Liberal saying that conservatives have smaller brain parts; hence the term.

The difference is that the Nazis in Ukraine are supported by a nation with a global economic and military hegemony and are being exported to support other imperialist projects.

Like nations choosing to support and side with Russia and China against their colonial aggressors. Or nations seeking their own independence.

Do you think Imperialism is when country attack other country?

Critical support means supporting a nation fighting back against the other nation that has a global hegemony economically and in military as well against their proxies. We acknowledge that the Russian Federation is an oligarchy; but unlike America it doesn’t have military bases surrounding and in every country around nations they are hostile toward nor dictates the actions and policy of the west which is the primary aggressor and agents of imperialism defined by Lenin.

Despite the death of the Soviet Union, it still has done more for the international working class than any settler project.

I wish you the best. From my experience with hostile actors online, it’s usually an awkward knock at the door.

Worse comes to worse, please take one out for me if you can!

feel like the highlighted part is what made me extremely suspicious

Crazy part is that this song was written in 2004 I believe.

All that matters is the preservation of the Biden Seed.

Almost got into a fight with a 50 something year old boomer at the gas station today. Was buying my typical poison at the gas station and with four people behind me this fuck cuts right in front of me.

Dude cuts in front of four people for two lottery tickets and I just step up aside him and start pressing him about how much he spends per month on those things and why he acts like a crackhead. Got a jolly “Ohhh so I’m a crackhead now?” and he stepped towards me right in front of my face. At that point I just shoved him back into lottery machine that was right next to the cashier till and he kinda half-crashed out and stood up and walked out holding the tickets in his hand waddling towards his big-ass truck.

Was probably on camera, not sure if I’m gonna get into trouble but at these days I’m at a certain breaking point where I just don’t give a fuck anymore. Hate these dumbass motherfuckers around here that grew up in petit-bougie homes that think the whole fucking world belongs to them.

Does anyone get these feelings? I have so much empathy for so many people in my life I work with, I deal with on a daily basis. I’ve volunteered for FNB and my local orgs. Does anyone else have this near homicidal rage when dealing with these blabbering caricatures of the truck driver from Disco Elysium? Just dealing with pure, selfish, unbridled pieces of fucking shit where you want to drive your thumbs to the back of their eye-sockets?

Did anyone ever tell you that you act like you’re 14?

“You’re clearly not American because you don’t believe in our untermensch!”

My family was in the military and I got to first hand see what the ancestors of that Vietnamese extra can do to men. They break them, turn them into shallow husks and then the government is the one to abandon them when the time comes because the V.A is too full. Then they kill themselves in one way or another. That’s the legacy of America taking off it’s “gloves”.

If a draft comes, most Americans will riot. I will gladly shoot my commanding officer and assist the enemy in any way I can. That’s a vow I can take after seeing what it did to my family.

In Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan and Iraq we have lost. Every time we have taken off our gloves, we successfully destabilize a country that is 40x smaller than us, sure, but we then proceed to lose against the extremists you were just talking about. We left them a ton of equipment in Afghanistan and Iraq, your precious wunderwaffe. Against China, we just straight up lost/stalemated with China in an even better position than we are now in THAT specific region. North Korea, sadly, would most likely be lost but so would South Korea.

Speaking of geography and region, you know, since you like to repeat yourself. I notice you ignored Ukraine. Ukraine is losing significant territory after getting hundreds of billions in aid and tons of American equipment! Why isn’t Ukraine marching into Russia with all the American equipment right now? I thought you said that it’s superior?

Damn, why does China own 50% of global shipbuilding and lead academic research in multiple journals? I’m sure our HIMARs that is getting blown up in Ukraine would solve the issue! Our 40+ year old carrier doctrine is impenetrable!

Looks like America is getting kicked out of a couple ballrooms these days. I’ll giggle when the time comes when more brain-washed American troops end up as rotting road-side meat again. A good boot-boy feeds their corpse to the road-side dogs after killing a couple civilians.

“Bro geopolitics should be like a wrestling match where I chug beer and talk about oral fixations with my buddies”

“What is B.R.I.C.S”

Your boot-boys got (thankfully) blown up by IEDs 24/7 while playing in the sandbox and couldn’t win a war against a bunch of farmers in both Afghanistan and Vietnam. Most of the military experience for the dirty jobs is given to private military contractors that for example fucked up a job in Venezeuala. GDP doesn’t mean a damn thing when over 40% of your country live paycheck to paycheck and don’t even get healthcare or higher education to boot. You think anyone is dying for this shithole country? Most people would gladly frag their commanding officers and good luck trying to get anyone in this generation to actually believe it’s a just war.

Last time America and China went to war; it divided Korea in half. No one won that one. You think they’re going to somehow win now when America had a far more experienced, technologically advanced army compared to the Chinese then?

The actual logistics of the military is a series of private contractors grifting off 10,000 dollar toilets and 200 dollar screws that is currently stocking away thousands of obsolete, outdated equipment that is getting blown up by cold-war era shit from Russia in Ukraine; unless you actually believe the propaganda that Ukraine is somehow claiming victory while losing territory simultaneously after getting 100s of billions of dollars in aid and military equipment (MUH HIMAAAARRRS)

China hands down has a larger military, in the article itself reads 50% of the global shipbuilding and leads in academic publishing for multiple major academic newspapers in all fields of science. China also owns most of America’s commercial production. You can’t win a war when most of your domestic goods are made in the enemy’s country. But yeah, aircraft carriers and 70 million dollar jets will win the day!!

Muh U.S ubermensch will beat your country cuz GDP!!! You literally sound like a third grader who learned about how awesome the military is through G.I Joe.

They are, but it’s not exactly something I’d condemn. Most of the houses are going to burnt to a crisp. People who are the victims of it just trying to evacuate is one thing but 98% of it is happening in the areas that are directly in the path of the fire or already burnt down. Reminds me of that quote about pouring gasoline on the oranges from grapes of wrath.

Besides, when private property matters more than human life; destruction is a form of protest. One they sincerely hate.

Non-profits, all though they can be exploitative, do not run under the model of extracting the value from workers in order to line the pockets of their owner, instead going to the cause they work towards.

I also do volunteer work. People make more than me everywhere.

Small businesses are the petit-bourgeoise that extract surplus value from people who aren’t employed by the major industrialists or financiers. If it’s a local franchise, I still have no sympathy for them because at the end of the day they are scraping a part of the entire worth of the workers’ labor in order to keep those “razor-margin” margins that always tend to line the pockets of most owners at the expense of the worker. The owner may be struggling, but they aren’t struggling like the person getting paid just above minimum wage to do the work to make THEM money. The fact that they have collateral such as real estate demonstrates that point entirely. More and more people can’t even afford a house. In the months of running at a loss; what was the owner of the franchise’s paycheck like?

I laid out plenty of reasons why you may have been black-listed. Could be the union or the fault of administration, not wanting to deal with restaurants because of those profit margins, etc.

It doesn’t go both ways. Capital has an advantage initially because they are the ones who own your workplace and take a cut of your payment AKA the franchise of the restaurant you ran. You either have the administrative ability to approve a contract/bid, or the franchise has to do it for you. The administration that the union operates under is the one typically making the choices for the union. The union is just trying to protect itself. Unions and labor activists have been the target of the FBI and have been subject to government perseuction.

That is how a lot of union services work. You either want to work with the union(s), or you want to go with cheap contractors, so cheap contractors you will get. Nobody wants to waste time with cheapskates who negotiate the value of the job by hiring some third-party handyman who may or may not actually get the job done right. I’m not saying this is you, but you deal with a lot of people like this when it comes to be a contractor.

What likely happened is that you didn’t get black-listed, but most of them likely figured that you are more likely to take the bid on third-party contractors if they undercut them and they don’t want to waste time and resources on dealing with that and decided on bigger jobs. I’ve had plenty of experience with those types as a maintenance and I’m not even union. I’ve helped union guys before and even gave them contracts and vice versa. It’s not as cut and clear as you are making it; could be just your area. OR your franchise has an issue with your local union OR administration, for whatever reason and you were just caught in the cross-fire. (when I worked at a place we had bills at another place under the franchise and I couldn’t ask for any more bids on projects from that company until the franchise paid off the owed amount from the other place)

Also, most restaurants already run on razor-thin margins. In my area most of them just use contractors. No point in bothering with a restaurant as a unionized workplace when there way bigger jobs out there. If you’re a GM you should understand full and well why their standards are so high because of the high number of chucklefucks you’ve probably ran into during your time at a near-minimum wage restaurant.

Your complaints are valid though in some ways, unions are largely captured and have been defanged by corporations and the administration that they deal with. There is no actual revolutionary zeal or spirit inside of them and they fall victim to corruption, nepotism and collaboration with capital. That is the reason the I.W.W exists and why communists inside a union have a due diligence to agitate and participate. Beyond that though, there has been a slew of legislation that has negated the power of unions from even early on most notably the Taft-Hartley Act and later on during Reagan’s administration (airport workers). Trade unionism has plenty of criticisms from us Marxists for its own reasons.

Union organizers and other labor activists still get blacklisted, harassed and propagandized against by larger industries/capital. It’s an evolved form of the “red-list” that existed all the way up until the 90s. A friend of mine had their father put on that list back in the day and basically was unable to find a job for close to two decades.

All just a ruse for what is actually happening beneath it all…
