  • Dems need a candidate who’s already famous. They need one totally unchained, unhinged, who would say awful but barely not illegal things in public, so they’re plastered on every news outlet constantly.

    They need a liberal Trump.

    What chuds like about Trump is that he jokes around and appears to be passionate about what he talks about, and instead of backing down when challenged, will face it head on and double down. Someone who will spit in the face of his enemies without apologizing after. Get anyone who can riff and mock their enemies while standing firm on their positions.

    They need someone who’s a little iffy about vaccines, who will print money and send people fat checks with their face stamped on it, who will straight up collude with the powerful in public, so calling it out does nothing.

    I dont think they actually like any of this, just the way he does it inspires confidence. They care very little about the actual policy specifics.

    That’s all they really want is confidence. They aren’t confident in their place within a changing world and want someone who exudes that confidence so they can delegate their trust to someone who has it where they have none.

    I only said Hasan because he’s funny, comfortable being an asshole, confident, and isn’t a pushover.

    will write a blank check to Netanyahu to finish the genocide quickly with whatever means necessary.

    This is literally happening as we speak now that the election is over. How many Gazans will be left for Trump to genocide? How many months early will Israel complete their ethnic cleansing due to Trump? Is there a rate that can occur faster than the billions of dollars we are currently surprising?

    I voted for your stupid fucking genocide candidate so fuck off.

    If someone asks me to serve the US military, I am sabotaging whatever I can because I am a decent human being.

    If they didn’t frag their commanding officer or otherwise dodge the draft, they functioned as a servant of imperialism, and as such, should have gotten got by the Viet Minh. (yes, including your grandpa)


  • With regards to the Global South I expect the effects are going to be fairly immediate because China is the country that’s helping Global South develop and build out infrastructure

    This is actually why I say those effects will take a while for the global south. Construction projects usually take years before their utility is realized. In the meantime, there is no alternative to the dollar for the global south. They cannot oppose unilateral sanctions yet, nor can they organize against US imperialism.

    I’ve been pleasantly impressed by the rate of progression in recent years, but I’m not getting my hopes up for an early miracle. I’ll pray for the collapse of the dollar, but my bet is on 10-20 years before the US cannot wield their economic posture as a weapon against most of the world.





  • Show me a single dead Uighur. Show me any evidence at all.

    Lemme guess, the only evidence you’ll be able to provide is either:

    • Adrian Zenz’s “research” or media citing it.
    • that single picture of the Kashgar inmates watching a drug awareness presentation.
    • testimony from some person in Uighur World Congress (who are such a puppet of US dept of state that they cant even have solidarity with fellow Muslims in Palestine by recognizing their genocide) saying they have missing family members.

    Tell me:

    • what purpose does this genocide serve China?
    • how does China prevent any evidence at all from getting out? Is their great firewall more effective than Israel knocking out every cell tower and cutting all ISP lines? Why can we see that genocide despite Israel spending billions to stifle info getting out? Are Uighurs that much more afraid of retribution than the Palestinians who know they will be martyred for fighting back?
    • why did Muslim majority countries not unite to denounce this “genocide” like they did Gaza? Did Xi bribe them all?
    • where is the satellite footage showing the infrastructure needed to carry out an industrial scale genocide? Why isn’t the US coming forth with it if they have it?
    • do the Han Chinese hate Muslims? If so, why aren’t they also genociding the Hui Muslims who are much more divout?
    • why does Xinjiang have more mosques than all of Europe if they hate Muslims enough to kill off its least devout followers?
    • why UN inspectors came and found no evidence of genocide. How come the report has nothing more than “human rights abuses” (the most severe of which also occur daily in US prisons, who won’t allow inspections from international bodies.)

    You are just another dog of the US State Department. Israel thanks you for your whataboutism to diminish the severity of their very real, US funded genocide. Muslims everywhere appreciate your valient efforts to protect a Muslim group from an imaginary genocide.


  • You’d fight us but not Republicans because we destroy the notion that you’re the good guys. You both want to preserve the status quo, with libs preferring marginally less grotesque methods of enforcement, and superficially opposing the fucked up methods Republicans prefer to employ. Good cop vs. bad cop routine, and you hate us because we’re pointing out that the good cop wants us imprisoned too.

    Let’s be real, in actual prison, you’d be making aliances with the skinheads and guards 15 minutes in, then call on them to do your dirty work instead of doing any fighting yourself.

    Same dynamic you’re employing right now actually: “Fall in line or I’ll sic the Republicans on you!” while fantasizing about the left getting sent to the camps for daring to oppose your brand of status quo preservation…just like Republicans, but less honest about your intentions.

    Dipshits of both lib and fash varieties fail to recognize themselves as allies in defence of capitalism, imperialism, patriarchy, and white supremacy, yet somehow you always instinctively know who is more important to fight, the left.

    The SPD voted for the concentration camps the KPD died in. Same dynamic will play out here.

    You defended Biden for not closing the migrant camps, understanding that you would never spend a second inside one. We opposed them the entire time, not caring that they’d eventually be used for us.

    Smart fascists understand how useful your brand of performative opposition is to legitimizing the system that keeps the treats flowing, so even if they throw did your ass in prison to appease their base (they won’t), you’ll be let go. You’re too useful an idiot for keeping the real opposition (communists) from taking power.

    Biden has a mechanism written into law that allows the Department of Education to cancel student debt. He could relieve trillions in student debt in less time than it took to make that flowchart. He could do it right now. He won’t because he doesn’t want to.

    Instead, he chose to use a method that could be easily blocked by the courts. Why? So he could throw his hands up and still have blue maga claim he tried his damnest, but was thwarted by le ebil Republicans. Your boy is a fucking Republican. He’s the same fucking dude that made sure student debt could not be discharged during bankruptcy. He never wanted to do it, but he found a nice way to win over some white PMC Democrats strattled with student debt.

    Dems would rather lose and blame Republicans than implement progressive policy because their donors will replace them with people who won’t implement progressive policy. They will use whatever “parliamentarian said no” invocation so long as you keep buying it.
