Author of the article thinks its "punk rock" to support the blue capitalist party. It's just not realistic to do anything except vote blue no matter who. You have to be an adult about this. Until Communist Jesus arrives and saves us from ourselves, it's just not the right time to do anything except maintain the status quo. Very Smart author.

I mean impeaching cabinet members is kind of pointless innit? Trump can easilly find a replacement that is functionally identical. You have to cut the head off VP+President at the very least. But really just skip all that bullshit and start advocating for a Constitutional Convention, the US government is broken and a CC is the only non-violent option.

These kind of rogue, blatantly illegal actions only further damage the US’ international standing and ultimately help global anti-imperialist forces. If they had killed him they would have made him a martyr. But abducting a head of state from his own country is even worse. It is an incomprehensibly bad look. It tramples all norms of international relations going back hundreds of years. There is a reason why coups are usually done through proxies.

Even the US’ most loyal vassals are struggling to find a way to unequivocally justify this. So now if they do a show trial they will further expose the farcical nature of the “rules based order” and the absurdity of the charges leveled at him. And if they let him go under international pressure it will be a public admission of defeat. No matter what this is a lose-lose for the empire. Just like Gaza was a lose-lose proposition for the Zionist entity no matter how many people they slaughtered.

Everyone already knows this. The "rules based order" has always been a facade for allowing Multinational Corporations to do whatever they want. You are huffing copium. No one is on the fence. Every Western Nation knows the game, and leaders of those countries are selected because they support it. Venezuela was never in the club, neither is Colombia or Cuba, but they literally do not matter. If Trump had spent 3 months carpet bombing Caracas to nothingness the response of the world would look exactly the same. Morality is not a part of the calculus, neither is most of latin america.

Yo the "epstein files" don't matter and never did. It's the Liberal Rapture. It isn't real, and no matter who or what they say it will have exactly the same impact to Capital as the Panama Papers.

This was always allowed. Anything posted publicly on the internet can be manipulated by anyone for any purpose, and has been since the first ASCII art on a bbs existed.

Politics is indeed pathetic. But it's also the least important aspect of an elected politician.

 

The idea of "student loan forgiveness for entrepreneurs" is something I noticed 10 years ago during Hillary Clinton's uninspired campaign for president, even before Trump entered the arena as a serious candidate.

Looking at a few search-engine hits filtered for only 2015, and I see the following article. There are a few other derivative articles with same idea.

https://www.nbcnews.com/better/careers/helping-millennial-entrepreneurs-conquer-student-loan-debt-n408636

But basically the idea of this group of young "entrepreneurs" who were saddled by student loans deserved special government attention. Especially from the Clinton campaign.

Kind of weird, but they had a campaign full of weird shit, like Russian Drone submarines, or a no-fly zone over Syria, or the declaration that universal health-care "will never ever happen."

But then 4 years later after Clinton was humiliated, we have her heir-apparent Kamala Harris talking about the same oddly specific policy: "According to her plan, Harris intends to give student loan debt forgiveness to Pell grant recipients who successfully open businesses in underserved communities and operate those businesses for three years."

https://psmag.com/news/kamala-harris-student-debt-forgiveness-plan-part-of-proposal-to-support-black-entrepreneurs/

And now it's 4 years later, and we have a very old representative of New York City, Nydia Velázquez introducing the same policy!

https://democrats-smallbusiness.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4769

Who the fuck is pushing this policy? Who is it for? Why are Democratic Politicians so fixated on this fucking worthless extremely narrowly targeted policy? It's been 10 years, and this policy keeps coming back almost as a slogan. Why?!

 

Garbage Island full of garbage people thinks cars prevent sexual assaults.

 

A pretty standard pro-environmental piece, however I do appreciate how it calls out the "German Green Party," which is obviously just an astro-turfed political party funded by the coal industry.

And of course the criticism of about the farce of Carbon Capture is spot-on.

 

A growing number of Senate Democrats appear open to making it harder for migrants to seek asylum in order to secure Republican support for aiding Ukraine and Israel.

This is what the democrats stand for. Unlimited funding for the MIC and border-control, but social issues are not a priority.

Stop voting for the parties of Capital.
