Socialist, accountant, and veteran who got tired of being fire hosed with white-supremacist advertisements on Twitter. A speck of dust that just happens to exist at this point in time. Don’t worry — the CIA stands for certified internal auditor.

It’s cool that the ruling classes know that popular protesters typically depend on their paychecks and hold it against them to squash political opposition — while simultaneously insisting they’re paid protesters.

There are a few Jem’Hadar that question their genetic programming but, ultimately, they’re bred and trained to be racial supremacists.

Kind of hard to believe that I’ll be losing my CIA designation come January 1st when it enters the inactive phase.

I once dreamed of correcting a system through internal criticism — now I’m a janitor with an accounting degree doing bookkeeping for fun.

Also, ‘Want to Help Humanity Flourish? Have you considered just shutting the fuck up and dying?’ is a banger essay topic.

Really unfortunate to have a cited expert with the last name ‘Epstein’ in your article at this point in time, OCPA

This is similar to the slop that the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs puts out. It must be nice to have a (well paid) job that revolves around fucking with public perception to push public policies of austerity.

Bruhhhh I WISH leftists had the same mountain of capital to draw from like the Heritage Foundation, Peterson Foundation, Ford Foundation, CPAC, etc.

Paraphrasing Parenti: “How leftists were to get power from fighting for the rights of powerless people was never explained.”

The USA’s bourgeois class has 1) taken advantage of poverty to fuel Christianity’s membership, 2) twisted that Christianity to foment anti-progressive sentiments across the lumpenproletariat, and 3) used the ambiguity of the Bible to convince Christians that the stories of Revelations are coming.

When economists in the early 1900s predicted that automated production would lower the hours of work needed to around 15 hours per week but it actually just sped up the rate of exploitation

National guards people can be just as if not more reactionary than active duty service members. They feel like they have something to prove and have a short window to play out power fantasies.

It is not possible to serve in the most imperialist military in the contemporary world and not have at least one disability when you ETS.

Whether physically or mentally, the military gets its toll from the person. Maybe that’s a factor in our large veteran homeless population.

When I was taking economics classes in high school and college the flaws of capitalism were never discussed. Sure, we talked about unemployment and supply shortages but always in the most sanitized way possible. There is no thought towards the human suffering of our socioeconomic system.

If you’re a working class person trying to understand what’s happening in the west, especially the US right now; red maga and blue maga fascism, and liberal “democracies” all over the west backing israel’s genocide, please don't read 1984 or Animal Farm.

Pick up Lenin’s 'The State and Revolution.'

A paperback copy of The State and Revolution by V. I. Lenin lies on a small wooden train table, next to a window with blurred scenery outside. The Penguin Classics edition shows a red-and-black cover with Lenin speaking to a crowd, the words “ВСЯ ВЛАСТЬ СОВЕТАМ” (All power to the Soviets) printed in Russian above.

A drill sergeant put a knife to a recruit’s throat when I was in the Army soooo I guess they can just stab them now.
