Gamers are all masochists, now?
Many game franchises today, typically after receiving comments and pressure from the hardXcore community, feel like they must update their games post-release to include “extra extra intense nightmare difficulty levels – permanent deathhhhhh” because modern gamers, living through pandemics, economic collapse and subsequent looting covered up by pandemics, late-stage capitalism, and open fascism, don’t getContinue reading “Gamers are all masochists, now?”
Sedition? For my constitutionally protected, non-threatening free speech? Bring it on, fascists!
So the fascists who control the US government are making mouth noises about charging anyone who says “Trump should die from the virus”, or just “Trump should be dead/I hope he dies” with *Sedition*, a felony that can carry the death penalty. I thought I should respond to this. They aren’t calling for people whoContinue reading “Sedition? For my constitutionally protected, non-threatening free speech? Bring it on, fascists!”
Flaws are warm
Sound engineers: work for half a century to produce reference audio equipment that removes all flutter, wow, distortion in order to make the best experience. Modern hipsters: demand engineers build devices and software code to put back wow, flutter, distortion for weird nostalgia about flawed audio that engineers put their life’s work into fixing.
Stalin Vs Texas
The state of Texas has imprisoned and executed more prisoners than Joseph Stalin ever did. Pass it on.
Happy False Revolutionary War Day, Murderous Americans! Time to celebrate who and what you are!
Happy flag-pole noise day, patriots! Rah rah! This is your day to demonstrate uncritical fealty to the blood-sucking parasites who’ve pitted us all – workers everywhere – against one another for hundreds of years as they maintain and reinforce the perpetual poverty and suffering you blame on black people, ‘outsiders’ and freaks, and/or some ridiculousnessContinue reading “Happy False Revolutionary War Day, Murderous Americans! Time to celebrate who and what you are!”
We don’t work for family, community, or nation any longer, so why do we work? For whom do we work?
The ‘work’ we do every day went far beyond working for our families, our communities, and our nation a very long time ago, before many of us were even born, and the value of that work is no longer returning to us in ways that benefit us. In fact, the “surplus” value of our laborContinue reading “We don’t work for family, community, or nation any longer, so why do we work? For whom do we work?”
Keep an eye on that ‘blacks vs whites’ propaganda surge as blacks and whites fill the streets, demand change
Today, popular blogging sites like Medium, among other opinion blogs and columns, feature opinion pieces that make the claim “There is no such thing as a white ally”, and claim that white people only make everything worse when they try to help. This of course comes during the largest multi-racial civil rights protests in USContinue reading “Keep an eye on that ‘blacks vs whites’ propaganda surge as blacks and whites fill the streets, demand change”
All ‘peace’ enjoyed by US citizens is not real, and has never been.
Every time tax-paying, voting, working-class Americans have enjoyed a period of “relative peace”, it has never been true, and was always selective. When you ignore the plight of millions of people who are victims of our wars outside the country, and when you utilize the ready-made, imperialist, America First propaganda that tells you “they deservedContinue reading “All ‘peace’ enjoyed by US citizens is not real, and has never been.”
Virtual Breadlines, and other quintessentially American problems-
At least during the past, before the internet and online ordering, when the breadlines formed and basic supplies became limited you could *see* those breadlines forming, photograph them, and document them in this way. Today, under late-stage capitalism and all it has wrought, the ‘breadlines’ are virtual since most people order online and enjoy, lol,Continue reading “Virtual Breadlines, and other quintessentially American problems-“
