  • I'm a conservative and I hate liberals.

    I'm an Australian anarchist and I want to return to the good old days of the Aboriginal gift economy and traditional land management. I hate neoliberals for supporting capitalism.

  • What happened to the Dem Party in America? It's kind of like once Kamala lost, which they deserved, and lost congress. They ran like a dog with its tail between its legs instead of fighting?

  • They lost on purpose because their corporate donors told them to. It's called jobbing. And you fell for the act.

  • Are there any good protest songs from the past few years?

  • A Sound Of Thunder - Els Segadors is a metal cover of the Catalonian national anthem. Catalonia was anarcho-communist during the Spanish civil war, but was defeated because the liberals betrayed them. The cover was played at the independence protests in 2018, I think

  • Yes, everyone agrees that Ellis's run from 2014 is the best Moon Knight made in the last 45 years. You can find it in the From The Dead book, which you shouldn't pay for because Ellis is a creepo.

  • I'm guessing that's because you think voting for a candidate supports them in more than one way?

    The first way that voting for a candidate supports them is that it helps them beat the opposing candidate, the R fascist. So you're giving them the "better than actual Nazis" award, I'm sure you agree.

    But I'm guessing you think voting for a candidate gives them support in more ways than just that one?

  • I love Warren Ellis's run of Moon Knight. The art, the writing, the themes, it's so good. It was only after I recommended it on MULTIVERSE that I was informed Warren Ellis is an asshole. He cheated on dozens of women at the same time, giving them career favours in exchange for sex. It was a sexually exploitative relationship that the women were not made aware of in advance.

    Good thing I didn't pay for it!

  • In ancient Greece, everyone told stories about Achilles and Odysseus and Perseus.

    Now we watch stories about Iron Man and Superman and the Jedi.

    The difference is, back then stories belonged to everyone. Now stories belong to billionaires.

  • That's true, but survival is still a prerequisite to life, and animals can't even survive if we eat them.

  • No, that's the opposite of the truth. They're a paid jobber party. They don't oppose the Republicans, they job them. You know, like in wrestling when a wrestler is paid to lose a fight on purpose.

    The best thing we can do to fuck up their plans and screw with the billionaires is vote for the Democrats and persuade others to do the same. That's the thing they least want us to do. They want bad PR and low voter turnout. But if we register with the party, go to local primaries to support socialist candidates who actually believe in improving things, and then help those candidates win (and keep the Rs out by voting for the jobbers when we have to), then the billionaires are fucked because the true believers in the party, even the libby ones, will raise taxes. And Trump won't be able to lower them.

  • I'm gonna be honest: voters are dumb, and that's the biggest reason why they don't have agency. Forget voter ID and banning mail-ins, the biggest form of voter suppression is propaganda. Billionaires invest tons of money into making sure voters stay dumb. Politicians actually have a ton of control over voters, because they're so easy to manipulate. So the tankies do have a point.

    HOWEVER, if voters weren't so dumb, they'd have agency! And the tankies who didn't vote because they're scared of lesser evilism? Well yeah, there's your voter suppression through propaganda. The dumb voting is coming from inside the house.

  • Look at Me, I'm Just Jack! I'm helping the billionaires confuse the working class into voting against their own interests!

  • That's cause they're trying to lose on purpose. Their corporate donors told them to.

  • I got a good one for you

    Me: Trump won because people didn't vote for Kamala. She got 10 million less votes than Biden.

    Tankies: No it's because she ran a bad campaign. It's not because of the voters at all.

  • I know an AI guy who still uses Xitter. I asked him why he doesn't use Mastodon or Bluesky. He says he tried Bluesky, but there's no AI content there. The AI people tried to move to Bluesky, but they got bullied off the website because people hate AI.

  • Here in Australia the grasslands were maintained before colonisation with fire. If you burn in cool weather when there's a bit of moisture in the plants but not too much, you get a cool fire that doesn't burn the trees but clears away the bushes and scrub.
