coupling the sacrifice with a chance of the greatest exclusivity a CEO is always craving for is a way to make all this much more acceptable to the members

the individual sacrifices his own life, his clanmates temporarily sacrifice their position. all for the Greater Good

 

i can't give anyone the source of this information, to preserve their safety; and to preserve my own, this is a throwaway account which will be abandoned as soon as i post this thread - meaning i won't be online to answer, nor will i ever be in the same location as i am now. do not try to contact me.

what i want to tell you is that capitalists already know the masses are angry, and have known for years. they have discussed ways to make that anger subside, and being aware that americans are prone to violence they've recently come up with a devious solution: every year, they get together and pick one among them to henceforth casually and very openly walk around without a security detail, in the hopes that he will be assassinated. they name him a Vessel of Hatred, and make their decision official with an enormous banquet, celebrating the person's sacrifice.

for that whole night, they make him the only one with permission to grossly mistreat the waiters and the cook staff. he scolds them and beats them up violently with various tools, trembling not just from the anxiety resulting from his incoming demise, but from the excitement of being, for a short time, the only one in that tiny world who's allowed to be a tyrant. the rest of the CEOs in the Greater Good Clan watches, clapping and laughing excitedly as he revels himself into exhaustion in the process. the Vessel eventually passes out, lying down on all the blood and the mangled staff bodies, and waking up the next day knowing that although his life is forfeit he had the greatest night of his life

later that week he is assassinated; the Clan goes on the media pretending shock, but they're happy to know people are celebrating their meaningless revenge in the streets and the internet. and thus the CEOs enjoy peaceful lives for a whole year as the masses, for a while, go into a post-catharsis peace, until another Vessel has to be chosen. a man dies; the class lives on

you may not believe it, but this is the world we live in now. take this as a warning and refuse to be gaslighted by their ploy

Ah the classic in order to safeguard democracy we're removing power from the people that the country voted for move

i mean depending on the situation that's not necessarily wrong

though in this one we know what he's about lol

they are complex, i'm joking about the fact that a lot of the game is basically Accountant Simulator 2 (1 being 3.5)

the highest selling point of pf1 is that it's good for those who either lack imagination and need the books to create everything for them, or those who think complication equals complexity

as for 2e i have no idea

and whatever happens capital is still gonna win because they're not really in the spotlight

if people get angry after the tariffs fuck them up, capital will just rally behind some democrat, or another, more practical fascist

No way this goes through right?

he doesn't really need congress for tariffs

according to the law people being interviewed they're supposed to be consecutive yea

[–] s0ykaf@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

it's mostly to find underground stuff like festival movies, old foreign tv shows etc

i don't see any reason for them to fuck us, it's different this time because lula is pretty much just a figurehead now. the real people behind this government are the ones riding with haddad and his neoliberal goons

[–] s0ykaf@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

yea i was thinking of bush when i said that, lula can run circles around idiotic neocons/reactionaries. if he has one great talent, one single ability that sets him apart from other people, it's knowing what you want to hear and how to say it (something that he uses to mislead both the right and the left)

smart libs like obama are another thing entirely though, they don't fall for his shit

i think brazil is gonna be fine, 3rd term lula has been neolib as fuck, there's no need for americans to do anything against it. lately some social movements have been trying to pressure congress into passing laws reducing the workweek to 5 days (currently it's like 5.5, with a 44h total, 4 hours on saturday) and his own minister of labor and employment came out against it (defending "separate collective negotiations in each sector" instead, but less than 9% of our workforce is unionized - even less in the private sector - and that fucker knows it lol)

also lula is pretty good at handling people like trump in general

 

even a social democrat would cringe at this shit
