So true

I obviously don't know the true military situation in Iran, but based on what I do know, I don't think they should accept this deal, even if the us and Israel were open to it. There is no guarantees that the us will withdraw all assets from neighboring countries, nor a specific mechanism to ensure the Epstein forces won't simply ignore the ceasefire and attack again at some point in the future.

I think I'm one if the few people on this site in that age range (I'm 23), and I actively organize with many people in their early 20s. My experience is much less universally negative, though there are elements of it I see. Irony poisoning, apathy and disillusionment seem to be extremely widespread. On the one hand, certain reactionary viewpoints (esp misogyny) will be stated more openly by some, but finding a genuine supporter of any given reactionary politician is quite rare in my experience-- in fact even those who are vocally misogynistic tend to be equally vocally anti any reactionary politician they can name. No one has much hope for the future yet turning that disillusionment into action can be quite difficult.

In my workplace, "Epstein class" rhetoric is pretty much universal. sympathy with Iran and Palestine is commonplace (people post Iran Lego videos in the work group chat regularly, and people reply "death to Israel"), sympathy for the us army and the police is minimal. However this coexists with jokes about sexual assault, ZOG posting, and hustle grind brainworms, and even pro deportation comments. Oh and ableist language is all pervasive. But I'm openly queer and trans on a blue collar job in a rural area, and I have only ever had serious issues with that around coworkers over 40. I don't know if that would have been the case 10 years ago.

I think the overall trend is disillusionment and even pseudo radicalization becoming extremely normal, without any coherent ideological framework behind it. The tendency usually expresses itself in adventurism or inaction. I have yet to see it manifest in fascism (to most people my age, trump is the usa establishment) in the traditional sense, but neither is it progressive per se. It is discontent that seems to reject action, organization or ideological coherence.

You can ethically watch this if you simply pirate it. But why on earth should you?

Yes, and they are unfortunately not surprising. he moved the ufw leadership to a compound in tehachapi (it was previously in Delano, a town with a lot of ufw rank and file members, esp grape workers whereas tehachapi was ranch country with very few) and ran it essentially as a cult. I recommend Frank Bardakes book on the subject if you want a vast amount of detail on the subject
