OOK, OOK, ACK, ACK! GRAB THE BROWNS AND MAKE THEM PACK!

 

[The Last Stand]

Lord forbid, someone be independent. That's just dumb.
What do you mean independence and self-sufficiency are Founding American Ideals?
Nah, thats just boomer shit. Those stupid boomers, imagine actually doing anything for yourself. Now, what should I order from door dash?

Yet those same motherfuckers will demand you to help with their smartphone or Facebook like the ignorant luddites they are.

Who's "we"? If the reaction to the ICE raids are any indication, they're not that popular.

Well the protests in LA were about 5 streets and a few hundred people. LA is a sprawling metropolis. So "we" is everyone who wasn't there. Or about 99% of all people

Oh, yeah, speaking of Massachusetts: there have been a shitload of ICE raids all over that state recently.

"ICE mandate to arrest 3,000 immigrants per day fuels raids in Massachusetts communities" (archive sites not working at the moment). It's to the point that Hispanic-heavy neighborhoods are very quiet and no one is out on the streets because they're trying to avoid ICE. It's also leading to some mistakes being made: immigration authorities arrested a suspected illegal immigrant in Lynn, MA and got caught driving around with him until picking a cemetery to take him in (no cameras) and beat the shit out of him. The guy was legal, all charges were dropped, and there's footage of law enforcement taking him into the cemetery for no apparent reason. However, in Massachusetts, law enforcement and the judicial system go hand in hand, so they get away with stuff like this all the time even though it's a proglib state.

Considering how much Lynn has become a festering shithole even in the grand picture of MA. Honestly their just doing pest control, I hope they take more people to the cemetery to tool them up. Maybe they can do that in Lawrence,Lowell, and Springfield too to send a message.

Oh yes Self-Sufficiency is Boomer ideal.

The boomers that don't know how to cook anything that isn't Microwavable, Don't know how to balance their check books, don't know how to keep recipts, don't know how to not be fat fucks who have to ride around wal-mart in scooters, don't know how to use technology. Didn't teach their kids anything about Self-Suffciency.

Yet those same motherfuckers will demand you to help with their smartphone or Facebook like the ignorant luddites they are.

Way to miss the point, guys.
I'm not defending boomers. We ALL know the boomers are hypocrites. But that wasn't the fucking point.

I'm mocking the notion that independence and self sufficiency are apparently now simply dumb boomer things. Because its dead-ass ignorant and self-destructive to our very Nation to dismiss those values so cavalierly.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

He didn't. The original is more accurate.

Oh well Fuck him then.

You might not have woken up this morning expecting this, but the Department of Homeland Security is currently reposting far-right memes to dunk on the governor of california:

Most of those 99% don't give a shit either way. They do not support or condemn the ICE raids. If they did, they'd be counter-protesting to drown out the anti-ICE riots.

I think Marx was a smart guy

Marxists have always had very valid critiques of market economies and anyone who's not a deranged utopian ideologue acknowledges it. It's just that their proposed alternatives are ten thousand times worse than the problems they critique.

 

[The Ugly One]

Who's "we"? If the reaction to the ICE raids are any indication, they're not that popular.

"We" means "America." Unlimited immigration is not popular. Every time any variant of "anyone who wants to come here should be allowed if they just fill out a form" is proposed, it's soundly rejected by the voters.

So what Old Lady Vanderberg has to lug her luggage up the stairs by herself?

Marx was a retard.

Also, Old Lady Vanderbeg is (probably) a recipient of state welfare, ergo she's also a lumpenprole. Granny will lined up against the wall if need be.

“All the classes that stand in the way of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat will perish.”
— The Communist Manifesto (1848 )

He was also of the view that everyone who existed under the bourgeoisie was being oppressed by them since the true value of their labour (or even lack thereof) was being stolen from them. The former top dogs, the landed aristocracy, weren't able to benefit from the full value of their land since that which they bought from the land's workers (peasants, farmers) and subsequently sold off (farmed produce, cash crops, and so on) would still only see its true value through the processes owned by the bourgeoisie, hence the full value of their labour/assets don't truly belong to them. This is what enables Marxist billionaires btw, since they're technically being oppressed too.

I'm hearing that Chelsea is a ghost town right now. Half of the city is Vietnamese and the other half is Dominican.

The old, this is on fire but lets put it out with gasoline ideology. Makes sense.

Says the obvious bridgestone sales rep

There’s no repairing anything that’s not a puncture. A puncture will not lead to a blowout, it will lead to a flat. Have you ever seen how tires are patched?

They don’t sell retreads, but it doesn’t matter if a tire is retreaded. In the early 2000’s, the feds went Karen and took down a study from the nhtsa that said retreads and new tires had comparable failure rates, coincidentally around when the Bush family friends, the Firestones, had drama with a scandal. I’m sure it’s completely unrelated

Why do you hate the environment and money so much?

saving 250 dollars but having your tire blow out on the highway because juan carlos fucked up the retread in his weed haze

For all the shit I say about Marx, Das Kapital is a good criticism and analysis of capitalism. As you said, it's just that his political prescriptions were pants-on-head stupid.

WE care for veterans and children.

Somebody needs to do research on when the US Army was founded and formed, like I did.

 

[SpergioLeonne]

You live in a state with shit roads and shit weather and you're gonna buy used tires? I don't get you sometimes, man.

Just go to Town Fair Tire.

IM POOR, I don’t have $1200 or $1500 sitting around for tires
