If geopolitics is actually their interest, I share John Mearscheimer’s lecture on Ukraine with them. It both helps that he isn’t a communist and that his analysis and breakdown is accurate and accessible.

I used to have a few Dutch friends. It was jarring how cavalier they were about Black Pete and how in denial they were about the racism associated with the tradition. A very similar mindset to white Americans who think it’s okay to dress up like Pocohantas as a costume.

Especially as a Chinese person. Chinese-Americans and other East Asian demographics are gonna have a seriously bad time this decade in America. They are in a similar social position as Jews were when the Nazis were gearing up for war against the USSR.

Not that every other marginalized group isn’t also in peril in the US. Of course they are. But I don’t think anyone is prepared for what the bipartisan US ruling class consensus against China will lead to.

Honestly, imo they lost the election before Gaza even entered the mainstream conversation. The Dems the past 4 years have exhibited nothing but betrayal after betrayal of their constituency. From record deportations of immigrants, to crushing labor strikes, to escalating the trade war with China, to deceiving the public about COVID relief, to bungled natural disaster responses, to lying about Biden’s obvious cognitive decline, etc.

Gaza was just the nail in the coffin.

So goddamn maddening how these people don’t pay attention to anything except for vibes. Liberals are gonna continue to get us all killed.

Yup. Welcome aboard comrade. Try not to let it break your sanity.

Absolutely frightening. This technology will eventually trickle both abroad and even be encouraged to use by US police forces.

Not only that, but artists absolutely embue elements from their subconscious into their work. When we talk about the author’s intention, what we’re really talking about is their ego’s contribution to their work. They can give their works meaning that they didn’t consciously intend or even that they disagree with.

Yep. It is almost impossible to exist peacefully here unless you make at least twice as much as the average working person and happen to be born white.

How do you get liberals to read?

Maybe this is a semantic thing, but communist parties actually don’t force revolutions. A revolutionary situation from capitalist crisis must occur for that to happen. This is clarified by Lenin. Trying to force a revolution before a truly revolutionary situation is an error ultra-left parties and orgs do and it ends up alienating them from the masses.

(Good) communist parties aren’t passive though; they build revolutionary consciousness, provide alternative systems for addressing people’s needs, and form networks with other organizations and unions and ultimately win over as much as the working masses and their allies that they can, so that when a revolutionary situation occurs the people have a party to turn towards. Communists don’t wait; they organize and prepare.

The most recent estimate outside of the US state department is well over 300k. That is taking into account the Lancet’s estimate of 186k by military violence earlier this July and estimating further indirect deaths due to disease and starvation based on previous conflicts of total war against civilians.

Gaza has likely already lost 20% of its population.

Liberal: “Russia is colonizing Ukraine!”

Meanwhile the majority of the country is now owned by Blackrock.

Not only that. Companies are now charging people extra for using cards, passing on their processing fees to consumers.

Well, several close friends reached out to end their friendship with me because I won’t vote for Kamala.

Saw this coming, because it happens every time there is an opportunity for liberals to go full fash, but still hurts.

The left needs to start arming themselves and investing in community self-defense

How many times y’all think Putin has watched the clip of Biden calling him President of Ukraine?

Pigs also have emotional intelligence. Unlike cops.

Yet.

Remember, they expanded the draft age just last week. You know, for no reason at all. /s

Liberals are gonna be seething if their kids eventually get drafted for a hot war with China under Trump. It’ll be our job to remind them that the draft expansion was introduced by a fucking Democrat.

Adding to this, there is no guarantee that revolution will be socialist either. It is more likely that the US balkanizes and descends into civil war between multiple factions that will occupy and go to war over different territories.

There may be socialist projects of various tendencies that arise and form from whatever entities take the US’s place. However, I don’t believe the US as it currently exists on its mainland would likely ever become socialist. Of course, anything’s possible.

When the rest of the world eventually embraces a socialist future, they will look upon the US the same way we look at the pathetic dwindling monarchies still existing in our current age of global capitalism.
