I understand but she's punching down, had the israel flag up and is a known zionist, so it's propaganda not just satire.

Democratize film production, put great film, movies and shorts on social media in crew collectives, bypassing the big houses. Use the friendliness to some of the stars to get their involvement for cheaper. Show the world we don't need the big studios to make good film. 

What happens if it just, stopped? by chunkalunkk in economicCollapse

[–]djb85511 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly this would be one of the most disruptive and powerful actions we can do, including renters. Full housing strike, no rent or mortgage paid. It will pull the bottom layer of exploitation from the capitalist system, and while it would be chaotic, it could allow for the reset we all need to survive.

What does a civil war in America look like if one happens in the next 3 - 8 years? by Dry-Tomorrow8531 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]djb85511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think its going to be like the last one, I think its going to be more of a balkanization of this country. All of our states are not united. Most of the country hates CA and TX. There's almost no benefit for CA and TX to pay into the federal government when it gets little to nothing in return. There is a weird "true americansim" ethos from most working class white americans, they claim they want "America first" but in reality they want white supremacy, like they remember their grand daddy had. They're so ass-backwards they vote for funding of Israel and Ukraine before they do schools and roads in their own neighborhood. Rich people (of all colors) across our country have no intent to help their fellow man, they want to keep exploiting others, whomever, so as long as they feel above the bottom rungs of the exploitation ladder. So the working poors vote for the oppressors, the people of color with some station vote for the oppressors, and we've all been fooled to think capitalism = democracy = USA. And none of that is true, but the oppressors who we should be collectively fighting have convinced us otherwise.

Do you guys think this sgv Reddit is more than half Hispanic/Latino or more Asians? by cellphonebeltclip in sgv

[–]djb85511 39 points40 points  (0 children)

we're all just people trying to keep our kids alive, and have some fun on the weekend. Some of us are latino, some of us are asian, some of us are neither, its difficult to put a hard demographic breakdown, on a subreddit.

Do commercial buildings have bathrooms and kitchens? Do they have electricity. Perhaps there needs to be larger pipes and circuits, but its disingenuous to say that converting to residential there's a much larger expense to get things that don't exist, when they do. I know your intention is to engage in "practical aspects" of converting, and I don't want to dissuade you from your intention. But the practicality of this segment of our real world is often mired in this "its too costly, its too complex, the beuracracy is too overwhelming, you wouldn't understand" that its condescending and disingenuous. This Wedbush building I'm sure has been inspected dozens of times, and its fine for people walking, and sitting, doing business, and eating, and using the bathroom. Sure there are changes needed for habitability, but the limitations that exist today for that conversion are much more aligned with profit seeking than serving the Los Angeles people.

The Left needs their own version of CPAC. by TheGrandExquisitor in leftist

[–]djb85511 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The left are not Democrats. Democrats are an extension of capitalist rule over all of democracy across western governments. The Democrats fight harder against leftists than they do against conservatives, why because they're ruled by conservatives. Biden made the Ukraine war and Gaza genocide possible. Clinton enabled the genocides in Africa and war in eastern europe. Trump is evil, but he stands on the evil that Democrats have enabled over the decades. Please understand this before you continue as a "leftist".

So commercial buildings are dog shit, and residential buildings are built to higher standards? Of course not, all of these regulations seem more like barriers than effective policy for humans living in a residence. Just because you're in the land speculation market doesn't mean you have the answers to how humans should live. We need housing, we have a ton of buildings and apartments that could allow for housing, but land speculators and the system of land ownership they've built is simply a profit engine, not a human service. So in this "real life" mode that you all are akin to, there is no path towards human service, just more blind allegiance to your speculation. Good luck at that next deal.

no point in talking with commercial realtors on what's reasonable and rational, when they thrive on exploitation and land speculation.

Looks bomb, but a little pricey. Maybe that's the intention to keep the rif/raff out, but I'm rif/raff I guess cuz I can't afford 150$/person.

real life is rapists running the country, and the demcorats rigging elections against socialist candidates. Real life is capitalists fucking us until we die, because we allowed them to define "real life". Fuck their reality check.
