🗽 UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<Zelensky doesn't have the cards but neither do I edition

Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich: 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. 🏈 💵

One of the main reasons for repatriating gold is due to G7 nations freezing Russia’s foreign exchange reserves after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict.

Ritesh Jain, founder of investment firm Pinetree Macro, told the Economic Times. “In this new era, if you don't have custody of your gold, it's not truly yours,” Jain stated.

Just about most attempts of social services for less developed economies go like this: Social service is underfunded to allow for competition -> people complain about it being ass -> social service is left to the market -> it's just as bad but now it costs (more) money -> populist glup shitto politician gets elected and funds the social service again -> repeat

While it varies from fascist to fascist, a lot of us agree with many issues with leftists geopolitically: Israel-Palestine, the arab world in general (see: Ba'athism), China, Russia-Ukraine war (granted, this is a pretty divisive one), NATO, american influence over the world in general. Leftists who support pro western causes (in modern times Ukraine and seperatist movements in China, for example) are a psyop by the CIA and trotskyists to turn leftists into gay liberals but painted in red.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

Aren't immigrants from the global south who leave their countries and work for multi-national corporations for peanuts scabs? Why do we delude ourselves into supporting them?(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST)

If you hold that communism's victory is inevitable then genuinely why bother with all the heart ache and tiring work of doing action, educating, keeping informed ect. Why not just do whatever tickles your fancy if your contribution will be less than 0.001%?

It's a question I've asked myself a lot when I feel like killing myself in despair and I've only ever really resolved that this is just my lot, someone's gotta do what little they can with others who feel the same (or not) and deal with it like a man.

History bros here? Can anyone explain how Islam had managed to permanently replace the dominant religions of Iran and North India, 1000+ old at that moment, even after both had overthrown direct Arab (Umayad) rule? Was Islam geniunely this much more popular among lower classes of these societes than the religions of old? (I am prety certain that Islam is more historically progressive than Hinduism, but that alone doesn't mean much). Or Muslims just were so absurdly efficient colonisers?

From supporting the bourgeois state hunting down, imprisoning, or outright murdering workers on the basis of foreign national origin justified by collaborationist opportunism (aka left anti-immigrant rhetoric)

To upholding le national struggles 25 entire fucking years after the 20th Century demonstrated how it will NEVER LEAD TO COMMUNISM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE

To supporting literal racial essentialist logic where certain races (i.e. “black people” “oppressed nationalities” etc) are more revolutionary than others and le heckin Marx simply didn’t consider how important race and nation truly is

Every single type of so-called socialist, outside a very narrow slice, has more in common with Adolf Hitler than Karl Marx, they deny this, but they’re also proud of it, when the fuck will they stop, and is violence the only way to make them (and you) cease and fucking desist?(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

We are told of human and animal sacrifice as a vestige of religious superstition. We are sometimes told that the ruling class still engages in the superstitious forms of human and animal sacrifice for the purposes of achieving some kind of mystical end not rooted in evidence. But what about the very real human and animal sacrifice that we still perform not for superstitious reasons but for scientific reasons? Capitalists plan wars explicitly to destroy excess means of production and commodities, including the commodity labor power in the physical form of human beings, as noted by Rajani Palme Dutt in Fascism and Social Revolution Chapter 3. In order to learn if a new medicine or technology is effective, it must be tested on animals and/or humans for side-effects. In order for revolution to succeed you need not just thought leaders like Lenin but thousands of ordinary people to fight, often to the point of sacrificing their very lives for small gains. Will we be able to abolish the "rational and scientific" forms of human and animal sacrifice along with the "irrational and superstitious" forms of human and animal sacrifice in a more advanced society, such as a Communist society, or perhaps later on, a Kardashev Type I or Type II civilization? Or will the sacrifice of human and animal life always be needed to move things forward? If humans merge with their technology and cease to be human in the original biological sense, will they still need to or even be able to sacrifice themselves for some cause?
