Maybe don’t join the Reddit Brigade

You support genocide when it’s against third worlders then concern troll for Europeans.

European foremost is crazy, identity europa? It seems in Finland the Nazi apple doesn’t fall far from the Nazi tree. Fuck the nationalist international, from the ethnostates in the Baltics to Ukraine to Israel. You are sad American vassals whose only purpose is to be fed to the “eastern hordes.” Anyway, too long to read all that, free Palestine and death to the Zionist entity.

I hope your Ukrainian friend does well and doesn’t get kidnapped off the street in a press gang.

Russia will bomb US military industrial complex donation centers, Foreign Minister says

Nothing about the HRC having negative juice and being a total neoliberal ghoul

Imperialism is when a country does something in its interests, which tends to be most things?

It’s a free market. People can just not buy the product.

This isn’t even a meme it’s just repent for your sins

No, let’s contextualize this rather than doing an all sides bad gotcha that ends up feeding those with hegemony.

Ukraine is the most Reddit country. Folks, some people are saying it’s the Reddit country.

You seem to accept a hermeneutics of innocence towards the US and its ideology, fundamentally. When the constitution talks about the right to bear arms, in a militia, in the context of slave uprisings and settler-empire conflict, it’s actually a far sighted stroke of genius. The founding fathers knew 250 years later suburban dads would need a gun to protect their McMansion from inner city thugs. No, they weren’t coming up with extra-historical wisdom, they, like the many founding philosophers and practitioners of liberalism, were cruel slavers, atrocious exterminators, and elitists who thought they knew best. History doesn’t go away because you close your eyes and ignore it. The constitution or supposed founding values not being applied on so many occasions from lynchings to foreign occupations isn’t because “America is an ongoing project, a living document,” it’s because countries are what they do and who they represent. As opposed to pieces of paper. I have no sympathy for these viewpoints because you immediately drop the hermeneutics of suspicion on any critics of the American nightmare. If in Cuba the churches are empty, religion is being suppressed. If they’re full, people are rejecting their atheistic ideology. Funny how that turns out. American institutionalists keep crying.

How can I get you to understand this is all within the framework of American capitalism and American “””democracy?””” There will still be elections in 4 years, and liberals will eat it up and maybe even fail to get a failson dipshit like Newsome elected. By that point the requisite decisions have already been made, without you.

Just say asiatic hordes 😭

If you use out of scientific context psychological terms as a substitute for meaningful political analysis, it’s because you’ve got nothing else. I highly recommend this essay on “psychopolitics”

You are unironically a conspiracy theorist because that’s the only thing that can do the mental gymnastics of making collapsing western empire make sense. Go enjoy some treats, hog.

A lot of labor in slaughterhouses or for that matter construction, landscaping, etc. is done by undocumented immigrants. If they try to unionize the owners and coyotes can just turn them in to ICE. The reason republicans are so obsessed with the border is because controlling these unofficial immigrants/migrant workers is a form of labor discipline that keeps prices of otherwise untenable products like a lot of meat or seasonal fruit low. Dems in turn want an “open border,” because the neoliberal agenda means not letting borders get in the way of cheaper labor.

In the end, there’s homeostasis. Made possible by extreme violence by human traffickers, ranchers, border patrol, and plant owners. Enough get in to keep costs low, but not enough to fight for bargaining power. If we look at the characters in The Jungle, they came from immigrant groups being basically let into the country no problem. They could participate in strikes because they were “legal,” and eventually when the postwar consensus saw the American labor movement fall into a pit of consumerism, become white people rather than Poles, Jews, Slavs, Italians, etc. That’s not going to happen again.

Pivot to Asia is still happening in part despite ongoing MENA events wrt Saudi Israel and Iran. Turn NK and Russia against China, disrupt Belt and Road/BRICS, Sahel, sort of the Cold War strategy done post Sino Soviet split. But I’m not sure they can get the split part here. It just looks embarrassing and weak for Trump, humoring his enemies while they have no interest in breaking ranks.

Like honestly what are you supposed to do? Those I know are either going total striver and molding themselves to the every whim of a fake ass financialized economy, or giving up. Schemes and scams, etc. College degrees are less of an education than a very expensive job certification telling your HR email job “I am not stupid,” sold to you by a giant real estate company that also hires professors.

It’s not even a question of upward mobility but where you’re supposed to find employment that pays non starvation wages and won’t be squeezed out once you learn it. Niche trades maybe? But what’s the opportunity for advancement there.

No, you’re obsessed with Trump because you can’t square him. Aren’t the systems of civility and institutionalism supposed to stop that kind of guy? Total freak out, he’s mango Mussolini, he’s a Cheeto in the dang White House!!! In reality, he’s there because the business interests in this country like his meaningless word drivel spew which seems to make line go up for some reason.
