Good choice. Vance has no charisma to lead the right and Trump will be dead in 5 years. The billionaire Nazi is a good choice.

Lookout! Here comes the Epstein files!

Honestly, I’d just focus this year on (1) the areas we agree; Israel and Epstein are really areas most of MAGA is actually aligned with the left on. And (2) using it as an opportunity to explain what blowback is. The shooting in DC recently hasn’t been given enough media time to form the narrative of an “immigrant” problem. The shooter was a direct result of American Imperialism, child soldier recruiting by our government, and resulted in an all too familiar PTSD sourced act of violence.

Seriously, the most “American” thing that can be taken from this is how we can fuck up a young kid by making them do violence for the empire and then abandon them when they are no longer useful.

The irony is that that this guy went postal because of how much his life experience was similar to that of the average Army Joe in the military. And the right wing media is trying to portray it as some immigrant problem. The CIA connection is just too obvious, imo, for even MAGA to not see that this is not true. They just need someone to explain blowback to them. That’s your job.

We get universal healthcare because Mamdani convinces Trump that it will destroy Obama’s legacy and he can call it TrumpCare forever. A lasting legacy that Trump is craving as his approval tanks. Honestly, there is a nonzero chance this could happen.

Signifying chains may appear contradictory, but they are not. There is no commitment to any previous meaning, it can simply be resignified.

You clearly don’t understand what I’m even talking about in the context you quoted. If you did you’d realize you’re just repeating what I said. You aren’t even disagreeing with me. I was literally explaining how they appear as contradictions to the current narrative of the right wing at the moment. Which results in a shift of the narrative to align it closer to their true ideology (something they usually hide the totality of). I wasn’t saying it was a contradiction to right wing ideology at it’s core.

I think you’re so ready to disagree with me you didn’t even understand what I wrote. It’s clear you’re not actually looking to have a conversation. You decided you disagree with me when you read the words “historical materialism” and didn’t even bother trying to understand what was written. Do better.

Also, you sound like a 12 year old debate lord listing off logical fallacies they learned last week without actually doing any of the work logically to conclude them. You might think it sounds smart. But it really just makes you sound childish. Especially when you didn’t actually do any logical analysis to conclude to them in the first place. Logical fallacies aren’t a shopping list mate. You wrote so much and said so little.

I don’t. But Candice is too enjoyable to watch as a guilty pleasure of mine.

I feel like you’ll make good use of this link. Check the sound for optimal results.

Fuck! You had to remind me! UGH!

Fed posting ironically? Like, if you actually did this, go get help mate. If there was a video of Hitler blowing his brains out I’d watch that a total of one time and think “welp, glad he’s dead” and move on. If you’re watching a loop of a dude dying you might just have a problem.

Any action you take in organization is a positive. I ask any of my “no kings” friends to go out and find a protest or day to contribute to a DSA or PSL event (among others but those are the ones nationwide) before the next “no kings” day. If 10% the “no kings day liberals” went out and did something between now and then we’d have a massive increase in support each day. And that is a win for me. Don’t try to change the world. Change your neighborhood and find solidarity and purpose in getting others to do the same.

You don’t have to feel powerful to not feel powerless. Anyone that feels powerless hasn’t been organizing.

History is not made by the actions of “great men”. It is made by those that plant seeds for trees that they will never enjoy the shade of. Do what you are capable of doing in your community and your local organizations. Do not be disheartened by the decades in which “nothing happens” because the “weeks in which decades happen” are built upon those times.

I swear. If all the leftist online stopped sitting at home being “informed” of the world politics and just got to the weekend thinking “Damn, i need to listen to <favorite political commentator>, i was so busy organizing with <local org> that I didn’t have time”. We’d all be in a better place. And the political commentator might even start mentioning your community.

Hey, don’t do that. We need to keep pushing the meme of lefist infighting harder and harder so the CIA ops get their paycheck. Are you not considering them? Are they not exploited labor of the capitalist class too? PLEASE RECONSIDER!

Liberals (vote blue not matter who dems) are the actual conservatives. The conservatives (republican party of today and its followers) are better labeled as reactionaries. Liberals are sitting on a further right shifting world and looking at it through horseshoe theory.

I’m using a definition of “conservative” to mean maintain the status quo. Which is literal in its definition and not really based in material actions of those that say they are “conservative”. Tongue in cheek a bit i guess,

Some of us like guns. SRA members are very friendly and whether you want a place to learn the basics without MAGA hats around or you actually end up enjoying improving your skill we are here for you. Enjoying firearms is pretty fucking nerdy. The conservative firearms dudes are more interested in getting drunk and complaining about their wives while holding something that makes them feel safe. At least initially. Some of them end up enjoying it for the same reasons leftist do. Because they’re nerds. You listen to two people talk about firearms for 5 minutes and anime nerds will sound normal by comparison. I think leftist nerds could really bring some conservative gun nerds left if there were more of us.

TDLR: there are those that are firearms nerds and there are those that like owning a gun because they are afraid of going outside. Both exist on the left and right. But the former is almost exclusively right wing.

What conversation are you hoping to have here? Because my comment was about Israel and its relationship to American imperialism fueling antisemitism. I really can’t be bothered to engage with someone who’s entire argument revolves around an appeal to “human nature”. My friend, we have fucking planes and skyscrapers and we’re communicating instantly from anywhere in the planet either of us might be right now. Part of being human is literally about overcoming nature. If you ever hear yourself saying “this is wrong because its against human nature to <blank>” you should probably get a better foundation for your argument. Because an appeal to some vague idea of “human nature” is about as good as appealing to some deity.

Wanna talk about my criticism of American Imperialism and Israel? Because that’s what you replied to.

Your comment has almost nothing to do with what was the substance of my comment so I’m not gonna take the bait. I’m not here to debate with a doomer about dialectical materialism. Something you’re very clearly not capable of understanding. Because you described it as some sort of mass pshycosis for some reason. Which just tells me you don’t actually know what you’re talking about.

If you’d like to be more specific about what PART of my comment’s analysis is wrong. Or somehow leading to “dictatorships”? But you basically saw the words “dialectical materialism” and then regurgitated shit completely unrelated to the substance of my comment.

Yep. I agree. But the first of which that you listed is the one with the strongest material interests fueling it. As a leftist I see the world based first and foremost by these material incentives that influence which ideologies are used to justify them.

The reason that the christian end times bull shitters are allowed to thrive is because their ideas align with the imperialist interest. If, they believed the exact same thing, but it was in conflict with the imperialist interests in it’s material goals, it would never be as big as it is in the conservative base. It’s allowed to thrive and grow because it aligns.

Which is why we’ll see that ideology morph and justify Jewish hatred, while at the same time, still support Israel as an ethnostate.

If you actually listen to him for awhile you can summarize it as:

We all hate minorities. We can hate blacks, gays, trans, but for some reason, when I hate Jews, that’s not allowed?

He is hitting a point of contradiction within modern American conservative thought as well as that of Zionism. But contradictions are fundamental to right wing thought and should be seen as more of a “shift” when their talking heads and leaders admit to them.

It is why right wing politics most logical conclusion is Nazism. Because it completely lacks the tools of dialectic and historical materialism that leftist use to analyze the world. To understand the Imperialism of America IS Israel. They are one in the same.

The right winger will believe the lie that Israel is important to the US because it is “a safe place for Jews”. When this doesn’t impact them personally they don’t really care (as we’ve seen for decades). But, as the material conditions of the working class decline they are less supportive of this. They will quickly revoked “the white card” for Jews in America. They see immigrants being rounded up, put in camps, but their life is still not improving. Their job still sucks and groceries are more expensive than ever. They ask - “What undeserving minority is still hurting me?” At least this is the narrative being fed to them by people like Nick.

The logical conclusion for them, because they lack class consciousness, is MORE rascism and xenophobia. What makes “the Jews” so special? Why is our money going to a genocide?

It’s at this point they even leverage leftist talking points in support of Gaza. But never never direct it towards the American Empire and the interest of the capitalist class.

Israel is used as a door to target Jews. And it’s perfect for them because all this time the other conservative party (the Democratic party) has been supporting Israel without hesitation. So, it’s simple to label them as “the left” whenever convenient to do so. It’s a key role that the Democratic party plays in the right wing shift of American politics. To be the contradiction that masks the contradictions of the far right.

The only true conflict within the American right is whether or not hating Jews will negatively impact the settler colonialist project that is important to maintain American imperialist interest in West Asia. And it’s not really a conflict but more a hesitation of capital to make that shift. The far right ideology that supports them wants it. But the profit incentives and Imperialism will always come first.

So, really, there is no conflict. There is only a shift and the illusion of a conflict. We were always heading here. Will some talking heads and politicians miss this boat? Ben Shapiro comes to mind. Yes. Yes they will. But was this always where things were headed? Yes.

The US will always continue to maintain it’s support of Israel. Because Israel and America are one in the same. Not because America is “controlled by Jews” but because Israel is just an extension of US imperialism.

The only dialectical change that is occuring is the push now by the far right to stop pretending. To stop pretending that the right wing is anything but the American Nazi party.

Does Nick really want support for Israel to stop? Probably he does. He is not a leftist. He doesn’t actually understand material interest of American empire or look at things through that lense.

Will the interest of capital allow anti Jewish hatred into the ruling class in order to maintain the scapegoat for fascism? Absolutely. But that doesn’t mean they will stop supporting capitalist interest in Israel. It just means that hatred of Jews will be allowed along with all other minorities.

America will literally fly the Swastika over the white house and still support Israel. A fascist ethnostate is exactly what Nazis want for white people at home. They would deport Jewish Americans to Israel if they can. That conversation is coming.

It is has been said that Antisemitism is the dumb man’s class conflict. And that is exactly what is happening now. The American working class lacks any class consciousness or organization and is ripe for further exploitation built on antisemitic rhetoric.

The Nazi problem for them is that there aren’t enough people in the party willing to admit they are Nazis.

Did she clarify what the problem was? Maybe she thinks the problem is that there aren’t enough Nazis.
