why the everloving actual fuck is everyone and their mom in my internets feeds talking about seeing the damn barbie movie that i wouldn't have even known existed otherwise.

we're 3 years out of the biggest global conjob - that killed and impoverished people nearly everywhere - arguably in human history, we've got dingbat sleepy joe letting the military industrial complex walk us all further towards WWIII with 2 nuclear armed powers, and americans are all "OMG DID YOU SEE THERE'S A BARBIE MOVIE NOW?!?!?"

i've been told it apparently is "good" and has broad themes around "existentialism" to which i say the following:

NO.

i will not see this fucking movie. here are 3 other things i will not see, that came immediately to mind when hearing that barbie is apparently existentialist now:

a. a film about the poop emoji but it’s a retelling of the buddha’s journey

b. a movie about a furby who decides to become a revolutionary political activist and rid the world of nuclear weapons

c. bladerunner 3 except instead of replicants they’re all beanie babies now.

...

long story short, barbie ≠ existentialism and i couldn't care less how good it is. i'm not fucking watching it. FFS america.




...thank you for coming to my dissertation.

just in case you were wondering,

seagate has the absolute worst customer support i've ever dealt with in all my life.

you know, not that i didn't want to waste a whole work day + the previous evening trying to exchange a still-under-warranty external harddrive that started malfunctioning within 3 months of purchase, and have my bank account charged 6 times for one replacement order thanks to their stupid AuToMaTeD system that is completely broken.

the tech industry is run by fucking asshats.

as with most things in the ever-propagandized and PsyOp'd united states, what socialism and communism actually are, and what actual socialists and communists think, are likely not what you've been led to believe - at all.







Happy 4th of July from the Party of Communists USA!


On the Meaning of July 4th for Communists

On July 4 we celebrate one of the greatest events of history - the signing of the first great modern charter of democracy, the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Though five more years of war were needed to give King George III and his Tory supporters their final defeat, the democratic American nation had its birth on that day.

The Declaration of Independence was based on a solid confidence and faith in the common man, in the ability of people to govern themselves. The final authority rests with the people who are the real rulers. According to the intentions of Jefferson and most of the signers, this principle was to be the basis for the American system of government.

This doctrine was most disagreeable to the big American merchants who did a prosperous trade with England, to the aristocratic, the prosperous and the privileged, to the officers, judges, and countless other officials of the British crown and their hangers-on. To these gentry Washington’s army and supporters were the “propertyless rabble” whom they hated and feared far more than foreign domination. These are the gentlemen who organized the Tory party, who financed, supported and spied for the English king against their countrymen.

But side by side with riches there grew poverty. We have within our borders some of the most beautiful cities in the world, but in those cities there are slums that breed crime and disease. We have factories and plants that can produce food, clothing and modern housing for twice our population, but many of our people are hungry, ill-clad, ill-housed. Our old people approach age with fear and insecurity.

What has happened to the America of Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, Tom Paine, the America of Valley Forge and Yorktown? The answer is: the rise of monopoly capital. Stated in another way, great banks and corporations, fattening on the labor of workers and farmers and by devouring small enterprises, have gathered in to their hands ownership and control of the sources of wealth of our country.

The concentration of wealth into the hands of the few has naturally meant that enormous political power has also been concentrated into these same hands. Exactly what Thomas Jefferson feared and sought to prevent had come to pass.

The history of America since Jefferson has been largely the struggle of the American people against the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the few. Even at the very birth of the republic the representatives of the entrenched wealth of the day, of whom Alexander Hamilton was the outstanding spokesman, sought to secure economic and political power for the large propertied interests. To this end they bitterly opposed a democratic constitution. It was only after a long popular struggle that Jefferson won the inclusion of the Bill of Rights in to the Constitution as the first ten Amendments.

Today the nation is again faced with a decisive struggle between the forces of democracy and progress and the forces of reaction.
