When does a cell realize it's part of a larger body? Does the cell owe the body, or does the body owe the cell? Are we becoming cells of a larger body? Sometimes I think so

They're all cowards! Why, if I was in that line, I'd charge right at the farmer. If they don't fight unilaterally or successfully convince the other sheep, then they deserve to be butchered. 🇪🇺

Always so quick to advocate for violence and unrest in someone else’s country.

I’m assuming you’re not Americans, because, if you were, surely we’d be hearing about your heroic violence on the news right now.

You're subjected to violence every day by our government, the entire oligarchy of Democrats and Republicans. You sit back and accept it. But when our own working class advocates for collectivism to fight against that government, liberals always try to talk it down. The biggest obstacles to progress have always been Democrats.

When the body detects an ill cell, it purges it as soon as possible to prevent larger cascade failures. Sickness are body process iregularities caused by one or more contingencies failing.

Something had to have worked before, that we started noticing it is effecting us now. That applies to society especially.

Blame it on people saying now is not the time if you want, but the other reason there's no resistance is people saying, "We should start a resistance," and not starting one. Seems like people are waiting for somebody to put revolution in front of them as an option they can click on.

That's not a revolution, it's a riot. People get very bold when they've got the cover of a crowd.

Revolutionaries have a much bigger job. They're trying to mobilize a durable coalition of working people. And plenty of people try to chase that dream. Most just fail. And who can blame them? It's an arduous exhausting dream to pursue, and not very glamourous, particularly at the start.

Have a bit of grace. Not everyone is blessed with the knowledge, the talent, and the opportunity to pioneer an economy shifting revolution.

So, funny story about that funny story...

The CIA covertly funded and helped produce the 1954 animated film adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. As a Cold War propaganda tool, the agency bought the rights from Orwell's widow, hired a British studio to hide U.S. involvement, and changed the story's ending to promote an anti-communist message.

Don't you know that famous Lenin quote about how everyone needs to vote for revolution as a write in candidate?

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Well we didn't have these magic boxes in every corner of our planet, always within line of sight of every human being alive, constantly whispering things to irritate, anger, divide and corrupt every aspect of society.

So there's that.

Also we used to execute or exile people the group found distasteful, which certainly has its own issues.

Always so quick to advocate for violence and unrest in someone else’s country. I’m assuming you’re not Americans, because, if you were, surely we’d be hearing about your heroic violence on the news right now.

What do you expect after the USA does shit like the Iron River?

Always so quick to create violence and unrest in someone else's country. Always so quick to cry when you're told you need to sacrifice everything to change anything. "Oh but my job, my healthcare, my life, my feelings, my comfort, my stuff". Dude. Not a single American is innocent to us anymore at this point. All thanks to mindsets like yours.

We Mexicans cannot do shit to the cartels that run our government thanks to America pouring over 200,000+ firearms every year into our country, which is currently costing us 30,000+ innocent people every year, that's over 200+ 9/11s every year, over 30,000+ permanently-traumatized families, creating this disgusting, depressing, violent, sad, stressful environment that kills everyone young unless you're rich and a psychopath, you know? All those firearms fall on hands of the cartels, not the people, weird, no? Not only that, but 7 major American gun manufacturers have been sued by Mexico, (Estados Unidos Mexicanos v. Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., et al.) for doing marketing that appeals to the cartel members, for example:

-Colt .38 Super "Emiliano Zapata 1911": Features an engraving of revolutionary figure Emiliano Zapata on the slide along with his famous quote: "Es mejor morir de pie que vivir de rodillas" ("It is better to die standing than to live on your knees")

-Colt .38 Super "El Jefe": Designed with gold trim and custom grips targeting buyers seeking status-symbol sidearms.

-Colt .38 Super "El Grito": Commemorating Mexican independence imagery, heavily sought after on the black market due to the legal restriction on civilian caliber ownership in Mexico.

Now we cannot do shit in our country. We are not armed, and we are young and ignorant and uneducated. I did my homework of learning your language to communicate these pleas and cries, but you know what has been the overall response I get back? Insults, blaming us, demanding obedience and silence too. You never talk or give a fuck about the Iron River, you do nothing to stop it, it's been 25+ years of lies from both sides. Republicans are the worst, they started it, and are very pro-gun, at least Democrats tried dismantling the PLCAA, but they failed. The lawsuit failed too, by the way, the USA argued that " the U.S. courts view the "Iron River" as a criminal law enforcement and border issue rather than a civil tort liability problem for American corporations. Whoopsie, too bad, have fun leading with all those FunkyTown-snuff-video-esque tortures your children are going through hehe, we love making money off that. We give it to the Jeffrey Epstein Class so they can buy some little girls to rape. So they can pay the wages of their bodyguards and people who kidnap those little children for them hehe, USA USA USA! Everyone paid this with their taxes. They never tried hard enough to stop all those people who make guns, bombs and bullets. Never."

I am tired of that shit, man. Why the fuck aren't you doing shit yet? Should we help China instead? I mean, we already are thanks to Trump's tariffs. We are eager to help them come here, build whatever they need near the border, like military bases, and finally remove this violent, mentally ill disgusting animal we have above us. We are open to save half of the country, the good Americans that don't deserve to die because of the actions of some dumbass MAGAs, but, dude, do not make that harder for us, please. Do not talk like a MAGA ever again in your life. Only MAGAs are the fucking cowards in your country. Not you. And no, I'm not telling you to go outside and get yourself in trouble alone, you can do so much with your words online, do not waste them like this.

When they do, like promoting Hasan Piker, one of your best choices right now, you go on and spout MAGA hoaxes like "he zaps his dog" "he is very evil" or shit you should already know how to dismantle like "he said America deserved 9/11".

You always show more scrutiny to your own people than the enemy.

You are like religious people. Always waiting for a "perfect figure" to do everything for them, because they don't have what it takes to do it themselves. You are like a toxic DPS in a videogame. You blame the Tank for everything. The Healers too. You want them to carry you, to do everything for you, to tank all the damage for you, to cover you, to be "absolute professional perfection" so you can get the "clean kills" and then act like the hero of the story. If you win, "gg ez", if you lose, "it's all your fault but mine". Literally.

Always demanding all the reward while shifting all the risk, effort, and accountability onto others.

Brother, even a person like Miss Rachel was called a demon. No matter who you find, MAGAs will make up lies about them. So why not join Hasan Piker or any other figure like him already? They are the closest you have to a "revolution". It is still in the process of spreading class consciousness, you cannot jump to the pitchforks without first convincing everyone why first, but it is getting there, look at how many people disagree with Israel now compared to Oct 7. How angry people are with the Jeffrey Epstein Class too. Rightfully so, don't you think?

It is also thanks to people like Hasan that I, a Mexican who has seen the USA fund the Iron River with their taxes for over 25+ years, the Iron River which is getting 30,000+ innocent people killed in my country every year, that is over 200+ 9/11s every year just to please their greed and sadism, that I still have room of hope for you. If it wasn't for Hasan, I'd probably be giving a lot of my money and work to the cartel right now, filling your country with fentanyl out of anger and betrayal.

Why do leftists silence people like that? Not saying you do, maybe you don't know Hasan or whatever, but, that is what always happens regarding this topic: Leftists behaving like toxic DPS, like religious people sacrificing millions of innocent lives just to "wait for the perfect man to take leadership".

It's all of us or nothing. All at the same time.

Dunno how my little comment was worth all that, but I think you're quite right. In many ways liberals tend to be moral perfectionists who sabotage their own cause by obsessing on the imperfections of their best people - and compounding it by saying anyone who doesn't demonize Great But Not Perfect Person X is complicit in whatever offense Person X committed, such as Liking the wrong tweet. Conservatives tend to behave like team players with a "nobody's perfect" philosophy, which gives them the advantage in the numbers game.

Revolution is not adventurism, revolution requires creating a trained group of disciplined revolutionaries that can agitate and educate the rest of the working class on the necessity for socialism and the correct path to getting there.

Oh I am, but if I had to pick just one to focus on, I'd rather focus on the Republicans.

Seems pretty roundabout to do it the other way. If you had to pick just one party to focus your effort to stopping, why go for diet fascists when you can attack fascism prime?
