revolution Cuba:

The third, and perhaps most disastrous of our failures, was the decision to give stature and support to one of the most bloody and repressive dictatorships in the long history of Latin American repression. Fulgencio Batista murdered 20,000 Cubans in seven years - a greater proportion of the Cuban population than the proportion of Americans who died in both World Wars, and he turned Democratic Cuba into a complete police state - destroying every individual liberty.

And JFK was no friend of Castro; he greenlit the Bay of Pigs invasion! Revolutions are born from the most brutal forms of exploitation and violence. Not even the wildest anticommunist propaganda about post-revolution Cuba comes close to the reality of what the revolution replaced.
