      Remember when Trump first got elected and Anonymous absolutely everything just suddenly vanished?

      Now it’s only Trump this, trump that… all the time, your comment as an example, so if he didn’t say anything about anonymous then no one has heard anything about them.

      What are you talking about. They did some hacker shit when he got elected. A lot of it is Ukraine and Israel related.

        If it did happen, it certainly flew my under my radar. Which is strange. Then again, Trump is a noisemaker.

      Lol, no. Anonymous had splinted years before then. Lizard Squad (the dipshits that DDoS’d Xbox live and Sony’s online service for Christmas holiday in 2014 was one such branch).

        People love gaslightning and trying to make things sound like a conspiracy, ever since the fall of Lulz it has sort of “died” you’d see a lot happening both to governments and companies now it’s just mostly going after governments, I’d not be surprised if it was just foreign intel agencies to not take the blame for leaking

    Ha! I’m already doing this. I have an account on a t-shirt vendor site where I upload some low effort anti-capitalism design every week. I dont make much money but I giggle my balls off that people buy it. Like a Che Guevara t-shirt from Hot Topic in the 90s… Some people just dont get irony.

      I first found out about them through their collab with the lead singer of Weezer and they’ve quickly become one of my new favorite bands

        Nice! You must be talking about ‘end of me’ then haha. Funny, for me its kind of the other way round, knew/liked BT for some time and then getting more into Weezer. Saw BT live once in 2022 and can recommend 100%. Will see them again for sure (and Weezer already just around the corner next month).

              the Blue Planet tour was awesome, I liked that it had a loose plotline to follow. i’m assuming they’re continuing it for when you go to see them but it’s definitely well worth the experience. I hope you have fun!

    It’s got a point, but capitalists will also gladly sell you every tool you need to overthrow them as long as you have the money for it.

    Nearly 150 million adults in the USA can go buy a semi auto rifle right now, even if their plan is to point it at Colt and Smith and Wesson.

        I’m speaking specifically about how many Americans have the legal ability to buy these weapons. The cost involved is why I added the “if they have the money” line.

        There’s also the cost.

        Hi-Point: The hole-puncher for the common folk.

        Or auction house AK variants. Or strike old school fear into fascism with a Mosin Nagant or an M1 Garand (ping!).

        Lol memes aside (and not judging!) there’s hardware to fill the need at all price points. It’s the ammo that’s hard to keep up with! Also, safety (and skill) training could be a lot more universally accessible and applied.

        The time to gain familiarity and proficiency is also a severely limiting factor, and of course the working class have less and less of it.

        I think our general attitude and understanding about firearms (in the U.S/“West”) has been intentionally poisoned into some bizarre right-wing fetish thing specifically to make sure level-headed, educated, reasonable people who weren’t ultra-capitalists wouldn’t be the group statistically holding a stupidly unholy amount of them.

        I guess my point is: Capitalism will sell you whatever you like. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a vetting process for its preferred audience. It simply adjusts the culture to make the very idea revolting to those it would prefer not selling to, and amplifying the signal to stupidly comical degrees to its target audience.

            Well, the Mosin, being a bolt-action, was a bit of a meme funny inclusion…

            …but technically the Garand, and any AK/SKS kinda rifle, are (or can be) semi-automatic wherein a pull of a trigger discharges a single round. And yes, Hi-Point also makes rifle models Lol.

            Companies like Kel-Tec also market to the civilian affordability crowd.

            I dunno, was I missing the point of this emphasis maybe? Let me know if something went over my head. :)

        Sell the people torches and pitchforks, which they promptly use to stab and char you. As they say, sell them shovels in a gold rush.

          Except today, it would be a shovel that is designed to break at around 100 uses so that you have to come back to buy a new shovel every few days or so.

          Nah see, the trick is to first convince the buyers other average people are the enemy. Double the sales, none of the consequences.

        I think the earliest documented version of this quote (1955 October 31, The Commonwealth: Official Journal of the Commonwealth Club of California) is more intriguing:

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