Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 26/11/2024The fact that a sitting President cannot be prosecuted is the GREATEST injustice in our system. In a Just system, NO ONE is above the law. A Man who cannot be prosecuted breaks the entire concept. It is unforgivable. We have a moral obligation to see justice for ALL Law breakers. 000

Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 12/10/2024Twitter was his Babel, a single common communication source that he intended to use to control the psyho-mass of the world. But Threads, Bluesky, and Mastadon all popped up. Nam-šhubs of Enki every one of them, the ONE becoming many. The tower of Babel all over again in the information age. 110
Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 12/10/2024BUT The political victory he is hoping for. The victory of the party he has been doing everything to be part of the inner circle of, no longer seems assured and the crimes he has committed to get here are starting to show. Thus his comment of "I'm fucked" 100
Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 12/10/2024At the same time, they were the core customer of his primary line of business and now he is seeing sharp declines in multiple income streams. He is pushing through, hoping that proximity to political power will allow him to regain his losses in the end 100
Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 12/10/2024But, people don't but it. Not everyone. So he doubles down, because he isn't the kind of guy to back off from anything. Which puts him at a Trump Rally in Butler PA. Thing is. By taking a side, he has now alienated half of his potential audience, the half he set out to convince in fact. 100
Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 12/10/2024Now we have Elon, ranting about the dangers of the "woke mind virus" and he buys the largest media platform on the Net. He does so to spread his own "Mind virus" filled with disinformation and Rightwing propaganda in an attempt to control the zeitgeist. 100
Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 12/10/2024So, Elon Musk is apparently a Neil Stephenson fan, he made staff read "Cryptonomicon" at PayPal. But he is the kind of fan who misses the point of the book! Snowcrash is all about mental viruses and the villian is a media tycoon billionaire who tries to infect the "Net" with a mind virus. 130

Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 13/06/2024The Manosphere is designed to make these young men into toxic red flags. This makes them vulnerable to right wing radicalization. That is the plan. 000
Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 13/06/2024The left is too toxic to each other and too nice to our enemies. Fuck purity politics And Fuck playing fair against the Right. They don't worry about lies, or harassment, or sending their mob after their enemies. We shouldn't hesitate against them. 000

Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 16/02/2024Right. But the difference between a Corpo Dem and a Progressive is decided in the primary/caucus process. The reason we keep having to choose between 2 evils is because we don't engage at the primary layer. Movements are built not spawned whole. 110
Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 15/02/2024It also depends on getting the RIGHT Democrats on the ballot. Joe Machen and Danica Roem are both Democrats, but they are not the same. Get involved in your local party. 110

Mike Karabinos @mkarabinoswrites.bsky.social · 15/02/2024They spent 50 years working toward the overturn of ROE. We cannot resolve it with 1 presidential election. Real change must build from the ground up. Local primary races. Reform the party then win with the party. 131
