In Canada, hockey is statecraft: a ritual that manufactures national identity. Tonight, for the first time in generations, that machinery fully leaves the public broadcaster, and with that, the public interest.

The idea that socialism is a test of morals and personal virtue, rather than a product of the class struggle produced by the material conditions that people endure, serves only those invested in preventing that struggle from ever becoming a material force. Hope this helps.

The whole Mount Rushmore speech: deny class, call truth “communism,” turn migrants, the poor, the unhoused, and historians into enemies, then use that fear to justify permanent rule. On stolen land, no less.

Trump tries to summon a national body, but the litany is just a consumer catalog: skyscrapers, light bulbs, airplanes, assembly lines, TVs, microchips, the internet, GPS, smartphones, air conditioning. Even his fascism is privatized. Even his “people” is just a brand.

Trump stood at Mount Rushmore, a monument blasted into the sacred Black Hills on land taken from the Lakota in violation of treaty, and called it a “Marxist lie” to say America was built on stolen land. The stone itself is the rebuttal, as he was standing on it.
030
alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
Trump opened his July 4th speech by saying America has no class, only individuals. Then anyone who points at the class structure becomes the “communist menace.” He is not refuting class analysis. He is criminalizing it.
031
alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
Trump calls communism a threat greater than World War II, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11, but when he finally defines it, the mask drops. The “communist” is the immigrant, the criminalized, and the poor. The word is just an alarm bell wired to the property line.

Trump said: “You do not have to be born here, but you do have to love what we have built.” That's what it is: belonging as loyalty oath. Love America or you are not American. And who fails the test? The immigrant, the newcomer, the person with the wrong ideas.

The real terror is not a hidden hand. It is that no hidden hand is needed. They stand under golden arches, invoke a golden age, wrap conquest in sacred lineage, and make empire look beautiful on a fully lit stage. Then they ask the country to sing along. That is the ritual.

alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
Trump basically defined America in one breath: not class, not clan, not tribe, just the sovereign individual alone, equal under law and God. The American is the person with no collective. The people with no “we.” And 250 years later, they still present that isolation as freedom.

Space Force is framed as “defense” and “catching up,” but it is a $40B branch built around directed-energy weapons, lasers, and high-powered microwaves with almost no public oversight. The empire always calls escalation a response.

Trump boasted that America “sank the entire Iranian Navy,” but what he described was reportedly one defenseless ship, the Dena, sailing home unarmed from a goodwill naval exercise the U.S. Navy itself attended.

Trump said the Korean War can be remembered as a battle against communism, but its human cost, millions dead, cities destroyed, and a war that never officially ended, tells a far more consequential story.

“Under God” was never part of the founding. It was added in 1954 at the height of the Red Scare to distinguish the United States from “godless communism,” transforming the Pledge into a Cold War political weapon.

At Mount Rushmore he called stolen land a Marxist lie, then defined the communist menace as immigrants and people who won’t work.
