Do you believe that domestic capitalists don't do everything you just listed?

Horrible if true. Many fascists are pedophiles so no surprise there.

A software grant program pays to produce software, then releases it as open source. Have a modular system for the software so that modders can expand utility or cosmetic changes they need to the system. This can be applied to industrial software or gaming software. The software soviet can negotiate price or technical difficulties that change release time to have a proper dialectic with the public.

Digital artist soviets can can be commissioned to create the default art for games as open source. However individual commissions of mod art for games and release them for individuals if they want and require it to be open source it after a certain time period maybe a year. It is at the discussion of moderator soviets what mod art can be used for multiplayer games for practical reasons and reporting fascists.

Lots of lithium is being discovered in Mexico, China, and Argintina. With climate change the thawing out polar reigions, perhaps more lithium will be discovered in Canada and Siberia. Also people in temperate climates can have devices not using lithium which means that the lithium can be used for people living in colder climates.

So these batteries have Calcium metal anodes and Graphite cathodes. The optimal electrolyte that they tested this with is Calcium Chloride. All of these chemicals are commonly found everywhere and not likely to create conflict minerals, which is awesome! These batteries are rechargable as well! It might be a decade or so to go from science to engineering a means to mass produce these but a great win for humanity! The only downside is that they don't perform well in temperatures less than 0° C. Which means that some outdoor use batteries will likely still require lithium in areas with seasonal temperature drops.

Consumers in the US are getting a worse deal due to inflation, corporate greed, and the inability of bourgeoisie governments to make concessions to the masses in the imperial core. The utter insanity of unstoppable unpopular neoliberalism is what drives people away from the status quo. It is the job of Marxists to explain that another world is possible and to their benefit to lead them away from the foolish answers of fascism. Attempts to reform like Roosevelt did were insufficient to make capitalism work for the proletariat of Turtle Island.

As democracy gets eroded by the Republicans and as the Democrats do nothing to stop them. I don't see an electoral way out of this.

Marxists must be seen as the solution to people's very real problems so that the easy answers of blaming trans people, ethnic minorities, women, and foreigners are less appealing. The trade union movement is coming back for the most exploited of the first world. The Indigenous sovereignty movement is also becoming more mainstream.

These are things that I think marxists can do on Turtle island:

Expand the use of permaculture with indigenous knowledge. Get the local tribes on board with this if they are not. Join them if they are currently doing this. Find ways to make this scale enough to feed the current population of your reigion. Obtain as much land to expand these practices and/or encourage current farmers to do this. This combats soil erosion, fossil fuel consumption and acknowledges in a real way that the best managers of this land are not the settlers, but the indigenous peoples.

Expand anti consumptionist practices in communities enough for people to opt out of capitalism. Capitalism encourages consumption and people feel like they have no choice but to consume. Create institutions to help people share items that are often owned but not used often. This is beneficial to the would be consumer because it it would cost less than owning and storing these items. This is better for the environment becuase it requires less production. This is also undermines imperialism because the need for cheaply produced goods from exploited nations can be replaced with durable quality goods, locally produced, perhaps of recycled materials, open source design, and designed in a manner that it is easy to repair for the good of all of us.

None of this shit is controversial, nor asking for someone to accept a worse state of affairs for moral reasons.

Sorry for the transphobic trope. That wasn't my intention.

It just makes me think they are piece of shit human being before considering gender. Do these people care more about their gender more than their morality? They are parading stolen goods from a possibly dead person. I can understand if someone was deprived of wealth by severe income inequality and wanting to show what they fought for, however these are just lingerie, not particularly difficult goods for soldiers to obtain. I was just confused as to why they would be proud to share this with the world. I haven't interacted with many sex offenders before. Do they get a sick high transgressing against innocent people? It makes it even worse if its people they just murdered. It wasn't enough to kill them? Is it the twisted fascist politics that permits them to get rewarded for their twisted ways?

History indicates we don't live in a just world and for justice to exist, it requires people to fight for it. I'm distant from all of this, but i hope they are killed by insurgents and if Israel falls, they might luck into serving time in some prison. I hope the US doesn't protect these homicidal delinquents again like they did with the Nazis.

I guess I've never wanted to rob a woman's clothes nor seen anyone brag about this kind of thing in person. Its one of the most childish pranks to upset women. Those involved in these acts seem to have an air of desperation about them. Almost as if the closest they they can ever get to a woman is by violating them. I guess my conception of masculinity is using ones strength to promote righteousness, which completely contrasts a bunch of heavily armed thugs in armor stealing some poor woman's underwear.

I'm confused by how this is a masculinity thing. Men inspecting and showing off women's clothing seems like something a trans fem person would do.

Perhaps this is a grotesque Victoria's secret commercial.

Use Linux with KDE plasma or Cinnamon as a desktop environment. Their defaults look very similar to windows 7 or 8. You can change the start button to look like Monokuma or the windows icon if you feel like it. The icon sizes are customizable in cinnamon and very customizable in KDE plasma.

That is the most H&M as I've ever wanted to see.
