Yes. Most people do not understand how petit the petit bourgeois are going by strict Marxist orthodoxy. Most of the people that we think of as petit bourgeoisie are actually the moyen bourgeoisie. The bourgeois who don’t sell their labor but are too small to be of significance ie car dealership owners, chain franchisees, etc. To make the point, Uber drivers are technically petit bourgeoisie because they own their cars. It’s why some modern scholars have argued for new categories like the “precariat,” arguing that Marx’s class categories are outdated in a modern context
I think the unadjusted for truth is the proletarianization of the petit bourgeoisie. Think about the difference between someone who owned a limo and ran a car service in the 80s vs an Uber driver now. Capitalism consumes itself in pursuit of profits as the entire world is ‘rationalized’ and commodified in the face of an overall decline in the rate of profit
This is the more fucked up version of the Dave Chapelle baby-selling-crack bit
The coup in Bolivia shook me of any demsoc liberalism I still had in me and made me understand that a worker’s movement can only be defended with force
How did Canada end up with all the Ukrainian collaborationist expats? Were they doing an operation paperclip for wheat farmers instead of rocket scientists?
Just make sure to call them terrorists before you shoot them and you’re all good

It’s crazy to me that any military doctrine as a base assumption relies on air superiority. How could you ever assume that if facing off against a peer nation? Though I guess with nuclear armament there’s an assumption that you’ll never face off against a peer level natuon

Germany’s green energy push was secretly propped up by outsourcing fossil fuel needs to Russian natural gas. The war in Ukraine and America subsequently blowing up the Nordstream 2 pipeline means Germany will need to find new alternatives to feeding their energy needs. One could hope this results in a speed up of green tech development as it becomes more of a pressing necessity than just, you know, the right thing to do. And hey speaking of knowing the right thing to do and then not doing it because of the perverse economic incentives for ignoring it, it’s funny to note that the global leader in green tech is China but due to this new cold war the US is brewing and due to Germany’s newly-humbled-into role as Jr Junior partner to the US there’s no way there will be the necessary cooperation there between national tech sectors
War thunder has some of the most advanced anti-user mechanics with the intention of frustrating you into paying for an otherwise free game. No other game has made me as angry at the game itself. It also has some of the best modeled armor and weapon mechanics out there so I’m constantly drawn back in. Constantly uninstalling and reinstalling this piece of shit. It’s like a more in depth slots machine. Highly unrecommended
Glad to see people actively dismantling the myth of the clean wermacht. It wasn’t just the SealS committing war crimes

It makes sense to me that the ghouls in charge of this dying empire would say this but it always blows my mind when I meet someone in real life who will say shit like this. Especially when they turn around and play liberal progressive like they aren’t sitting in a circle trying to ritually summon the nuclear holocaust
Historically you have to campaign as being against the war but then promptly set about the business of creating a war once in office
A man in a second frame sat in an armchair: I think you should both be more explicit on step two

They’re just going to follow America’s lead on this huh? I guess China wouldn’t be tied into the situation in a way they’d be able to realistically pursue a peace plan the way Xi could with Putin during the Ukraine war. Wild but I guess those carrier groups really do dissuade foreign intervention
