Joking aside, this goes to shows just how powerful propaganda is. They literally have an actual experience with unions that invalidates their belief, but they likely have been bombarded by literal decades of anti union that their mind rejects reality and choose to continue living in the fantasy world they have been conditioned to.
This is why education is important. Its like in movies where the character got possessed by some evil shit, so their friends have to shouts encouragement to get it out. But this time we’re shouting theories until they vomits capitalism out.
We’ve been clowning on MSM for their puny showing for the last few years, but this whole situation really shows their true danger and their capability to crush any opposition to the western empire. MSM all those years sucked because it was peacetime, they honestly did not gave any shit for what they posted, they were just making some quick buck. All those op-eds we roasted in the dunk tank? They’re all nothing, just filler material for the imperial media.
But now, we’re all seeing the full might of the western media war machine looks like when they have a set goal in mind and with the full support of capital. Absolute information control, multi narratives meant to appeal to literally everyone, information overload preventing people from effectively discerning fact from fiction, and most importantly turning it into a spectacle thus disassociating people from reality.
And really have no right to be surprised by this because I was reading “How to Read Donald Duck” (Para leer al Pato Donald) a week before this war. It’s written by a Chilean socialist during Allende’s time and talked about how America uses Disney as a weapon to spread capitalist thought under the guise of innocent children entertainment. But even better is that the edition I’m reading is the latest one with a preface written after Pinochet’s coup, where the author was targeted and entire printing of the book was burned or dumped into the ocean. Namely it talked about the influence of western owned- media in controlling the narrative and spreading capitalistic views in the lead up the coup, in particular how they attacked socialism as an evil foreign influence all while presenting themselves as innocent apolitical outlet, when in reality they’re funded by the CIA.
We the left must NOT and NEVER underestimate the power of western media, all AES states views them with scorn and limits their publication for very good reason. And for those who still criticizes or doubts China’s censorship of western media, it is because they fully recognized the influence it can have on the people’s consciousness. The MSM have been in this business for over half a century, they perfected their craft in Indonesia, Chile, and many more victims of imperialism. Because when the time that the left will finally have to face capital head one, we must be aware about the full strength of the enemy.
The covid cope is definitely going to be talked in the same way we talks about medieval people throwing cats into bonfires to stave off the plague.
Also why the fuck did every of these gusano stories, no matter the place, ALWAYS involves eggs in some way.
“I like union for the good they have objectively done to me personally, but I also don’t like them because my brain is still addled with worms that drives me around like in that one Spongebob episode”
Car drivers be like car gives you freedom
My brother in christ you spent 25% of your entire lifespan on this green Earth stuck in the traffic
All of this shit started from hentai addicts in a racist image board
This is basically the essence of neolib “enviromentalism”: pure performance for the benefit of the consumer that is supported by a long supply chain as wasteful as the normal option.
American trads yearns for green walkable town (this, the ideal “christmas town”, “small town USA” where kids can bikes to all destinations), yet vigorously fights against its existence in real life.
If this imaginary town got taken over by chuds, they’ll widen the road and push the houses away from each other with giant lawns.
This is why the prospect of bazinga brains colonizing space is so laughable. An astronaut is basically if you roll together hardships of polar scientist, ocean oil rig worker, submariner, and underwater welder into one, and throw them into an environment that are even more inherently hostile to humanity more than all of those professions combined. For one those people only need to exercise to stay fit, not because their wouldn’t literally withers because there’s no gravity to hold your muscles together.
Sci-fi nerds everywhere are so high on settler fantasy that they thoughtlessly applies it to space. They’re unaware that real life colonizers had it so easy because they’re conquering lands that have been inhabited by people for centuries before their arrival. They came to lands where prime farming ground have been well known, where the local dangers have been catalogued, where the water sources have been charted, and the best crops for the local condition have been grown. Obviously none of those would be in space, it would be like if the settlers instead of colonizing fertile ground, instead have to settle the inside of fucking active volcano.
Everything beyond the karman line is not a “virgin” ground for us to exploit, but it’s a massive expanse of nature completely alien to life from this planet with its own unknowable history that we must respect. Except that capitalist have as much respect of space as they have of anything else, which is why just like capitalism itself the commercialization of space is doomed to fail.
