and my answer will be something like “well we must blamed them for going to college and studying the wrong subject”

With the continued improvement of 3-D printers (if climate change doesn’t wipe us out or seriously thwart technological advancement) the future will see a rise of synthetic meats and killing animals/factory farming in cruel conditions will be a thing of the past.

Yeah, this vaccine stuff has gotten a bit out of control. At least get some long term studies done and approve the drug before you force people to carry vaccine cards… I have a relative who literally can’t take the vaccine, has to live urban because they can’t drive (due to their medical conditions) and now can’t go inside many places because they can’t get vaccinated :0 kinda icky

Debatably better if the customer were black.

Fake meat had been talked about for ages as being soon but never seems to come.

now the “should Biden send the troops back in” is being presented by the various bourgeois mouth pieces as open question for the Biden regime

I think when you understand the media to basically be a mouthpiece of the bourgeois class (rather than a bunch of independent organizations expressing unique opinions) it is clear when you read a bunch of similar/identical headlines like that across 10 different media outlets you see the writing on the wall (i.e. consent is being manufactured)

I did hardcore roll my eyes at this quote from your link:

Umm...no they aren't. I can think of hundreds of things more scary to me right now than Al-Shabaab. Even if you substitute "rich people and large corporations" for "the US", it still isn't true.
