Try to prevent that from happening by not engaging in talks about politics with them. It’s hard to convince your family, harder than convincing anyone else perhaps, try not to lose them by engaging in a futile activity.

They have a bigger change than you think. A recent hypothetical poll put them at 10% national support (without that party actually existing or them campaigning!), and it’s very likely that their spontaneous support is highly concentrated in urban areas and the red wall. That means they’r competitive in those seats. Now imagine them going in to an alliance with the Green party (=15%) and they’re already bigger than the LibDems. Now if they start campaigning, and they manage to increase the turnout by 1%, steal 1% of the LibDems, and 2% of Labour and Reform each (respectively disengaged poor/working class people with whom leftist socio-economic plans resonate, dissapointed middle class Labour-voters who went to the liberals, dissapointed leftists who vote Labour because it’s the best thing on the ballot, and dissapointed Labour voters who’re “giving Reform a chance”), and you’ve suddenly got yourself the second biggest party in the election.

Strange. I’d love to retire already lmao

On top of everything which is said already I just want to add: my personal experience with old people is that they become very stuborn. (Anyone trying to tell an older relative that it’s time to move to an assisted living situation can probably confirm that.) So I guess that once those those politicians cross a certain age-treshold, you can never, ever convince them anymore that they’re no longer the right person for the job, especially not if you’re trying to argue that their age is the problem.

Except for the hiding part. This is quite open. I’m assuming all the billionaires are goin to pour money in a republican campaign which highlights this during the general electon. But perhaps, if his ground game is good enough, it won’t matter. Inshallah.

He’s so shocked and horrified that someone has won an election on a socialdemocratic platform that he can’t put his fears in to words anymore. He was so used to Chuck Schumer being “the left” that this moment comes across to him like the Weather Underground or the Rote Armee Fraction has taken power in NYC.

For now. When you first build your local bastions, you can later start playing a national role. All large, national movements which we know from history are build on the local organising of unknown and unsung comrades.

It’s not just about removing that quantity, it’s about removing controll of those large oil deposits from a non-US-vassal state, which is willing to sell in other currencies then dollar and thus weakens the modern form of tribute which the world pays the US be needing dollars to buy oil and thus making the entire world compete to sell goods to the US in exchange for green paper which it can just print.

Thought it speaks for itself. Iran is hampered by reformists liberalism and their tendency to trust the West, so this might be an interesting internal development.

Obviously the editorial line is in favour of English millionaires, but the political line they believe in doesn’t imply that they are wrong on verifiable facts. (In other words: don’t trust their spin, but their reporting can still have value.)

I’m on hexbear, I’m also attacking myself then.

It’s a joke about the stress we’re dealing with when trying to make sense of a complicated issue we spend a lot of time on and the quickly oscillating emotional states we’ve all felt.

That’s nice to hear.

It’s obviously a non-serious remark, there’s no reason to feel attacked.

Do they still exist (in a meaningfull way)? I remember a veeeery long time ago they had a bunch of their cadres arrested under terrorism charges after doing fundraising for the PFLP.

I really love their pamphlet Some Points on the Mass Line, everyone should read it.

Better analysis than most of the doomers here.

What exactly is the Chinese plan for overthrowing imperialism? And can you elaborate on Iran refusing help from China?

Given that Symour Hersch’s predictions so far have come true, I tend to believe his sources. That means that we are now in the initial fases of regime change, which implies a total war.

Some even end up getting off without charges too because Elbit refuses to show up in court.

That’s strange. Why wouldn’t Elbit show up? on’t they want those protesters locked up? What do they have to lose by showing up?
