The billionaires/parasite class will be the death of civilisation. Someone needs to remove, with extreme prejudice, all the wealthy so we can reclaim the money they have stolen through immoral tax cuts, unpaid taxes, stolen wages, environmental destruction. Reclamation without reparations - take back the public assets and give them nothing.

Be careful what you wish for. Those of us living in developed countries may be considered part of the parasite class by those in developing or undeveloped countries. The line between parasite and host is completely arbitrary.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago

I thought it quite obvious that the line is between the workers vs the bourgeois/capitalists/0.1%/. Anyone thinking differently needs a quick socialism/marxism/lenninism refresher course.

After all, there's no war but the class war.

You have your parasites and they have theirs which are not you.

[–] arbilp3@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago

And "they and us" also have shared parasites: the banksters, the weapons industry, and the fossil fuel industry to name 3.

[–] arbilp3@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago

What can you expect from the fossil-brained lobby? Evade the truth, project their failings onto others and get a horde of compliant minions to parrot whatever narrative they manufacture.

maybe its time to deploy your EMU forces again.
