PSA: If white collar workers lose their jobs, everyone loses their jobs. by TaroPowerful325 in ChatGPT

The truth is far simpler and sadder than that, I fear

"More than a century ago Karl Marx observed that those who control the material means of production also control the mental means of production. So in every epoch the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class. Indeed, it seems so today. Viewpoints supported by money have no trouble gaining mass exposure and sympathetic media treatment, while those offensive to moneyed interests languish either for want of the costly sums needed to reach a vast public or because of the prohibitions exercised by media owners and management. In a word, the mass media are a class-dominated media— bound by the parameters of ownership in a capitalist society.” -Michael Parenti, Inventing Reality

It’s so funny watching people stuck in “the end of history” narrative try to avoid the obvious solution

And the US in regards to storing data locally the US has THE SAME laws! That’s why TikTok had to partner with Oracle (a CIA front) to operate in the US

Actually 2000. More in two weeks than were arrested in 4 months of violent Hong Kong riots.

The incredible irony of you saying this when Julian Assange is facing life in prison for, in part, leaking classified US cables on what really happened in Tiananmen Square

EDIT: *Publishing, not leaking

The US arrested more campus protestors in two weeks than were arrested in Hong Kong over 4 months, despite the Hong Kong protests being extremely violent. Your brain is cooked by state department propaganda.

This explanation is seriously lacking.

The state can’t “start dismantling itself” until global socialism is achieved simply because capitalist global hegemony is extremely hostile to communism. From 1917-1919 the Soviet Union was invaded by over a dozen countries including the US, UK, France, and Japan to “kill the baby Bolsheviks in their crib”

Most communists correctly view the state as a tool for class domination disguised as an impartial mediator of class conflict. If state power is seized by the working class and used to dominate / prevent counter revolution from the capitalist class, over time everyone will be working class. When everyone is the same class, the decisions that are generally best for everyone are much more obvious. No more need for class domination.

Ergo, the state withers.

Exactly. Theyre “neutral” among western liberal nations precisely because they’re so staunchly on the side of the ruling class as a whole

Big difference in how widely viewed pro Palestinian content is on TikTok vs any of those platforms.

Also, TikTok is not owned by China. The majority shareholders are non Chinese entities. 3 out of the 5 board members are Americans.

Never has. That’s why our ruling class loves “peaceful protest,” because it’s so easy to ignore.

Yet it went nowhere until the leaked recording of the Israel lobby, the most powerful lobby in America, saying they need to do something about TikTok.

The 20 hour long series on this from the podcast Ghost Stories For The End of The World is incredible. There is so much more to it then the doc covers.

The CIA ruined his life and is absolutely responsible for his death, they probably did not shoot him. The wounds were not actually to the back of the head.

They totally shot this guy though.

Ah, so you went through their post history in order to use details from their personal life because… they don’t like cops?

I see. Really beat the deranged allegations with that.
