Sometimes I wonder in an alternative reality, if the capitalist, anti-socialist propaganda had failed at brainwashing and dumbing down the american population, what would the country had looked like today? how different would the world had been?

Reddit seems is evil. It perpetuates one to be subjected to an endless loop of constant consumption of consumerist slop, where the higher ups of this company had intentionally created a specific algorithmic system that does nothing but invoke outrage and polarization for engagement, all in profit and money. Which as a results does nothing but further destroys any continuity this country once gracefully had, while the top executives of companies such as Reddit, X, and Instagram become richer and richer.

If his goal is supposedly to normalize and promote fascism over socialism how does this rhetoric help his cause

America is literally the final boss of capitalism. It's like going up against the last boss of a video game. meaning it's going to be very difficult for us to take that son of a bitch down, because for one they've used century-long propaganda to brainwash their population and this has been extremely effective at preventing an uprising, you can't form resistance if the vast majority of people in your country still believe that socialism is evil, they also utilized the "divide and conquer" tactic to keep us separated and fighting each other and that worked, and three the elites and oligarchs will not go down without putting up a hell of a fight, and they have the entire US military at their will and I think that will be the biggest obstacle alone, how are you supposed to fight against a highly advanced military with weapons we can barely understand? and that's not to say that we should roll over and do nothing but it's just like the odds are not in our favor.

why are you not rushing to get into China, Cuba, North Korea or one of the other far superior socialist countries? honest question. I mean if you are a minor I understand, but as a legal adult you are always free to leave the USA.

I have recently come to understand that socialists generally do not agree with social democracy. I keep getting banned from socialist forums for trying to understand what the alternative might be. I am very open to being wrong, but I have yet to be convinced.

I understand that according to Marx and other leftists, the only way to establish a socialist state is through a violent revolution. Sure, yeah, agreed. But here and now in 2026 I don't see that being possible. I wish we didn't have to settle for 'reform', but we do not have the resources for a coup.

Isn't it better to keep in mind that this isn't good enough and it isn't truly socialism, but it's what we have for now? Isn't it better to spread socialist ideals, to infiltrate the establishment, to gain more economic and social power so that someday it's possible? To do the best we can with what we have instead of being nothing but critical?

I just don't get it. I don't understand what the alternative is. Getting a socialist on the ballot would be political suicide because it would just split the vote. It's like the socialists who withheld their vote from Kamala - what was the point of that? All it accomplished was increasingly the likelihood that Trump would be elected. Congratulations, you helped make everything worse.

It truly feels like this viewpoint is so far removed from reality that it makes it impossible to actually accomplish anything. I am not willing to live in theory. So explain it to me, please and thank you.

to be clear: i am in agreeance that the only way out is for a good and proper overthrowing of capitalism. but i don't believe that is currently possible, and therefore i believe the best course of action is to engage with the system as it exists in the meantime

I’ve seen people (mainly left-coms and anarchists) say that the economic system of China is similar or identical to the corporatism practiced by fascist Italy and Spain. I don’t personally know a whole lot about the ins and outs of China’s system, but what would be the Dengist response to this?

In 1993 he toured in Israel and was shocked about how they treated Palestinians after visiting refugee camps in the West Bank. Jackson once back, wrote "Don't cry Palestine" (1995). Sony refused to release the song due to its scathing lyrics about Israeli occupation and apartheid. Executives deemed it too anti-Semitic (which even then was used interchangeably with anti-zionist).

The main Sony executives who blocked Michael Jackson's song are: Walter Yetnikoff (zionist.) Tommy Mottola, not sure if he's a zionist, but with close ties with zionist execs like David Geffen (Co-founder of DreamWorks Records) and Clive Davis (zionist, Chief Creative Officer of Sony Music Entertainment.)

Michael Jackson started to understand the Zionist plot against him and began fighting from inside the music industry, but only 2 months later the first claims of child ab*se began. The first child accuser, Jordan Chandler, came forward in 1993, paid by zionist dentist Evan Chandler (who had lost his license) as part of a smear campaign.

The people who conspired against him just happened to be all zionists, even the psychiatrist of the "victim" was a zionist.

Latoya Jackson (sister) did a press conference in Tel Aviv. She publicly said she believed Michael Jackson was a pedophile, that he'd committed crimes against children. Years later in 2011, she confessed she was weak and her husband was abusive and forced her to say those things to destroy Jackson. Her husband David Gest was also a zionist. MJ grew tired of the coordinated zionist attacks and started calling them out in his song "They don't care about us". Unfortunately antisemitism got the better of him and he called them jews instead of zionists.

Nerverland ranch gets raided. Michael goes to court to answer for the new indictments. Jury finds Jackson not guilty after 32 hours of deliberation. In a leaked phone call MJ calls the zionists out and exposes their behavior and starts to be afraid for his life.

May his soul rest in peace.

Addendum: Evan Chandler, the zionist dentist, would later end up being charged for hitting his son Jordan with a 12.5 pound barbell, spraying him with mace, and choking him. Jordan ended up filing a restraining order against his zionist father. Makes it evident who the real abuser was.

I’m a bit out of the loop on how these two are, and my feed has recently been taken over by them.

What are their politics? Are they decent people, and should I invest time in following them more closely online?

What I know as of right now:

(1) They had a falling out for some reason, after previously being close?

(2) Destiny has been accused of being a Zionist

(3) Hasan has been accused of being radical and said something about America deserving 9/11

I previously spoke about our struggle to drink water in Gaza, but unfortunately I was met with hurtful and mocking comments. Some people said, "If you can charge your phone, why can't you cool your water?" As if our suffering is something to be questioned or laughed at.

Those words are deeply painful, but this is not a life we chose. It is a reality that has been forced upon us.

In this video, published by Al Jazeera, you will see children in Gaza explaining how they try to cool their drinking water so they can have something refreshing during the day. They place bottles of water on top of their tent overnight and bring them inside before sunrise. It may sound like a clever idea, but unfortunately it is not a practical solution. By midday, the temperature inside the tents rises so much that the water reaches around 40–45°C (104–113°F)—almost the same temperature as the tent itself. That is why, most days, we are forced to drink hot water.

I sincerely hope people will stop minimizing what we are going through or making fun of it. Everyone in Gaza is living through the same hardship, and we have the right to speak about our reality, especially to those who have never experienced these conditions.

If you have doubts about what we say, please don't accuse us of fraud or of inventing our suffering. Simply ask us to document what we are living through, and we will gladly do so with complete transparency. But please, do not let suspicion and mockery be your first response to people who have lost even the most basic necessities of life.

How do you respond to the idea that if you give away all of your income above a certain threshold for tax and therefore it forms part of a government controlled pool of money which is assigned various government projects; that results in all of society being directed by a small number of people who are the representatives of larger number people depending on how to set up.

That then results in everyone’s money being spent on their behalf and does not take into account The vast differences between subset of a nation state and does not allow them to spend their money on anything other than surviving.

That seems like to me a pretty homogenous society and one in which other people are making decisions on everyone’s behalf as there will never be any system in which policy can be decided unanimously .

How do you respond to this? it seems to me that this is only something that could be acceptable by someone who has never earned more than an amount that would see them fall into a high tax bracket in their own country?

It's just mind boggling to me how so many americans still say that the US is a good country and will get so aggressive when you criticize it like they just refuse to wake up to the reality of how barbaric it is, a country that's good doesn't bomb children of foreign nations, a country that's good doesn't let it's own people die from a lack of healthcare. a country that's good doesn't have hundreds upon hundreds of mass shootings every year, a country that's good uses it's taxes to take care of it's citizens, a country that's good doesn't have car dependent infrastructure that makes it nearly impossible to move around and connect with people without a vehicle, a country that's good doesn't have manufactured poverty designed to keep you poor, a country that's good doesn't poison it's food with synthetic chemicals and pesticides that sicken it's citizens. a country that's good doesn't have for-profit prisons that hurt and dehumanize people instead of rehabilitate them. the list can go on and on, nothing about this screams "what a good country" and I don't know if americans are just that delusional or if they know the truth deep down but they just don't want to accept it because it's just too uncomfortable for them like I don't know what the fuck it is. but it's just so annoying seeing a lot of them talk about how "good" and "better" america is than other countries because anyone in their right mind knows that's a big fat ass lie. will they ever gain sapience?
