Ah yes, black-and-white thinking on politics always leads to amazing results. Very mature \s
I'm sure the boot appreciates the necks nuanced approach to discourse.
The boot definitely appreciates you only pay attention to it and not the rest of the body pushing it down on your neck.
nobody's boot is on your neck. other than the imaginary one you put on your own to make yourself feel like a victim.
but hey extremist analogies of oppression are a great excuse to indulge in your own shitty and evil behaviours, no? so why not run with it. you know who is the most oppressed in their own mind? the billionaires.
Unless you are at the top of any hierarchical structure, then someone's boot is on your neck even if you are too dumb to notice it.
Yeah...... But their version of being oppressed is not getting to buy their third megag yacht. While other people's oppression is being put into a concentration camp. Most people have the ability to objectively measure the difference between the two.
lol, this is fucking wild for you to be telling people without knowing anything about their situation.
oh and what situation is that?
I've interacted with folks here who told me their situation, and often it was just a series of their own poor life-choices. like this guy who told me he was oppressed because he wanted to be a music producer and AI stole his job... right buddy, right. it's that AI stole your job and not that you wanted to enter a professor where nobody makes any money... and rather than going and learning a useful skill you just sit around whining on the internet how your life is unfair if only the 'revolution' would come you'll be a successful music producer...
Yeah man, clearly it's 'the boot on my neck' that I am not a successful movie star! I was the star actor in my high school drama club! Clearly it was facism that stopped be from being a Hollywood movie star!
except no, i wasn't that stupid. I went to college, studied useful things, and built myself up through working part time gigs and then got a full time job and 20 years later I'm comfortable because of... making good choices and not wasting my life chasing 'dreams'. pretty much like... most everyone I know who didn't have social connections or rich parents...
Maybe also study how society works. Not everybody can follow your lead.
...yes. That is the point this post is making.
