It’s obviously a bit, the punchline is delivered perfectly.

It is a bit

But the person is real

I knew it was rough at Current Affairs after the boycott, but I didn’t know Nathan ended this low having to sell lemonade to pay the bills.

That’s better than what I thought, “Voting”

Those reports will be how the USA is remembered in history textbooks in 100 years

You don’t want to put $40k down on a double wide that costs $350k at 7%?

Mister Rigatoni please try and keep it al-dente

Karl will remember this

That’s actually why so many revolutions came out of conscripted forces. It’s terrible, but giving a bunch of people who don’t want to fight weapons and training makes it hard for you to control that when they come back home.

Conscripting forces (under capitalist or imperial systems especially) will almost always lead to some form of domestic revolution or civil war either after or during the imperial war the conscripts are fighting in.

Exceptions seem to exist in predominantly settler colonial states or states with massive existing racial/ethnic underclasses. Since the way to quell the revolutionary intents of conscripts is concession at the social underclass’ expense.

See the GI bill and redlining in America, Palestinian relations in Israel, North Koreans in South Korea, etc.

So a conscript force in NATO states would likely result in a fascist/socialist dialectic reforming as the old liberal states slide into reaction.

Without conscription, there can’t really be a large scale violent revolution, but it’s also less likely to literally consume the world in hellfire overnight as the old guard clutches to power in the most violent ways possible.

Also former conscripts made up the majority of revolutionary leftist parties, fascist paramilitaries, and organized criminals. So there isn’t really a positive to conscription beyond just heightening contradictions and forcing more people from passive political life into active political life.

What an absolutely amazing set of facial hair

It’ll bottom out soon now that Cormac McCarthy is dead

This is one of those “photo copy the kids homework and do it yourself for the bit” bits

Look at the detail on the wounds vs the detail on homelander

If you want to study like a traditional Marxist, just read stock reports and industrial publications.

Look at the citations in Marx and Lenin, they’re like 60% banking publication and mining reports.

“Those ethereal bisexuals and long legged socialists are tough nuts to crack”

Yup. And that’s not even accounting for disproportionate inflation in the necessity basket. Just market inflation.

I guess the cost of food being so insanely inflated shows up in this comparison, but housing and loan/consumer credit isn’t

I mean, if you’re reading situationalist literature in the 21st century you’re gonna have to be prepared for that.

It’s good to read in parallel because he references SotS chapters

Surprised no one mentioned it, but he did come out almost immediately with Comments on Society of the Spectacle which is more structured and less a collection of theses.
