The biggest issue with No King's, at least out of my perspective is that it is only centered around Trump and his cronies, and doesn't actually target the system that keeps churning out people like Trump, produces them and puts them into power. Americans believe that Trump happened to them like a natural disaster would, and that they were sadly just ill prepared. They fail to see and correctly point out that the system thrives on people like Trump and actively pursues putting them into positions of power. Until that isn't addressed, these protests will bring about no material change.

I for one welcome this development. China, even if just out of national security interests, has proven to be quite a valuable partner in championing open source alternatives to Western technologies locked under key, proprietary licensing, and other such arrangements, which led to monopolies. China first started doing this with designing and actually building RISC-V architecture devices as a way to move away from x86 and ARM architectures. Now let's hope that UBIOS will be supported in a similar, open source way, so that we can gain more sovereignty over our own devices.

I'm queer. I'm not falling for your bullshit. Libs will drop trans people as soon as they can if it means appeasing their corporate overlords. We've seen it all over the "civilized" world. They did it in the UK, they're doing it right now in the US.

Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds. There is no such thing as values on the liberal wing of politics, just as there are no values on the MAGA wing. As soon as capital is involved, they will drop anything they stood for.

What a boring future we live in. The working class being distracted by petty disputes like these, mourning fucking podcasters, when the need to organize against the capitalist class is greater than ever.

We're not disappointed at all. The Great Firewall is doing an amazing job at blocking US interference, and the CIA and its lackeys hate it for that.

Fight back against what? Other white groypers?

I didn't say any of that. I have no clue where you got that from

Gramsci talked about this long before the 24/7 news cycles even existed. This is what the bourgeois hegemony is. Hegemony isn't defined only by the brute force of the state to enforce itself onto the people, but encompasses the ownership of cultural, political, and intellectual institutions too. The role of hegemony is to shape the views and values of the underlying classes as to make said values seem normal, organic, and timeless. This in turn will manufacture the consent the owning class needs in order to pursue its interests. As of now, the bourgeois hegemony has decided that Charlie Kirk needs to be brought on equal footing with other political activists. They have decided that the subordinate classes need to accept that Charlie Kirk's very real and tangible political activism is nothing but "opinions" in "the marketplace of ideas" and the consequences he has suffered at the hands of the system he helped build are unexpected. This is why everyone from the democrats to the republicans, from the liberal media to the conservative media is suddenly calling out "political violence" and mourning Kirk publicly. The bourgeoisie is trying to instill a new Zeitgeist and the people calling it out are a thorn in their side.

The US has always been this parasitic, lawless, warmongering shithole of a country. Bush did it, Obama did it, Biden did it, Trump did it. Every single president before them did it. As someone who despises the US hegemony, I'm glad this administration is showing the world what the US has always been. This will just make it easier for us across the globe to discredit the US lackeys in our individual countries.

At least he's showing what America has always been. A power hungry warmongering country.

Same issue here. My company is freezing any hiring this year. And next year won't be looking good either. And to add on top of that, most big companies are outsourcing to Eastern Europe short-term because it's cheaper, or directly to India, as was the case with Amazon Romania that laid off a bunch of its workforce and then hired back a few of them to make workshops for the people in India that are going to pick up their jobs to do the exact same thing.

Also the pay in the sector in Germany sucks ass. It's really bad

That time will come. Fascists always end up the same way, 6ft under. They just like playing with fire

Yes, of course the driver is at fault for being an idiot. And sadly, a shitton of drivers are idiots. Ignoring this fact is practically ignoring reality. You shouldn't be allowed to do false marketing as a company exactly because idiots will fall for it.

Well, if only Tesla hadn't invested tens of millions into marketing campaigns trying to paint autopilot as a fully self driving, autonomous system. Everyone knows that 9 out of 10 consumers don't read the fine print, ever. They buy, and use shit off of vibes. False marketing can and does kill.

People are surprised to find out that this is the reality under capitalism. When everything is tied to pandering to the upper class, you working class suckers always get the short end of the stick. Even when it comes to "liberal institutions". If their profits are gone, they are gone. Their existence is intrinsically tied to pandering to the upper class. This is why capitalism is intrinsically fascistic.

I'm sorry, that's what I meant by liberal. I forget that not everyone shares the same understanding of this word as me. Conservatives fall into the same category too. What I mean by liberal is someone supporting liberalism in its true sense, such as supporting capitalism and private individuals owning huge media houses. Both of these groups inherently support the billionaires' right to own the press.

People still don't care. They'll still open packaging related issues. And someone will still have to sift through those and close them individually.

They've been manufacturing consent for this genocide since the beginning now. The liberal media belongs in the gutters of history. And remember, even Julius Streicher of Der Stürmer hanged for his crimes. Now we'll wait and see how merciful history will be with these goons.
