The flavour - ranch

Good

Glossing over the murderous bloodlust, heads of state famously lose support when a clearly identified enemy starts terror campaigns killing kids. These fuckers are just lost in the sauce

Americans, doing American things Americanly: Wao! You’re so Chinese for doing that

Surely just setting the money on fire is easier at this point? Probably lower emissions as well

Probably yes, but you can never be sure with Trump, he really is the wildcard candidate. The Isntraelis have been getting more and more unhinged, and all it takes is them mouthing off at him one time for the friendship to sour. Cause he’s a vain, petty shit and every interaction has to stroke his ego, while Bibi is in a tenuous position and cannot afford to be seen as weak to anyone rn

But then again maybe the Zionist blob can jangle shiny enough keys in front of Trump to smooth things over

BEEEG BEANIS

There’s people looking to drink raw H5N1 infected milk. I don’t think we even need to go to the Middle Ages for unmitigated dumbassery

Rimworld players I’ve watched annoy the shit out of me for this. They’ll mod the game to max out difficulty cause they’re hardcore, but then their strat tends to be the cheesiest most boring schlock imaginable.

Yeah the response to the 2020 crisis was unsurprising. That war had already been fought and lost (or won, if you’re a finance ghoul)

I feel like the subprime mortgage crisis broke something deeper. I can’t put my finger on it, but it seems like this is the point when political power completely capitulated to finance capitalism.

the same opinion of US supporting Israel for 75 years as “unnecessary, dangerous, and costly”.

Also don’t forget cruel and unconscionable

Back then peace could be negotiated. This time it will be dictated. Everything else is Western cope

Also, you do not in fact have to hand it to this cumrag

Critical support for struggling academics trying to grift some brainless tech bro billionaire out of his money

Oops my bad I mess read who’s the phd and who’s the sentient clipart

Yes I am talking about democracy. A subset of democratic governance is representative democracy, in which political functionaries and leaders are elected by way of popular* elections and given some* power to govern. Electoralism then is the practice of engaging with electoral politics using a variety of tactics - agitation, propaganda, canvassing, organised voting, voter suppression - in order to empower delegates who will in turn attempt to advance a political agenda. The “transfer of power from the few to the many” is one such agenda that may be pursued electorally. It is wrong to equate the goal with the political practice, they are different.

Now, within socialist tradition there exists a strain of politics, which centers electoralism as the primary mode of political struggle towards the empowerment of the working class, to the exclusion or suppression of more active forms of struggle. That is called reformism. I challenge every one of you arguing with me here to show me where I have advocated for reformism.

• I know these vary a lot, don’t @ me

You got a patreon or something?

Yeah my apologies. I’ll take a step back and cool off.

Eat my entire ass. I very explicitly rejected the idea that liberal electoralism is the only possible kind and gave a reason why we should not default to capitalist societies as the sole or default carriers of the democratic tradition.

While we’re on the subject. good faith approach: hey what do you mean by electoralism here?

Bad faith: your aggro bullshit

EDIT: I’m being aggro as well. My apologies, I’ll take a step back and cool off

Cuba’s pivot on LGBTQ rights is a direct result of electoral politics? Or do we take the CIA line that all communist societies are autocratic systems where a single man makes all decisions?
