The New Deal did a great job at offering concessions from the system in order to placate the working class, which was building revolutionary momentum, so that the owning class could systematically dismantle the foundations of what allowed that revolutionary effort to take place. Now they have achieved that and are dismantling those concessions.
The law never worked for the people. It is a tool of the owning class to enslave the people to their whims.
The system is inherently oppressive and must be replaced. It is not the “best we could hope for”. Fuck off with that capitalist realism bullshit. Replacing it would be leagues better than floundering at trying to reform it out of its fundamental function: reinforcing the power of owning class hierarchy over the people and the land.

The problem with this is that you still believe the system is simply broken and must be fixed.
We tried reform once before, a century ago with the slow shifting from Gilded Age to the New Deal reforms, and we simply came right back around to the owning class once again treating this country as their personal playground.
The system doesn’t need reform. It fundamentally reinforces the power of the owning class and their system of private ownership over the land and its resources that rightfully belong to everyone. You cannot reform it out of that fundamental structure. It needs complete and total replacement with something fundamentally different.
The only thing this system was ever meant to control and regulate was the working class to keep us subservient to the owning class.

That’s just all the more reason to disobey. You can’t live your life in fear. Doing the right thing sometimes requires risk.

Read up on anarchist praxis and revolt. The only way out is to burn this fucker down and build something new.
- Comment on Fighting games have a product design problem 1 week ago:
That’s a problem with the industry and economics that don’t allow for a variety of creative expression, not with the game genre.
- Comment on USA Used Claude AI Model to Capture Nicolás Maduro 1 week ago:
There is giving them a break and making excuses to justify blatant hypocrisy.
They oppose violence and surveillance but then sell out to a fascist corporation that is actively creating a panopticon? Give me a fucking break.
- Comment on Investors are buying close to half the empty lots in LA burn zones, report says 1 month ago:
And they did so explicitly because they knew the lack of action would create these kinds of scenarios where they can further consolidate wealth and control.
- Comment on These Apps Let You Bet on Deportations and Famine. Mainstream Media Is Eating It Up. 1 month ago:
We fucked up society so long ago. Humans have systematically, over thousands of years, allowed the worst of us to beat down and oppress the rest until only their systems remained.
We fucked up and idk if we can be fixed without tearing everything down that reinforces our current society.
We need a complete and total reset of society.

- Comment on Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior. 1 month ago:
Psychology is weird and the brain holds on to a lot of baggage. The brain is a very irrational and illogical meat computer, after all. It doesn’t care about objective reality, only our perception of it.
- Comment on Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior. 1 month ago:
We used to be a country that whole heartedly embraced a preventative for small pox, polio, and influenza
Yea, no… you got a very rosy image of history in your mind. There were massive protests and constant public pushback against vaccines for as long as vaccines have existed.

The fight for vaccination has been rough fought against the tides of the confidently ignorant who let their irrational emotions control them.
- Comment on Google CEO Says We're All Going to Have to Suffer Through It as AI Puts Society Through the Woodchipper 1 month ago:
Or we could not suffer through it, instead rip these executives off their ivory thrones and take control over these means? That’s always an option too.
These fuckers think themselves kings so I say we treat them like kings by taking a lot off the top.

I remember when that documentary came out.
That feels like a lifetime ago. Everyone I knew thought it was over exaggerating and sensationalizing things.
God I hate how stubborn people are.

Literally is, sorry you are so confused about the subject.

If they start any nefarious monetization practices, absolutely pull mods. Until then though, I agree. No reason to pull ones that are already there, but definitely be prudent and start casting a wider net.

You don’t need full communism, just make sure companies are owned by the workers
“Companies owned by the workers” is communism. That’s literally what is meant by “shared ownership of the means of production”.
The “means of production” is all the shit that companies own, such as the land, machines, buildings, raw materials, etc…

Let me introduce you to torrenting and community distribution of data.
It could be implemented this way so that no one individual would need to fully shoulder the burden of hosting everything.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 8 months ago:
Paid mods I think are unlikely, why bother to make a change so unpopular? Milk this shit for a decade and press this button only when shit hits the fan.
Unfortunately, I think this will be likely because Nexus has almost entirely cornered the market on mods. It is the place people get their mods from if not the Steam Workshop.
People would have to actually abandon the convenience and go back to scrolling a bunch of games specific forums for their mods. I don’t see that happening unfortunately.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 8 months ago:
There are plenty, they just aren’t as big or as well designed because they are just small forums, and most are usually game specific.
Nexus was unique in that it was a hub for the modding community. It was a nice convenience while it lasted.

I’m just sad they won’t be continuing with games similar to The Lost Crown. 2D PoP games are peak.

I have, but only fighting games because that first month of online play is heaven when there is no meta established and no one has muscle memory yet.
But yea, fuck Gearbox, I uninstalled every Borderlands Game after the new changes to EULA. Fuck them having kernal access.
