Since it’s hellworld, I’m sure the answer will be no but…is it irrational to ask ourselves whether their complete mask off moment is happening a bit too quickly?

Material conditions are getting worse, make no mistake. Capitalism is due for a catastrophic event. But, we’re kind of not there yet, and the chuds are making such a big stink about being the catalysts for this once in a generation ™ extinction event in capitalism. And the amount of poo, So much poo, they throw it everywhere and they do it so loudly that even the most politically unaware are made aware of their pant shitting wrecking this paper tiger of an economy.

So that combined with all the flat out fucking weird and supremely distasteful shit they’re doing and saying makes me feel like they’re overplaying their hand. Atp they just have to kill all of us because i can’t imagine they’re not turning off a lot of normies

I dunno, there’s a lot of people who are pretty content with being bigoted through some veil of propriety, don’t think they want to fight on the kkk frontlines and be confronted for it. But I’m probably being extremely hopeful.

    The 90s were the funeral march of the Soviet Union - the bleakest moment in humanity’s existence.

    Nothing is worse than the 90’s. Trump is just a silly carnival on the ashes - nothing really of note.

          If you’re talking about the Soviet Union, there is some other stuff they lived without too.

            What, a nebulous “freedom”?

            I will defer to comrade Stalin:

            “It is difficult for me to imagine what ‘personal liberty’ is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.”

              I have actually used this quote on libs and got them to agree with Stalin, knowing that it was him. Literally “well, Stalin was right about that”. He really was cooking. stalin-comical-spoon

                There is a minority strain of liberals who would be card-carrying socialists if not for being saturated with anti-communist propaganda for the entirety of their lives.

                But you know this. I write this for the 100th time for others I suppose.

            Yeah, compared to the territories of the former Soviet Union in the 1990s, I can think of widespread child prostitution and millions of preventable deaths from poverty, among many other things.
