Finally, the “Bee Movie” and “A Bugs Life” cross over that I’ve been begging for

That’s the system we have now

The Drake version is for things that pedophiles would like or dislike. It basically has the same meaning as a Jeffrey Epstein version of the meme, but without the transference of meaning of images. History has transferred the meaning for us.

I wonder if pedophiles still use the Drake meme in the old way?

Hah! Good luck finding one

And good luck voting with your dollars

This is the comment I responded to initially: https://midwest.social/post/23827090/15643582

Capcom regularly puts out certified bangers. I’ll keep buying their games for as long as those games are high quality experiences are worth the money. They can learn about microtransactions by me not buying those lol.

I was agreeing with someone else, and was sarcastically called a “good little consumer.” Which fine, but I’m going to respond. So no, the comment I initially responded to was not informing people not to buy, the next I responded to was a sarcastic remark, and the next was, I believe flawed, justification for why its objectively wrong to buy a game? Or buy it on day one, or something.

Is the objective to silence me? To make me follow along with a mainstream opinion that I don’t agree with? I just want to play the new MH and not be made to feel bad about it.

Maybe I’m not as up to date on all the nuances of this argument, but how do you think I feel when I spend significant time and energy learning and educating about political theory and practice, just to have people disagree with me from a point of ignorance?

Maybe its just something you all are gonna have to learn to deal with, having people who share your interests but not your opinions disagree with you.

I don’t believe in voting with your wallet, I believe in organizing. Individuals can never stand against an organization. A large group of individuals doing what they think is right but not working together can’t win against even a much smaller organized force. In fact I think that your idea is little more than propaganda to keep the masses weakened in the face of power that is intentionally organized against us.

But I don’t play monster hunter to engage in political theory, I do it because it is a highly technical game with a steep learning curve. For whatever reason, a major stress reliever for me is to perform difficult actions with my hands. That’s all I want.

We are all treat brained little piggies in our own way, it shouldn’t be controversial. I don’t play genshin impact but if you do, whatever. Like I said, I work full time, I have a life full of family and friends, and I volunteer my time and energy to make my community better. If I wanna spend $70 on one of the like 3 game series that I really like, I shouldn’t have to justify that to other gamers ffs. The problem with the gaming industry is a problem with capitalism, its called the tendency for the rate of profit to fall. Enshitification has been a proven phenomenon about for like 150 years. Voting with your dollars is pointless when it is the dollars themselves which are the problem.

Sorry I took time out of my week raising a family, working full time, and trying to build a mass movement to fight against the worst abuses of our economic system to enjoy something sometimes and that it offends your vendetta against the oil and gas Industr… Oh sorry I meant industrial agricult… Wait it’s the gaming Industry? You’re mad about a game? Okay buddy

I’ve been a die hard MH fan for like 20-25 years or something ridiculous. I’m gonna buy and play this game, don’t really care what people think about the gaming industry

I read the whole bible as an adult.

But the discipline that took, probably shows that I was starting to think more deeply about things

They can’t. Its not a matter of personal greed, its just how capitalism works, it creates immense wealth for a few on one end and mass immiseration for the masses on the other. Billionaires exist because of the system that creates them.

My son showed me this last night, its insane. Its like one video from his feed and then two videos of people getting mauled

Your own citation says there is no basis for it in Lenin, like what did I just quote?

As I said above, if you can produce this quote, I will send you $50. If you’re not comfortable with that for identity reasons I will send $50 to any charity you specify (that isn’t right wing but you wouldn’t do that) and post the evidence. It is actually worth at least that much to me since I’ve spent an insane amount of time trying to find this reference.

I’ve had hexbears and .mls tell me it came from an obscure periodical that isn’t translated into English, but when I used google translate to convert the entire article, paragraph by paragraph, I never found anything even glancingly close.

If you find a reference by Marx, Luxemburg, Gramsci, Bordiga, Levi, Pannekoek, Plekhanov, Zinoviev, Trotsky, Stalin, Dunayevskaya – basically any major left wing revolutionary theoretician of renown I will still honor the arrangement because it’s worth it to me. Please find the reference or leave me alone. I can’t state my case any better without writing a full length article and I’m tired of this back and forth, I’m sure you are too.

I know, the irony is I’m criticizing people for not bothering to learn history and theory, and then you call a few paragraphs that I wrote in like 5 minutes “a novel”. Please try and keep up, or actually contribute to the discussion, smart guy

This actually isn’t real difficult for someone with even a molecule of intellectual honesty.

You posted this link, which you apparently didn’t read: https://checkyourfact.com/2019/11/29/fact-check-karl-marx-capitalist-hang-sold-rope-quote/

The last line of the article says this:

The saying, Quote Investigator noted, is frequently attributed to Lenin and former Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin, though there’s “no substantive evidence” it originated with them either.

The Quote investigator link says:

The earliest strong match located by QI appeared in 1955 within a periodical called “The Commonwealth: Official Journal of the Commonwealth Club of California”. The club is a non-profit public affairs organization. The quotation appeared as a filler item. Emphasis added to excerpts by QI:1

Lenin wrote, “When it comes time to hang the capitalists, they will vie with each other for the rope contract.” —Major George Racey Jordan

Jordan was a U.S. military officer who became a fierce anti-communist. Lenin had died in 1924; hence, the 1955 date was quite late. No documentary source was specified, and multiple researchers have been unable to find a match in Lenin’s writings.

Its breathtaking to be accused of having a superiority complex by someone who, when confronted with their own ignorance, invents a “working class zeitgeist” to gesture towards as if that means jack or shit.
