Thanks for that summary.

That is why they burn them in the fictional story Fahrenheit 451.

Delusional, created a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist to usurp the power away from citizens and concentrate it in the minority.

This is the opposite of the information revolution. This is the information capture. It will be sold back to the people it was taken from while being distorted by special interests.

If I were to take a significant amount of the budget and totally lose my ass I would get fired. These people have no consequences. Meritocracy my ass.

Translation: We need more suckers now!

Chickenhawk says what?

Everything is fine, ignore the booms and busts. They are part of the design.

The cult of money is truly a circle jerk of epic proportions.

“Being a happy vassal is one thing, being a miserable slave is something else,” he said.

If this doesn’t sum up modern resignation I don’t know what does. Capitalism sure does create a bunch of cucks the wealthy get to manipulate. But hey, if you put your foot down you can be a happy vassal. WTF.

To keep the status quo of ever widening income gaps and growing fascism a banker of course.

Revolution requires people not invested in keeping a system that serves wealthy and their favorite proxy, the corporation, exclusively.

Wow, someone who pays attention. Cheers!

Imagine someone throwing their trust at a capitalist unironically. Nevermind, you don’t have to because murderaxeman is here!

There is a lot to unpack here honestly. Let me say first that I support the Iranian people in their quest for reforms. For me the second thing is history.

The US has had its hand in regime change in Iran for a long time going back to the 1950s. They helped install a dictator and remove an elected democratic leader. This arguably lead to the revolution.

So people who know history are a little bit bitter with the US and allies bombing the fuck out of Iran while calling their people to rise up.

As I said in my original statement being most people are confused by what is really going on. They have been led astray not just about communism but a whole lot more than that.

You probably should have see this as complimentary, but I suppose I could see you personalizing this so my apologies.

We can disagree that communism was always a window decoration. I see actions and I don’t really give much weight to obvious propaganda.

China is just another fascist nation at this point as reliant on the US as US is on it. Both are intertwined economically and it shows. Our “enemy” the number one trading partner of the US and our other “enemy”.

The propaganda never ends and reality is harder than ever with thousands of bullshit excuses and reasonings given for all the garbage governments do.

There are no major nations that deserve humanity at this point. I am under no illusion that there are no good guys especially with the US.

I was just saying most people don’t know. You clearly know.

It is not very common, even on Lemmy, to have people think that China is not actually practicing communism. Even though, for instance, they produced more billionaires than the US this year.

Everything you said seems pretty accurate. Communism is just propaganda as it always was in China.

Communist China producing more billionaires than the US this year. Clearly most people are confused about what is really going on. I suppose years of anti-China propaganda has lead to some of this confusion.

There is a difference between confusion/lack of knowledge and willful ignorance though.

It is okay, I can speak the truth because you can’t.

More billionaires than the US this year.

At some point reality has to come home to roost.

Please, China is great because of the US not despite it. People are so confused about what is going on it isn’t even funny.
