Maoist rocket says, “Fuck your imperialist and capitalist clamps” and commits revolutionary suicide.

It’s all liberal media, Clyde.

Liberalism is the status quo… that’s the media you’ve been watching all this time, and that includes all the (so-called) “conservative” media, too.

but student terrorist movements were largely left behind in the 70s

The left has never left the use of force in the past - it is as available to us today, and as thoroughly justified, as it was in the 70’s… 1570s, 1870s or 2070s.

The willingness to use force doesn’t distinguish between a left and a (supposed) “far left” - the left is not a mirror of the right, and there is no leftist equivalent to a far right (which is purely distinguished by it’s proximity to, willingness to control and/or operate the state machinery of violence).

It’s not about spots on a silly “political compass” infographic and never has been.

By American standards, the Stop Cop City people are a ‘far left’ group;

That’s not “far left.” That’s just plain old bog-standard left - whether in the US or anywhere else.

action against Stop Cop City has been pretty brutal.

Again… just common-or-garden variety treatment the left has always received from the forces of the status quo - nothing “far left” about it.

There’s no such thing as a “far left” - and it’s critical that we push back on these kinds of propagandistic framing devices liberals love to use to demonize the left and provide cover for the right. I don’t think leftists realize how powerful and dangerous this basic type of propaganda can be.

Nicely done.

I used to… but now I don’t.

Such “equally opposing forces” are purely media creations - there are no such things in actual politics. For instance, there is no such thing as a “far left” - it was purely created by liberal media to be a neat (but entirely fictional) “equally opposing force” for their shitty “both-side-ism” narratives.

They are perfectly on point with the whole “flooding the world with infoshit” thing… though, as the recent collapse of Israel’s media coddling shows, it seems that it’s not working as intended.

We have lots of space here… unfortunately, it’s also the only thing we have enough of.

Whoosh.

Dude was intense but literally built an empire in his industry by himself.

ROFLMAO!

I hear shoe polish is toxic… you should rinse out your mouth every now and then.

Nope. A lot of them pretend to work, though.

People use smartphones to pass the time?

Colour me surprised.

Of all the celebrity billionaire parasites this one is the one I hate the most. At least Elon and Bezos has the decency to show us what scumbags they are… they don’t call Gates “No.1 Sugar Daddy To The PR industry” for nothing.

tech has nothing to do with him being a piece of shit,

We don’t call tech bros tech bros because they’re technical. We call them tech bros because they are pieces of shit.

TV Tropes has the best description of them.

A Tech Bro is someone connected with the technology and business industry; cultivating an image of intelligence mixed with money, counterculture attitude and social savvy. Whether they are actually hip, business literate, anti-authority or even intelligent in any form depends on the individual. Their goal is to charm investors into funding their project, so some degree of false presentation is necessary. Typically they are young men in their twenties and early thirties, insisting on casual clothing, shaggy hair and Perma-Stubble. Some of them are keen on partying and getting up to wacky hijinx, and are easily distracted during business meetings. Their speech is a blend of Technobabble and corporate buzzwords designed to attract investors, self-promoting at every opportunity. They see themselves as leaders, even visionaries, and they want you to know it.

And Apartheid tech bro up there is their god.

edit: I have to mention that I have no idea where anyone gets the idea that tech bros are in any way “countercultural” or “anti-authoritarian” - I’ve never seen a tech bro that’s anti-capitalist, which means they are as drenched in the politics of bootlicking as the rest. I guess the only difference is that they perceive themselves to be deserving of having their boots licked - despite the fact that they will happily lick the boots of Musk, Gates and the rest themselves.

Apartheid tech bro saying exactly what an Apartheid tech bro would say.

$237.5 million

That’ll buy you a lot of white phosphorus.

This study is bunk.

No. It isn’t.
