The United States and the UK successfully blocked attempts to outlaw all use of incendiary weapons

That’s because incendiary weapons are great for exterminating villages full of poor people in the colonized world - ie, the kind of wars the US and UK prefer to wage.

Artificial intelligence is worse than humans in every way

As if capitalists have ever cared about that…

He’d patent avocado genetics and call them “xavocados.”

crystal ball

The nature of capitalism and the capitalist class haven’t been a secret now for more than a hundred years. No crystal balls required.

he might have done something worthwhile

No, he wouldn’t have. Musk is an incompetent billionaire parasite, even more incompetent than the average billionaire parasite, and would have simply squandered his ill-gotten money on something else.

So Apartheid Boy just said the quiet part out loud?

Color me surprised.

Let’s jusy call it Shitter, then.

There are some countries in Africa that isn’t impoverished enough yet.

I remember when I was growing up,

You remember propaganda (when corporations do it, it’s called “Public Relations”).

That’s what you remember. Now, thanks to the internet democratizign information somewhat, they don’t just get to feed us their “public relations” anymore. Now people can counter that shit, and people see them for what they really are - parasites.

It’s capitalism, baby. Welcome to the real world.

I’d like to implant something in Elon’s brain. It’s called a pick-axe handle.

One of many. And we do it for free, too.

No, I’m not. And yet people still invite me to theirs.

fighting fascism with fascism

Good God but you are dense. Have you ever seen liberals oppose fascism in any way whatsoever? Why would they oppose the very thing that allows the liberal order to exist in the first place?

how the fuck do you expect liberals to protect the status quo against violence?

With fascists. That’s how, Clyde.

That seems counter intuitive, this is literally an impossible proposal here.

Don’t tell me it’s impossible. Tell it to the liberals who applauded Biden when he added more armed fascist goons to the streets when people were demanding he defund and/or abolish them.

Doesn’t seem that impossible to them, does it?

I needed an ELI5 really.

Liberals essentially cover for both capitalists and fascists. See, capitalist and fascist ideology are very unpopular on their own, so liberals come up with all kinds of ways to pretend that rich people owning everything is good for everyone (capitalism) or pretending that more police repression means more safety (fascism).

Liberalsm essentially acts as the pretend-friendly “facade” ideology of this unholy trio - so yes, it’s simply coherent for leftists to despise liberalism.

The very last line is redundant. If you don’t know by now what the critical role fascism plays in the liberal order is, I don’t know what to tell you.

wait, why are we holding liberals responsible?

You mean, apart from the fact that liberals cannot protect the status quo without violent fascists and therefore protects and enables fascism?

Apart from that?

If you call yourself a “conservative” you’re either a fascist or a liberal that just isn’t quite there yet.

If you’re going to “chase your dreams,” it might be a good idea to first figure out whether they actually really are yours.

Hard yes from me, thank you.
