I covered this song before and the bass pattern in thet breakdowns is only 2 different variations but the pattern between em is nonsense, I had to count, and I hate counting. ANYWAY it's their best tune here's lyrics:

The first world's got greedy, we're consuming it all

The third world's got hunger and military control

This unequal balance is a master plan

One gets rich from the other's land

They've got it all worked out - and we give our consent

They've got it all worked out for Central America

They've got it all worked out for Africa

And in our naivety we believe myths and overconsume

And give them our consent

Dying in the shadow of the USA

"Let them eat bullshit, make the land pay"

Make a fast deal with the local elite

Then substitute cash-crops where once grew wheat

Build a cycle of dependence on a starvation-diet

With food as a weapon, workers stay quiet

And multinational names have blood on their brands

From taking an interest in misused lands

Del Monte, Tate & Lyle, Ralston Purina

Coca-Cola, RTZ, and Unilever

All packaging lifestyles for the glamorous west

Expand the company, exploit the rest

We are not isolated by distance

But by greed and our racist history

Just a wall's width away

Still impossible to see across

This space in front on me

It's we who write this history

We who guard the money-tree

We support the companies

We stole the colonies

And when the system starts to crack

We'll have to ready to give it all back

See the space which lies between the rich and the poor

How the space increases as we keep on taking more

Keeping that space between us all

Is how the west can keep control...

With a mission and a chequebook promising aid

Posing for the camera the United Nations man came

He talked of control and the terrible drought

And the way that the west would bail them out

They he stopped smiling and talked conditions

Of mutual aid; of American wishes

Sending in aid with sewn-on strings

If they won't buy arms - then it's pulled back in

Feeding the world American style

Col Sanders has an empire behind his smile

Back up the investments with a military regime

Then cleverly say: "It's to keep the world free!"

But the multinational myths are beginning to fall

The poor don't want aid, they want control

And if we really want to see the Third World eat

We've got to see through the wraping on the high street

Past barriers of culture that dictate our lives

We're busy consuming as the other half dies

And the answer's not a question on charity -

Not whilst profit's still the top priority -

So let the glossy shop-fronts know what to expect

And you Bosses of Companies...

And the cycle of hungry children

Will keep on going round

Until we burn the multinationals to the ground

You accuse them of being a socialist because they support Biden. Then you run through all the thought terminating cliches:

  • Human nature
  • Imagine you have 2 cows
  • Totalitarianism/authoritarianism
  • Socialists are just utopian idealists who haven't received their first paycheck/don't know how the real world works
  • Explain the origin of money using the barter myth
  • Climate change related thought terminating cliches that could literally fill the character limit 3 times over
  • Call them a tankie
  • Say that tankies always claim real communism has never been tried because they keep moving the goalposts
  • Show them the reddit front page, /r/theleftcantmeme, etc whatever you can to make the brand of lib you're portraying look as uncool as possible

Then you show them your power level. Make them feel as frustrated as we feel when we speak with their cracker treatbrains. At the very least, from then on if you talk with that person ever again they'll have to think twice before they say some stupid thing you could easily dismiss as sounding like the character you cooked up.

Also, I guess this is just the standard-issue wrecker strategy that some trolls use against us here, ended up recreating that unintentionally trump-moist

Is this another instance of the mod log not telling the whole story? Anytime I see a recognized poster perm banned for anything other than being completely heinous I have to scratch my head a little. Making a bad post and then ban evading doesn't feel like it should warrant a "never come back" kind of response. This is just one example, I've seen it before with others too and have always gone "huh, really?" But maybe there was something they did that was so bad it was purged / doesn't show in the mod log.

Anyway RIP DayOfDoom we'll miss your weird ass posts. Unless you did something bad that the modlog doesn't show in which case I'll just delete this whole thread.

Several mind boggling lines here, my personal favorite is him trying to say he was using Epstein to get to some global health professionals because Epstein was well connected. My brother in Christ, you're Bill Gates, who's gonna say "No, sorry, I can't talk to Mr. Gates at the moment. Oh, Epstein gave his word? Clear my schedule!"

We are Leftypedia, a socialist and left-wing online encyclopedia.

If you're a leftist of any kind or considering becoming one, you've probably found truthful information about socialist ideologies and movements from websites like Wikipedia lacking at best.

These days, genuine leftist ideology can be hard to get into and learn about, between the toxic culture that dominates online leftist spaces and the many issues faced by even offline socialist organizations. Reading theory-dense works from Marx can be hard at first, and the easily-accessible guides targeted at beginners often don't even understand the work their talking about themselves!

So, what's the solution?

A dedicated socialist resource, like Leftypedia.

We aspire for new leftists to be given an environment where original discourse is encouraged on top of sourced and informative encyclopedic articles

Since our beginning in 2019, we have hundreds of articles, dozens of editors, and a growing community and base of content.

We're well on our way of reaching our goals, and welcome any leftist or incoming-leftist to view and editor our articles, carry out original discourse, and so on!

And they only mention him once as being a “poll rival” lol. And the other recent videos don’t mention him anywhere in the descriptions or titles. And the other article results have messed up time stamps because they’re from years ago, some as far as 2019
