    de-reaction-speed — Wait. You’re also a communist who thinks anyone rich is evil.

    lt-kitsuragi — The lieutenant’s eyes pierce you from behind the thick glass of his spectacles. He seems staggeringly tense.

        The comic is also telling on how so many Americans (boomers at least) think communism is primarily about enforcing atheism and persecuting the religious.

        If communists are not anti American, why do some of them say “death to America”? I’m genuinely curious, I’ve been trying to understand alternate perspectives but it is confusing reading some of the communist interactions on lemmy. Are they trying to be ironic, or are those just foreign propaganda trolls, or do some communists actually want to see a whole country burn, innocent children and all? Is it an inside joke that I just won’t get because I’m a “stupid lib”?

          We are anti-america, they’re pointing out the irony of using the 13 stripes, referring to the original colonies, in a communist America fantasy.

          Also, it’s death to America, not death to Americans, i.e the military-industrial complex, exploitation of the global south, and related culture that masquerades as a country. Most people would rather that didn’t mean reducing the country to ash, but revolution and dissolution of the current state.

          America is the most evil entity the world has ever encountered in the history of time itself

          It has done more harm to more people in more ways than any other in the history of the world, and it’s still doing it now, poisoning the future of humanity

          Death to America

          “Death to America” doesn’t refer to killing every person in America, it refers to the death of a nation-state and the ideology it’s built upon.

          Leftists use this term to advocate for the abolition of things like: fascist police death squads that kill disproportionately lower income and black/brown people indiscriminately and with impunity, the ending of American imperialism that immiserates the entire world while poisoning our planet, the end of neoliberal institutions (which we created) that enforce structural inequality across the entire world (like the IMF), ending nuclear holocaust and weapons proliferation, the evisceration of the bourgeois class that has plundered and profiteered off the natural resources we need to survive, etc; all of which are hallmarks of American structure.

          Of course, too - to make an omelet, first you have to crack a few eggs.

          no, we’re definitely anti-amerikkkan, death to amerikkka, they’re saying that if we created a new flag it wouldn’t include any bourgeois atavisms such as the 13 settler colonial stripes. lol, is this a bit? no communist wants to see “a whole country burn, innocent children and all”, that’s what amerikkka does, in Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc., we want to see whole class of the bourgeoisie burn and their class collaborators to liberate the working class.

            So if I say Death to Russia, everyone should know that I’m only referring to Putin and his ruling class of cronies, not the Russian people?

              We don’t like Putin either, but also when centrists say stuff like that they don’t mean it and would gladly watch an entire ethnicity die just so they could feel safer. It doesn’t come off as honest.

                What is a centrist to you? I don’t think I am one. I’ve never voted for war nor ever wanted any ethnicity to die. But I don’t personally have any control over what my government does.

                  Do you want things to change? Does your organizing or actions in politics make conservatives mad and call you a red? then youre not a centrist.

                  If you dont care about things and the conservatives call you a lib, youre probably a centrist.

          https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2021/09/cdc-eviction-ban-housing-crisis/619960/

          In October 2008, responding to a dramatic increase in such evictions since 2006, Tom Dart, the elected Sheriff of Cook County, Illinois, decided to take a stand on the issue. He criticized mortgage companies for failing to fulfill their obligation to identify renters in foreclosed properties, and announced that he was suspending all foreclosure evictions immediately. The Illinois Banker’s Association accused Dart of engaging in “vigilantism”.[32]

      Family, religion, friendship. These are the three demons you must if you wish to succeed in business.

      There’s no question that one cannot accrue billions of dollars without being a vile person and I doubt most of them could spare their loved ones from that wickedness.

        i think he’s just the natural consequence of reddit

        the platform was big enough, inevitably someone in its userbase was already going to be born into the capitalist class. By simple dint of having money and knowing memes, reddit formed an echochamber around him and turned him into the nexus of every Silly-con Valley hype bubble.

        I mean this happened to me on a lesser scale. My grandfather was petite bourgeois levels of rich and a massive asshole to everyone. He was a role model for me, just an overwhelmingly negative one. I learned early that money and even small amounts of power can turn you into a removed.

    Elon Musk has like 26 illegitimate children by 22 mothers and doesn’t pay child support or acknowledge half of em. He pays underlings at his work to fuck him and have his children, he is obsessed with spreading his seed. If I were his kid I wouldn’t just hate him because he’s rich, I would just hate him because he’s an evil bastard and shitty man child that can’t be a father

      Most billionaires have people in their lives who aren’t simply paid yes-men. Musk is incapable of handling negative feedback. He can’t go to therapy because he’d walk out.

      But also all the billionaires are evil.
