Am I the only one on here with Epstein fatigue?

I hate this shit. I hate how the Epstein debacle has even made leftists throw out solid understandings of class and imperialism. WHO GIVES A FUCKING SHIT if the ruling class are baby-eating Satan-worshipping Illuminati? THEY'RE STILL EXPLOITING PROLES AND SHOULD BE OPPOSED ON THIS REASON ALONE.

But what really fucking grinds my gears is seeing how tenaciously Democrats and liberals are desperate to turn Epstein into Russiagate 2.0. They sincerely believe they can use the Epstein shit to remove Trump from office and put him in jail for the rest of his life. First of all, as a cis woman who is also a sexual assault survivor, I can tell you that sexual assault is one of the hardest crimes to prove in a court of law. Even if Trump wasn't rich and didn't have the money to get away with his (alleged) crimes, there's still no possible way he'd ever get convicted of a statutory rape that occurred decades ago; there's simply way too much reasonable doubt. But also in this is seeing how garden-variety liberals are really, REALLLLLY pushing the "Epstein was Mossad" allegation, and that he was pimping out underage girls to get blackmail material on world leaders so they would be puppets of Israel. In the case of Trump, they're saying Trump is entirely a puppet of these "Zionist Jewish supremacists" like Epstein, and nearly everything Trump is doing policy-wise is purely in service to Israel. Liberals are even going to far as to call the current Iran War the "Epstein-AIPAC War", not just because Trump launched the war to distract from the Epstein files, but because Netanyahu has all the Epstein blackmail material on Trump and is using this to coerce him into going to war for Israel. This of course completely ignores how American Empire works and things like the US wanting to take control of Iran's oil and all that. But in this, it's very obvious to me that two things are going on here: 1. just like how the Democrats were pushing Russiagate during Trump's first term to "prove" that Trump was a "puppet of Russia" they're now using the Epstein files to "prove" Trump is a puppet of Israel/Zionists, and 2. the Democrats are now going to embrace anti-Zionism in the context of the alleged Epstein-Israel blackmail as a way of portraying themselves as the "peace party" like they did in the 2000s. There's zero doubt in my mind that most of this is motivated by the midterm elections and the Democrats' needing theirPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It looks like the hysteria over Gabriel Rockhill's expose of CIA funded western marxism has hit Jacobin. Since Rockhill's book was published, he's been living rent free in the heads of critical theorists. A bourgeois Indian academic who lives in the US and considers China "sweatshop socialism" has made at least 20 FB posts about Rockhill over the past month. Katerina Kolozova, a "marxist" from FYROM who wrote an article where she said "real marxists" wanted the breakup of Yugoslavia because it was "fake socialism" and Monkeydonians were "real europeans" unlike "Russians and Ukrainians" also went into meltdown mode. The Jacobin article just ties it all together. The author says we need critical theory and western marxism more than we need another Stalin or Mao. But given how impotent western marxists have been to achieve any kind of revolutionary success, it seems that their main issue with Rockhill is that he accurately diagnoses them as hacks. None of the articles, op-eds, or posts about Rockhill's book actually try to refute the facts he presents (backed up by FOIA requests) but just defend bourgeois liberal democracy as superior to actually existing socialism. The Indian admitted to me he didn't even finish Rockhill's book, and one of my irl friends who's been flipping out about it has refused to even read it. If Rockhill is so wrong, why is it no one can actually refute his truth nukes?

This guy's video is wrong, he's wrong, Stalin was a marxist, its just that marxism itself goes against Marx - Marx himself rejected "marxism" and "marxists". Stalin was indeed a marxist, a socialdemocrat like the other "marxists".

Trump puts onus on Iran’s authorities as they project hardened stance
Iran’s authorities and state media project that they are less interested than before the war in negotiations with the United States if they go beyond their accepted terms, as mediated talks failed to materialise in Pakistan.Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met senior Pakistani officials in Islamabad on Saturday and left for Oman, to be later bound for Russia. The top diplomat, who was not joined by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf like in a previous round of negotiations earlier this month, said he was “yet to see if the US is truly serious about diplomacy”.

"The dominant youth archetype of 2020s suburban and provincial America. The dinergoth sits at the mainstream convergence of once-niche culture: alt fashion, geek fandoms, and downward mobility.

Formed online via Discord, TikTok, and YouTube, dinergoths mix formerly subcultural aesthetics like goth, emo, piercings, and dyed hair into mass-retail fashion. They openly display interests once seen as nerdy or deviant: anime, queerness, cosplay, furry culture, BDSM. Neurodivergent diagnoses are worn as identity markers.

Unlike earlier subcultures, dinergoths aren't rebellious or ironic. Hentai and stagnation are just facts of life. Cultural touchstones include Deltarune, Hazbin Hotel, Genshin Impact, VTubers, streamers, and drawing "OCs". They practice queerness as default, learned through fandom rather than via theory.

Dinergoths are suburban or rural, often working in service, warehouse, or anonymous office jobs. More Buffalo than Brooklyn. They prioritize comfort, creative hobbies, and online community over career status. Content creation is often seen as an exit out of a disenchanted world.

Dinergoth traits now permeate Gen Z mass culture, but the archetype is clearest in the pierced, anime-addled, downwardly mobile alt-prole who thrives in the stagnation and placelessness of the American hinterlands."
The person who came up with this is a rightoid so he focuses on the "overweight green haired non-binary walmart prole who spends xer time off talking on hazbin hotel fandom discords" type, but it also largely applies to the Samantha Rupnow types as well if you swap a few words around.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
TL;DR Our friend Erik is in jail for allegedly trolling a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, and we’re putting together a bail fund for him. If we don't get him out in 10 days or locate a foster the local animal shelter may put down his dog.

Hey everyone. We do not come here lightly and it is with a heavy heart that we come to you and ask for monetary assistance. Not for ourselves but for a dear friend of ours who was arrested Tuesday February 24th 2026 by the police.

Sometime in November of 2025, not long after the Kirk assassination, our friend allegedly got into a conflict on Instagram with a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, when she visited their city. In this conflict he allegedly referenced Kirk's assassination and that was enough for her to take these as threats on her life and call the police on him and an investigation was conducted where they allegedly found evidence of plans to harass Bennet next time she visits their City.

The primary contradiction in non-AES Global South countries is not "foreign-bourg vs national-bourg" but rather, it's "industrial capitalist vs financial capitalist".

An imperialist foreign Western capitalist who builds a factory and develops the productive forces by outsourcing and transferring technology and capital is infinitely more progressive than a "patriotic" "sovereign" nationalist financial capitalist or service capitalist.

Countries that realized this simple fact, like South Korea, Mexico, Poland, Indonesia etc are able to develop and massively increase their standard of living.

Countries that misguidedly pursued "sovereignty" instead via protectionism and over regulation, like many post-colonial countries, suffered from stagnation. Those countries were actually scammed by their "patriotic" bourgeoisie to protect their local capital from competition that would have built industry and improved their standard of living.

Therefore, being blindly anti-imperialist by default is not useful. Collaborating with foreign and domestic industrial giants while keeping both domestic and foreign finance at bay should be the primary goal of socialists in these countries.
