It's not as evident here in these kinds of grand pronouncements, but all of his applause lines are usually "telling it like it is" jokes in the vein of late era George Carlin

Donald J Trump is genuinely the most successful standup comedian in human history
The constant posting and anonymous text messages of "iranians! it's time to rise up! liberate your country!!" is striking me as increasingly sweaty and desperate
I do think Palestine is special in the US political context, for sure, but I think people treat it like it would be the first domino in the entire US world order and not something analogous to the end of Apartheid.
Okay, devil's advocate but: mines haven't really changed in the last 30 years so why would mine protection need to change?
As we all know opium has never been a tool of capitalism
Now to open my Big Book Of Chinese History
And given OP's romantic notion of living off land they own, it's a relevant distinction!
Yeah exactly, I just brought those two categories up because those were what Marx categorized agriculture as being in the 19th century - he specifically recognized that 'the working class' did not include farmers since they owned their means of production.
Yeah like that quote about "millions of dollars worth of Apple products".
"Wow they wasted millions of dollars on luxuries" goes from a career ending scandal in municipal government to literally insignificant when you're talking about the US federal budget.
My best guess is that people are very vulnerable to a view of revolutions as a singular event that happens universally.
It's not "a revolution" but The Revolution, which also means that real-life revolutions either get treated as if the weight of humanity is on them (Rojava) or they get ignored.
There's this sleight of hand I think, where "Palestine is symbolic of modern systems colonialism" (a reasonable argument) seems to imply in people's minds that if Palestine is freed, everyone else gets freed too, so freeing Palestine has to be priority #1.
It's bizarre to me how many people in the comments here seem to think that automation is going to translate into more freedom for the working class. When has that ever panned out? How much leisure time do you have, after years of these "innovations"? We are Charlie Brown trying to kick the football
people are already dunking on OP but I think the really funny part is her use of "working class" here
agriculture is not working class!!! Karl Marx specifically went out of his way to exclude peasants and smallholders from the proleteriat!!! subsistence agriculture is not a desirable thing!!!
As we all know, subsistence agriculture had a 30 hour work week
Don't worry, in 6 months they will have a novel American home-grown interceptor drone that costs ten times as much and is 10% as reliable!

Like, I wonder what % of people making investment decisions about firms in Lebanon know that ~a million Lebanese people just got displaced from their homes by the IDF
Markets (and MSM) have an extremely big blind spot in that they do not actually know what is going on in any war at all
I think scenario 2, where the US bombs Shahed launchers at low intensity ~forever, is also very likely, in part because it means they can fool the market into thinking the war is over (like with Gaza)
We were in scenario 3 before this war even started
The press knows the war is over because ongoing airstrikes on Tehran are renamed to Operation Enduring Fury, which means it's not a war anymore
Exact opposite is also possible: war continues at like 10% lower intensity while president grandpa declares peace has been achieved
I'm sure it's solace to thousands of dead Iranians that they were murdered in incompetent fashion
even then that's like 10 times better than the DC track lmao
Broke: Charlie Kirk is the future (quasi-religious quasi-preacher reactionary spiritual leaders)
Woke: Charlie Kirk is the future (wildly unsuccessful astroturfed attempt to appeal to the youth that garners the support of a tiny number of nazis that the gen Xers find cool)
The fact they never integrated something like APKWS on those Hinds is just horrendous tbh
resident evil characters flirting be like
Yes, but as far as I'm aware Iran has not repurposed SA-2s into ASBMs like the Houthis did.
