they're gonna bring back feudal society but with the masses bound to corporate entities, arent they?
the fascism of the 21st century is being owned by a corporate lord and living on your work site isnt it?

There's a masculine emotional undercurrent to the godfather that i could relate to when i was a teenager in puberty but as a trans woman just feels alien and clownish to me
like the truth of that movie is somewhere in the unresolved male ego and the compensation thereof and i can't vibe on it anymore.
it's not for lack of trying, but the far right doesn't deal with wreckers and state interference to the same degree the left does.
the left is also less willing to abuse human psychology to get people under the banner.
we can be like them, but we have to start getting left wing sympathetic people on board with things that traditionally the left finds abhorrent in this country.
A lot of little and big rubicons to cross culturally before we can have organizing like that.
specifically about the use of force and discipline around organizing. people need to accept enough hierarchy to be able to take orders, to be willing to do what it takes to keep your movement and your comrades safe.
acceptance that we've been at war for decades now, but haven't been acting like it. It's time to treat this like war and i think a lot of leftists are still not there in the USA w/r/t accepting that.
i've been on hormones for six years in just about 10 days and i gotta say sometimes this isn't true.
I go from "i'm never cumming, keep going though" to "i exploded before my hormone devastated dick could even wake up"
i am talking way too frankly and openly about this
it mostly comes down to random chance it seems
bump amber whataboutism idk if these even work
Do you think so? I think what we are internally isn't fully dependent on memory and reference, there is some element of us that just is, for at least as long as we're alive. Behind your eyes and resting within your interior is a spark of something that has existed continuously since you were born, that little "I" of awareness may never change.
It's always you imo. You can go through mk ultra style brainwashing, lose your sense of identity, find yourself under a new name and with new interests, but between who you were and who you are, are enough commonalities that I would dispute the notion we're just electrical signals in wet gooey meat endlessly referencing the past to navigate the present and anticipate the future - but that's me.
i think these questions are really uninteresting if you're gonna insist on being purely rational materialist about it, but i think it gets more interesting when you're willing to play with what reality might be a little more. There are religious motifs that repeat in many cultures about the eternal reocurrence. This idea that earth is made and destroyed in countless infinite, repeating cycles.
What if you and I have been going at this for a while?
But if you want the answers science can give right now, probably not
I'm absolutely not returning to twitter to reply guy @ elon, but like that's an absolutely amazing failed attempt at a gacha
Brother you're trying to signal boost and set the tone of discourse. Adrian Ditmann might as well embody how you think normal people see you, and it's sad.
Naked narcissism and manipulation, "actually libs i'm just loving myself" is amazing
I want to somehow say the thing that he sees, and is cut down by it, and is forced to reckon with how awful he is. That's my power fantasy, is being able to do that to shitty people. Make them hurt with surgical precision like an AED trying to jumpstart a heart.
But I know guys like this never really had the capability to get that jolt, and by the time they're whatever the fuck Elon is now, there's no chance.
I feel kinda sappy for just wanting these people to have some kind of eureka/enlightenment moment, but I would have so much more hope for the world if that were possible.
i mean tbqh any of them who are like "yeah this is me i choose to lean in" are doing us a favor.
i'd rather they come to their senses and like, earn their humanity, but i'll settle for them not breeding sure.
i bet vance lets his cheese curdle before it sloughs off in the couch whereas i bet daddy timmy washes thoroughly
nah too gross
I've had a love of history generally, and I know a bit more than most about the Roman empire, and that's kind of a red flag i guess, but I genuinely think they're one of the worst things to ever happen to the world, much as i find the endless stream of civil wars and coups to be very fun to read, the brutality of their empire wouldn't be surpassed until England somehow went from a backwater to a globe spanning empire and to be quite honest i'm not a fan of them except as a gateway to knowing what some of my ancestors got up to.
Weird Ass Rome Guys are why the American feds are the way they are, it's obvious there is something deeply wrong with how Rome gets portrayed in popular media and stuff that makes this a seemingly wide-spread phenomenon, but honestly what's with the glorification of Rome? is it downstream of American Nationalism? No, that can't be, because Rome Guys go back so far we have popes making fake roman states and tsars and sultans trying to prove their dick is the most Roman. It's hard to miss a lot of Rome Guys are pretty regressive people. Like, you don't ever think something like "Augustus was a role model" unless you've got some twisted bullshit shit going on in your heart.
It makes me uncomfortable to engage with the history sometimes, because Rome Guys are always listening and ready to project their noble fantasy of them and the idiot narratives of Rome's decline as a sickness caused by foreign invaders sure does sound like deeply right wing revisionist history to me, but I've never really thought through the how and why of these guys, i wanted to solicit Hexbear's thoughts.
i would need to know what Satan himself is about tbqh but i wouldn't rule this out either.
