Yeah my point is not so much about this guy but how discussion about this guy can be channeled. Not just this guy but the sentiment “shooting CEOs is good actually” is literally everywhere now, which is NEVER going to be something the right supports.

A highly upvoted comment on Ben Shapiro’s video condemning the shooting was “if the left supports this call me a leftist then”.

All we have to do to actually get people to hear us out is use the right language when they open the door, then fix the brainworms once they’re actually listening to us. The biggest barrier is getting them to listen in the first place.

I don’t think we need to create perfect communists.

What we need to create is a party large enough and organised enough to seize the moment. And a proletariat angry enough to do revolution.

ANY party that is large and well organised enough to… ORGANISE… Will defacto become the vessel of revolution because people will be forced into supporting whatever is realistic and available when it happens.

Hamas for example has all the weapons, largely because of supporting allies in Hezbollah and Iran. This used to be the PFLP but then the soviet union fell and that’s where their supplies were from so they’ve dropped off as the most realistic vessel for resistance in Palestine, people support the most realistic thing that can do resistance and that thing happens to be who has the most weapons.

The same scenario plays out in revolutions around the world. Those with the most organisational power (and the most ability to do violence) will leap to the forefront of a revolutionary situation. The people will want neither of the main parties, they will want whatever the most realistic next possible is. The job of communists is to become that and be ready for the opportunity, then seize it decisively when it comes and fend off opposition.

The members of the party need to be perfect communists, for obvious reasons, the party needs to be led well and have good ideology. The people that follow it do not, it’s beneficial but not important for purism among the proletariat itself.

What got accomplished here? United replaced their CEO the same day and their stock price went up. This’d be a viable take if there were any copycats; and honestly, will be a viable take if copycats DO jump out-- but they haven’t yet. Words are wind. Let’s see some motion.

This isn’t the one to lionize. Like, I’m not hunkering down in a foxhole next to some cracker I know was talm bout “DEI” and “woke” just last week, if anything, that’s the mfer I’m gonna use as a bullet catcher when I need to move out and draw fire.

He’s not throwing away his shot

The right has done more this year than the left has on decades. The first trump shooter. Arguably the second trump bush guy. And now the adjuster.

Pretty pathetic

The more complicated and granular it is, the more writing-on-mirrors tortured genius it must be, I assume. (Nobody is going to check)

idk i’m not really ready to call it, although i am ready to shitpost toward that general sentiment

ReadFanon@hexbear.net recently gave a good summary of the leninist position and i don’t disagree with it. but i’m also not convinced that a little black cat action on the side really hurts things.

Bah I was confused by the pinned tweet. Yeah he’s an Ivy League tech bro through and through.

he just has a confused ideology

There’s is an entire ideology for techbros that exists as an outgrowth of Deluze/Guattari, Lyotard and Mark Fisher which often mixes with the Kazinsky/Linkola/Hardin set at the “green” edges. It’s modern advocates are the Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land, and Hoppe. They literally name their magazines shit like Thermidor Magazine, their ideological views are based on similar history that Marxism is. In fact many of them have read Marx and agree with various observations historical, ideological, and sociological, but not the prescriptions.

It’s not “confused”, it simply has the following premises:

0. History does not trend toward progress
1. People are not are equal
2. The over class (often based on some kind of “philosopher king” or “titan of industry” vague qualification, but at their most honest are often explicitly racist) deserve the “fire of Prometheus” (technology, capital, power) because only they can wield it responsibly.
3. The under class do not deserve the “fire of Prometheus” because they cannot form a stable society (insert more racism/bullshit here)
4. By accelerating the contradictions they see in society, they can force a cataclysm that consolidates and binds the underclass and reinvigorates the over class.

It’s a messianic reskinning of capitalist boom and bust cycles. They aren’t confused. They know what they’re saying. They simply cannot close their eyes to the types of observations that they’ve heard from leftists that resonate with them, they simply decide on different causes and different rectifications.

You’re not gonna fight this on “leftist” ground simply because some of them also hate healthcare. They’ll agree with your arguments on healthcare and ignore you for the rest.

what funny is it isn’t anywhere on his goodreads list. maybe he picked it up in the last 6 mos and didn’t log it

i guess it’s possible he became laser focused obsessed in the last 6 mos after his own issues and his grandparents died. best case scenario really.

Seems like the most likely scenario. If he’s a standard brainwormed techbro he might not have cared or thought about health insurance until it fucked him over personally and decided to take things into his own hands

A good thing to remember is that an-caps believe that it is government regulations that mess up the market operating ‘correctly’, and that ‘Obama-care’ manipulated the ‘free market’ and forced healthcare insurance corporations onto the American public.

They can absolutely hold a grudge against ‘corporatists and statists’. The fact of the matter is that regardless of his ideology, even if he was an an-cap this doesn’t actually do anything. It’s good and funny because CEO’s are some of the most worthless people on the planet, but not exactly a project builder.

He apparently set up his youtube account to post a video of him reading it in 2 days. the account will probably get banned, but I wonder if he had other accounts set up, or on other streaming sites

Smart assassins change, flee to Russia, and Dremel their Glock into shards and throw it in the Hudson

Lmao

Just incredible. Pull something like this off and then do amateur-hour shit like keeping evidence like that on you and the gun allegedly. If you’re intent on being caught at least do something cool like filming yourself and posting your manifesto read by yourself online to immortalize yourself a bit. Just waiting for the cops with the all they need on you is silly.

I’d totally believe the whole cops planted it on them thing if it wasn’t for the amateur-hour acts of them getting his DNA and him taking off his mask to smile at the camera just because the hostel desk person asked him to with a rib about having a nice smile. DNA isn’t so easy to fake in a court case with defense lawyers and attention like this. Like if it wasn’t him and the cops were trying to just plant this stuff I’d expect they’d have killed him instead to wrap up the lose ends and never made the DNA claim or walk it back.

They have to be lying, they had nothing for days
