I got suspended a few days ago after getting into it with a landlord. He said Mao killed 500 billion people or whatever and landlords were indiscriminately murdered and asked me if I supported that. I said if it was people like him who were the target then it had my full and uncritical support. I normally don’t get that far into it on Reddit but this was after he said he enjoyed watching tenants “scurry like roaches” after being served a 3 day notice to vacate. I don’t care if they restore my account, I’m done with that site anyways. Fuck Reddit and fuck landlords.

Getting paid to be a China doomer in the U.S. must be the easiest grift of all time.

I would say we should direct them to healthier and more productive passions like knitting but we all know the moment we turn our backs they’ll just be making swastikas.

This is just one person’s account, but my friend is a nurse at the local hospital. They are currently down to only four people with COVID. Two of them were hospitalized for other reasons and then happened to test positive. We’re in a state that is highly vaccinated and was very good about enforcing masks. Even then, the hospital staff was surprised how quickly the cases dropped off starting early this month.

That’s correct. It’s a longer video than what is probably normal for sharing here, but I think it’s worthwhile for those comrades who can spare the time. The avenues for disinformation and division have certainly changed, but many of their methods have remained consistent.
