But what are the conditions that are changing? Do we have all the information?

Capitalism is not the only process at play. Settler ontology will nurse capitalism back to health because the supposed weakening of capitalism isn’t going to upend material settler realities in a way that forcloses it’s usual reactions.

And furthermore, imperialism has not collapsed. There is no reason to believe the BRICS, or any other contemporary developments, actually challenges imperialism meaningfully. We should remind ourselves that there have been moments when people feared the collapes, and even when people suffered catastrophic collapse before. Capitalism remains. Settler-colonialism remains. Imperialism remains. All because we have no clue what America is and are incapable of addressing it without reconsituting it in new ways.

The gift of pain, misery, and exploitation isn’t worth celebrating unless you are the one taking advantage of people

Christ… autism truly has no meaning whatsoever

No thanks lol I’m going to stay hyper vigilant until I know people are paying attention.

For a long time when I worked in restaurants and the boss would start blasting us with “faster!!!” we just all go “working hard, working hard” with no added enthusiasm or energy.

It has too much function to take it as a dismissive reply… unless it’s obvious.

For work I use it all the time to confirm I got an email. I can see how it may ruffle feathers, but my other colleagues don’t even confirm they got the message. Using the thumbs up also helps me organize what I need to do because half it is just in emails I gave a thumbs up to.

If I just replied 👍 to this post, I can see how that would be bullshit but that’s not how Im using it.

Its kinda like saying “sir” or “ma’am.” Some people are too good for it imo and some people may have good reasons to feel uneasy about it, but to me it is respectful to use it as long as you aren’t clearly a shit head.

It’s impossible to take people seriously that do what you are describing.

Tbh tech is an unknown language to me so everything you are saying could be true so now I need to look up different OSs

This is why I have a Huawei. Which is funny because all the iPhone users around me think China is absorbing my soul through my phone. (I don’t actually know that having a Huawei helps)
