Prison (hell #1) and homelessness (hell #2): the two whips of the capitalist state to lash us into wage labour slavery. "No underpaid job can be too bad to accept, or do you want to risk not be able paying your exorbitant rent, risk to become homeless? Sell your labour for the lowest price so some capitalist can make 2-3 times the profit of what you gain, which is bareley enough to pay another capitalist your rent." This is what the capitalist state enforces by holding up these two hells. We don't have a prison system by accident, homelessness is not a natural phenomenon. They exist by design. It's not about the money that prisons cost in comparison to what housing a homeless person costs. The money for prisons is a fair price to pay for a capitaliat state given the MUCH larger sum of money that its capitalist class can extract of us by making us obedient and doing the even shittest job for the shittest pay to suck the most possible surplus out of our work.
Become communist.
Sabotage.
Seize the means of production.
Be a grain of sand in this machine.
Bad idea because companies will frame it as "going the cashier route will cost you 10% more!" while you pay the old price st the self check-out.
Here in Europe a lot of groceries are being shoplifted at the self checkout. People are taking their own discounts.
Newer self checkouts now have cameras built in and random controls are so freqent they are a huge annoyance. Spermarkets seem to be pissed.
For me it really depends on the business model. Okay he won't profit from the purchase but how much will you still (be forced to) pay in the Tesla ecosystem with a 2nd hand car and shift capital to him? I am really uninformed about this but this would be my guideline in the decision.
I know a few very decent people who have bought like 6-7 years back. Especially back then this was just (at first sight, they were paying later when services came...) the best electric car out there. This has changed (BYD etc), and I don't want to get into the general "cars suck" discussion here. Not my poimt. All I wanna say is that I in no way judge per se anybody driving an "old" model S. Not every average customer did the research and maybe it was a bit more known to the general public in the US than in the rest of the world what a douchebag Elon was let's say pre 2020. All the newer/Tesla versions and their buyers? They can go fuck themselves because no excuse after DOGE any more. You're directly supporting fascism. Everybody knows today.
Israel will just white-wash stuff if necessary. Thus, as long as there is no proper way to certify if a good from the illegal settlementts or from Israel the precautionary principle applies: ban ALL the imports from Israel, not only from the settlements.
Moreover: why is importing from an apartheid state allowed anyways?
Are we really at our last straw? I mean c'mon, there must be other ways to make women feel safe other than equipping them with a surveillance product from a toxic tech bro.

Quite cool to look at the pic upside down, too.

Good.
Nooo. Noooooooo. Nooooooooooooooo. I DID NOT WANT to know this exists. (Vomiting noises...)
I just want to thank everybody in this chat for hinting me towards Kentucky Ballistics. Didn't know this peak entertainement existed.
