Do you believe people choose to be ignorant of what they should be doing? Blaming oppressed people for being ignorant shifts blame from those with overt power and the systems they serve. Either the system is unjust because it keeps people impoverished, which includes their ability to make better decisions, or the people deserve whatever system they operate under. If this is a matter of people getting what they deserve, then the system is just.

WDYM? Our Oligarchs are richer so obviously things are better, just not for us.

Why does the wage worker at McDonald's deserve an even shittier life? You all think that if America gets punished they will learn their lesson.

The opposition needs to be talking about a general strike.

For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tombs of the dead kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.

But please continue to justify your counter-revolutionary actions by dressing yourself in revolutionary aesthetics.

I don't have to imagine when you're providing the example. Are you CIA or a Trotskyist without a group? I really am impressed.

If you really thought this you wouldn't wait. You would ambush them so that you can take more out. Y'all are just larping.

You know what's crazy? I volunteered for the 50501 protest and the Brown Berets showed up to protect those liberals you despise so much. Those Marxists are busy practicing solidarity in the streets while you are here shitting on them.

It's easier if you're not ideologically consistent, maybe we sell their labor to North Korea for some peace. But if there were ideological consistency, it would be to trade these poor souls on the block chain.

It's not even a question when we're literally fighting for due process.

When asked why such basic tasks are impractical they will say "just look at how incompetent we are!"
