There are business owners among the Amish, but their communal mode of living makes their production practices resemble artisanship more than anything.

I would say they're not feudal since they don't practice serfdom or serve under a living monarch. They are in fact anabaptists who have their origins in the early protestant reformation. What made anabaptists unique when they first came about was their rather subversive (for the time) idea that baptizing infants was meaningless and one was only truly Christian if they consented to baptism once they were old enough to know what baptism meant. If anything, I would say the protestant reformation was part of the larger geopolitical shift in Europe that led from from feudalism to Capitalism, but I wouldn't characterize being Amish as inherently "feudal" or "capitalist." They are deeply religious and communal and live an agrarian and patriarchal lifestyle, which is aesthetically similar to feudalism in many ways, but is not feudal in the economic sense that Marx uses the term when describing the feudal mode of production.

Tom Scott died years ago

they're building the ultimate propaganda

Crackers who want to say cracker is a racial slur be like:

Yea… the majority of the people in the military are just working class folk who wanted to go to school but couldn’t afford it.

We've heard this one a million times before. It's not impressive. Everyone I know is working class and couldn't afford school. None of them signed up to drop bombs on brown people for Raytheon stonks. Troops in the imperial core can pipe down, reeducate themselves, apologize for their direct and active participation in imperialism/colonialism, and get in line behind all their working class comrades as followers rather than leaders of the various liberation movements. If they want to be at the front of anything it can be at the front lines of the militant wing of the working class movement, contributing their combat skills to defending rather than attacking the workers. If they weren't afraid to die for the burger reich then they shouldn't be afraid to die for the working class. Then the rest of the working class can forgive them if they feel like it. But what happens more often than not is they are constantly engaging in this pick me ass behavior where they need to remind everyone what a small and innocent bean they were when they were tricked into dropping white phosphorous on iraqis or whatever. they are constantly holding their support hostage from the working class, whining about how the working class is too mean and alienating to them for calling them out, and how the rest of the working class should shut up and parrot the idea that they were "tricked." The implication being that, if they don't get their way, they'll withhold support or join reactionaries instead. Good riddance!

with the sole and partial exception of the Second World War period, the propaganda offensive has never let up. In 1943 Life magazine devoted an entire issue in honor of the Soviet Union's accomplishments, going far beyond what was demanded by the need for wartime solidarity, going so far as to call Lenin "perhaps the greatest man of modern times". Two years later, however, with Harry Truman sitting in the White House, such fraternity had no chance of surviving. Truman, after all, was the man who, the day after the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union, said: "If we see that Germany is winning, we ought to help Russia, and if Russia is winning, we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don't want to see Hitler victorious in any circumstances."

Less workers doing the same amount of work = more profit. That's why they pat themselves on the back. They think they're geniuses for making the company more profitable, failing to realize that little trick has its limits as everyone gets worn down, loses sleep, performs worse, etc.
