lol yeah that's a funny one. I think there's "critical" Marx exegesis that does mention his "problematic" views (from a modern leftie viewpoint).

I think Marx was a smart guy but communism is just retarded because the human doesn't work that way. Case closed.
Marx was a "smart guy" the way any wordcel who crawls up his own ass and manages to convince himself reality doesn't exist is. In other words, he uses mental gymnastics and verbal fog to come to idiotic conclusions, which certainly takes a high IQ, but should impress nobody. Here's my favorite stupid Marx quote:

For as soon as the distribution of labour comes into being, each man has a particular exclusive sphere of activity, which is forced upon him and from which he cannot escape. He is a hunter, a fisherman, a shepherd, or a critical critic and must remain so if he does not wish to lose his means of livelihood; while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, to fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have in mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.

Nobody talks about this because it's so incredibly fucking retarded. Yet it's at the core of Marx's ideology. Marx believed all injustice flowed from the inequality intrinsic to the division of labor, therefore, in the communist society, there would be no division of labor at all, no specialists, no careers, nothing like that. The magic of communism would unlock human potential so that every individual would be better at all things simultaneously than the most skilled expert is at anything under capitalism. You'd just randomly do different jobs all the time, sometimes switching jobs multiple times per day, with Society guiding your hand.
 
Do the commies know their biggest contributor is from one of the faces of capitalism?
Yes, they don't care. If it means hurting white people and or western civilization they'll happily ally with even the most corrupt and monopolistic of corporations.

The modern racial Communism isn't the same thing as classical Marxism.
 
Oh, I thought Town Fair Tire was an actual store to find tires. I get it now.
It is. It's a real tire and tire services retailer and one of its slogans is "nobody beats a Town Fair Tire deal. NOOOOOOOBODY!" Spergio is from New England, so I figured he'd enjoy the local reference.
 
What about the Gulf War where we kicked Saddam out of Kuwait? In hindsight, should we have led our own invasion that would result in regime change in 1991 instead of 2003?
Didn't Colin Powell argue against that? At a time before he went "muh WMDS"?
 
For all the shit I say about Marx, Das Kapital is a good criticism and analysis of capitalism. As you said, it's just that his political prescriptions were pants-on-head stupid.
Marx's criticisms of capitalism and the then rapidly unfolding industrialization of Europe out of a predominantly agricultural population and the problems this massive shift was causing was apropos for 1850.

By 1900 many of the issues Marx outlined would be ameliorated via explicitly non Marxist reforms or dissolved entirely due to the rapid pace of technology.

Marx's world that he based his entire ideology on was gone within less than a century. His remedies, antihuman as they are, weren't even constructed for 1925 let alone 2025.
 
"The "No Kings" protest against President Donald Trump and his administration is set to be the largest nationwide mobilization since Trump took office, according to organizers.

There are 1,800 protests planned across the country for June 14, with millions expected to attend.

The protests have been organized to coincide with Trump's birthday and the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army, which the administration plans to commemorate with a tank parade through Washington, D.C.

According to organizers, the No Kings protests are being held to stand up against "authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy."





If Millions of leftists actually turn up across the US for this day, it will be chaos. Like, historical levels. I really think this is going to end up being a big deal. Police and National Guard cannot manage that level of people, and these protests are being backed by affluent people.
 
Then there should be plenty of counter-protests in support of ICE. Hell, you wouldn't even need ICE, since the people should be ratting out illegals to the cops themselves if illegals are unpopular.
People tried to counter-protest during Trump's first term. It lead to further online censorship in reaction from the Dem-aligned corporations as organisations like Antifa were ignored and non-entities (Boogaloo boys?) were propped up as a genuine threat. Liberal governments will only kowtow to liberal/left-aligned protests, the right/conservatives are ignored by and large, with the only proven example of right-wing protest yielding results being at the ballot box.
 
I remember calling dudes niggers back on the BBS boards. Man… and in my youth, was hanging with Jesus and dinosaurs and shit. One day, I hope sit on my rocker on the front porch while watching classic videos like Chris drinking his semen, only for a BIPOC family of four to pass by so I can scream out facts about per capita while telling the father that he looks like a rapeable twink.

Ah, what a life.
One day my kids will ask "what was the old internet like" and I'll quote metokur who said "you used to be able to put in 'Nigger Fight' into a youtube search bar and come up with a billion results" and I'll have to explain why that was a much better world.
 
"You're Jewish." :story:

That's going to be my rebuttal for now on.
lord miles talks a lot of shit but guy never answers why the taliban imprisoned him then let him go at the first sign of balding. he also mentioned watching barbie with them, very spiritually gay behavior. guy is full of it, I remember his homeless NYC arc where he pretended he was in danger sleeping on the streets of one of the safest parts of NYC
 
Then save your money, know the risks, find a refutable mechanic, educate yourself on tire maintenance.
Dude, I do everything I possibly can myself, I just don’t happen to have a tire mounting machine around

What do you think factory people are like? We work on machines all day anyways, it would be ridiculous to be afraid of your own car, especially when your maintenance guy is a mechanic for a side hustle and can bail you out if shit goes sideways

Nothing in my car generates over 5,000 psi. It’s safer than what I work with all day
Marx's most compelling idea in my opinion was exploitation. You can very easily convert a young person (or even an older one) into a Marxoid without them needing to read a single page of drivel by just explaining to them that corporate profit equals the value they create minus what they actually get paid. In other words you are being exploited if you work. This idea is fucking catnip to people.
the refutation is Hoppe’s utility argument. Go make your thing. Ok, that done? Now sell it. We cool? Alright the customer has 90 days to pay the invoice
Nobody beats a Town Fair Tire deal. NOBODY.

They generally charge less than $1,200 for four tires.

Idk you tell me. They won’t even show you prices, you have to enter all your car information and get a quote. Pressure sales are a bad sign in my opinion, but I’m just a proletarian over here, drinking my own piss or whatever you guys think we do
 
It is. It's a real tire and tire services retailer and one of its slogans is "nobody beats a Town Fair Tire deal. NOOOOOOOBODY!" Spergio is from New England, so I figured he'd enjoy the local reference.
It always sounds weird to me when there are places to buy things like tires and hardware in north east, I figured the only stores up there are places that sell $1200 designer shoes for women, bodegas crawling with cockroaches, and like...a communist book store to go hang out with hipsters and be retarded.
 
I'm also poor, and I also disagree with the blatant abuse of our lax immigration laws that benefit illegals, but the thing is, since I care about that cause, you sure as shit expect I'm going to pay for the legal option. Anything else is just an excuse, and I don't think you really care about these topics, which is fine, but pretending to and doing the opposite of your beliefs anyway it's just completely ridiculous.
i actually disagree with this.
immigration is a political problem and requires political solutions. you boycotting the local beaner chop shop on your own doesn't make a meaningful difference to their bottom line, but it does leave a meaningful hole in your own personal bank account. that's simply not worth it.

now if you were to organize a large network of locals and got them all to join your beaner boycott, then it could actually make a difference. but doing that is near impossible as long as the left has such a tight hold on media and culture (you'd get dragged and canceled hard for trying)
 
Buddy if the arguement is "used/retread/patched tires are dangerous" and your reply is "just buy the 80$ ones at walmart" I don't know what point you're trying to make. North of the Mason Dixon line where it snows 6 months a year adequate new tires are 100% gonna cost you 200$ a tire on the low end for a sedan, god help you if you have a pickup.
Yes I am saying to do this dumb fuck, just buy an actual brand of tire and not LingLongs and you’ll be fine.
t. got a set of cheap but legit brand tires for $500 (replacing the same kind which I used for 9 years)
 
By the way, and I don't care if this is petty, fuck this "streetwear style" name for a protest. Blacks are the only people in society babbling about kings. The actual word itself is cringe to hear
Oh I 100% agree, their also really going with the idea that trump is planning to establish a authoritarian / monarchesque rule.


I do hope it will end in some degree of violence, if only for pure content.

I don't know who that is or what you're talking about. Funny how that post I did triggered you to respond.

What do you think factory people are like?
No idea.
 
GUESS WHAT BEN. WE TRIED THIS WITH GEORGE FLYOD YOU IDIOT!

Democrats are more than happy to let it burn. (So then their Donors can buy these properties back at a significantly lower value. Even better when the store/location is something passed down generations, so it finally gets listed on the market, when the damage is unrecoverable for the family.)

He really wants Trump to have a giant failure on his hands with cascading problems down the line:
>Rule of law promise: Nope!
>Law and Order president: Nope!
>Not repeating BLM riots: Nope!
>Not losing the midterms due to fear of these rioters coming back: Nope!
