    Cassandra’s Curse is a mythological curse placed upon the Trojan princess Cassandra by the god Apollo, which ensured that while she could accurately foretell the future, her prophecies would never be believed by anyone.

    I’m bitter and angry over having had to fight so many useful idiots. Yea I’ve been one too, but fuck man, grand conspiracies WERE happening and the victims were desperately trying to tell you THE WHOLE TIME!

    You must understand people that tried got their confidence shot. They questioned their sanity for over a decade. Thought maybe they are the bad people for thinking this was happening. It makes you distrust everyone especially when you’ve been through that trauma.

    Meh yall are in the same boat so you get it.

    We have solved the contradictions of capitalism by making workers into consumers, which means we are free to exploit the workers harder and harder until they can no longer consume.

    🤡

  • That’s just pure idealism lol. Sure, the material conditions in that single moment favoured a proletariat that had more to lose by revolting than accepting their oppression.

    But for a CEO of a Bank, you’d think he’d have figured out that if your economic system relies on the circulation of currency, yet is administered by an industry that is underpinned by people not circulating currency, eventually either your bank collapses or the economic system does.

    people now prefer consumer goods over social justice.

    Except that it’s harder to get consumer goods now with the prices of goods skyrocketing (like iPhones). And with the fed govt bringing imperialism home, what do you think that leaves people to focus on, hmm?

    Also, gawd dayum that was sum racism “hip blacks in hip cars with white women” and “bought off by Jay Z”. Dayum.

    It’s not that people prefer Consumption over Justice, Social Justice has become the consumer good, that’s the real kicker. They even turned the Epstein Files into a reality TV show. They know libs will forget about all this by 2027

    Fortunately their power is declining and fracturing and no amount of idealism can save them from it.
