>>2366781 >>2367757no lol
also does it have to go to the senate again if/when the house passes it, or does it go straight to the president (i'm not american)
>>2367785The people pitching these ideas were focused on their own enrichment as well. It was more like trying to present yourself as having a plan and a lot of money so you could tie up more investors in your project and kickstart it.
>>2367787>>2367790The white house wants to pass it by tomorrow, so presumably it's just going on Trump's desk. It's not entirely certain yet whether the house will vote for it though. It's a 50/50 on whether Trump can unite the GOP and have Demcucks vote for it, or whether internal divisions in the Republican party give way to deny it
It's wild to me that people online, like online leftists, will send me fucking messages telling me to kill myself and talk about how I'm a grifter, but I'm literally like 72 hours from being homeless, fucking, I'm rehoming my dog, like I am probably never been, I've never been this down bad before in my life, and at the same time I reached out to Hello Orgs, I fucking, I'm the one who was like let's donate this money to Palestine, let's donate this money to this charity, like let's donate them to the Red Crescent Society, like I did the fucking fire, like I put out the word, like let's make this space, this venue, a meeting ground for all the political parties that are on the left, all the socialist and anarchist orgs and shit, like if you're a part of that, come here. I'm doing all this while I'm this fucking down bad, and motherfuckers will still send me hate messages, and it's like bro, what do you fucking want from me, like pick up a shovel, because dog, I'm been digging and my shoulders are getting fucking tired.
I'm not sure what the fuck else I'm supposed to do. What is leftism supposed to look like? Like, what is the whole point of this? And I'm gonna be posted up with hella flyers, hella fucking zines, hella pamphlets. I got Capital for Dummies, Imperialism for Dummies, Beginner's Guide to Mutual Aid, fucking all types of stuff we're gonna have on display. I'm the one who organized the damn event. I'm one person, one individual who is barely able to stay alive because I'm unemployed just like 25% of America, big homie. I ain't nothing special about what I'm dealing with. People live in motels, people fucking are unemployed, people fucking live on the street. That's the fucking nature of the beast. That's the nature of the beast, and you motherfuckers are telling me I'm a grifter. I'm out here living in reality.
I have a trans friend who is going to be without healthcare because they live in Arkansas right now. And I linked them up with another person who lives in Philadelphia, who I met through the magazine. And when their lease is up in Arkansas, they're moving to Philadelphia. Wow. Putting two and two together through a platform, thats what this magazine can do.
I reached out to the guy who runs Means TV. We spoke for about an hour and a half a couple of months ago, a few months ago. And I reached out to him and I asked him, one, to read an article that I was quite proud of, two, to let him know that I was still thinking about our meeting and our discussion, and three, to ask him if he could send out our GoFundMe through his network, because all of those people who are on his platform are in his network. That's every major leftist YouTuber media personality. They never got back to me, and I don't think they are going to get back to me. I don't think they're going to push my content into that network. And that's a small club, and motherfucker, you are not in it. And I think about that. How hard would it have been for this motherfucker to shoot an email to all these cats who are supposed to be on the same team as me? Motherfucker cannot get no fucking support. Homegirl of mine brought me a fucking Walmart bag full of groceries from her fucking pantry, big dog. That's real praxis. That's real mutual aid. I'm eating one of the cereal bars right now for breakfast. We're in the trenches because we're fucking soldiers in a class war. What the fuck do you expect?
Furthermore, anytime I speak about anything, I'm putting myself at risk. Like, on a fundamental level, if we're being absolutely 100% serious, when you speak about the things that I speak about in some of the pieces I've written, you are putting yourself in hot water. No one is getting fucking additional support for being an advocate of Palestine. No one is getting additional deals, brand deals, for being a communist. The idea that I'm a grifter is just the stupidest fucking thing that I've had to deal with. Like, bro, if I wanted to grift a culture magazine, I could just not talk about politics. I could do the whole Houdini thing and just never talk about politics and run a successful magazine, because I evidently am able to do that with the politics, which the politics does work against me. It is off-putting to at least some portion of the population. So if I was grifting, you would think I wouldn't take a principled fucking stance on things, but instead I go out of my way to make it a point that if we're going to have a counterculture, it needs to be explicitly anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and militant. Nope, I must be a grifter. Dog. That doesn't make sense. I feel like I've been gaslighted by people who should be allies to me. It's ridiculous. I'm tired of it.
>>2367814>Why is capitalist media so transparent in regards to all thisBecause the point was the cruelty. I mean sending a few hundred people to your bitcoin dictator's prison camp has no material effect whatsoever. THe people sent aren't even leaders or particularly relevant opponents of the ruling class. They are just making a show of it, like when they brag about the awful conditions in ICE detention camps at the border, or when they separate migrants from their family and "lose" their sons and daughters.
THe cruelty is the point.
But until not so long ago it was *just* the cruelty, the show of it. Because imperialism does rely heavily on migration its own policies causes. LAbor moving through borders is just another form of capital. And it is convenient to "brain drain" the periphery and import an underclass of easily coerced migrants to depress domestic wages. And foment economic and political dependence through remittances and vast "diaspora" voting blocks.
But now things are changing somewhat. We are going head first into the cold war and we are entering a period where it's going to be a Syria/Libya/Venezuela/Nicaragua every single year. That is way too much migration and the usual controls are nowhere enough to contain the wage slaves back in the regions they are meant to be exploited at, nor to control the demographics at home to not to heavily swing outside of comfort.
You can only create so many gusanos over time, if you import half a country's population over a single year, because you set their homes on fire and destroyed their economy, you are not gonna end up with obedient "dreamers". Again, as was the case for when NATO destroyed some country in MENA and it became mandatory for some intermediary country like Turkey to absorb all the refugees, or face demographic and political difficulties for the imperialist powers.
So now they are building this actual security state a round migration as a form of safe nationalism which empowers all the domestic fascists without their ideological nonsense veering too far from the interests of the bourgeoisie. It is okay to terrorize "illegal aliens" into being good clandestine wage slaves, but that's as far as the leash stretches in enabling white nationalism. The obvious conclusion being the fascists will have to find the internal enemy/scapegoat on "the left", which as the red scare pis made more explicit will also be related to China and foreign influence in general, putting a nice xenophobic ribbon that ties it all together.
>>2367833 (me)
To put it shortly: The imperial core are adopting the policies toward the periphery that Israel has towards non-Jews.
>>2367846The hacktivist space has been dead and gone for over a decade.
move on anon ffs.
>>2367875someone needs to put this cunt on 2X speed.
Bring the zoomers in already jfc this will send a man mad.
>>2367844please explain what you meant by this. my question was
>so did anyone figure out WHY that wignat lured/killed those firefighters the other dayI wanted a specific answer, not a link to some psychobabble from glowiepedia
>>2367815>It's wild to me that people online, like online leftists, will send me fucking messages telling me to kill myself and talk about how I'm a grifter,me: "you must should start the American Workers Party lol"
>>2367825>I'm the one who organized the damn event. I'm one person, one individual who is barely able to stay alive because I'm unemployedGive your money to Erik Houdini to start the American Workers Party
I think we need a united front, and these cultural events and venues can be the space for people from the PSL, from the DSA, from the FRSO, to come, from the Mutual Aid Orgs, from the Food Not Bombs Org, to come, discuss, chat. Oh, you're a market socialist. That's great. I'm an anarcho-communist. Oh, you're a hardline anarchist. Awesome, awesome. And you're into democratic centralism? The point is, you get all these people in the same room, in the same space, and you make space for them to have discussion, while we still have time to have those discussions, because keep in mind, they could come and repress our communities at any time. These are queer spaces that have historically been policed. Left spaces have historically been policed. So we build the space to have the discussions while we have the time, so we could do what? Drumroll, please. Build the will for revolution. This is like basic revolutionary theory, big dog. I need to build a material base of supporters if I'm going to have a party or some sort of actual organization beyond a magazine. I need to be able to have 50 people paying me $25 a month. If I can get 50 people to pay me $25 a month, then I can do this full-time and not have to worry about being on the street. 50 people, $25. For 25 people, $50. You see what I'm saying? I feel like if I can't do that How can I possibly be a leader of anything when I'm literally about to be homeless, literally about to be fucking on the street?
Like, the problem is, I don't know how to make this magazine make money without having a shitload of money to spend to get started. All of these brands that have success have a lot of money to start with. I can't even afford to get a test print of three pieces of my own clothing to get. And I have the models, I have everything lined up, and I cannot even afford to do that because I am so fucking down. I'm gonna be honest with you, Chief, I really appreciate the kind compliment. I'm trying to internalize the kind compliments that people do give me more. Not just write it off as a sarcastic joke that, like, maybe you really do think that I could restart the American Workers' Party or some shit like that. I don't know. I would just like to fucking not be homeless. Um, my cup is just about empty, and I keep finding more water in there. But it's hard to even just think about everything that's happening in the world when you're literally on the edge of the abyss yourself. And I know that that's not an excuse, but I'm exhausted also in part because I don't have an outlet of people to discuss the way I feel about this shit with. I don't have family members that I could just call up and tell them how I feel. That's not an option for me. So I'm just trying to be locked in, grindset, mindset, just fucking buckle down, hustle, and get it. But- I'm fucking tired.
>>2368024no, it is too early to get tired.
The story ends when the feds put a bullet in our heads. Inspire yourself from Tay K – the hustle never ends kkkomrade
>>2368055yep
americans feast on the treats of their imperialist looting
it's good that yankees suffer now and then
