Absolutely. Germany also has huge assets in the car industry. VW, one of the worst offenders ans whose chairmen were recently sentenced to jail for their own mass murder (through exhaust fume manipulation) and still got off easy.

In my opinion, the modus operandi of these people (lobbyist politicians) is always the same. Defund, destabilize and disable.

You can look at the legislation and apply normal due diligence. Iirc they are also disabling parts of the railway network. You can check the CCCs work on this. They have large groups of people working on this. https://media.ccc.de/ is pretty good for cold analysis of technical stuff. They also unveiled the sabotage of the polish train system.

Trump is doing these things more openly now but I’ll bet anything you can find the pattern, just not as easy.

Its no conspiracy theory. You can absolutely prove their intent. The idea is to privatize all transportation (and all infrastructure and basic needs). To do that the people need some convincing since bahn is partially state owned. That of course needs to change. Otherwise profit wont go as high and regulations for passenger safety cant be avoided as easily.

I’m reading about this a lot recently. Especially outside of western “free speech media” (read: propaganda outlets), the view is kinda different. Some people from donetsk were reporting their native russian language and ideology being forcefully repressed. I’m not saying that is what actually happened. It is what I heard from people claiming to be from there. Paired with accounts of ukraine being allegedly coup’d twice by the west and building up arms, allegedly to repress separatist movements and preparing to sell off most of the country to the west (something I read today but no idea if it is what happened).

So, in my humble opinion, there is no clear morality to this. Compared with videos of men in ukraine being kidnapped off the street and brought to the front to be detonated by a drone, russia isn’t great either but I dont see the moral binarity that you seem to do.

Its schroedingers everything outside nato. Russia is both completely incompetent but will overrun germany tomorrow (not joking, thats how german fear media argues). China is infiltrating the whole world with infrastructure that is both supporting terror regimes and too cheap to last a week, same as their engineers being slaves and building the most advanced buildings in the world.

I could go on for days. I recently dropped out of the brainwash machine and i’m regularly speechless of the mountain of lies.

Is there any literature on how the west was able to build this manipulation empire?

Awesome! I run a luanti server (essentially open source minecraft).

I really appreciate this comment. It basically puts my general direction into words. I have constant discussions with healthy white folks with a bachelors degree and nearly six figures who say socialism is a nice idea but… It makes my skin crawl. I have lived through starvation and homelessness. it is incredibly hard to stay friendly in the face of such privilege.

You just broke my brain. Thanks for this. :)

And another banger. Thank you for this on point explanation. :)

I dont know if I find this funny. Its a naked capitalism thing. It breeds lonelyness and even profits from its treatment - not its cure of course, dont be naive. Its basic empathy to understand this stuff imo.

It does however make me wanna do things to entitys that is written down in certain books and bears significant penalties.

With pleasure! Thanks, comrade. :)

As in not libertarian socialism (which anarchists are described as in the anarchcist faq). The “dictature of the proletariat” thing. Maybe I’m mixing up terms here. Not sure.

That is the reason mostly why i went from anarchism to classic socialism.

I read about anarchism and found huge hierarchies in local groups which were really aggressive when I pointed that out. That gave me the impression that its the same thing but less transparent and easily abused.

I’m sure that is not the case everywhere but thats when I noped out and went classic socialist, etc.

Marxist-Leninist? Or do you mean which features?

I mean that some agitators use similar rhetoric (as in strong focus on class, pointing out state propaganda, militant tendencies, etc.) some even show anti imperialist patterns. I’m glad they exist. I just wonder because IRL, the anarchists I know have zero understanding of the capitalism-fascism contingency for example. The agitators mostly do know it and point it out imo which I like.

Those who have listened to and understood his speeches will probably think even more so. Its crazy. As if he’s actually just playing the exact role.

I’ve gone through many of your ppsts and comnents since you happen to come up a lot, mostly with great takes.

I think it takes time and practice to get really good at something but you def have wit. If you decide to test it, hit me up. :)

I’m game, are you?

Imo the answer is always either tax dodging, law dodging or similar goals.

“Make it be legal”

I’m nearing 40 so I’m geriatric as well i guess.

I worked A LOT of different jobs in my life. Grew up dirt poor in a rich country, dropped out of school and clawed my way up.

Started as a carpenters help, then electrical work, then apprenticeship in a cruel industry, long before I understood the system.

Long story short, I went employer and tried to do ethically organized with fair shares etc but got coopted by someone. The system is cutthroat if you go that route.

Then went back to self employed but I’m trying to build a coop for quite some time. Problem is people i met so far in the business I’m in are too comfy to take responsibility, at least where I live currently.

I would go back to an office if I had to but I would absolutely not help exploit people anymore.
