    Far too many people who think they’re labor aristocracy (or are) in the country. We’ve been conditioned to think about things in a bad way only if they affect us on a personal level. Idealist individualism has done wonders for the bourgeois in that it keeps us so divided, almost to a granular level.

    I think USains only care about wellbeing of only themselves, i think theyre very selfish in that way. The most horrific crimes where just published that proved that almost every government official and the bourgeois have been lying to them since the 90s, but from what im seeing it seems like nobody gives a shit. Like this kinda shit should be revolting. Idk man im just disappointed at this point. Epstein class deserves 20 years of torture starting from the nails and going up from there. After that they should face the wall. Tbh im more mad at USains because im just tired of that country and that their bs claim that theyre the best and shit like idk its just so arrogant.

      It is not only USains! Don’t forget the British. They have known about their pedophile prince Andrew and the fact that he is still alive is surprising. People like him should be hanged in public like the nazis were.

      I think your frustration with the US is very understandable. It’s been world terrorist organization since the end of WWII and was doing various kinds of horrible shit before then as well, going back to its roots of genocide. And then for people living there to be too often arrogant on top of that, as if they are superior and not the bombs the country uses, is galling.

      That said, as a USian, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do about the Epstein stuff. But I’m already of an ML mind, so although it’s uniquely shocking and horrifying, it doesn’t move the needle much on how I already understood the nature of the capitalist/imperialist class. I mean, the genocide perpetrated by israel, propped up by the US, that has been going on for a while. And it’s worse than this. Mass murder of kids, along with adults.

      I’ve always cared about others, but society has never taught me how to stand up for them properly and I don’t expect it to do ever do so in its current form, knowing better now how it operates. The worsening contradictions and conditions, the increased internal repression, violence, and racial profiling from ICE, are forcing some people to learn though. Forcing them to learn the same kind of lesson that every other oppressed group in history has learned, that if they have arms and you don’t, you need arms or you aren’t going to last. When that’s going to reach a tipping point, if it does in time, I don’t know.

      Just know there are people here who care. But I wouldn’t blame you for a second if you’re frustrated with their seeming inaction. Talk is cheap, as the saying goes. Except when you’re a multi-billion-dollar propaganda arm of a global empire, then I guess talk can get expensive, but that’s a whole other matter.

        Im not mad at you specifically. Im just mad at libs and conservatives who are the majority of people in the usa. You or anyone in the imperial core being a communist is already enough i think, especially after all the propaganda. Idk man i understand the situation for the working class there and how even having the time to think about whats going on in politics is kind of a privilege, but yeah man idk i still think that prole revolution in that country is still possible but my optimism fades away day by day since every day now is worse than the day before it, therefore every day is the worst day. Idk man at this point i wanna go to the woods and live there alone for the rest of my life. Its just that i know that the revolution only will happen if the average american loses their treats and actually gets treated like a 19th century slave, until then i dont think we’re(we as in world because most of the world follows in the footsteps of the us unfortunately) going forward. But yeah im not mad at you specifically or any other usain who is trying to make the world a better place. Like sure i could tell you to be like luigi lol but like what did that really change? It just got rid of 1 ceo and they replaced him without a problem, you guys need to change the system as a whole and that wont happen just by killing a few ceos and not doing anything else, free luigi tho.

          That’s totally fair. It is very trying times for a lot of people, more so I’m sure for the victims of imperialism. I try to hold onto hope about it and remember that we are part of what makes change happen, not just the inertia of things. But I am also personally just tired a lot and sometimes probably sound more hopeful in words than I actually feel. The pain of not growing up with much of a sense of community is something that drives me to try, but it also leaves me feeling more isolated and dismayed than I would probably otherwise be.

          So yeah, I don’t know. I wish I could be like, “Look over here though, we’re getting wins” maybe just cause I wish I could be boosting moral or something idk.
