“We are happy to announce that years after the development of the Torture Vortex, we have finally built the Agony Nexus from the cult novel WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE GODDAMN TORTURE VORTEX, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS? ANYWAY, DO NOT, AND I REPEAT, DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BUILD THE AGONY NEXUS!”
The Mediterranean Sea isn’t exactly an ocean, but yeah, the point stands.
Also, Marx’ distinction of productive and unproductive labour isn’t a moral one, but rather a strictly material one. Marx distinguishes between productive and unproductive labour strictly along the lines of whether the product of said labour turns a profit for a capitalist. Thus, the exact same labour process with the exact same resulting product can be both productive or unproductive, its categorisation is entirely determined by whether the product is a commodity or simply remains a good.
In your example, the barista making your coffee would be productive labour, whereas you making the coffee yourself would be classified as unproductive.
The protein point is so incredibly trite. Have these gentlemen ever seen a horse?
His entire career is based on doing stupid and dangerous things whilst afflicting maximum damage to himself for laughs. Like, that’s his entire thing.
He isn’t a bad person, he’s just a massive idiot. Many such cases.
Genuinely, least damage done.
This person has all the money they could ever wish for, all the opportunities to do what they want, to become whoever they want to be, to interact with whomever they wish to interact. They could pick up woodworking, blacksmithing, learn about science, philosophy, history, politics, the arts, whatever. Instead, they choose to do this, day in, day out. It’s sad, honestly.
Did Franz von Papen write this comment?
Ah, the tried and true succdem tactic of “punching left” (at other succdems lmao). Worked great in Germany in the last 20s, the SPD secured power for eternity and Germany has achieved socialism.
He’s fuckugly and a massive prick on a personal level. And since optics is all that matters to liberals, he’s the worst politician in history.
Honestly, where is the lie?
I’m a Central Asian person living in Germany. I’m keenly aware of the threat to the lives and livelihoods of us, a threat that has been made ever more clear since October 7th. However, in terms of destructive force that can be unleashed onto the rest of the world, this wave of fascism is shaping up to be the farce to the tragedy it was last time around.
European Fascism doesn’t exactly require a whole lot of beating, this time around. In 1933, Germany had a large population of young people that could be fed into the meat grinder of the eastern front. Right now, all of Western Europe is facing an impending demographic catastrophe with incalculable consequences. Case and point: Germany’s strongest birth rates have been in the years of 1962 to 1965 with a pretty sharp decline and eventual stagnation around the mid 2000s. Retirement age in Germany is 65-67, thus in the waning years of this decade, Germany will face labour shortages it will not be able to accommodate. Now, imagine if fascists come to power in Germany and actually expel the quarter of the population that has a migration background (which, on average, is considerably younger than the “Bio-Deutsch” population). The country would be in ruin effectively immediately. This is no economic basis for a major military campaign on the scale of Operation Barbarossa.
The situation is not much better in the rest of Western Europe.
Because their supposed moral superiority is so flagrantly undermined that they lash out. Genocide, to most people, is rather indefensible. If your cult leader is guilty of perpetrating/at the very least fully enabling and covering for it, it becomes rather clear that your support for them is not a moral or rational choice but rather, well, cultish. Most people do not like being confronted with their cognitive dissonances and thus act like this.
Ah, the classic arrow and sickle of communism.
Sounds like a bad idea to arm them with depleted uranium and cluster bombs if that’s the goal.
Wait, I’m trans?
