No Investigation, No Right to Speak

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?

It won’ t do!

It won’t do!

You must investigate!

You must not talk nonsense!

They built ~80 cop cities in preparation for any potential civil discontent as they dismantle worker rights and wage indefensible wars of choice.

They’re called “communities,” hence the “c/”.

They’re going to burn this in all the way from the sub-microprocessor DRM/TPM to the browser, aren’t they?

We’ve had a name for them for the last 200 years: the capitalist class, or to be more precise, the haute bourgeoisie. The 1% of the 1%.

It’s literally my job.

Thank you, Tim Apple, for making 2026 the year of the Linux desktop (but not necessarily the Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mint desktop).

Looks like French fries are back on the menu, boys!

You could buy an anemic one now, and then upgrade the RAM & storage once prices come down.

Techbros are the result of the capitalist mode of production. You have to get rid of capitalism to get rid of techbros.
