US Senate kills resolution that would have limited Trump action in Venezuela
Senators Josh Hawley of Missouri and Todd Young of Indiana, who had joined three other Republicans to advance the resolution alongside Democrats last week, flipped after they said they received assurances from the Trump administration. With Hawley and Young’s votes, the Senate was split 50-50 on the resolution. JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote. Republican senators Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins cast their votes for the war powers resolution alongside Democrats.

From the Ashes of the Arab Spring
On January 14, 2011, Tunisian dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was forced to resign, after four weeks of revolt in the north African country. It was a first major scalp for the wave of upheaval known as the Arab Spring — a democratic upsurge across the region, which, however, also ended in many defeats. In an interview for the Swiss website marx21.ch, scholar Gilbert Achcar reflects on the legacy of those years and the prospects of a resurgent revolutionary process today. The interview was conducted before the most recent uprising in Iran.

The Political Economy of the Current Uprising in Iran
With hundreds of protesters killed within days in Iran, amid a blackout imposed by a state that blocks any flow of information, parts of the international Left have rushed to pronounce judgments in a mode of immediacy that ignores history and misreads the situation. This article addresses one such claim: that Iran “is not capitalist,” has not undergone neoliberalization, and that sanctions alone explain its economic crisis—a statement that would bewilder any Iranian worker, but circulates unhindered among leftists in the imperial core. This text does not address two other determinants of the conjuncture: the reactionary political hegemony over the uprising and the role of imperialist intervention—both targets of other uninformed assessments in recent days. Denying massacres and neoliberal austerity does not serve the cause of anti-imperialism in the long term, even if realpolitik and geopolitical considerations push some toward immediate discursive interventions in the current situation. Statism is not internationalist solidarity. Nor does the immediate embrace of the situation as “revolutionary,” coupled with the dismissal of imperialism and fascism, serve the cause of revolution.

NTA but to answer your original question OP my hunch is in cases where this can't be explained by the usual factors(being a petty bourgeois and the ensuing hitler particles) I have found it usually comes from a place of people who care too deeply about one or more types of idealism and/or woowoo and would rather blather on about escaping the matrix and how spiritually enlightened they are then embrace a more materialist outlook which might imply they aren't an extra special indigo child or more rarely you'll meet a dude whose resembles trump in mindset,demeanor and personality so much that an attack on trump may as well be an attack on them. That being said also the shitass psychoanalyzing is predicated on there being a significant group of people who get slidelined by the Haute bourgeois all the time but I also think they're too good for organizing with the proles and end up thinking everything is a conspiracy personally targeting them.

>>2644793
Depends on what section of the right you're talking about, for bourgeois types it's just a natural defence so they can retain their power and wealth at the top of the hierarchy.

If you mean uneducated, blue collar types it's usually from a place of ignorance and unwillingness to to learn about what socialism actually entails because they have been brainwashed to believe it will effect their material conditions in a negative way.

And for the 4chan and internet right types most of them are anti-social, outcasts suffering from parental neglect and mental illness who have feel scorned by society and the the masses they feel make up that society because they believe they are ultimately responsible for their shit lot in life and for rejecting them socially from society and the way society is in general, they in turn adopt nonsensical, extreme and absurd beliefs out of spite or actively want to harm the masses through mass shootings (the discourse on "normalfags" for example.) They have to retain and upkeep the ideology because their entire ego and identity rests upon it and rejecting it would make their entire identity, life and sense of enlightenment and uniqueness a lie.

>it was japan, 2ch and the internet which made the rightists anti-feminists

Not really. If we're talking about rightists in the West, they've always been anti-feminist, and a lot of the anti-feminist/anti-progressive vitriol that really took off around the time of GamerGate was merely a continuation of decades of stereotypes about "SJWs"/progressive types. For example, the idea that feminists are all a bunch of unhinged spinsters that live alone with their cats is about as old as feminism itself.

Sure, imageboards may have made it easier for rightist ideas to be disseminated, but those ideas didn't just spontaneously appear because some reclusive nerd watched an episode of Sailor Moon

Guy on the right is the hottest thoughbeit

The Alt-Right would still have existed without 4chan, it might be hard to remember now but there was a time before Charlottesville when they were thriving throughout YouTube, reddit, etc. Not just 4chan.

>>2644399
I've always found the idea of 4Chan being solely responsible for the rise of the Aut-Right incredibly silly, and people that believe in it often ignore broader right wing trends in a lot of first world countries that allowed reactionary ideas to germinate.

Sure, perhaps if little Timmy didn't go on /pol/ when he should've been doing his homework instead it may have saved him from becoming a fan of Spick Fuentes, but he's still growing up in a wealthy household where both of his parents are Republican, still living in a deeply Republican state, and still living in a country that explicitly benefits from white supremacist imperialism

>Iran may seem and act like another neoliberal shithole but it's not cuz le morality police
Nice argument, unfortunately hijab laws were laxed and de facto removed from major urban areas following the 2022 protests when they began to threaten the longevity of the bourgeois state.

Similar thing happened in Saudi Arabia when social norms had to transform to accommodate the economic reality.

These two cases come down to one fundamental reason: the international character of capital and it's inevitable domination of the superstructure (what libs call globalisation) this is a progressive development that brings the workers of the world even closer. Even Afghanistan, what appears like centuries old reaction, is coming to terms with it thanks to its liberal capitalist base.

Workers of the world unite.
