I didn’t disagree with what you said, I told you that you were only looking at a small part of what was going on. You were such a bloviating self absorbed asshole that you refused to engage with anything outside of your mind palace. And since my patience with you was already exhausted, bye Felicia.

You’re supposed to listen to me go on for four paragraphs but I’m not going to do a single google search in deference to what you have to say

God forbid I ask mister shower monologue to ponder a question he didn’t ask himself

So there were enough protesting leftists to rewrite the social contract but not enough to kill them off?

What do you mean, I looked at it and rejected the contention that the imperial Adventures of our ruling class has had any benefit for taxpayers and citizens.

Michael Scott declared it

That in fact it has given Force and license to the ones that have taken away our prosperity and rights. I really do not see any counter argument you are making here for how Imperial Adventures help the working class.

Here’s

my

question.

Why did the US get the New Deal

And not the Jakarta Method?

Ayyy! I’m expounding ovah here! Ohh!

You had somewhere you wanted to get to? Waddah want from me? I’m expounding!

You are again shifting the argument from the existence of a labor aristocracy. If you want to defend the concept of the imperial boomerang, go find someone who is disputing it.

I wish I didn’t just read all of that to get to the end and you just brush off the argument completely.

And that cold war hurt us, it didn’t help us, in every way you look at it.

Was that line a troll? After literally not looking at it at all, you say that? And I guess we’re talking about the cold war, and not imperialism now?

Here’s my question in response to all of that: Why did the US get the New Deal and not the Jakarta Method?

(Also, 60 to 90 does not a shitton more refinement need ;-) )

Just a stupid person saying things out of pocket

In your analysis, do you bother looking at the working and living conditions of the western countries versus the global south, or are you just looking at the wars themselves and only from the perspective of taxes? How do you think the inequity of those conditions are maintained?

You’re denying the thing by only looking at part of the thing. Obviously the capitalists aren’t doing any of this for the public good. Capitalism needs a consumer class. That class resides within the imperial core. But for instance, the idea that making the #1 and #2 largest OPEC countries US vassal states has nothing to do with energy prices is just goofy.

What do you mean you never got any of it? All the cheap shit that comes from the hyper exploited global south? The bananas that cost 50 cents? The giant TVs that cost 200 bucks? The labor aristocracy is very much a real thing.

What if instead of republicans day dreaming about what a vote would look like without women’s suffrage

We imagine what democracy would look like if we didn’t allow fascists to vote

“These two are the same thing”

Look up what the term ‘order of magnitude’ means and please absorb the -fact- that you are wrong in this statement. The genocide in Palestine is literally the same order of magnitude as the holocaust.

Then look up the term ‘lampshading’ and refer back to your original comment at the beginning of this thread.

Crying preemptively about how people are going to call you a nazi doesn’t make you any less of a nazi.

It’s pretty gross behavior.

These people are bad for removing themselves from contact with fascists

I’ll show them. I’m going to remove myself from contact with them.

Because the ml instances support zionism…?

The third stage masks the absence of a profound reality, where the sign pretends to be a faithful copy, but it is a copy with no original. Signs and images claim to represent something real, but no representation is taking place and arbitrary images are merely suggested as things which they have no relationship to. Baudrillard calls this the “order of sorcery”, a regime of semantic algebra where all human meaning is conjured artificially to appear as a reference to the (increasingly) hermetic truth.[9]
