It’s amazing how they see this as a cleansing away and not just a change of shift between swamp monsters

Charlie Kirk is literally the most common model. You ask for a “some white dude” and I give you a Charlie Kirk.

Now that you’ve won why don’t you just surrender to make it easier for us to acknowledge that you’ve won

Massive escalation isn’t a real option. The idea that the USA can field half a million men in Europe isn’t real.

They could escalate to nukes or they could occupy a buffer zone in western Ukraine and dare Russia to use nukes.

Going head to head against Russia in Ukraine without nukes isn’t realistic. It would simply mean more meat for the grinder.

The best possible outcome for china is to delay any conflict as long as possible, ideally until it’s such a completely forgone conclusion that the US just accepts it’s second-tier status.

President Xi xi-button give that man some patents

It’s happening in Spain. The hyper-right Madrid mayor has a basis of support and big money in the Venezuelan diaspora and she’s probably going to be president of Spain soon.

A point of inner debate for me is how capitalism generates those identity divides.

Like, the modern concept of race emerges from the dialectic of slavery and Christianity, so capitalism produces the identity. Ideology follows material.

A high income liberal who studied at a whatever university isn’t nearly as threatened by mass immigration as a low-skill factory worker and so can afford to not be racist.

But where does it get you? Latinos are being deported, not whites.

Yes the “perfect” answer here is to build worker solidarity between white and Latino workers but that seems like a refusal to own the issue rather than a solution.

Identity is generated by ideology but it’s an example of how ideology manifests as material reality.

There’s some thin line in leftist critiques of idpol.

Like, there’s the critique that the point of common intersection is still class. The “moment” of oppression is poverty. I agree with this.

But then you inevitably get the brain worms that therefore identity doesn’t matter, or “merely serves to divide the working class” which is obviously wrong, or only very slightly correct and less correct than it is wrong.

Yea of course the material basis of oppression is poverty and lack of power, the moment of oppression is class, but why are black trans women so heavily overrepresented at the very bottom of that hierarchy?

Was this the most important election of our lifetimes?

Is this really the last chance to stop fascism?

Will Trump make the Palestinian genocide 10x worse?

Is democracy itself over now?

Then where’s the rioting on the streets fucKKKing pussies

I think they’re right, tbh, at least in the vibes sense, but why aren’t they rioting?
