Hands off NATO!

1000 more 's wouldn’t be enough to cleanse this land

"You can’t be putting your hope on China to save us, we have to save ourselves”

I think the greater emphasis is on the fact that China is not going to save us. If we are going to be saved, it will have to come from ourselves. Maybe its improbable we are going to be saved at all.

Saying we need an American Che is "great man of history"ing Che and the Cuban Revolution. In the past I said “we need an American Lenin” because I thought there isn’t any intellectual figure that can lead a party or revolution in the US. Im also probably wrong in stating that we “need an American Lenin”, and what we actually “need” is a theoretical understanding of how revolution can move forward in the US because that I don’t see. I don’t see a mass workers movement happening because the working class is just in disarray. It feels like we are in much different times than 1917 and even during the rise of fascism where there were semblances of class solidarity.

What shape would a revolution in the US take today?

I followed some of it (regrettably) and I think it’s pretty clear Ethan is acting in bad faith and has no intention of changing his mind. I think Hasan also knows this and was using the debate to try to reach to his audience, but from what I’ve watched I’m pretty sure any Ethan viewer is already set in their ways and will just project whatever they already believe in on the debate. They’re also dumb so they probably think Ethan’s gotchas owned Hasan, cause they don’t understand anything besides drama and normalize Islamophobia so they can’t even identify it.

The best thing Hasan could do was just ignore him, becuase he was crashing out on his own and was heading to irrelevancy. The debate put him back to relevancy while doing nothing for the causes Hasan is supposed to care about.

Anyways, I wish I could forget these people exist because internet drama is so pointless

Wait this isn’t the fake news comm

On rednote I saw a man from Palestine calling Hasan an idiot for debating a person who is clearly mentally unwell, all while he and his people are being killed. I am inclined to agree with him. I think this does barely anything to move the needle on Palestine

Condemning a country of 254 million people

Yea this guy is probably not racist at all, he’s just more educated than us

I like Traore’s fit

So did Starmer capitulate? Says they won’t lower the standards on agricultural imports but lol if you think Trump is going to increase the standards on American exports.

just seems deadset on destroying the UK. Neoliberalism is a suicidal ideology

Let’s a go

Half the existing workforce is made up of immigrants, and that’s a conservative estimate

Not to mention Trump is also enacting anti-immigrant policies making it even less attractive for immigrants to come in and be part of the workforce that the ruling class desperately needs. This is why I’ve always been saying Trump doesn’t understand capitalism/imperialism.

Whether intentional or not, we are heading for a re-proletarianization of the labour aristocracy

Maybe that was JDPON Don’s plan the entire time. He knew the CEO’s wouldn’t move manufacturing back to the US

It’s exactly what the capitalists want: an unskilled workforce that can do productive work with little to no training. Well the question is whether or not the work is actually “productive” in the economic sense, since most of the work I see genAI tools automating are bullshit jobs

Of course, it’s a job that requires no skills. How would one even be competitive in it? The genAI tool literally does all the work.

I forgot how much I loved learning, that I only was able to feel it again after almost a decade outside of school. I think the last time I remembered feeling the joys of learning was in 4th or 5th grade when there was a class on astronomy

I think the probable answer is it won’t shut down. As more people depend on it more money will get thrown at it. It would be like the equivalent of the internet shutting down. Probably will get bailed out by the government

I had a professor that tried this and didn’t work out. To be fair though, one of the issues I had was that it was the only class structured like this so it made it a pain when taking 5 other courses alongside this inverted course

, , , Chuck Schumer, Chuck Schumer’s imaginary constituents, and Adolf Hitler

I agree with him on Canada and France (I don’t really know enough about Australia). This Canadian election only postponed the conservatives winning the next one and doing shock-therapy style economics. France is looking to go the same way.

It’s unfortunate that it feels like actual leftist options are out of the mainstream in elections and people don’t even know it because they think people like Macron and Carney are leftists (or anti-fascists) which is just wrong. It does feel like the centrists are stuck in the old word order where you follow free market doctrine and hope that exploitation of the third world bails you out. That and they continue being dogs for the US, but they obviously don’t like Trump and yet this is not enough for them to peel away from the US (I guess cause they still think he is just a phase and they can work with the next democrat president?).

The centrists ability to not do anything but light neoliberalism makes fascism in these countries inevitable, especially when they get their power from being an alternative to the right and repress anything on the left.

No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted

Somehow this doesn’t reassure me. What were the “camps” they targeted? Looking for more info on twitter made me realize how many Indian fascists exist on it.
