We were never promised anything.

Don’t worry, they just want to stop the heat death of the universe or something like that.

THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT CO-OPS!! THEY’RE USING THE WORD COOPERATE AS AN ADJECTIVE TO REFER TO CO-OPS!

“A COOPERATE MANAGER”

“A cooperate manager.” LMAO

This smuck is like: “corporate managers—not to be confused with cooperate managers.”

doesn’t make the least bit of sense.

cooperate managers

Oh, boy.

Yeah, also consider that the person depicted in this meme isn’t fucking real!

But also, I might recommend you to maybe not insult people to the extreme when defending someone from a racist remark. White people making a scene to prove that they’re not racist can be really embarrassing to everyone involved.

The difference is between genuine protectiveness and trying to prove that you’re not racist, you shouldn’t be doing the latter.

Just avoid doing stuff like this IRL, a single comment online doesn’t really matter.

There’s also the trope of Asian people being politically aligned with the country they (or their ancestors) came from and being eternally foreign.

It’s a racist shitpost. Doing this to people you think are Chinese is totally not an acceptable thing to do at all. This is like a blatantly racist meme, regardless of your position on tankies, like they even made them type with broken English. The Chinese scammer that says “fuk you.”

It also insinuates that Asian people are aligned politically with the country of their origin, which is like classic anti-Asian racism.

Liberals become like blood and soil nationalists for ethnic groups contained within the countries of their state’s enemies, but then dress it up as decolonization. You don’t want Tibetans to be free, or Tatars, Uyghurs, Kurds, or any of those ethnic groups conveniently only in Russia, or China, or Iran.

It’s obvious that you have ulterior motives.

What you are actually insinuating when you say things like that, is that the US or NATO or whatever should go in and support the separatist faction to balkanize those countries and weaken them. Like the neocolonialist playbook.

Or a more subtle variation on that where instead of saying we all should outright support insurrection/regime change in [Country opposing Western imperialism] you say that we shouldn’t support them against US/NATO aggression because they have [insert internal issue] and that makes them deserve it, or that they’re both bad so don’t support either side.

On the off chance you don’t want that, ask yourself: what can you actually do to help [issue] in [China, Russia, Iran, DPRK, etc.]? And if you live in the West, the answer is:

Almost nothing, those problems have to be solved by people over there, but you can help, by protecting them against your terrorist-ass government.

The PRC had considerable help from Tibetan serfs. I know that was true. The communists didn’t just all come from China.

“Seize the means of production!”

… but the means of production are mostly just shops, superstores, malls, shopping centers, restaurants, gyms, car dealerships, movie theatres, film equipment, data centers, offices, warehouses, vans, semi trucks, trains, planes, and airports.

Because that’s a terrible waste of a protest. If you’re going to do something illegal it’s gotta be smarter than just that.

I have been part of an org a while ago that was opposing military and finance support of Israel. Nothing illegal, though.

Things will change when a critical mass of people reach the point where they have nothing left to lose.

Whole bunch of people I know are literally dying. I don’t care about the comfort of the people who want uninterrupted brunch while that goes on.

Voting does nothing and thinking it does something prevents people from moving beyond just voting.

I’m not sure what their opinion is, but:

Warfare against the private property owning class that rapes children and funds genocidal imperialist wars.

Idealism isn’t great, don’t ever say that.

INCREMENTAL CHANGE!!!

Voting doesn’t change anything, though, it contributes to the nothing changing if you think voting does anything. The gradual change you’re talking about is organizing and building alternative systems of power so that in the future there can exist the basis of a revolution.
