it’s kind of wild to remember that the west is collapsing today in no insignificant part because twelve years ago a female video games journalist had the audacity to say that maybe spectacularly perky tits weren’t the most important character traits of Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft

“the president is a fascist dismantling democracy” “ok, so do we riot to depose him up to and including by violent means?” “WHAT? NO! we write angry op-eds and wait two years to vote in the obviously rigged elections to show him we’re really upset (but politely so) about the fascism!”

just last week, Hillary Clinton was on a stage supposedly dunking on Trump by gloating about how both Obama and Biden had deported more people than Trump did during his first term and they didn’t even have to kill any white middle class Americans for it they can shove their supposed pro-immigration

They’d have to plant a tree on every square inch of the barren Gaza Strip and wait a thousand long years to make up for just their relative share in the emissions of leveling it in the first place, so if you don’t mind, I think they should sit this one out.

The entire political establishment is out of line with how most voters feel, and even more so with how most subjects of its empire feel. Trump simply embodies what they all are, and they (correctly) classify him a fascist only because he turns inwards their hitherto externalized brutality.

nothing will convert you to a revolutionary accelerationist faster than an old, white self-proclaimed leftist bloke who couldn’t read a book to save his life telling you, a committed intersectional feminist, that you, white man, must defer to JK Rowling’s inherent authority on defining feminism

blocked by a western “pragmatic progressive” for saying vehemently objecting to a Jewish ethnostate is, in fact, neither speaking over Jewish voices or diminishing their plight, and that it infantilizes Jewish people to imply we should support Jewish fascism because they supposedly don’t know better

My very simple litmus test is if you’ll sacrifice one marginalized group for another, you’re the enemy one step removed. If you’ll trade Palestinian lives for women’s rights, your feminism and mine is not the same and you’re a fascist with a savior complex.

It is indeed a backslide, an event of political atavism. A centennial catastrophic event, which is basically an echo of one of the worst and most corrupt periods in the history of the US

this is, to date, the single dumbest, most predictable, boringest backslide into Third Way syncretic fascism human history has ever witnessed. a senile diaper Mussolini ruling the feckless idiocracy, while paramilitaries beat the formless masses into submission in front of a dilapidated IHOP.

All else aside, “normalizing war” is such a ridiculous statement. There is barely anything more normalized in modern society than the notion of young people, at random, being sent off with murder machines to have a death match with other young people for a bunch of rich folks’ egos and fortunes.

Thanks to the internet it’s de facto human monoculture. I assure you, there’s some dude in Bumfuck, Hungaria, speaks nary a lick of English, who calls himself a groyper, says “kek” and shares Pepe the Frog memes. It is surreally pervasive. So yes, the voters got 4chan-pilled ages ago. Won’t care.

Narrator: ‘the voters, indeed, did not give a single shit’ Watching Trump smash the Overton window in perfect parallel to the rise of the far right in Europe, & the two movements’ near identical messaging proved it. An imperial contagion, the only racist culture left in the west is ‘4chan boomer’.

I did not claim that. I asked a question. From that you interpreted liberally. The thing about interpretations is they’re notoriously subjective absent the author. That’s why people argue about the Bible 2,000 years later. Except this time the author — me — is here and is telling you you’re wrong.

John Kiriakou *literally* was not allowed to report the CIA’s torture program at Guantanamo Bay to the public, which is the comparison you’re drawing. That’s why, as I said, he went to prison for it. Because the government did not allow him to share it. “It” being the brutality of said government.

Of all of liberalism’s innumerable crimes, it may well be its universalization of political illiteracy which dooms us all. There’s only one true political divide left: Neoclassical Econ or Neokeynesian Econ. Everything else is derivative down-stream fluff from those or banal culture war idpol.

As much as I detest the Iranian regime and its repression of the population, I worry these kinds of bombastic action movie narratives minimize part and parcel western brutality on the world stage and romanticizes a severely ahistorical notion of our moral purity.

Does it really? I certainly do not want to defend the Iranian government, but does it really take brutality to “a whole new level”? Does that exist? What comes after attaching a naked, wet and freezing person’s exposed genitalia to an electrical generator with alligator clips for shits and giggles?

This it what is so immoral about representative democracy, particularly, systems with "first past the post" rules. It hardens democracy, often into binary choices, forcing voters to choose the lesser evil, rather than making the personal choice they deem to be good. 1/2

Arguing with blue no matter who democrats feels a lot like arguing with NAFO fellas or vibes-based anti-imperialists. They hold the vaguely correct moral position, but are the most insufferable, hateful people, unable to honestly acknowledge ANY fault on the side they’ve deemed ontologically good.

also this represents a false dichotomy, because — while people like to pretend otherwise — abstention is not meaningless. it speaks a very clear language of protest. it delegitimizes the entire process. which in turn mobilizes resistance to the status quo. nobody is owed your vote. they earn it.

I am very specifically telling you that the white working class fled to Trump, and that numerically they matter in a country where elections are decided by a small margin of swing votes, and they did so because absent an advocate targeting the real oppressor, they were lured by racist fascism.

Not only does she have a higher standard of living than children in custody (which is obviously obscene, not because her standard of living should be lower but because the children’s should be much higher), she also has a higher standard of living than working poor families.

The problem is there’s currently no viable alternative to free speech absolutism. You cannot aggressively police “misinformation” without creating an environment which nurtures the propaganda you happen to like. Do I trust the west and western companies to define the limits of truth? Fuck no.
