Maybe the purpose of a system is what it does…
Maybe trying to lower the rate/efficiency of the baby-killing machine is the wrong approach…
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it…

    The year is 2036. It is the most important election of our lives. Harold Haymus Oldman runs as “H2O,” the brutal warlord of the water wars, promising hydration for God’s worthy creatures. His opponent is ZebLinx0-Alpha, an amalgamated hybrid of pharmaceuticals, communication satellites, and a Large Language Model. Their first debate is broadcast on subscriber-only YouTube. Only six Americans can afford it, but they aren’t watching because they already know who wins.

    I thought 2024 was the most important language and the last election.

    of course, ron desantis loses to david duke in a landslide because everyone stayed home again - but moreover, the elections stopped actually counting the votes ever since 2028 and they only do it for the sake of keeping up appearances by then.

      It has always been a distraction. You always have only been able to choose between different representatives of capital

      bourgeois “democracy” is just a distraction to legitimise the dictatorship of capital

    Democrats really have been trying to peddle a final solution on a slightly longer timeline as the absolute limit of harm reduction while refusing to withhold ammunition from the occupation.

    Destroying this system is the only same response.

    I yearn for the good old days when being conservative meant not blowing up the deficit with stupid bullshit and lumping Nazis, religious extremists, and imperialist commies into a basket of ‘people only useful for adding nitrogen and phosphorous to soil’. That was only 20 years ago

      German conservatives formed a majority coalition with the Nazis in 1932. Conservatives have always sided with fascism over socialism and always will.

        No, I’m thinking of the good old days, not the bad days. The post-McCarthy hangover where conservatives were not entirely dissimilar to Clinton, but then Reagan showed up

      Idk where you were 2004, but the conservatives you speak of certainly weren’t around. In fact, I’m quite sure they never existed, considering conservatism in the US has always been closely tied to white supremacy and Christian nationalism.

        Yeah the more I think about it the more I think it was Reagan and Falwell that flipped everything around. Everyone got a sip of the tax cut and Christian values koolaid

          More like Nixon with the “southern strategy” to lure the Dixiecrats into becoming Republicans.
