Nol Malone ☭If you think the US is a Democracy, and not just a complicated form of slavery that benefits the few, you really aren't paying attention.

Open air prison disguised as a nation.
mike805@Kalshann @anolandria This is why the Left/Right divide is so important and has been stoked up so vigorously.
If we're divided between gender theory and prayer in schools, we are not voting 60/40 for our bottom line interests.
Which we should be.
Jay@mike805 @Kalshann @anolandria Bottom line interests include civil rights like freedom of and from religion, personal privacy, and bodily autonomy.
The correct reaction to the rich and powerful destroying daily life for the majority is not to cede defense of civil rights to fight for economic justice; rather, to defend said rights is to engage in economic justice.
@WhiteCatTamer @Kalshann @anolandria The division I am talking about is the one where if you are in favor of thing A you are supposed to oppose thing B and vice versa.
The rich have divided "rights" into to mutually hostile packages and want to force people to choose.
@mike805 @Kalshann @anolandria No, civil rights are a whole package for the left. No one who is in favor of bodily autonomy and trans rights is in favor of forced prayer in schools.
People can pray in schools. That violates no one’s rights. What DOES is FORCED prayer, and that’s what the “prayer in schools” advocates want. They want FEWER rights.
@WhiteCatTamer @Kalshann @anolandria And while we're disputing that stuff, the billionaires have created enough new printed money to take all of the new wealth for themselves.
Obvious example is abortion. Everyone thought that was settled, until they needed a wedge. Then it got un-settled.
Which was the purpose of the Culture War all along. They DGAF about trans rights or prayer (except for the ones who are into occult stuff, I guess that's a form of prayer.) They do want all the wealth.
@mike805 @Kalshann @anolandria Again, you have it backwards. We need economic justice in order to protect civil rights, and strong civil rights enable seeking economic justice.
That billionaires rile up conservatives and “””moderates””” does not mean we can make concessions on civil rights. That kind of calculus is EXACTLY what they want.

The Theory of Open Air Prison can be applied to any Nation State ever, so yeah, this planet is basically an open air prison lol, despite it's different from the Prison Planet hypothesis from New Agers.
Anyway, yeah, despite all criticism against Jiang Xueqin, he's right about social control and about nation states as brainwashing and Social Control System.

I imagine the insane arguments Pro-Capitalism Apologists would do for justify it (and they do it already) lol

I don't know if I sent this map already.
I think it says everything about how much slave trade and slavery are still present and still affect modern-day world.
You can't separate Capitalism and the West from slave trade, colonialism, imperialism etc.

I think what disturbs me the most are most technically all of Europe abstained from it (abstain = moderate vote against), including countries which never had formal colonies lol. It's wacky for sure. But it's expectable.
Russia, Belarus, Serbia, Turkey, and Azerbaijan voting for it while the rest of Europe abstained says a lot lol

This is exactly the purpose of Fox "news":
Fox: "The War on Christmas!"
MAGA: "Grrr!!!"
Fox: "Drag shows!"
MAGA: "Grrr!!!"
Fox: "Obama wore a tan suit!"
MAGA: "Grrr!!!"
Keep them angry about fake shit that doesn't affect them, and they'll always vote for the billionaires without thinking.
@beeftacos @Kalshann @anolandria It was equally the purpose of CNN for the last few years.
"Trump is doomed because..." over and over again.
"The war on (identity group) intensifies."
"New variant of COVID, run and hide! (while we make money)"
The partisan media on both sides are the left and right hands of a puppeteer. They argue with each other keeping the audience's attention while their pockets are picked.
The Left never gets what they were promised any more than the Trumpies do.
@mike805 @beeftacos @Kalshann Exactly right. The for profit media/political system is designed to keep us fighting each other so we don't realize the real problem is that a very few evil people live in opulence on the backs of the rest. The US revolution's attempt to end royalty failed.
All we got rid of were titles.
Their power, and our servitude, stayed largely the same.
It's time we tried again.
@anolandria @beeftacos @Kalshann Quite a bit more detail is possible there. The USA broke away from the British financial empire with the Revolutionary War.
The war of 1812 was the first attempt to take it back, but that failed.
The slavery issue was stoked up until the Civil War broke out. That got the USA back into debt serfdom, and it has never escaped since.
British agents and early Zionists had a major role in getting the USA into WW1.
The Empire partially moved to the USA after WW2.
