I deleted my Instagram and I am about to delete my FB account. The oligarchs can go fuck themselves.

I can barely speak two languages. I tried to learn some Mandarin but apparently I am tone deaf because I cannot hear or get the tones right when I practice.
I think I am done voting for liberals. They come up with endless excuses why they cannot help the working class and when finally do anything it is to fund Israel's genocide or to give massive wins to Republicans by banning Tiktok the day before Trump was sworn in just so he could unban it.
You can thanks capitalism for poisoning our cities, towns and soil with an extremely dangerous neurotoxin (lead).
When you consider the school shootings, mass shootings, insane medical debt, and the fact that we have 8x the traffic fatality rate per capita of many developed nations, etc, I don't blame people for seeing the US as being a lawless dumpster fire.
If you disagree, next time you are out driving try to estimate how many drivers actually follow the law (drive below the speed limit, stop at crosswalks, slow down even more when visibility is poor or there are pedestrians or children nearby, etc).
Also, how many people drive small cars that are cleaner and safer for our communities vs giant Wankpanzers? People who are willing to make our cities more polluted and more dangerous for everyone overall just to make themselves slightly safer are morally bankrupt even if they technically follow the law they don't value the spirit of the law.
For many Chinese, this is also their first time talking to Americans. There are a ton of stories of them asking us if school shootings and medical bankruptcy are real or if it is just CCP anti-US propaganda. It is gut wrenching when we have to tell them that all the terrible things they have heard about the US are not only true, but worse than they imagine
Tiktok doesn't push neo-Nazi propaganda as aggressively as X did and it doesn't censor news with class consciousness like Meta does.
I don't mind driving if I can avoid stroads, but I hate driving on stroads with a passion. Fuck stroads.
Under capitalism, yes. Capitalism severely undervalues anything that is not immediately exploitable by rich assholes.
Yes! Without shared ownership over the companies we work at, we have no ownership over how our labor is used. This is why a worker owned economy is such a critical part of Marxism and why Social democracy's attempt to achieve socialist goals through higher taxes and labor rights isn't enough (a golden cage is still a cage.) The heart of socialism is giving people a shared ownership over their labor which means they get a voice and vote on how their labor will be used
Give it time. When, not if, when Trump gives billions to fund Israel's genocide then people will be just as furious with him as they were when Biden did it.
Xhitter is full of bots and Nazis now so you won't see much criticism of Trump on Nazi Musk's shitty Nazi platform.
