    The worrysome thing is that he's talking about "long covid" and vaccine injuries as if they were separate things but always in the same sentence, when in reality most likely long covid IS a vaccine injury.

    I'm not a bot, certainly not Chinese, and absolutely not a fucking liberal. I'm a Marxist-leninist, but haven't read enough Mao to really have solid thoughts on his ponderings.

    This thread honestly does track how hard right this crowd has shifted, in real time since COVID has happened. It's kind of a fun case study that demonstrates how the working class in America doesn't understand itself to be a social class. The prevelance of anti-communism (especially by people who often can't clearly define socialism or communism) is a tell that the propaganda has worked on a lot of these folks. It's pretty disheartening, but I think the ever-mounting contradictions in our economy and society will eventually help my fellow proles see through all this right-wing nonsense about individualism and the free market. Probably not anyone in this space, but hey, happened to me. Roast away, baby.

    Here you go buddy, have fun

    Jovan, help me out, you seem to understand what goes on in Europe pretty well, is this just silly bullshit to not pay attention to, or is it a real concern?
    Right now, when you are applying for EU funding, you have to write up an argument as to how your investment meets six goals mentioned in the Green Deal. You don’t really have to do anything other than put up some solar panels, the rest is just talk. It is a graft scheme more than anything else, at least at the operational level. You mostly funnel some of the taxpayer money that you are stealing to the Chinese. The issue is the funding itself, there seems to be increasingly little active private investment outside of government investment. It used to be that EU funding was targeted at new member states, but it is quickly becoming the norm for the old member states too.

    I am not sure at all about the premise, but I think the conclusion has a lot of merit. I would say it's valid also for the working class (I include small entrepreneurs and gig-economy jobbers in the definition, up to cadres in sectors like IT) of other countries. I can personally vouch for its accuracy with regard to the UK, France and Italy, but I think it's probably true for most of western countries.

    I've seen Jordan Peterson's piece on the globalists and the green policies, but I was wondering, is there any elegant simple way we can describe what is wrong with this?
    Just say it's marxist.

    Re; The gurg and other posts. That may well have been a real account at some point. I suspect it's login credentials were hacked at some point. Login details are worth money because they can be sold. I'm guessing it was bought by some propaganda group that has some guy with a terminal with hundreds of the damn things copy pasting across multiple forums.

    I remember seeing a reddit account of mine a few years back for $50.

    Why would I persecute a Communist? That's what other communists are for. I've got stuff to do, man.

    Yeah, things were better back in 2014, when Rip and his cadre were communist revolutionaries.

    It's a military parade.

    Subby is right on this, Francesco. I am now at my third installment of a Marxist economics default, only this time it is bigger.

    Ok so, is this about countries signing up or business signing up? Like, the country signs up for the funding and "gets it", but a business in that country can decide to just not do it right? Or is it completely enforced and mandatory?

    I guess the bigger question is, does this matter at all if the banking system needs to bail itself out of collapsing again?

    Oh by the way, as banks are collapsing in Silicon Valley, Bitcoin's price went up 30% in 1 day. Just a note.
