Or as Liberals have taken to calling it it, The Greene New Deal

No matter what he says Xi is still my real dad 😡

When the person who made all my ringtones is telling anyone to read marx, we know the world's running off a cliff and just hasn't looked down for long enough for the plunge to happen

Couldn't give the Nobel to Trump cause he's a bad and orange man but they cravenly hand it to someone who's all-in on his political agenda and who staunchly proclaimed, through the gobs of saliva pooling between Donald's stubby toes, that he would have been the most deserving recipient. We're doomed

That makes a lot of sense but I'm choosing to believe that you'll have a scrooge McDuck-sized safe full of cartridges to swim around in before the decade closes out

Huh. I always figured it was some sort of elaborate scheme to fuel interest in the game through relatable memes while simultaneously cornering the secondary market in order to benefit from blatant price manipulation 🤔

The depths of depravity I'd sink to in service of manifesting a game boy game are bottomless

That is Actually Disgusting

How we feeling today, Cassandra?

forum wars took over the government. the 10,000-page thread spilled out into the streets. people are getting their doors blown open and hogtied so that nerds can win an online argument. they tanked the dollar and fucked the economy permanently to own you

The clarity of vision in Buckshot definitely puts it over the top in a comparison, but I've really been enjoying the atmosphere of Cloverpit for what it is; feels like it's straddling the line between Buckshot's Game For Adrenaline Freaks but with an "involuntary capitalistic coercion" element added

Thank you for this breakdown cause I was absolutely not gonna trace all of the red lines back to their origin points 🫡

It's actually so cute how they think that Bluesky forks and spinoff apps are gonna be this huge thing that'll define their vaunted legacies as Maverick Software Architects

It sucks but you can yell at the settings until it feels basically the same as 10

Me too 😩 there goes my time sink for the day! Back to drawing practice ig 😂

In that case, if you're just in it for the bitterness, I'll redirect you to my precious reply to your comments about hate speech, since you haven't responded to it yet: bsky.app/profile/scra...

That doesn't answer my question, unless you were trying to imply that you enjoy the bitterness more by deliberately dodging the conversation

Does this mean you're more interested in the thrill of the bitterness than having an earnest conversation about anything?

Reducing hate to "murder in your heart" turns a social problem into a personal sin, which is exactly how the ruling class hides the material roots of hatred.

The Bible's definition is moral, not material. The important thing is what speech *does*, not how it "feels." You don't need to wish murder to uphold oppression, you just need to reproduce the ideology that justifies it.

Hate speech laws in the UK aren't socialist, rather they're capitalist tools. The problem isn't that hate speech is censored but that the state decides what counts as hate. That same state may ban a Nazi for PR, but jail a striking worker for "incitement." Both serve the same class order

Why do you think your definition for hate speech is more useful?

What did I say that indicated these beliefs to you?

Why do you think that I support those things?

It's an ideological weapon that divides the working class and naturalizes oppression. Hate speech doesn't have to say "harm is good" because it already produces harm by keeping exploitation intact.

If it were just about "wishing harm," then racist propaganda, fascist slogans, or slurs wouldn't count until they literally said "kill them." But that's absurd because those forms of speech create the social conditions for violence long before anyone pulls a trigger

I really hope I can keep a conversation with this person rolling for a while- my job is making me do a 16 hour shift in about 40 minutes and I need something to keep me from being productive out of spite 😂

Hate speech is speech that targets people based on inherent (or socially fixed) characteristics. Zionism is a political stance which is not inherent to anyone or fixed in any way

Anti-communism was the ideological glue that held the whole system together while the U.S. expanded as the top imperialist power. These booms were temporary, and bought with blood, repression, and imperial dominance.
