badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Lmao that rocks tf Doctor Who is cool?
Hey now I wouldn't go that far 
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
A bespoke handmade doohickey is diametrically opposed to a firearm mass produced by a capitalist-owned factory, checks out.
vampire capitalist
You just said vampire twice.
I’ve always like the idea that it’s faith that repels them. Like the Doctor Who clip already linked where a Soviet soldier is able to repel them with his badge and faith in the USSR.
Which doctor is this from? I don't know about this and must.
Seventh Doctor.
The serial it's in is called The Curse of Fenric.
Fixed yield government bonds.
Their image is rooted in the madness of speculation and parasitization.
"Behold, nightmare, for my capital is used productively and sustainably to build a water treatment plant rather than sacrificed on a flaming altar to appease meaningless paper growth!"
nah they love government bonds, its where they park all their money whenever there is a run to liquidity. 'euthanasia of the rentier' and all. it happened when the US raised interest rates, all the investors in third world countries fled to US Government securities.
Aristocrats' positions rested on divine mandate, so a religious scolding could be a weak spot for them. There is no equivalent with capitalists - unless you selectively quote bourgeois economists they respect, to undermine their confidence and make their stocks plummet or something like that? At least some of them are high on their own supply.
I would say the equivalent of warding them off with crucifixes and such, would be shows of solidarity, successful strikes, etc.
The equivalent of their being unable to cross moving water would be those places and things they haven't figured out how to recuperate or marketize.
The restoration of their mortality and soul is expropriation and reeducation
Stake/beheading/mouthful of wafers is the 
and 
Sunlight is the social revolution 
no see, peasant revolts and strikes actually work, we're looking for purely symbolic gestures that merely seem like they might hurt some moral foundation of the ruling class
just like using the divine as a means for criticizing the aristocracy was a fool's errand since it implicitly accepted their own framework as true, we must also find something equally ineffective that underpins the bourgeoisie's belief in having earned their place
the myth of productivity and hard work ethic seems like the obvious place to start. every billionaire has a rags to riches story and mythologizes how many sleepless nights they spent building their company up from nothing, working 80 hours weeks while eating ramen and never showering or whatever bullshit
a glass of lemonade?
building trains i think, at least for modern western capitalists
That would actually be a good bit in a post-revolution movie about a ragtag team of working class misfits taking on capitalists.
Act one - workers vs an American capitalist:
: "Look upon my works and despair, capitalist pig!" Shows them just a video of a train working.
: "NOOOOOOOOOO!1!1!" explodes
Act two - workers vs a more competent team of capitalists from idk, France and Japan:
: "Look upon my works and despair, capitalist pigs!" Shows them just a video of a train working.
: "violently laughing...no no, I'm sorry..I'm sorry. You thought that was going to defeat us? We're not Americans, even us capitalists like trains here!"
walls, bullets, cigarettes, blindoflds etc.
it's a line going down.
Building infrastructure
An NFT of a frowning monkey: it's a pure, ideal commodity that lacks form, labor input, and use value, and it's disapproving of them. It is their god, and it is symbolically unhappy with them.
