"I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department”

Yeah we know. He’s genuinely a white supremacist, misogynist, queerphobe piece of shit. A PR department doesn’t give a fuck about any of that, but at least they’d be savvy enough to pretend like they give a damn in order to make money.

Right. This article is far too generous.

Read, write, gym, combat sports, paint, study, research, try to contribute to science, astronomy, camping, gardening, fishing, and a lot more.

It’s because Elon keeps getting caught out liking and boosting blatant white supremacist stuff. Who knows why. He really doesn’t seem to mind everyone knowing the fact that he’s a neo-Nazi.

I boycott McGenocide months ago and it was surprisingly easy. There’s much better food to eat out there.

There are plenty of bosses like him out there. Completely high on their own shit. He reads about technology in a sci-fi book, and thinks he can Steve Jobs into bullying workers into making it a reality. Completely deludes himself into thinking it’s real and sells it to investors with full confidence. He has no idea of the actual technical challenges and fully convinces himself his genius brain could figure it out if he wasn’t so “busy” all the time. Everything is perpetually just 6 months away.

Beards are where the Communism is stored. As the ruling class become richer and more obscene, class consciousness grows amongst the working class. Hence, beards.

We can be pretty sure he’s a pedophile though based on his connections to Epstein.

Gravity Rush time.

There’s not a lot of point in an event like this when emotions are high and reactionaries are high on the “heroism”.

But “all cops are bastards” remains true.

In capitalist society the role of the police is to protect the private property of the ruling class and to serve their interests.

Since their inception that has been the role of the police force in Australia, beginning with the genocide of aboriginal people in order to secure land for settlers.

In the 80s and 90s we saw how little the role of the police force is in “protecting and serving the people” as they formed gangs to hunt down, murder, then cover up the murder of queer people.

Can you really justify the role police play in keeping workers from striking and making meaningful change in workplace reform, or in housing where the police use violence to evict the poor in order for the rich to buy up all the houses?

We haven’t even touched on mental health. Why in general are the police called when there’s a mental health crisis? Where are the counsellors, psychiatrists and social workers? Why was someone with schizophrenia allowed to get to the point where they became a threat to the public?

The actions of the individual are justified in this situation. Incidentally police do some good actions sometimes by virtue of the fact that they’re currently the ones with the power, weapons, and authority to act in these circumstances.

But there are much better ways of organising a society that don’t create such disparity, and there are much better ways of protecting communities that aren’t primarily centred on using violence against the poor to protect the greed of the rich.

If you see someone driving a Tesla the correct response is always to point and laugh.

It’s an unfortunately common misconception that humans are inherently selfish and greedy.

Like you stated Capitalism rewards sociopathic behaviour.

Humans learn and adapt to the systems they live under.

Selfishness and greed is enforced under the capitalist system.

You should check our Peter Kropotkin’s ‘Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution’ for an alternate take which sounds like you’re already on board with.

Honestly, I need more :3 in my life.

Yes, literally.

Without capitalism we would be free to build any cool technology we desire, with the only motivation being the benefit of humanity and improvement of our daily lives.

Capitalism is a wasteful and nonsensical system that will only guarantee the enslavement and annihilation of human life.

There is no utopian version as long as we maintain the capitalist system. How long do you think “regulations” can stand against the profit incentive of every conceivable greedy ghoul out there?

Pure ideology (liberalism).

To be “on the left” at minimum you need to be totally opposed to the capitalist system.

From there, there are many ideologies to choose from whether authoritarian (like Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, Stalinism, etc.) or anti-authoritarian: mutualism, communalism, one of the many strains of anarchism, etc.

Also if you’re authoritarian I’d say it’s questionable whether you’re still on the left.

The term “proactive policing” is disgusting. It’s harassment, bullying, and terrorism against the working class.

Where is the “proactive policing” of wealthy people exploiting workers, stealing wages, and other crimes?

ACAB.

hehe minus one 😈

Yes
