A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Can we please just kill these fucks.

Other half, that is propaganda language so people think there is a chance to be on the other side on the coin when in reality it is how the other .0000000000001 lives.

Oh I meant it in the snarkiest way possible.

RPG into that bitch

That's M/Y Octopus. It has 2 helipads and it's own mini-submarine. It was built for Paul Allen, not sure who got it after he died.

And you all say the 2nd amendment shouldn't include RPGs.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

underwater drones probably work better for boats. See Yemen.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 hours ago

Ukraine too. They've effectively defeated the entire Russian navy with drones alone.

Why haven't I seen stories about how this has been molotov'd yet?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

With how cheap drones are now, and how Ukraine (and others) have proven their efficacy as weapons, I'm surprised we don't see a large uptick in "domestic terrorism" using drones. It'd be so easy to stick a molotov on a drone and crash it into this, or just drop it. I've seen far dumber and harder attacks that people have tried. It's probably like $100 or something for a drone now (I have no idea honestly, could be cheaper) and a few bucks for a gallon of gasoline.

What you need is some magnets attached to some "excitable material" just below the waterline. Anyone with scuba gear could make Zucks day a bad one, in Minecraft, of course.

You can stand on bridges which are also freeways to drop... Things... At opportune moments, then just drive away.

Are you saying that an e-bike, ala Luigi, is the smarter choice?

Because people are wimps

And that's just the yacht that takes them to the floating helicopter pad where they are flown to the ACTUAL yacht.

Sheesh, how many workers do you have to lay off before one with nothing to lose gets let go?

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 31 points 1 day ago

don't you remember the occupy wall street photos with the mega wealthy drinking champagne on their balconies smirking watching the protestors ?

this is that again

Why hasn't somebody sunk it yet?

[–] irotsoma@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago

No one can afford to buy the explosives, because he laid them all off. LOL

The founding fathers wanted the citizens of the United States to own torpedos

I’m not going to say that Putin is right about his politics, weaponized mass humanitarian sabotage, military choices, personal style, or really anything else, but I’ve always liked that he pops the heads off of his oligarchs to drink their fortunes from their still pulsating necks. Wish the IRS had the balls to do the same.

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Except not really. If you're loyal to him, everything's fine... but if you go against him, you'll fall out a window. And all the US oligarchs basically do the same thing.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

In the US, they execute people for their money?

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 3 points 18 hours ago

No, and they don't really do that in Russia either. The goal is to get everyone bowing down to the leader, falling out of windows is just the easiest way for the state to get a loyal crony running the company. The US just likes to do it in other ways.

If he doesnt get kicked in the dick even once while he is there we have failed as a society.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago

Allegedly he's not here. The ship is just being serviced, probably before going to to Alaska since we're a common stopping point on that route.

Man, this picture was taken from the perfect vantage point...

Well, at least the rich have the same issue as the common people on the road with the vehicles getting bigger...
