The GOP dumps everything they believe is undesirable into a bucket called "Socialism." And then when people say they are socialist, these undesirable traits carry on with them. We need to understand how these imbeciles acquire and maintain power.

Elon is an elite conman who didn't found or build Tesla and took NASA technology and funded it through lying to the federal government and investors. He is a fraud. That is what Trump-Vance wants to bring to America, like the many frauds Trump has pardoned.

Inflation was 2.7% in November 2024. Businesses pre-ordered/front-loaded when Trump won to get in front of Trump's tariffs, causing prices to spike before Trump took office. Inflation has also increased since Trump took office.

This is further evidence the pro-Palestinian protests, which I support, has rightwingers who seek to undermine Pro-Palestinian support. That doesn't mean there are not leftwing imbeciles there. Too many people unthinkingly flock to any message when they hear their keywords.

When the Left has concerns about a performance or speech, they show up and protest. When the Right has concerns, they pass on an anonymous message. The first is active participation in society. The second is destruction of society.

Anyone who has served in uniform knows one thing: hope is not a plan. Military decisions require clear objectives, a coherent strategy, and a defined path forward. The president rushed us into war with Iran with none of these. Now, the American people are paying the price.

This is a fact people seem to forget. Netanyahu and his cabinet openly allowed Hamas to continue getting funding because it undermined a two-state solution, state recognition for Palestine, and Hamas kept Palestinian civilians under control. This is their own statements, not speculation.

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

Free markets are an illusion. Either the state regulates them or large corporations and organized crime capture them. I am all for market mechanisms. But it is not a market mechanism to leave your car doors unlocked with a sign announcing they are unlocked to see if the market likes the model.

I am on a post-punk revival kick as of late. I don't know how I haven't heard The Killer's Pressure Machine until tonight. This is an amazing album embracing the Heartland-pop of Imploding the Mirage taking it in to a more reflective Americana-folkish sound focused on everyday American life.

Marx made many good critiques of the problems that Capitalism leads to. Piketty has built on these ideas. But to allow the Right to take Adam Smith's work and turn it into anti-people is a damn shame. FDR re-built Wall Street with Progressive and Socialist reforms. We shouldn't concede this ground.

Just followed you back. I hate the term neoliberalism. It should be called "Conservatives steal and pervert another Liberal accomplishment." Neoliberalism is Conservatives turning Adam Smith's anti-royal market control into corporatism, anti-FDR Progressivism, and anti-poor people.
