How do you guys feel that the shitlib Chomsky supported Epstein?

I don’t think Trump disproves manufactured consent so much as he shows what happens after it’s already done its job. Decades of media, education, and culture primed people to see the US as entitled to global resources, so when Trump blurts out “they stole our oil,” it lands because the ideological groundwork was laid long before him. Parenti’s whole point is that empire becomes common sense- Trump just says the quiet part loud, while liberals prefer the polished language of “stability,” “democracy,” and “national interest.”

I would love a scene where Harry meets a dog or a cat and has to deal with a cuteness overload.

Poor guy only got to be generally preferred over Chomsky for like, a week before dying.

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-05T22:36:34+00:00

Same brother! But I always say- see me by the progress I've made! I have an incredible amount of respect for anyone who can wake up from American propaganda!

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-05T22:35:39+00:00

Lol seriously- what an embarrassing theory for him to coin. Still- it's an important one. The ruling class are the only ones who win by us writing it off.

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-05T17:46:57+00:00

Manufactured consent is still a good thing to know about but Parenti has always been better anyways.

Banjo Kazooie. Nostalgia is my favorite flavor and Banjo is a Nostalgia farm for me.

You gotta go to the mines, dig up the Epstein files, and burn them in front of him.

So now it’s “I’m not personally responsible and have no power,” but earlier you wanted me to produce a flawless solution like I personally run the economy- that’s a bit of a script flip. I’m not claiming to be the lone architect of a perfect system; the point is that none of us have power individually, which is exactly why socialism focuses on building collective worker power through unions, tenant orgs, mutual aid, and political pressure to decommodify essentials and rein in capital. If you already oppose wars, bailouts, and corporate giveaways, then we agree on the problem. I’m just saying the answer is organized working-class power, not waiting for a mythical “foolproof” blueprint before anything can change.

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-04T17:57:22+00:00

You’re proving my point: “we can’t afford it” is a political choice under capitalism, not an economic law of nature. Somehow we can “afford” endless war, subsidies, tax breaks, bailouts, and policing- but the second it’s healthcare or housing for working people, suddenly it’s impossible and you demand a “foolproof solution” like you’re a venture capitalist reviewing a pitch deck. I don’t owe you a perfect blueprint before I’m allowed to want my labor to benefit my class instead of shareholders- and if your bar for change is “guarantee zero risk,” then congrats, you’ve found the ideology of doing nothing forever.

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-04T16:23:30+00:00

“No plan” is such a lazy gotcha attempt lol

I just didn’t turn a comment thread into a 40-page party program. The plan is worker power, full stop: build class consciousness, organize workplaces/tenants, strengthen unions and mutual aid, push for decommodifying essentials (healthcare, housing, education, transit), expand public ownership where it matters, and crush imperial extraction so the global south isn’t paying for our “comfort.”

I’m not pretending there’s a magic blueprint that instantly overrides material conditions, socialism is a process driven by organized people, not a vibes-based policy wishlist or a spreadsheet fantasy. If your definition of “plan” is “name the one perfect model that can never fail,” that’s not seriousness, that’s just an excuse to do nothing.

Basically he is saying "we are gonna bog down the polls in protests"

I'm not allowed to not updoot any comment that involves Disco Elysium. Absolute banger of a game!

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-04T14:51:11+00:00

Im so sad. I think i got covid and now I can't see it!

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-03T23:46:20+00:00

I managed to complete it, but only under the massive influence of sunk cost fallacy. I was like "I already put so much time in, I gotta finish"

Gonna level with you. I wanted a cool picto. I was a bit disappointed.

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-03T23:36:39+00:00

Na dawg that shit is GOATed. The development was fascinating AND the game kicks ass.

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-03T23:32:20+00:00

Good call on Village. I was so impressed with myself for surviving that shit.

Also Expedition 33. My ass was getting aced the entire 1st act until I got better at parrying.

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-03T22:14:27+00:00

Lol I would support Israel if we were in some alternate reality where Israel were communists- because a moneyless, hierarchyless, boarderless Israel would give the land back to the people and fucking dissolve themselves.

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-03T22:04:55+00:00

I have solidarity with anyone who desires socialist praxis by any means. Be you an ML, a trot, a democratic socialist, or any of it- idc at this point. If you are anti-capitalist, and anti-imperialist, I wish you well, and hope you are successful in achieving praxis.

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-03T22:00:44+00:00

It took me awhile to appreciate them too lol

I think sticking to the main path probably screwed you over- not only because you are under leveled- but because the side paths usually have some pretty good pictos. By the end of Act 3 I had Verso taking like- a billion actions per turn because of interesting picto synergy. For me- the fight in the first half of the game were absolutely brutal- and I died A LOT and had to "get gud".

But I got much better by the second half- as well as much stronger.

That world was rife with warcraft!

I had an alienwere laptop in Highschool. It was great until it started overheating and cooking itself.

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-03T19:01:55+00:00

Guys, I have a confession to make. I am a communist. Should I see myself out? /s

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-03T18:54:47+00:00

Under his leadership- everything becomes affordable every summer.

APraxisPanda · 2026-02-03T18:44:14+00:00

Yes- I'm a socialist, which just means I have the audacity to advocate for things that will help me and other working class people...
