  • Just more ahistorical garbage from someone that admittedly doesn't read anything that might not agree with their existing beliefs. You're embarrassing yourself with every reply mate. Now I'm just entertained.

    "Each and every time". Cope more mate. You just generalized so much history into a single sentence it's embarrassing.

    Yeah it's just the damn MLs getting in the way. You really are just a lib. Or I'm being very generous you fall for liberal talking points.

    No respectable anarchist outside of the western world would ever agree with you. You're just repeating garbage liberal filled anarchist without any real ideas.

  • No. We are not both that way. I read plenty by anarchist and demsocs and even MLs I disagree with. Because I understand that we all share fundamentals that are good and can be learned from each other. Especially when it comes to defending successful revolutions and defending the working class.

    You, on the contrary are (by your own admission) treating this like some religion or some team sport. To the extent that you thought an analogy of leftist to white supremacist actually made sense in your head. Wow. Absolutely zero material analysis.

    To be clear, it's ok to make extreme analogies. That's not the issue. It's that your analogy is entirely based on "bad group I disagree with" and literally nothing more.

    You basically sound like a liberal that calls themselves an anarchist. It's pretty embarrassing.

    God, I wish anarchist actually had a successful revolution to point to so us MLs could pick apart every little failure of its post revolution society too. But, alas, they have never lasted long enough to actually be able to defend themselves. So you get to sit on your hill of "purity" while MLs actually get shit done.

  • Yeah. So you're irrational. You're not going to read a historical account by a ML because they're an ML. That would be like me not reading Chomsky's manufacturing concent because he's an anarchist. It's dumb. You're being dumb and close minded and missing out on one of the best historical accounts of the thing you asked about.

    Your loss. But don't act like you're being rational here. No wonder you fail so hard understanding historical materialism. You flat out refuse to read it for some liberal moral grandstanding masked as being an anarchist.

  • Yeah I'm not reading all that. Sorry mate. You're going way off topic from the initial reason I recommended the book in the first place. It covers the history of resistance to Nazis by leftist groups in Germany. But you seem to want to ignore that for some leftist (anarchist) purity. Like somehow you can't learn history because it's written by a ML. Weird take and weird rant.

    This is what Parenti would say to that. 3:15 for the relevant part. But the whole story is good. I hope you open yourself up to some more historical materialism and not discount someone because they understand the history more than what you've been told.

    Parenti definitely doesn't give a pass like you say. But he understands the material circumstances in which revolution occurs. What you call "authoritarian" might me seizing lands from slave plantations in Cuba. I'm not sure exactly what you mean. But I really think you should more reading from him not less. Especially, if you haven't even read his most iconic book. (The one I recommended). Have you actually read anything from him?

  • It's amazing how many people in America support Zionist Fascism by quoting the bible and saying that that land must be a Jewish supremacists Ethnostate.

    It's not even just the hardcore Christian Trump voters. You'll hear this take from the liberals in the PNW too. Its amazing propaganda. People don't even think or question it because it's been burned into their brain since birth.

    It's why you hear "progressive except Palestine" so often.

  • I think you're wrong. But not because you're illogical. On the contrary I think you're thinking rationally if you assume businesses are running to make better products. If you do. You're right.

    These companies are not running to make better products than their competitors. They are running to monopolize their industry to a degree that gives them enough power to sell absolute garbage.

    Look no further than the gaming industry. This is the exact type of garbage we are seeing from other industries now.

    They are not interested in making better products. They are interested in making profits. And if the entire market is held together by 2-3 major players all replacing workers with AI slop they will have no reason to change. They will all do it together.

    No amount of "indie" projects will ever threaten their market domination.

    This is then future that will happen. Don't expect "markets" to save us from this. The myth of "free markets" is how we got here in the first place.

  • Its why I love "getting organized" and making a well structured plan of what I will do the next day. It makes me feel so accomplished that I wake up the next morning and realize I already got all the dopamine I could get from making the plan. It's basically like I already did all those things. So there is no reason to rush and do them now.

  • Holy shit. Shut the fuck up. We don't live in China during the 2010s. People can care about an active genocide supported by their tax dollars and elected politicians and not be hypocrites for not mentioning "China bad" before every post.

  • The point here is supporting genocide or not. You can have this discussion about other things. But you could probably have left this comment unposted in this context.

  • Yeah. That's not a decision we have to worry about. They'll side with fascism. There is no question here.

  • I love how the liberals dreams of "revenge" are of not allowing others to be oppressed by some fucked up law.

    I mean. I get it. Don't get me wrong. But if the dream of liberals in power is just "things aren't getting much worse for awhile" I really think we need to reprioritize.

    My idea of left seizing power and being "authoritarian" is enacting universal healthcare, high speed rail, billionaires in jail, ending garbage AI waste, and much more material actions.

    If our idea is just to "stick it" to some racist people in Texas I think we need to rethink that plan. I want those racist people in Texas to have all of the things above too. I want the material conditions to improve for everyone because I know that that is what helps to end these manufactured divisions of race, gender, or religion.

    Our goals can't be to just play whackamole with fucked up laws in red states.

  • The difference between killing and oppressing innocent people in a foreign country and innocent people in America is only "huge" if you don't see the former group of people as human beings.

  • Damn. Sounds exactly like a way to boost small businesses profits as they steal taxes they won't pay. This type of policy can't be left to the businesses and a phone line. Just saying. It needs to be collected by the state imo. Placed into state Medicaid, Medicare, or a new universal healthcare plan for California.

  • Newsom is the King of awful neoliberalism. If the tech oligarchs demand fascism we'll get fascism in California too. You're not wrong. But Musk has proven himself to be a useless child. That's not how things would go. The ruling class isn't that stupid. That's why Trump kicked him out. Use him as tool? Absolutely. But Musk is basically political poison. But then again, the Democrats have been so incompetent they might actually try to work with him publicly.

  • The Job

  • This. I hate it. It feels like a modern day factory worker job.

    When I first graduated I was all caring about design, mainability, etc.

    Nope. All that shit is pointless in a large company. Took me too long to notice that Cisco was essentially just throwing as many code monkeys at the problems until things work.

    "Fix" a bug in a hacky way that creates 10 more bugs that won't be found for weeks and be another teams problem because they can't directly point to your hacky code anyway? That engineer is getting promoted. They fix so many bugs. So many commits!

    Take the time to understand the bug and do a rewrite to ensure other platforms are not effected and setup the design so it's easier to debug in the future? Well, you spent all week on one bug you lazy engineer!

    It took me too long to realize that I was the bad programmer. That this is actually what companies want and reward their employees for.

    Sorry. Didn't mean to rant. But your short comment triggered it I guess.

    I fucking hate this field. I still love programming though.

  • Gaza seems to be an approved place to do it. At least by all the west that are still supplying the weapons to do it.

    And, really, just brown children of the third world in general.
