Profits are higher than ever, but line must go up so you’re all fired.

Imagine pretending you don’t understand the value of PR and propaganda in a war.

Describe what you consider the “third way” that isn’t capitalists owning the means of production, workers owning the means, or the state owning the means.

Traditionally the “Third Way/Position” is fascism. So, ultimately, kinda, but with race science.

The trick is not falling for the lie that social democracy is meeting socialism in the middle.

Social Democracy is just liberalism with enlightened self interest. Is it better than other capitalists models?

Sure. That doesn’t make it the end goal.

They’re talking about Gaza, fam. Specifically, continued funding for Israel and babbling about “realpolitik”

So white someone will make a trending post on a Linux memes community about “coonfigers” and no one has a problem with it.

Honestly looks like it sailed right over everyone’s head too. I guess that’s a good thing?

The Star Trek memes community couldn’t even stay together, it splintered under the pettiest nerd drama I’ve ever seen

Bullshit, they’re bluffing at best.

Average revenue per user is a pretty common industry benchmark, and the US absolutely slaughters the rest of the world. We’re the fat, dumb, brainwashed cows the advertisers can’t get enough of.

Is that really justified, or an example of selection bias?

Does it matter to a shareholder?

Unless

Funnily enough, I was returning a call the other day from an 800 number I was mostly expecting that lead to a Philippine call center and thought “If it was a scammer it’d just be pretending to be America”
