The elite must be shitting themselves about how much joy us poors are finding out of this.
If corporations can convince people that Coke is better than Pepsi … or vice versa … then it will just take time to make people forget about all this. They can market and promote any idea … just some ideas are more expensive to promote than others … and it will take them a lot of time and effort to spin this story in their favour … but eventually, they always do.
I don’t like to admit that people are complacent … but hell, we’ve all got a great track record for it … I hope not this time, but I’ve been disappointed far too many times before.
Everyday we all get up and make capitalism happen. It’s up to us to stop making it.
You first. I like food
I do my best and buy about half my food from local farmers (and that isn’t easy in northern Ontario, especially during winter) … a bit expensive, but so is buying from the grocery store too, so it works out.
I live in the suburbs so Sprouts is the closest I get to “local”. I keep chickens and a garden but most of my food comes from Kroger. It is what it is.
I gotta go to work.
You can still take steps to undermine the system while your forced participation is taking place. You could try local farmers markets, used goods, and the always fruitful five finger discount.
Very true. You can also decide not to pay for IP which is a lie anyway and freely watch and listen to and read whatever you like, play all the games that are not gambling dens in a box and use libre software whenever you can and most importantly tell all your friends about it.
just Gonna leave this here since you mentioned it… https://github.com/recloudstream/cloudstream
Thats pretty awesome. Thanks for mentioning it.
Every year I grow more food than the previous year. Someday I’m hoping to grow most of my non-meat items and then fork over the money for local organic meat and freeze it.
I’m no good with crops, but our salad/salsa garden is successful.
If you’re allowed them, laying hens are stupid easy to keep. I don’t do roasters because we have a 5 bird limit in our suburb and honestly harvesting chickens is messy and time consuming.
E: oh, and free range eggs will absolutely ruin you for regular eggs. It’s like the difference in one of your tomatoes and the ones from the grocery.
I’ve had multiple unsuccessful attempts at a garden but two successful attempts with livestock: Pigs and chickens. It’s helpful that they make noise when there’s something wrong.
+1 for free range eggs. Plus there’s no bugs in your yard. Where I live now I can’t keep chickens but I’m allowed to have ducks, so I think I’ll do that in the spring.
We ended up with some Easter ducks and now everyone prefers duck eggs. They are more consistent winter layers too.

Many people do not know this but it is true.
In a capitalist society, farms produce food to make money, not to feed people.
I also like food, which is why I hate capitalism
(Under capitalism it’s profits over people. Profits over feeding people. How could you ever justify food insecurity in a country like the US otherwise?)
STOP CALLING THEM ELITE.
The word ‘elite’ implies they are societies best. These rich dregs keep dragging us down.
Whenever I hear the rich described as “the elite”, my brain immediately converted it to ThE eLiTe
Meh, the connotation is still clear.
How about we just airquote them? The „Elite“ sounds condescending enough imo
Parasite works for me.
I assumed we always were
Yeah trying to find the perfect words is counterproductive. We just need to eat the rich. We’re not literally eating them but everybody knows what that means.
True, if you look at people taking power and control in MAGA America, many are there because of their white skin and not resume or skill
Scum floats to the top.
They’re rent-seeking parasites
I call them the leech class.
Call them gentry
I keep scrolling the news to see if they know anything new about him, and they know absolutely nothing. It’s amazing.
Or at least they have released nothing.
Which would mean either they don’t want to catch him (because even the police hate CEOs), or what they do know makes them look even worse (because he’s mocking them, or should be easy to find with what they know).
The resemblance is actually kind of uncanny
I am Spartacus!
I am Brian and so is my Wife
you know people tend to forget they all got crucified for this.
it’s the price some people are willing to pay
They were gonna get killed either way.
Will people really go there or is this a joke?
They fucking Naruto ran at Area 51… It could happen
They ran around in a town outside groom lake and never really approached the base because they wisely understood they would all be killed.
People gathered to take pictures in front of a bunch of cringing guards and no one was angry about anything. Everyone is actually angry over this so I’d say people may show.
OK but in terms of your comment, it didn’t happen, nothing changed, and the event was ultimately a complete failure. So not really a great comparison.

Did someone get shot?
I don’t believe so, but that was in Navada. It was just a big alien themed party. People had fun and left.
In NYC though…people + fun???
It was a big IRL shitpost and it managed to draw a couple hundred people to the desert. Actually wholesome all said and done.
The boss move would be for the killer to go there.
imagine if he turns up and no one knew
What they needed was an archery contest if they wanted to catch him.
This whole thing feels right out of a comic book or a movie. That’s exactly how it would go down too.
required DNA test to claim prize!
Sure would be a shame if people mass produced AI imagery to give false leads…
Goodness, sure would be a shame if someone told me where I could do that.
The biggest player is a company called EviCore by Evernorth…
Just a letter off from “EvilCore” - could they be any more on-the-nose?
Wasn’t it Evil Corp in Mr Robot too?
Looks a bit like Will Smith to me.
Or, maybe, Lucy Liu.
Or, maybe, Patrick Stewart.
Or maybe, Elmer Fudd.
Hard to pin to down. Sorry. No, I probably couldn’t pick him or her out of a line-up.
While we have Nick Fuentes under arrest let’s charge him with this too.
The backpack is the Everyday Backpack from Peak Design!
I need help identifying the jacket though. I wanna cosplay assassin-kun!
Don’t give them any more leads.

Im a 200kg non electromagnetic inflammable pasteurized bio-hazardous kosher neo-green hair colored gal but Ill still attend.
This is clearly Måns Zelmerlöw
I’m pretty sure that’s Idina Menzel.
Cops should just puts on sunglasses let it go.
Someone told me it was the wickedly talented Adele Dazeem.
Isn’t that Christian Bale?
Naw, it’s James Franco!
But also this guy in the pic has been shown to be the wrong guy. Smile guy is wearing totally different stuff.
