the old world is dying and the monsters are doing all they can to stop the new one from being born
"Cool Zone New Year" was meant to be a joke

Ppl claim to care about essential workers but they don't. Ppl claim to care about disabied ppl but force them to labor jobs that endangers health. Just because they're obsessed with parasocial virtue of performing relentless production.
My, what a perfect garden! Your field-hands must have very sick relatives to care for!
The Economy ™ (colloquial) describes the ability of those who hold capital to leverage it. be that for power, pleasure, or whatever else they may will class disparity widening by principle of increased exploitation and wealth extraction is a sign The Economy ™ is strong to them we are purely fuel
This is what this era has taught me. You can be from the planet Krypton and leap tall buildings in a single bound, but if they don't want to pay you (which they don't if they can help it), you're out.
Seeing chart fetishists try to apply laws of nature and universal rules to a socially constructed bullshit system is really bizarre. Do they realize that things don’t have to work this way and that it only does because those in power want it to?

One of the shittiest things about getting old is that the march of progress is a lie and that things revert to old shitty ways surprisingly quickly, particularly when capital is at stake
You're supposed to use "chud" as an insult for right-wingers, not to call yourself fat or a slob.
we didnt, we demanded better and were starting to get it when it was stolen from us. We know who did it and why.
We had an opportunity during the pandemic to re-evaluate everything. Work from home, re-think city cores, public transit, re-invest in public spaces, healthcare, public schools. We could have put a dent in the climate crisis. Why did we settle for status quo?
America isn't a dystopia because of Trump, the inherently colonial and racist foundation of America, as well as the teachings of fascism being passed down throughout the generations with almost no pushback from the white population, is what led us TO have someone as awful as Trump in power.
The natural outcome of imperialism failed abroad. They squeeze you all even harder to ensure the rich don't lose any profits just because people somewhere else successfully fight back.
most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

So ICE, like police officers, basically get to execute people, say some nonsense about feeling in danger, and then completely get away with executing people
dem politician when the news breaks: me and Sen. Hitler may not have agreed on much but at the end of the day we as americans have a duty to come together and mourn a man of principle, regardless of politics your 62 year old aunt on a public facebook account: awesome! hope more die soon!😃
Pretty sure forcing my body to be a vessel for biological warfare, and a drone for relentless production is the furthest thing from what a "temple" should be like.
"your body is a temple" they say, as they say all workers should exist in a constant state of progressive overload or be devalued/ emasculated.

“It’s not left vs right it’s about good and bad/it’s about the rich versus everyone else” is such a stupid person’s talking point, that *is* what left vs right is about.
Anybody who still defends capitalism needs to explain how the system has made a global emperor out of a zero-talent, sieg-heiling Nazi imbecile who turns everything he touches to shit: www.cnn.com/2026/06/30/i...
"If we do unambiguously good, necessary things that could inspire resentment in assholes" sounds to me like a bonus, not a reason against doing it
Out: Better things are possible In (laser eyes etc): Better things are inevitable
