🗽UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<Ghetto Bird Edition


🏈 💵Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich and the pedophile Hitlerite-Zionist clique of the American bourgeoisie and its iron grip upon the greatest bigliest country McGod™ ever gave McMan™ on the face of the McEarth™🌭 🍔

>Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid.

<Death to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the father of fascism, the enabler of ethnostates, the treatlerite tyrant, the protector of pedophiles, the exporter of ecocide, the captain of capitalism, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the invader of islands, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™

>Never mind our physical brains shaped by billions of years of evolution.
yeah that means we're changing constantly, meaning there is no metaphysical "human nature". Change is the only constant.

Reminder the original context of the conversation was felix doing his usual "everyone is collaborators bit" and rather than rejecting that and pointing out that most people are cooperative, full of empathy, and not particularly prone to rape and murder (only a small percentage of people ever do that, and you are much more likely to die from a heart attack or car crash than from murder), you doubled down on his stupid bullshit and said "actually all of humanity is bloodthirsty warpigs, it's literally our nature, because muh chimpanzees"

that's stupid! yeah we're related to chimpanzees, I'm not some creationist, retard. I'm saying humans aren't that vicious, and even if we were there is no eternal physical law forcing us to be that way forever.

Your explanation is too voluntarist and conspiratorial as if there are clever priests and ideologues making up ideologies to trick people rather than ideologies being determined products of history and material conditions



 

I can’t be the only comrade worried about this.

Iran, which has been at the forefront of fighting Zionism and global imperialism, may have to relocate millions of people from Tehran in the next few weeks as the capital city faces a massive water crisis. Tehran is running out of water and the only option the government has is to move its people. Iran may very well have to establish a new capital city closer to a water source. This means spending a ton of money the country doesn’t have.

But it doesn’t stop there. The West and the Zios are already taking advantage of this looming disaster. Once Iran is in a state of crisis the CIA will certainly fund a new colour revolution to overthrow the revolutionary Islamic government and replace it with a western puppet, most likely the ousted Shah’s son. The Zionist entity is mocking Iran and “offering” desalinization plants in exchange that the revolutionary government sell out the Palestinian people and recognize the Zionist settler-colony as “legitimate.” This is disgusting. So far, no one else is offering Iran any aid, not even China.

I fear for both the people of Iran and the state of global anti-imperialism because of this.

President just said they're moving the capital due to the water crisis.

Imagine 8 million people in Tehran mass-migrating.

Did something happen yet?

Is it Ayatollver?


Why do people assume Iran's water situation has anything to do with Iranian support for the Palestinian, Lebanese and Yemeni resistance?

This is an interimperialist struggle between imperialist fronts. It is this simple, really.

He's bad for that. Parenti is 100500 better for understanding the world - and therefore dialectics. Zizek is just a meme parasite, basically a (far) leftist Peterson - similarly absolutely irrelevant to reality, talking about his imaginary nonsense, and all his worth being in the memes about him instead of his thought.

You just replaced metaphysics with dialectics didnt you?

Knowing the real history of American radical left-wing groups, this film is far too generous about their capabilities. In reality, they wouldn’t have killed any political figure higher than a superintendent, would likely have set off a bomb that killed a good portion of their members or been shot dead and arrested if they actually tried fighting against an armed resistance.

The should have included Greenwich Village townhouse explosion

>The Weather Underground had been formed from the remnants of Students for a Democratic Society in June 1969, by about a hundred activists who had come to believe that armed struggle was necessary to reform American society. At that meeting, the Weathermen, who had taken their original name from the line "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" in Bob Dylan's 1965 song "Subterranean Homesick Blues" had discussed what actions they might take, and against what targets. The consensus was that the police and the military were legitimate targets, representing the urban racism that their allies the Black Panthers most strongly opposed, and the Vietnam War. Members present recall that while the topic of whether their actions would necessarily involve taking life was largely avoided, beyond general agreement that they should not do so indiscriminately, their actions would likely kill police officers and military personnel.

>The Weathermen purchased a large quantity of dynamite and a number of electric fuses for $60 ($500 in 2024) in New Hampshire in early March. After a meeting they designated three targets, including a noncommissioned officers' dance at Fort Dix, which was due to take place on March 6. It was reported that "arguments went on day and night" in the townhouse, with Kathy Boudin advocating that they kill as many people as possible with anti-personnel bombs. Diana Oughton reportedly had misgivings, although others present say she never showed them. Wilkerson wrote later that she felt powerless to stop what was going on in her father's house. Theodore Gold threatened to kill one close friend after he had a breakdown over the plan at one gathering.

>None of the Weathermen had experience with explosives, and Robbins and Wilkerson did not even understand the basics of electricity. They worked up a simple timer and trigger device that lacked any safety features, and packed the dynamite with sharp roofing nails. Robbins was unwilling to deviate from the way he had been told to build the bomb, and unwilling to listen to suggestions from anyone else.

>Robbins had chosen the dance at Fort Dix as their target; other reports indicate that only some were intended for the dance, with the rest to be detonated inside the administration building Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

China is imperialist, though

do you genuinely think the Brits and French wouldn't just watch in 1939 as Hitler marches East and destroys the Soviets?

>>2572690
>so mindbroken by reddit contrarianism that beating up the nazis BUT with the help of the Western allies is seen as epic gotcha
Lol

>>2572810
How would a weaker Germany in 1939 destroy the Soviets? The sort of long campaign needed to conquer Poland and Russia would mean the Nazis would have no one on the western front to stop Britain and France

>>2572812
>MLnimal admits western imperialism is just a talking point for his ilk
