Hunter Biden spitting truth

The Democratic Party leadership is corrupt and those individuals are more interested in maintaining their own proximity to wealth and power than “winning” or providing any material benefit or protection for their supposed constituents. They don’t lose because they’re incompetent or tone deaf, they lose because they want to.

*or rather, they lose because it’s preferable to the left gaining power and taxing the rich, ending the private co-opting of the commons, and expanding the welfare state.

Sound of silence

There is this fucking guy at my local park that sets up a full DJ system with giant speakers and “spins” electronic music, by himself, with no audience, loud as FUCK, at least one day every goddamn weekend for multiple hours. Everyone loathes him, but he doesn’t seem to care.

Israel Used White Phosphorus in Lebanon, Now No One Can Go Home

Reply in thread

Don’t a lot of abused children become abusers themselves? I’m not justifying it, but it seems to that it’s the result of inter generational trauma. Not just centuries of oppression and pogroms, not just the Nazi holocaust, but a lot of Israelis came directly from places in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe that were brutally oppressive.

China is counting its wins from the Iran war

The United States is currently fomenting color revolution in Indonesia with the intention of controlling the Straight on Malacca. They have turned the Marine Corps into an interdiction force for seizing oil tankers heading to China. They are also deliberately inflaming the conflict between Cambodia and Thailand. This is all part of the “Pivot to Asia” strategy, aimed at isolating China and choking off its resources with the ultimate goal of direct confrontation.

The Democratic Base Is Angry. Is the party paying attention?

The Democratic Party is a honey trap to capture and neutralize progressive policies and politicians, and to make sure the “Overton Window” of American politics never moves left. The leadership runs cover for Republicans because they have the same donors and the same agenda. How many times do they need to invent some mechanism to allow them to steal defeat out of the jaws of victory for it to form a clear composite picture of collaboration?
