  • Why not buy some under water drills and an underwater propulsion device then go down to the marina and sink some expensive yatchs? How about slashing some police tires?

    Why not study an industry you wanna take down and figure out how? Or gather an online flash mob and invade a conservative website or institution. How about running for office at your local council? Or sending letters to good and bad politicians saying what you think. Contact the media about something you believe but make sure it’s the right level for what you’re saying.

    Or go read some leftwing theory.

    I think they’re saying it’s punk rock to hate women and screw poor people over, whilst being racist and bigoted in every way possible.

    Aka it’s punk rock to have no idea about the history and political aspects of punk rock.

    …in fairness, Johnny “I do butter commercials now” Rotten agrees. Which gives “God save the queen” a whole different quality.

    Lots of companies will do this, eventually advertising the purity and the size of their human created training data.

    These will be the companies selling their content to AI companies, although some will probably just be scanned in illegally. Perhaps a new type of copy write lawsuit will have to be invented.

    Most people will continue to use these sites, aware their data is being used like this.


  • Start by dismantling the housing market. Make owning multiple investment properties illegal, initially give a “sale by” time ordered by the government, if it’s not met, the government bid must be accepted. That bid should initially be at the low end of the Market but as time goes on, and this opening move at dismantling Capitalism leaves the news cycle that bid should drop to half the market value.

    Make housing a right, drastically subsidizing the cost of home purchase on a sliding scale so it’s cheapest for the poorest.

    During this process, more and more people will have the government for a landlord. For these people offer rent-to-buy schemes, where the rent dollars are paying the mortgage price. Once an amount is paid, the renter gets the deed to the home.

    Soon all home sales would be done for people to use the actual properties being bought, and homelessness would be greatly reduced.

    I say all this because to dismantle Capitalism you need a feasible plan for all the sectors being targeted.

    But most of all you need this plan so you can demand your leftist party to take action on it. You need something to point to, and say THIS, this is what we want you to do. Saying “dismantle Capitalism” is not enough.

    …and in all honesty, you’ll most likely have to run for office, and create the party yourself if you want anything like this to happen.



  • The word SHOULD is absolutely always the imposition of an external morality. that YOU subjectively believe I should do something doesn’t make your moral opinion objective or applicable to me. So go should someone else to death.

    But you also did the whole “I’m just a fun google guy reminding you! And I had enough time to get this picture of soup! But not enough to go do my own research!”

    If you want a source ASK for one like we’re equal adults in a shared space, don’t come along and act like you’re everyone’s parent or the local cop and demand people work for you with your “should” morality. You lost case.

    If you WANT to find the information yourself, you SHOULD go find it for your fucking self. Not do some friendly fire cop thing posing as some kind of thought leader/monitor or groupen fuhrer/commander then shooting into its a debate or like this is a space where there’s a spread of misinformation or like that’s what was happening.

    So yeah, take your “should” morality and shove it up your over inflated sense of moral importance. Some of us are currently just trying to relax here, and aren’t on duty.

    You want to play that game go do it where it’s important and needed: in mainstream right wing spaces that have Trumpist Libertarian Nazis in them, as I linked earlier. Don’t try to start petty shit at random. Direct your intentions where they become: among the uncritical rightwing who are the actual threat.

    That’s where I do it, that’s where you should do it, but P.S they don’t like the shoulding parental approache either. It’s a bad mode to approach most adults with.



  • Capitalism hasn’t existed forever, it literally started in the late 1700s during a period called The Industrial revolution, when factory machining started the first cottage industries that pushed out previous modes of hand crafting.

    At that point, when machines and cottages to hold them started to be required for mass production and hence competition in the market (pushing out hand crafting as a competitor) CAPITAL became a requirement of mass wealth accumulation… because one needed large sums of Capital to buy the machinery, rent the building, and hire and train the workers to exploit. So it became the limited province of the already well off to do.

    That’s when Capitalism was born, and why it’s named CAPITAL-ism. Because it has Capital requirements if you want to join the Capitalist class. It was created in the British Industrial Revolution.

    That you’re unaware of this change in the mode of production and what it represents, and believe that "oh Capital has just existed forever" is what some Marxists refer to as being in a state of “false consciousness”.

    The system wasn’t always this way, and doesn’t have to necessarily be this way (eg. Marx offered the model of workers owning the machinery or “means of production” as his alternative, and there are likely others). Capitalism is a product of a technological “change of epoch” of the “mode of production.”

    …and it’s defined the age we live in, and how we think. Which is what the later Frankfurt School neo-marxists discuss.

    P.S. It’s also worth noting that the British Industrial Revolution, The French Revolution, and the American Revolution all overlap in time periods. Live was very different before the late 1700s.
