  Once more let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt – it may even wear a dress shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.

Great vaguepost. No notes. 🙄

I don’t feel particularly shameful because I don’t self-identify with the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. It’s not my state, it’s theirs.

Amazing. He’s just mashing on the tariff keyboard.

That doesn’t even make sense. If it’s useless thinking, then why do anything about it?

That’s a dark joke.
Dark as soot.

The Japanese economy is in a long decline, and Japan is a US vassal, so I wouldn’t worry about the yen becoming the world’s reserve currency.

I can’t help but repeat myself again from seven months ago.

If Harris wins, the Democratic base will continue to sleep. You can do anything when the Dems are in the WH. It was under Trump that protesters shut down airport terminals, but under Biden the base sleeps regarding immigration & asylum. That’s what Glenn Greenwald and I learned from the GWB to Obama transition: the Dems sleep when their team is in office. Greenwald “changed” from hero to villain without changing the least bit; the only difference was who was in office. Unlike the Dem-aligned media, he didn’t go to sleep.

You can war as much as you want. You can run a fucking star chamber. You can stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.

Anyway, I’m on my way to the Hands Off! protest in a bit.

1. This is not a “worse” genocide. It’s the same genocide that Biden & Harris aided & abetted, and given that there was “no daylight” between them, it would have continued uninterrupted & unimpeded.
2. The DNC subverted the primary process and installed a pro-genocide, incumbency-stained loser candidate by fiat, who ran such a garbage campaign that she lost to a reality TV clown. This was a self-inflicted loss due to a panoply of unforced errors.
3. 📺 Why the Democratic Party CANNOT and WILL NOT be Reformed Democrats would rather lose to a Republican, to a conservative, to a fascist, to Trump, than address the material conditions of the American people.

“Unbiased” does not mean “statistical mean”.

If 1 + 1 = 2, then it equals two irrespective of anyone’s opinion on the matter.

But zeroth of all, there is no such thing as an unbiased take, because no one is without bias.
