I don’t think it rejects any of those things. When capital goods are privately owned then by definition the workers do not have autonomy or control. If the workers of a coop own the capital goods I would consider that collective ownership of capital goods. Not quite public ownership (you still have to be in the group to access it) but not private either.

Climate critiques are definitely in the realm of capitalism. Your house and your land you use to live on is personal property. But if you are running a factory or a farm for other reasons than for your own use then that then ceases to be personal property and falls into private property which is capitalism.

I’ve not seen a better difference between capitalism and socialism than capitalism is private ownership of capital goods while socialism is the collective or public ownership of capital goods. Social democrats are not socialist because they are not addressing the ownership of capital goods. They just share the profits via state provided safety nets and benefits.

This understanding is also inclusive of the different forms that socialism can take. State (🤮), Market, or Gift/Library/Communism. I’m open to other opinions on it if someone has critique or a better definition. This is just the one that’s made the most sense to me over the last 7 years of me being a leftist

Every Social Democracy is built upon imperialism and exploiting goods and labor from the third world. Social democracies are the epitome of well it works for me and people who look like me but fuck everyone else. Plus social democracies almost always are very restrictive of who gets to participate in said social democracy since the state can only provide these services to so many people before things collapse because it fundamentally does nothing to break from the destructive capitalist systems. They also tend to be really really racist too.

Capitalism has pretty much one defining feature. The private ownership of capital goods. Worth also repeating that anti capitalists are opposed to private property (of capital goods) and not personal property (your house your car your toothbrush)

Even gTLDs aren’t entirely safe. .dev is iffy right now because only Google can give those out and Google domains is going away.

It’s harder to break into but I make 150k and barely graduated high school. Software engineering is largely a field that doesn’t care about degrees but about ability. It’s harder these days to break into the field than it was 10 years ago when I did but it’s absolutely still possible

My white former mother told my black wife both that A.) Racism is everywhere you go and also B.) Racism isn’t that bad and she must be doing something to deserve the racism that our entirely white town was giving her. And that’s why she’s my former mother.

Honestly, seems pretty sus. The link you posted is just a screenshots of some word documents in a folder, the original source they posted was removed by the mods of /r/exmo which they would not do if there was credibility of this being real because /r/exmo loves being able to destroy the church. People who saw the post before it was taken down say the documents are written by someone who is not a native english speaker, and contain links to news articles but little else. I want this to be true because I hate the cult and what it did to me, but this doesn’t seem credible. Even if some of the things they discuss in it might be. I’d believe it more if it came from a more credible source than some guy who posted “look what I found” on /r/exmo

Not only that, but Mormons view patriotism as a religious virtue. We were raised that America is God’s chosen place, and next to serving a mission the best thing you could do is serve your nation.

The guys who created the CIA book on how to tortue were both Mormons. I hope that if I am very very wrong and Mormonism does turn out to be right, that God fucking punishes these sick fucks for thinking that torture is ok, or even good.

Terrorism is when another nation resists your genocide and the more they resist your genocide the more terrorism it is

React isn’t even bad or hard to learn. You just are stuck in your ways.

• Software Engineer of 10 years so not a recent boot camp dev

Just a tip. If you aren’t a frontend engineer probably don’t take stances on technologies based off of a blog post created 2 years ago. Tailwind is fast as hell, even a few years ago. It is only the dev build that had this issue and this issue has been solved for years. It’s no longer an issue. Tailwind is amazing and most devs who use it agree and will never go back to writing old css by hand again.

Chiquita bananas. They literally stole entire south/central American countries and used death squads and the CIA to enslave the workers and kill them when they asked for such unreasonable demands like being paid in actual currency

Except it’s not only just to survive. My dog can eat vegetables and a vegetarian diet just fine. But if I put meat in front of it it’s gonna eat it.

Also your second point: B12 doesn’t appear in plant based diets.

I had hoped the imagery of capitalists pretending to be Russian soldiers and 1/3rd of the soldiers being Joe Biden in disguise and saying stay woke was all clues enough that I didn’t need to drop a /s on there but alas

You are mistaken friend. It was actually western capitalists disguised as Russians who invaded Ukraine. Don’t you know that at least 1/3rd of the “troops” invading Ukraine is actually notorious war monger Joe Biden himself in disguise? Stay woke.

Fuck man I wish our world leaders would actually take action on stuff like this. Direct war with Russia appears to be becoming more and more an inevitable conclusion. They are going to cross a line sooner or later that will necessitate it. The only question is how long will we allow them to fuck over Ukraine/Their neighbors/The world before we do so. I’m anti wars of imperialism but despite what edgy tankies might believe the only imperialism at play in Ukraine is Russian imperialism. And I am absolutely in favor of war to end genocide and Russia is committing genocide.
