BlackRock is an investment company, you are probably thinking of Blackwater (now ‘Academi’)

Great video! He made some really solid points. I hope some of the audience of Contrapoints sees it.
Prefiguration really is the answer in so many cases. I think he could have emphasised, though, that while the road to rebuilding a real revolutionary left is long, every step along the path of prefiguration can and does make a practical difference to people’s lives. The pressure that can be brought to bear on elected officials will also grow little by little.
Regarding disengaging from electoral politics, I think that radicals, since they’re people who are very interested in politics, have often become so highly engaged with electoral politics that they find it difficult to kick the habit. Also, I think there’s a perception that keeping up with the minutiae of bills and appointments is essential for being taken seriously when discussing politics.
If voters aren’t willing to withhold their vote over genocide, why would the Dems ever stop doing genocide?
Anark is great, I’m always recommending the channel/videos
They’d rather have Biden lose to him than waste one of their up and coming stars on a fool’s errand.
Sure, but they could put Harris in there. She’d probably result in a less disastrous loss in the senate.
Well, he’s achieved a lot, I mean, he beat medicare!
He has a bad night. Now again, I think it’s a legitimate question to say ‘Is this an episode or is this a condition?’

I’m no expert, but I’d imagine figuring out a (safe) way to use it with your water heater would be the low-hanging fruit, in terms of least-complexity for the amount of grid consumption you’d potentially save.
MOLOCH DEMANDS IT
Summary for those who haven’t watched:
Seems hard to argue with.
Why “thankfully”? Fuck Biden.
A right thing. And not a very substantial one. But don’t sell the UK short. The government might be despicable, but the massive marches in London by the people have been inspiring. The power of that crowd needs to be channelled into direct action.
I’m pretty sure that the United States was founded on the principle of self determination
Self determination for who? For rich, land-owning, white males.
The US was founded on the same genocidal settler-colonialism as Israel.
Maybe it won’t make an impact this election, but if people start voting for third parties regardless, the Democrats would be incentivised to do better and/or to introduce ranked-choice voting.
In any case, people need to stop waiting for elections and to start taking action now.
Boycott HP: https://bdsmovement.net/boycott-hp
HP-branded corporations play key roles in Israel’s oppression of Palestinians. They are complicit in Israel’s occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid regime. They provide computer hardware to the Israeli army and maintain data centers through their servers for the Israeli police. They provide the Itanium servers to operate the Aviv System, the computerized database of Israel’s Population and Immigration Authority. This forms the backbone of Israel’s racial segregation and apartheid.
Holy fuck
