A massive wave of repression is coming. We can survive this, then overthrow the imperialist deep state.

I used to read Shea for a good laugh, but he's gotten (openly) bad enough for me to not even get a laugh out of.
At any point during that time did you attempt to reason with the man who has only two comments on his substack and a dozen faves? He's almost 15% of the way to figuring something out! People like this, once you renovate them, blog away for you in absentia. That is unless you decide to have a struggle session in absentia where nobody sees it? Makes me sad for both Shea and Hexbear. Lol. Posting is about bringing ideas together!

To start off, you're only beginning to approach a real criticism of what Shea was saying here and you all went off talking about your opinions on Trotskyists. "Not always 100%" could be taken to mean the MAN HIMSELF is not always at 100%. He clearly belongs to the category of GrayZone contributors who have their little articles and haplessly become Blumenthal's bitches in the hopes of getting what they see as important messages out there. Mate seems like more of an operator. Nevermind, unread that sentence. Let's continue.
INDONESIA IS A PERIPHERAL COUNTRY. Any amount of military force and death is almost justifiable if it can still conceivably enclose the entire country. To (mis?) quote Stalin every historical parallel is perilous, this one is asinine. Militarized killings of communists continue in Indonesia to this day. The US does not need a Jakarta method, it has the PSL, CPUSA, DSA (if you ask me).
I disagree with the notion that PSL ghosting the Uhuru movement and then scheduling a march to draw attention away from theirs isn't harmful. The best you can really say about the PSL is they are keeping their sponsors and participating in electoralism while also being as visible as possible activism-wise. If you start looking into their webs of funding and all these organizations like ANSWER it's a really small world.
I don't think this is going to lead to an Indonesia-style mass killing. That's insane. But Shea isn't advocating any solutions here either. Just kind of implies people should try harder?
You want to know what my solution is? Fuck you! I've been waiting years for yours! I am moving to VIETNAM!
The dude just strikes me as a useful idiot or fed. The weird hate on PSL (going back for months), arguing for a Red/Brown coalition (not the cool POC kind) and all the vulgar materialist and Patsoc takes he's rattled off give me really bad vibes. His rare good take is not immediately dehumanizing Russians and Ukrainians.
Am I supposed to know what your particular use of this jargon means here?
alliance with fascists
Like this could literally just mean that he works for the GZ and wrote positively about the Blumenthal Boy's ANSWER CodePink PSL rally thing where pepes were skulking around. A little specificity would go a long way here rather than just using more emphatic denunciations.
Yes but what was the alliance with fascists in question?
Dude regularly boosts fascist "patsocs" this is not the hill you want to die on bud.
