You say they, not including yourself.

You're a member of the rich ruling class, then?

It's an interesting perspective that working class teenagers brought this on themselves.

They generally seem quite restricted in their agency and impact, indeed they are usually the most vocal and proactive age group for bringing about positive change, but the incumbent oppressive system of late stage capitalism (not any one individual, group or organisation, but the collected interests and power of the ruling class put through the lens of capitalism) resists that change with great strength.

You know its reflective surface? Well, uh...

I hate to be the one non-scientist that picks this up, guys....

...What worries me is that it's reflecting everything but us.

I wonder how big of a crowd you could subdue with drone swarms high above the throngs deploying a high dispersal cloud of something down onto them.

Thousands? Hmm. I wonder when we'll see them try.

Why are you censoring the word kill? Are you a child?

We can use big boy words on the internet, this isn't the classroom.

If the USA government says it's not involved, that means it's involved, right? Every lie from them is a truth these days.

Methane is what the majority of natural gas is made up of, and if your generator isn't made to be very efficient (like a real power station is), you'll lose some of your fuel unburnt into the atmosphere.

Kinda like unburnt wood smoke vapour, which could have been burned in a higher quality wood burner, but just goes up the chimney in an open fire.

It was glorious. I used Stardock's Windows Blinds to adjust the transparency to what felt just right and that was chef's kiss

Ahh, what we've lost...

The more you look at the villains in all the TV, movies, and books growing up, the more you realise they're mostly evil capitalists.

It's weird that Hollywood etc would green light so many movies about how rich people like themselves are evil, and teaching kids to fight against them.

The rich landlord is going to close the community club hall! The rich businessman is trying to have us killed to cover up his chemical spills! Etc etc.

If it's not a literal alien from another planet, more often than not the bad guy is just a literal normal capitalist.

And yet try to use the lessons taught in every piece of media you ever watched as an impressionable child, and you're told that your anticapitalist beliefs are "extremist" and you're dangerous and must be stopped.

Weird eh?

Standing still in front of a television camera man with nothing else around you, holding a microphone and talking in to the camera, while a fascist police calmly raises their gun in full view of the camera and shoots you in the back from about 10 yards away?

Also she was a woman.

...or are we talking about ANOTHER journalist they shot today? Surely there weren't two?!

How many innocent people are they shooting, I wonder? How many are being disappeared to the American Gulags of El Salvador without a trial? The journalists at least have a voice, the others won't be so lucky.

Interesting way to say a British ship was attacked in International waters.

Lets sit back and watch my government do fuck all about it.

Maybe they can give Israel some money to make them feel better? There there poor Israel, the naughty aid workers are in prison now it's okay that food won't reach the people that need it, phew that was a close one.

 

Hello fellow Boosters! :-D

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here, 😅 I saved a comment I'd like to go back to the other day but don't recall exactly what it was (darn my poor ADHD memory), and so I wanted to scroll through my saved/favourited comments to find it.

When I go to the "Saved" tab it lets me scroll through saved posts, but I can't find any way to switch to scrolling through saved comments, so I'm not sure how I'd go about finding them?

Thanks!
