This is actually Lenin’s tomb. All popular depictions of him are propaganda, capitalists don’t want you to know he was actually a sasquatch

Is it too late for me to enter the 2024 election on a platform of “throw every single reaction streamer into a bottomless pit”?

I literally have never heard of this guy outside of people talking recently about how he sucks. I’ve heard of h3h3 in passing over the years but I don’t think I’ve ever even been suggested one of their videos. What do they even do is it like a podcast or some shit. I’m surprised they’ve been around since 2015 lol.

I made homemade once and I think it just opened my eyes to how processed and full of salt/sugar/whatever the store-bought stuff is. The homemade stuff tasted soooo different (and not as good to the lizard brain), but I would try it again.

lol, the weaponising of all these terms “micro-aggression”, “inclusion”, all in service of settler colonial ethnic cleansing. I hate it here.

I don’t think “the left” is a relevant political force in Amerikkka. If we narrow the definition of “left” to “people who will withhold their vote from the dems because of their reactionary positions”, I think the numbers are low enough to be a statistical error.

At the risk of sounding like a slop hog, reminds me of Tom Hanks at the end of saving private Ryan

Changing jobs from one where I could sleep in until 10 to being a mailman and waking up at 4:30 sure stopped my late night scrolling. Im in bed with a sleep podcast on by 8pm lol. I don’t have the luxury of doomscrolling all night anymore.

Tbf Che died because he made a strategic and theoretical fuck up. Not really analogous here.

When I was a progressive lib type I had been convinced that multi-member electorates were the answer to our problems lol.
“See, the greens get 10% of the vote nationally but only 1 seat in parliament, if we had proportional representation in each seat it would be much more fair!”
It just sits like this and never loads in. I also can’t load my profile, notifications or post history.
Today I’m posting a picture of a media-obsessed anthropomorphic lizard. Oh and Gex I guess.

The Libs: “we must put CCTV in the abattoirs” Right thinking vegans everywhere: “release all animals immediately and stop the genocide”
Reading it feels like nails on a chalkboard to me every time
Love my non-political fantasy series that heavily features racism, colonialism, the consequences those things have for the colonised, and their armed resistance to colonisation.

A show about fake ultrarich people played by less rich people watched by poor people. A show that has pretensions about flagellating the rich while still somehow revelling in their debauchery and parasitism, a sort of recursive self-awareness that is supposed to somehow absolve the characters (and the irl rich?). Somehow it is both the sale of anti capitalism back to the anti capitalists whilst also scratching a Keeping Up With the Kardashians itch for watching the inter-familial spats of our feudal overlords. A contemporary Game of Thrones where everyone is bad and there is no good and it’s just a TV show so it doesn’t matter, which handily conceals the fact that our everyday reality is literally this show, and that the stakes in real life are actually weighty and have moral and material value and can easily be viewed as right and wrong. Along with a healthy dose of “their daddy was mean to them so it’s not their fault they’re all disgusting bourgeois pigs”. What the fuck. We desperately need prolekult. I’m so sick of this two faced culture that sells our own hatred back to us and pokes the reward centres in our brain - “hey you just watched a pithy comment that could KIND SORTA be construed as anti capitalist on a million dollar show on a billion dollar network, you’ve done your leftism for the day!” What stage of capitalism is it when everyone is so widely aware capitalism sucks that the most successful business model is pretending you agree that capitalism sucks? AAAAAA
I don’t hate myself enough to delve deep into the depp/heard lore. I see that people seem to think he’s absolved, is that real? Do they both suck equally? Tell me how to feel, fellow echo chamber members!
>Directed against the Howard government’s anti-worker WorkChoices legislation, Your Rights at Work protests were the biggest working class mobilisations in Australian history. The campaign cost John Howard his seat in parliament and tipped his Liberal government from power. > >Yet the fruits of the campaign were meagre for the trade union movement. Labor rolled into government at the 2007 election with a blank cheque from unions about what reforms to enact. The result was the Fair Work Act, a suite of minimal improvements alongside the retention of most longstanding anti-union laws.
Just saw it. Eh.
Like.... what the fuck? Danny Boyle has been known to make good films. You’re working with the catalogue of the Beatles, they have some, I dunno, pretty good songs. But what resulted is an absolutely jarring mess of shitty covers, bad acting, bad direction, weird editing, weird dialogue.... I honestly feel like I did a bunch of drugs before watching this movie, and not in a fun way. I haven’t felt this bemused and upset by a film since I did a bunch of ketamine watching Fear and Loathing and thought I was watching the movie from inside the TV. This is a movie about Beatles music that has more screen time for Ed sheeran and his music than the fucking Beatles. They even manage to shoehorn in the despicable black hole of talent that is James Cordern. The whole time I was expecting a cameo from a living beatle (because if anyone can get a beatle, it would be the director who did the opening of the Olympic Games after all), and at one point they tease it but don’t do it! Instead they perform a travesty by having some dude that, admittedly, looks a lot like an old John Lennon, show up. In this dogshit movie. The surviving Beatles probably didn’t want to attach their names to this absolute turd. I’m not even a huge Beatles fan. I think they have a bunch of good songs but are somewhat overrated. And even I feel like this does a disservice to their music, and it’s just on the whole a terrible movie. There’s so many Dutch angles I started to think the cinematographer had an inner ear disorder. Has anyone else seen this? Am I completely off kilter? I thought this movie was dog shit from the first 90 seconds, how does this exist?!
My lingering feeling that he sucks/is an op is growing. I’ve long figured that nobody truly subversive would be getting published by the BBC. The majority of his latest work is a borderline anti communist hit piece tbh.

It couldn’t be more on the nose about the decline in fortunes of the working class in the last forty years. Also lmao that people think Dolly is some kind of working class hero when she takes money from SquareSpace to shit out this abomination
