I was going to say this. Every third white male millennial looks like him. Source: am white male millennial.
I’m really enjoying this discussion, my question is, for imperial countries like the USA, wouldn’t the two mountains that need to be removed in this case be the Americans themselves? I can understand having little to no faith in westerners, but I will never lose my faith in humanity.
I’ve also been thinking a lot about population these days. Fascists obsess over white replacement, but maybe there is actually something to this. It’s obvious, but colonial projects tend to fail sooner when they have smaller proportions of “white” people. I think for instance that Korea never had more than five or at most ten percent of its population being Japanese during the colonial period, and the portion of Americans now living in the south is much less than 1% (which kind of negates this idea). Algeria was ten percent French, apartheid was officially swept away when South Africa’s population was ten percent white, and now Israel is disappearing when half its population consists of settlers. The USA however is about 70% settler, which makes it a much tougher nut to crack, since settlers almost always think of themselves as their nationality first and barely if ever conceive of themselves as workers.
CPK’S TIME HAS COME!!
Am I wrong in saying that trots are at least better than the DSA? If they actually did things (other than sell newspapers, splinter into smaller groups, and criticize AES) I would support them.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery with regard to that second graphic there, but I guess people from across the political spectrum imitating communists is nothing new.

My job isn’t high-paying yet but it has potential to be in the near future if I can hang on and not fuck things up. But together my spouse and I are basically at the bottom of the top ten percent in the USA. I have more money and financial security now than I ever have. And I’m just continually amazed at encountering people every day who think that this country is normal or that it has a future. I’ve been riding around with one of my coworkers for weeks. Imagine spending thirty hours a week with a hexbear who is trying to convert you to communism without using any Marxist trigger words. I was full of despair with this guy a few weeks ago. I even talked with my therapist about it. He told me the true cliché, that a patient can’t change unless they want to. And my coworker owns next to nothing. He is so much closer to homelessness than he realizes. And he still put out little American flags for Memorial Day at his house. Lately however things have gotten better. I’ve started using words like “communism” and told him about my desire to live in China. I don’t get any pushback. At the same time I know that he’s not a Marxist, he looks at Facebook for treats all the time despite the fact that he is broke and his girlfriend is heavily in debt, that without guidance or study he’ll drift straight back into deep reactionary thought. He could also just be humoring me. Personally we like each other. But sometimes it’s amazing how much you can get white male Americans to agree with, at least temporarily. Yesterday I told him that if the USA stopped fighting imperialist wars and if it gave all its land back to Native Americans, it would cease to exist. No pushback. No “that would be bad.” On the other hand, he said something super ignorant about how the government is trying to brainwash him with propaganda. He’s not wrong, but the idea that the government is just one of many tools used by the ruling class to enslave humanity—that just doesn’t register with these people. They love the police and military but hate the government, even if half the government budget goes to the police (while the bourgeoisie steal 99% of the value that American labor aristocrats generate).
I agree with others here: if you get rich and cease to be a communist, then you were never one to begin with. At the moment I’m donating as much as I can to Palestinians without pissing off my spouse.
I’m kind of divided about this because I was once hardcore coveting my neighbor’s cattle but once I read the Ten Commandments I decided to just go to church every Sunday instead.
C’est ne pas une missile strike.
Turkey also wants to join. It’s kind of amazing that these two crucial cold war allies of the USA are doing this.
But what if I unconsciously believe that I have a small penis? How else am I supposed to express this belief except by buying a $100,000 lifted Ford, wearing wraparound sunglasses, shaving my head, growing my beard down to my belly, listening to the same five shitty autotuned songs on the radio continuously, and then tailgating you bumper-to-bumper if you do less than 70 MPH over the speed limit? Checkmate, liberal.
My parents are libs but it’s been almost two years of virtually no communication.
Um well actually sweaty I programmed my fleshlight with grok so it can tell me to eat one rock a day and explain that JFK graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison eight separate times while I’m grinding my wang so deep, so deep inside its cleanable synthetic swirler, designed to feel like real human flesh for his pleasure. This means the Sun was correct, as was the movie Sausage Party.
Yeah definitely and I welcome that because this shit is not safe and it should have all been replaced decades ago. And I actually live in a state where we have a lot of heat pumps and more being installed every day. I just intend to keep doing this until I get fired or find something better. I’ve also written on hexbear about starting a worker co-op.
There’s always plumbing, too.
I took a free five-week class to become an apprentice oil burner technician but I later found out that I didn’t even have to. If you call local businesses they will tell you if they’re willing / able to train you or not. Some (particularly those with signs out front saying they are looking for workers) might be desperate enough to take you. Try to work for a bigger company so you have less of a chance of getting screwed. (Smaller businesses tend to be poorly and incompetently organized and run by bosses who will steal your wages.) The job is physical and dirty and it’s fucking oil but it’s far from the worst job I’ve had and I feel like there’s a lot of job security and potential for growth. It can also just be a gateway into the blue collar world.
How do you feel about joining the trades? I was unemployed for years for various reasons. I signed up for a class a few months ago and have been working now for two months. The situation where I live at least is that people are desperate for workers. If you use boomer methods (call nearby businesses and ask if they’ll train you) some might say yes.
He supported the Iraq War, which should always be mentioned when discussing his ideas, which are themselves reheated MSNBC nonsense.
