Something I consider when I think about, you know, a potential PPW, Party Rockin' type scenario, whether it be in the US, France, or elsewhere, Germany, what have you, they're depleting the tools of war at a rapid pace. What are they going to do when they run out of these things? All reactionaries are paper tigers, baby.

Furthermore, we're currently watching a group of young men and women battling it out with the most well-equipped military force in the world, backed by the largest empire in the world, dudes in fucking tracksuits, with flip-flops and an RPG, handling business in a corridor that won't look too much different than Santa Fe, New Mexico. Really makes you think.

And I have a feeling, the IDF's operational tactics, the loose goose, shoot em if it moves, carpet bomb em to nothing strategy, it wouldn't work in Atlanta, it wouldn't work in New Orleans. Something to think about.

There is a real possiblity that our leaders are not acting in a material fashion. They're acting irrationally. And this is why you see shit about sacrificing cows and starting the rapture and stuff like that coming out. They actually believe this. And that concerns me.

It's one thing to deal with, hey, they're doing this for profit, hey, they're doing this because this is what capitalism does. It's another thing to contend with hardline, devout evangelicals.

Any other Americans kind of tired of like How pathetic we've become? It's like We've given up on winning. So we're just gonna take the ball home "No, you can't play. We know we will lose and we're not gonna try to get better." We'll just stop playing the game. We won last season so we don't need to play in season two. It's pathetic, it's lame. It's Disheartening, you know at the very least during the Cold War we competed. You know? The capitalists put their all into it. Oh, we're gonna go to the moon! You want to go to Venus We'll go to the moon. We'll do something to compete with you. To show you that we have some gumption. We don't even have that anymore. And that's just sad. What de-industralizing does to a mf. Century of embrassment for the US.

For convenience of exposition, I shall deal first with the universality of contradiction and then proceed to the particularity of contradiction.

I swear it's like Terminally Online Anarchists are in a competition to see who could say the dumbest shit possible and get downvoted the fastest. You ever heard of a transitionary state? You ever heard of scientific Marxism? You ever heard of the process? You ever thought about the fact that the USSR may have skipped quite a few steps? Right? Because you're supposed to go from capitalism to socialism to communism. Right? Right. This is like basic shit. This is very obvious shit. Well they went from peasant class, industrialized, into communism. Right? They weren't even industrialized when communism took place. That's on top of western sabatage, economic pressures and beat the fucking Nazis.

The irony is that you think that a real communist, right, who wants to go from a state to a stateless society all overnight, essentially, is what you're saying. That's a real communist. Maybe we call them anarchists. Well, you know, the irony here is that there are anarchist derivative movements that are happening right now. You have Rojova, you have the Zapatistas. Both of these ideologies acknowledge that a state system not only is compatible with them, although (democratic confederalism would prefer there not to be a state), they even go as far as to understand that the necessity of a state, or a state-like entity, within the framework of our current global material conditions, because everything else is defined by the nation-state system. Look, I'm drunk. But I had to get on ya ass.

I keep telling people the needle has already been threaded, that anarchism and communism should no longer be opposed, modern thinkers have threaded the needle, but then I see a dumbass motherfucker like you posting and I go, well, maybe not.

Keep in mind that the propaganda win here isn't that the bridge didn't survive being hit by a ship. It's that the work safety conditions, and this is on record the company that ran the port or the ship, I can't remember, the work conditions were so poor and the safety so poor and people so overworked that something like this was allowed to happen. And you tie that back in with the trained derailment and the continued overworking of the proletariat.

If something like this happens in New Orleans and damage closes the port for a considerable amount of time, the economic damage would be a black swan event. (͡•_ ͡• )

Wow, who would have thought a country designed around one thing and one thing only, and that being one quarter of profits at a time, is incapable of competing with a country that's designed around the long-term sustainability of communism and the working class.

Got a non RT source, not that I doubt this, but libs will immediately go "RT is state backed" or whatever.

More like this:

  1. The algorithms aren't controlled like that, but they are engineered to promote Amerikan-backed propaganda just by nature of existing within the state.

  2. Youtubers already have no qualifications, for all we know, RealLifeLore has a high school history education and reads wikipedia articles for each of these videos, both of these already have the pro-regime biases built in as well.

  3. Lets say you, a typical liberal, make a YouTube video, it just happens to be that after making this youtube video about how the USA did X thing (in line with the regime's propaganda), you get 50 new Patron subs over the next month, wouldn't you double down on that content? What if your next video someone donates a grand to you over paypal, "Loved that last video! Big fan of the new direction, been a long time viewer, you're videos mean a lot to me"

It only takes a few thousand dollars per youtuber and suddenly you can manipulate the discourse further than your inbuilt biases alone could have, but those inbuilt biases primed the discourse to begin with.

Not saying some people aren't actual Scully and Mulder ahh feds, some are, but for the most part our enemy works in much more subtle ways. Know your enemy.
