russian revolution. nevermind.
russian revolution. nevermind.
I was riffing on the original and translated titles of foucault’s most well known work. whether it was sarcasm or not; 🤷♀️
semantics. you know what I was saying.
dead little girls in coal mines? there are dead little girls in coal mines instead of prices, or the normal dead people of all ages and genders on the streets I have to fucking walk past every day.
what’s the word for a thing that worms its way into your life, makes you depend on it, then uses that to exploit and damage you?
there’s a word for that.
capitalism: a simulacrum that signifies the absence of value
that comment was dumber than pepsi.
part of me would like to see it involve pitchforks. maybe some torches.
we can be really california about this. I might still know where my old childhood pitchfork I used to turn compost is, and I can make it an acetylene torch hanging off a drone, if you want.
okay but consider that you don’t have as much surveilance of your employees, and without that, how are you supposed to discipline them?
…cluttered? the fuck?
has this fucker seen a cubicle? why did she allow it?
the america that could have been.
no. when things are good there are guillotines instead of prices.
it WAS dealt with pretty quick, but yeah I bet it’s still pretty absurd, even if they at least ask… some questions?
okay but these fucking cultists have got away with much worse pretty regularly, and I expect this one to get away with this, so im still going to argue for my constitutional right (though not necessarily ability) to shoot up a church without imposed consequences.
basic state logic.
they’re incapable of sucking less. their whole episteme is about centralizing, about reducing thought the farther it gets from the central authority (whether that’s one guy, a class, or a building like the pentagon), but you CAN increase violence, threaten, flatten, disable, basically wherever.
for several years in the early 00’s, the process for getting security clearance involved no background check, just knowing who to ask. they literally rubber stamped it.
getting a fed job or something still did, but just security clearance, on its own, for anyone? just ask. not even nicely.
of course.
zip ties, the metal reinforced ones are called wire cuffs. get used a lot at protests and other mass arrests, too.
yep. I know if it wasn’t unusable trash I might not have come over to lemmy.
wow, a zionist AND a homophobe. I’m… what’s the name for a feeling that means the opposite of shocked but is far far more unpleasant?
no, they were the end of the worst of times. the fact that guillotines were a massive improvement is an indicator of how fucking monstrous the centuries of white terror had been.
