    As capitalism implodes the Ls the fucking right wing shitheads take will only keep piling up. Whether its through a change to a new and egalitarian system or the treats pipe running dry and climate change reaping what was sowed. Particularly stark will the complete disintegration of isntrael and the best thing that can ever happen.

        I think Israel loves to act the mad dog and to a large part are a mad dog. But even they must realize that using nukes in such a way will make be a death sentence for them. It would be most damaging to the very globalist system that artificially props up this settler colony. Israel is an unnatural and contradictory phenomenon and it only ever had one way out. By addressing the contradictions and establishing a single state with equal rights. But they definitively closed that option after capping their decades long apartheid and slow genocide with the genocide of Gaza. Slowly but surely the colonizers will start to leave. They don’t even have the numbers to establish a colonial outpost surrounded by exponentially more original inhabitants.

    This is what communist-jihadists do, cherry-pick ideas from “welfare-capitalist” states, and rebrand them as “socialism”, and then once they get into power, implement failed soviet policies, the very policies we were ready to die for to protect our fellow children during the Cold War.

    People need to start strategizing about the long game.

    If national separation needs to happen in the future, it needs to occur in such a manner that both sides are geographically equalized (coastal access, natural resources, military assets, infrastructure).

    Maybe it’s time for Florida and Texas to have some private planning conversations about establishing a united economic bloc to begin laying some of the foundational groundwork.

    lol. If your brother draws the balkanizing line, then you get to pick which half. That way it’s the most fair.

    More seriously, though, maybe US culture doesn’t have much of a mechanism for reconciling differences. Historically, we let free-real-estate act as a pressure release valve. Now that we don’t have that, nobody has any real fucking clue what to do or how to talk to each other.

      I think we do have that. I think rather than real estate, it’s virtual space. The pressure valve is claiming online spaces and winning a virtual culture war. The new yeoman dream is that you become a content creator. All this AI slop is the “free” labor on which to build your dream. You can just generate slop for a multi-level marketing scam that recruits followers. You move up to become an influencer, with thousands below you. Each of them pay you tribute just to learn and be part of your success in the ops that it will rub off on them.

  • I know it’s just bourgeios propaganda that has gripped chuds/libs and their brains, but I still don’t the understand how someone can be a socialist (a progressive, nominally secular ideology) but also a theocrat extremist.

    I know the answer already, but it’s incredible how ignorant Westerners are on everything.

      The answer is rooted in Cold War Christianity, the narrative of the Cold War as a Crusade, and the weird liberal belief they don’t even consciously realise they believe, of communism as a Russian ethnoreligion and the USSR as a Scary Foreign Theocracy that Threatened Christendom. It’s just medieval religious bullshit turned on a political enemy. That’s all the Red Scare really was, and that’s still all it really is. It’s just Cold War Christianity, and that’s just Crusades era Great Holy War and Rival Theocracies mentality.

      Or, y’know, it’s just run of the mill American “everything I hate is COMMUNISM!” and “commies are a terrifying and very real threat that will destroy the nation if we give them one damn minute of debate time!”

    I just logged on to twitter for the first time in, i don’t know how long, and holy shit. It’s everywhere. Everyone is generating their own incoherent memes. All this AI shit is going nowhere and can bet that most of this are agents. Also every comment section is just /pol/. Even liberals are are switching between posting weepy eulogies for Cheney, movie clips from VICE, and saying that 9/11 is going to happen again. You would think NY just got nuked by Russia. What a horrible site.

    I hear they’re searching the residences of Chinese-Americans and if they find any anti-sissypee material they get brought to central park and executed.

    Like I always say. Demsocs are worthless at the best of times, but when they’re high profile, the Cold War era styled Soviet themed attack ads are so fucking good. So, y’know, makes these idiots not completely worthless.
