Swine shouldn't be allowed to keep dogs.

That they're god's gift to earth and that they earned everything they've got. If you were convinced you had created a company the size of a country all by yourself, you'd think that when you shit what touched the ground was golden apples too.

"The dutch use the Düsseldorf airport sometimes so it's basically France."

From a technical standpoint he's definitely up there. I recently rewatched the Dark Knight after some time and despite knowing exactly what's going to happen I was surprised how well executed the rising tension was.

He's also an elitist prick who refuses to get on with the times, so I have a feeling he doesn't have that many more acclaimed films in him.

Reddit country well represented in /r/waste_of_time. Other breaking news: Water, wet.

Sorry about your country. I doubt it's comforting but 99.8% of the ukroposters have fuckall to do with the Ukraine, they're just westerners who think that's praxis.

I don't recall how exactly it started, if I had to guess I'd say I made a remark impying all employers are exploiters. I tried to explain the concept of the surplus value in the simplest terms. I explained the simplest model, they said the worker doesn't actually sell the product and that there's other factors involved. I explained that logistics, selling etc are also labour and that I'm only talking on a simplistic model, that it can be expanded. They brought up an individual, a friend who happens to be a bourgeois leech, said he works hard (he does). I explained that his managership and ownership are essentially different hats, and that he could employ people to do the job, not work a second, and still go home with money. They mentioned insurances and shit.

I got flustered. I had faith in the intelligence of these people, and they just said that. I don't remember how it went later, but it got into the subject of risk. I said proles risk far more, life and limb, while capitalists risk comfort and ranking. One of them claimed he had many friends who lost everything they had, presumably he meant start-ups, he knew a lot of those. I guess I made a flippant remark because it got heates and we had to just arguing to cool off.

At what point does this barrage of minutiae stop being honest questions and become sealioning? I can't tell. It's a cringy memory for me all around but if nothing else it was an experience.

Is anyone actually convinced by the practical impossibility of infinite growth? I'm not saying the argument is wrong, but you all know how pig-headed liberals are when confronted with materialism. I had nominally intelligent, well-educated people bring up "who'll pay insurance and pension funds?" when I was trying to explain the concept of surplus value.

Jesus fucking christ. It's the "Am I allowed to participate in society?" all over again. No, it's not some huge hypocricy to have an extra flat that you rent out, or to work a high salary job. It's also not a crime to want some comforts and even luxuries.

The landlords in pre-revolution China were essentially feudal lords, not people with a bit of extra wealth that still laboured for their living. There's no point in looking down on people over what is little more than pittance for an actual capitalist today, those arseholes take trips to the bottom of the ocean for the money your parents accrued over their lifetime.

I feel I would've been a lot softer if I hadn't read the comments. I also struggled with this when I was younger. If you truly can't fathom being petit bourgeois, just sell it when you inherit it, though be wary that the buyer may be another leech looking for investments. Otherwise I'd say it's sufficient that you keep in mind that as a human being your interests lie with the preletariat. It might be even better if you used your money to support revolutionary activity.

I didn't know iconoclasm meant being against teachers.

Because that's what these two men have been. They're known for their lectures and their books. They've done fuckall to foster a cult around them.

He doesn't acknowledge PRC's achievements, doesn't support AES except Cuba (I think) and doesn't align himself with other anti-imperialists. He attacks journalists critical of the west, I faintly recall a bona fide NED spook quote tweeting BE to attack the Greyzone.

Insofar as he limits himself to attacking rightists, especially the ones claiming to be socialists, he's fine.

For us who can speak more than one language, that's approxiamtely -18 to 38 ⁰C. I find it unlikely that the lower end of that is frequent where you live. If it is, then the hogher end can't be. Even if we want to base this around winter weather, negative being freezing makes much more sense.

It's not about human senses, it about what you grew up with.

I mean, specifically in context, I'm sure my grandfather would envy this person. The context is that he hasn't walked in almost a decade, had very low mobility for the decade prior, and had done physical labour since his teens before then. If he could choose between being stuck in a room left to his thoughts and slaving away for some disgusting corpo, he'd probably choose the latter in the blink of an eye. This (as in mine, the article is loathsome regardless) isn't a comment on capitalism, just being old and decrepit.
