>Although in San Francisco the strike degenerated into anti-Chinese rioting, elsewhere it achieved the remarkable spirit of solidarity that transcended divisions of skill, ethnicity, and race. In St. Louis, Louisville, and other cities, rallies and marches brought together "white and colored men, … men of all nationalities in one supreme contest for the common rights of workingmen." At the same time the Great Strike revealed the political power and collective consciousness of the urban middle and upper classes, which joined with municipal authorities and veterans' organizations to form "citizen militias" that did battle with strikers. St. Louis' Committee of Public Safety organized a huge private army with two Civil war generals (one from each side) at its head, and effectively suppressed the city's general strike.
HOW THE FUCK IS THIS NOT CLASS STRUGGLE? QUIT COPING. You said "class struggle is impossible in america after 1865" I gave you two examples, you then moved the goalpost to how there was some racism in 1877 while ignoring the battle of blair mountain, and even when I showed you that yes, while there was anti-chinese racism in san francisco, in other cities the great strike took on an anti-racist character of class solidarity, which had to be suppressed LITERALLY BY BOTH NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN BOURGEOISIE.

Anyone scrolling around this thread and seeing other examples of class struggle after 1865 that were given but are getting ignored?

Hello amerimutts comrades, i'm a humble brazillian monkey that exclusively posts under /brg/ all the way at /latam/, but due to overreach by jannies that have decided to target me, personally, i am not able to do that.
The reason for my ban is that i made fun of one of the moderators, and they'll admit that much on pic related. As a result of this unfair ban, they refuse to take a look at my case, and when i continued posting via TOR, they deactivated it all over /latam/.
Despite requesting for review, they decided to cover for each other, and act like a clique of petty-tyrants that don't need to answer for their decisions over the community. I hate to bring this up to your board/thread, but at this moment i'm out of options, so if one of you know a jannie or can get a hold of one, please denounce this clear exemple of targeted attack.
Again, i'm not spamming shit, i'm not derailing threads, and by their own account at pic related, i only post on ONE thread of ONE board regularly, so whatever "damage" or "disruption" i'm causing, is pretty contained, and doesn't justify this targeted persecution.

<Under slavery, where slaves are not even literate, where they have no means to organise, to strategise, mindless savage violence against the master is the only option. And that option must be taken. Anything else means supporting White Supremacy.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>women and children
<the master
Pick one
Also!
>Under slavery, where slaves are not even literate, where they have no means to organise, to strategise
plenty of slaves were able to become literate covertly (Frederick Douglass for example), and plenty of illiterate slaves were able to organize (Harriet Tubman for example) and slavery, whether the ancient mode of production, or colonial chattel slavery, almost never actually ended through slave rebellion, Haiti being the sole exception, and likely only succeeding because France was too bogged down with its own revolution and counter revolution at the time to crush the Haitians across the Atlantic. In the USA emancipation was achieved not through slaves killing masters, but through industrialists and slave owners having a civil war. In the British colonies it was merely legislated out of existence. In ancient times, it simply evolved into serfdom over several centuries, with slave revolts like the three servile wars of Rome almost always failing. We have to look at actual historical evidence when making bold claims. But this website doesn't care about history or evidence any more. Just bait posting and cortisol spiking. It is mentally ill.

>You are a pedantic moron. By master I obviously mean the huwhites. Men women children: all the whites.
yeah i know what you mean. what you mean is stupid because mastery is a relation of power over the slave that women and children in a patriarchal system like slavery do not possess. If a white male master so desired, he could order the slaves to rape his wife or dispose of his unwanted child. Violence against the wife and children under slavery was not as common as violence against the slave, but lumping in the women and children of the master with the master is retarded. At that point you might as well include the mixed race house slaves too since they are "closer" to the master and sometimes even related to him.
>>2643262

Dessalines gave the whites who supported the revolution, like the Polish diaspora in Haiti, legal protection from persecution. Your understanding of the Haitian Revolution is anti-historical.

I used to take screenshots from it back in 2019 to show people. They usually were just little blurbs of status updates that read like:

Those men were subsequently sent to their native Venezuela in a prisoner swap last July. And the United States’ decision to surgically remove Nicolas Maduro from power earlier this month has left relations between the two countries in a “delicate” state of flux, the top U.S. diplomat wrote in a two-page legal declaration.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is not happy with the Justice Department's criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, multiple sources told ABC News, warning it creates an unnecessary distraction.
Bessent conveyed those concerns directly to President Donald Trump in a call on Sunday, sources said.
Sources added Bessent was not advocating for Powell or questioning the investigation when he spoke to the president, but he did make clear his concerns.

U.S. President Donald Trump visited a Ford factory in Dearborn, Mich., Tuesday and dismissed the relevance of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, saying the U.S. doesn’t need the trade deal and that “Canada would love it.”
“The problem is we don’t need their product. We don’t need cars made in Canada, we don’t need cars made in Mexico, we want to make them here,” Trump said to reporters.

President Trump has a surprising phone pal: He and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani have texted back and forth recently, two sources familiar with their conversations tell Axios.
Why it matters: The back-channeling between the democratic socialist mayor and Trump — who once derided Mamdani as a "communist" — indicates their private communications have been more extensive than previously thought.
It also suggests that the good vibes they presented during Mamdani's post-election visit to the Oval Office in November have developed into an ongoing relationship.
The texting started soon after Trump and Mamdani exchanged numbers during their November meeting, the sources told Axios.
https://www.axios.com/2026/01/13/trump-call-nyc-mamdani-calls-text>>2643996I think the problem is rather than having a proper unified industrial proletariat, because of outsourcing and deindustrialization, we instead have a lot of service sector workers with precarious high-turnover jobs that are difficult to unionize, lumpenproletariat, criminals, homeless people, prostitutes, drug addicts, and a bunch of prison slaves. So there is immiseration but there is very few immiserated proletariat. We also have of course a lot of "middle class" PMCs, labor aristocrats, petty bourgeois, cops, and troops. It's an insane and chaotic situation. And then each state has its own set of unique laws and quasi-sovereignty. Then there's the nuke question, and the fact that the most reactionary people in our society are by far more armed than the oppressed elements, and in fact, more armed than most militaries…

>Exclusive: Venezuela begins reversing oil output cuts as exports resume, sources sayJan 13 (Reuters) - Venezuela's state energy company PDVSA has begun reversing oil production cuts made under a strict U.S. oil embargo as crude exports resume under U.S. supervision, three sources close to operations said on Tuesday.
The OPEC member's oil exports fell close to zero in the weeks after the United States imposed a blockade on oil shipments in December, with only U.S. oil major Chevron (CVX.N), opens new tab exporting crude from its joint ventures with PDVSA under U.S. license.
The embargo left millions of barrels stuck in onshore tanks and vessels. As storage filled, PDVSA was forced to shut wells and order oil production cuts at joint ventures in the country.
The state company is now instructing the joint ventures to resume output from well clusters that were shut as a third oil tanker set sail from Venezuela's coast on Tuesday.
The mood at many of PDVSA's offices and operational sites has rapidly changed since the company said it was progressing in negotiations with the U.S. that are expected to bring much-needed investment into oilfields and facilities, the sources said.

>>2644021>He is wrong, he is imperialist, and he doesnt understand basic economic because profit is transformed into renthe's saying that entire step is skipped because digital like software are subscribed to and paid for repeatedly rather than sold as commodities once. Think about it. In the 90s you would pay for a a piece of software on a CD rom and permanently own it. Now you pay subscriptions for software, services, and games, and pay for them repeatedly even as they get shittier, long after you have paid the full amount of the cost of the labor power employed to produce them. It's rent rather than profit. It's not profit converted into rent, like the profits of commodity sales being given partially to land lords who own the land a factory is on. This is different.

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that no clear information is available on how many protesters have been killed in Iran amid nationwide unrest.
Asked how many protesters have been killed, Trump said: "Nobody has been able to give me an accurate number."
"Everything is a lot. One is a lot. But I have heard numbers much lower, I have heard numbers much higher. We'll probably find out over the next 24 hours. I think it’s a lot. It’s too many," he said during a trip to a car plant in Michigan
When asked what kind of aid would be provided to protesters after he earlier said “help is on the way," Trump stated: "You're gonna have to figure that one out, I'm sorry."
Starlink offered to Iranians for free - reports
Elon Musk's SpaceX is offering its Starlink satellite service for free in Iran, according to reports.
Bloomberg News said that the subscription fee has been waived so people with Starlink receivers in the country can access the service without paying.
It comes as the internet blackout in Iran has surpassed the five-day mark - something we told you about at 18.52.
Iranians have today been able to make phone calls abroad for the first time in days, but the general public have remained cut off from the outside world.

"The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first attack on a boat that the Trump administration said was smuggling drugs, killing 11 … the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then attacking and killing them. That is a war crime." -new York times

Democrat mayor Frey: "Last week a group of our city's Public Works employees were stopped by ICE agents. 3 of the 4 employees were not white. The ICE agents asked to see the IDs of the 3 non-white employees and didn't even bother to ask the white employee for identification."
St Paul Mayor Kaohly Her: "I wasn't born here. I'm carrying my ID and passport card all the time because I don't know when I'm going to be detained, when I'm going to be approached."
Mayor Frey: "There are countless more people who are undocumented in Florida and Texas and Utah. Why are they in these much smaller cities in the middle of the Midwest? The answer is very clear: it's politics. Florida and Texas and Utah are Republican states. The reason that Minnesota and Minneapolis are being targeted is because you've got a Democratic governor, a Democratic attorney general, and Democratic mayors. We are doing everything possible to keep our cities safe through this unprecedented time."
Border patrol chief Bovino: "The situation has accelerated and I go back to Mayor Frey and Gov. Walz. They're not trying to tamp down violence or anything else. They're actually fomenting violence and ramping the violence up. They're supporting these people."

Leavitt: "Only oil tankers that are approved by the US will be flowing from Venezuela and we will continue to seize ships that are stateless or not approved by commerce by the US."
Leavitt says airstrikes on Iran are "on the table" for Trump

Karoline Leavitt denies that Trump directed DOJ officials to open an investigation into Jerome Powell, but says "the president has every right to criticize the Fed chair. He has a first amendment right just like you do."

>>2644078They can track your phone and hunt you down later when no ones looking.
>>2643933>>2643965Isn’t that broadly just the classical Marx line? That said I don’t see too much of a reason to push back on someone blaming all the world’s ills on capitalism.
That said, I think social liberals are in a weird and often contradictory space sociologically. If I had to describe it, it’s like they see themselves as equal heirs to a cultural legacy and traditions they don’t engage in and express a casual ownership over it that frustrates the conservatives in their respective society. To explain with a metaphor—it’d be like if two sons inherited their family home, the first left the house as soon as he could and spent years in therapy discussing his toxic family dynamic, the other stayed and took care of his parents. The parents die, both sons are given ownership of the house, and the one who left talks about getting rid of “clutter” and repainting and furnishing the place while the other wants to keep it as close to how it was while their parents lived as possible. The first sees it as an asset they could flip for money, the second sees it as “the family home” or what have you.
The root of most conservative “gotchas” is based around this supposed hypocrisy, for example, the impression that a liberal has no issue critiquing the reactionary tendencies of Christianity while being mum on the reactionary tendencies of Islam. To the liberal “Christianity” in the broad sense is part of their inheritance by being a white westerner, even if they’re an atheist and never go to church, it’s theirs to critique and deconstruct, whereas Islam is still foreign despite some notion of liberal universalism and so there’s unease at rebuking it as harshly.
In some ways the liberal becomes the ultimate outsider of their own culture—at least to conservatives—by being quick to critique traditions he won’t maintain, and passive when seeing those traditions abroad. Of course in reality the reverse happens just as much, with Laura Loomer seething over liberal Muslims like Mamdani and claiming he’s “betrayed Islam” by not hating gay people.

Homeland Security Terminates Somalia’s Temporary Protected Status Designation
WASHINGTON – Today, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the termination of Somalia’s designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The termination will be effective on March 17, 2026.
“Temporary means temporary. Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status,” said Secretary Noem. “Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests. We are putting Americans first.”
Somalia’s designation expires March 17, 2026. At least 60 days before a TPS designation expires, the Secretary of Homeland Security, after consultation with appropriate U.S. government agencies, must review the country to determine whether the conditions supporting its designation continue to be met and, if so, how long to extend the designation.
Somali nationals who do not have a legal status other than TPS that would allow them to remain in the United States should use the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s CBP Home mobile app to report their departure from the United States. The app is a safe, secure way to self-deport and includes a complimentary plane ticket, a $1,000 exit bonus, and the opportunity for potential future legal immigration.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/13/politics/memo-maduro-capture-olcGreenland's prime minister has said his people would choose Denmark over the US if they were asked to make such a choice "here and now".
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g3kw5ezepo>Joe Rogan Calls ICE Shooting Of Renee Good ‘Horrible’ In Latest Break With TrumpCalling Good’s death a “terrible tragedy,” Rogan said, “It’s very ugly to watch someone shoot a U.S. citizen, especially a woman, in the face.”
Rogan, speaking on an episode of his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” cast doubt on the Trump administration’s narrative that Good was trying to run the officer over when he shot her.
“When people say it’s justifiable because the car hit him? It seemed like she was turning the car away,” Rogan said.
He then went on to more broadly criticize the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, saying, “you don’t want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching people up—many of which turn out to actually be U.S. citizens that just don’t have their papers on them. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo, ‘where’s your papers?’ Is that what we’ve come to?”
Rogan, who interviewed President Donald Trump in the lead-up to the 2024 election then endorsed him, has broken with the president on several issues recently and has repeatedly criticized his anti-immigration crackdown.
Rogan has also blasted further military intervention in Venezuela as a “terrible idea” and has called Trump’s criticism of actor and director Rob Reiner in the wake of his death “crazy.”
Right-wing media personality Tucker Carlson criticized conservatives for a lack of sympathy toward Good, comparing their response to some left-wing reactions to Charlie Kirk’s killing. “Her death is a tragedy, regardless of her partisan affiliations, ideological beliefs, or who pulled the trigger. A woman got shot in the face,” Carlson wrote in his newsletter.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/01/ice-recruitment-minneapolis-shooting.htmlYou’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We’re all finding out.
Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."
>NYT just interviewed Brian O’Hara, the police chief of Minneapolis. He discusses how ICE isn’t fighting crime, but is in fact causing more problems in the community. An absolutely amazing excerpt here.
O’Hara: So we've just gotten a pretty dramatic increase in 911 calls from people in the community related to a lot of the street enforcement that's happening. And I mean, it's everything from people are being arrested, and their cars are left in the roadway, sometimes blocking the street. And at one case left when it wasn't even placed in park and was rolling down the road.
NYT: Wait, wait. So ICE officials are taking someone out of their car, arresting them, and their car is not even put in park.
O’Hara: We had that happen. We had another time where there was a dog in the car and they left the dog in the car.
NYT: Wow.
O’Hara: I mean, even this morning, we've gotten calls for individuals who were pepper sprayed by ICE. There's just a variety of calls for service that we then have to manage and triage that were not happening before.
Low standards, recruiting ideological extremists, and a mission to terrorize communities is a bad combination.

>I will never understand why conservatives fell in love with this man. They fell in love with him because he's an "outsider" and "not a politician" who "tells it like it is" and "isn't afraid of political correctness" who will "run the government like a business" and "build the wall" and "lock up the crooks." Americans conservatives specifcally have a very unique form of petty bourgeois consciousness where they see the government as a bigger threat than the private sector. So for them a billionaire entering government isn't "corruption" it's a "real job creator who knows what he's doing" entering the "lion's den" as an "outsider." They literally look at the height of regulatory capture, electing a CEO billionare as president, and see it as
anti-corruption even though they are replacing the corrupt politicians with the very people who they take bribes from. It's cutting out the middle man.

There are “hundreds and hundreds” of additional federal agents being deployed to Minneapolis as part of Operation Metro Surge, the immigration crackdown effort in the Twin Cities, US Customs and Border Protection Commander Gregory Bovino said.
Only people illegally in the US or undocumented immigrants with a criminal history – not US citizens or immigrants with legal status – “should probably be very scared” by the operations underway, said Bovino.
“We’re going to take care of the situation… We’re going to take those bad people and bad things off the streets,” Bovino told CNN affiliate WCCO.
“We’ll be here as long as it takes,” he added.
Bovino, who has also led targeted immigration enforcement operations in other Democratic-led cities, was already in Minneapolis last week with hundreds of agents, a federal law enforcement source told CNN.
When asked whether he feels the ICE agent was “justified” in fatally shooting Renee Good, Bovino said the agent was “in a very difficult, untenable situation and did what he had to do to ensure that his life was saved.”
State and local officials have repeatedly disputed claims that the shooting of the Minneapolis mother of three was done in self-defense.

>Clock ticks in Cuba as Trump cuts off Venezuelan oilHAVANA/HOUSTON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Cubans are bracing for impact after U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to cut off a lifeline of Venezuelan oil from reaching Cuba, setting up a siege scenario for an island already reeling from crippling blackouts and shortages.
Venezuela, once the island’s top supplier, has not sent crude or fuel to Cuba for about a month, according to shipping data and internal documents from state company PDVSA, with cargoes falling off due to a U.S. blockade even before the U.S. capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro in early January.
The last cargo for refining on the island was sent from PDVSA’s Jose port in mid-December onboard a tanker that sailed with its transponder off, carrying some 600,000 barrels of Venezuelan crude.
In 2025, Venezuela was Cuba’s largest oil supplier with 26,500 barrels per day (bpd), or roughly one third of the island’s daily needs, followed by Mexico with some 5,000 bpd, the data and documents showed.
“I just don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel for Cuba to survive the next few months facing zero deliveries of oil from Venezuela,” said Jorge Pinon, an energy researcher at the University of Texas at Austin.
“The situation is going to be catastrophic.”
Trump has made no secret of his expectation that the recent U.S. intervention in Venezuela could push Cuba over the edge, but in recent days he has doubled down on the communist-run island, pushing the neighboring nation on Sunday to strike a deal “before it is too late.”
The question of how long Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel and the country’s communist-run government can hold out in the face of vastly reduced oil imports is now top of mind for the island’s struggling residents, who already face daunting hurdles to find food, medicine and fuel.
“It’s very stressful because we don’t know what decision the Cuban government will make or what actions the United States government will take,” said 75-year-old former state worker Victor Romero, of Havana.
Diaz-Canel has made clear his government will stand firm against U.S. threats.
“Nobody tells us what to do,” he said Sunday after Trump vowed to shut off Venezuelan oil. “Cuba is…prepared to defend the homeland until the last drop of blood.”
Much of rural Cuba, in far-flung provinces with little economic output, already resembles a caricature of 19th-century life.
Horse-drawn carriages and bicycles provide transportation in many villages and even in urban areas. The internet falters often, if it works at all, and electricity is fleeting, with more hours without power than with it.
Deyanira Gonzalez, a 57-year-old housewife who lives in Havana’s countryside, already prepares her morning coffee and her children’s lunch over charcoal, she says, with electricity spotty and liquefied gas largely unavailable or too expensive.
“What will happen now? If Donald Trump doesn’t let fuel into Cuba we’ll be in the dark with our kids suffering,” she said.
Cuba’s capital Havana has not yet felt the impacts of the plummeting Venezuelan fuel cargoes, observations backed by Cuba’s daily generation deficit tallies.
Many city residents report that blackouts have subsided somewhat in early January amid decreased power demand since a peak in December, and gasoline and diesel service at the pump, while rationed in the peso currency, continues unabated.
FEW OPTIONS
There is no public information about how much oil Cuba may be holding in reserve. It is also unclear whether Cuba’s political allies would be willing to risk Trump’s ire to help bail out Cuba.
“We have not seen any support whatsoever from Cuba’s political allies, who are also exporters of oil, like Angola, Algeria, Brazil,” said energy expert Pinon.
“No one is coming to Cuba’s aid, with the exception of maybe Mexico, in limited amount, and also Russia, in limited amount.”
A tanker bound from Mexico, the Ocean Mariner, arrived in Havana on Friday, carrying some 85,000 barrels of fuel from the state company Pemex’s terminal of Pajaritos/Coatzacoalcos, according to a Reuters witness and ship tracking data.
But Mexico’s contribution, albeit a fraction of Venezuela’s former exports, is far from enough to keep the lights on across the island of around 10 million inhabitants, a concern not lost on many Cubans.
“It’s the uncertainty of not knowing what’s going to happen,” said Ivet Rodriguez, a 39-year-old entrepreneur in Havana. “I try not to even think about it.”

Trump nominates a company chief and Republican donor, David MacNeil, to the F.T.C.

President Trump on Tuesday nominated David MacNeil, a Republican political donor who founded and leads a company that makes automotive accessories, to an open seat on the Federal Trade Commission.
Mr. MacNeil is the chief executive of WeatherTech, an Illinois company that manufacturers floor mats for cars and homes, as well as other products like bowls for dogs and cats. He has backed Mr. Trump and donated extensively to Republican candidates for office.
Mr. MacNeil has lauded the value of domestic manufacturing. The F.T.C., which enforces consumer protection laws and blocks corporate deals that could damage competition, also cracks down on companies that falsely claim to make their goods in the United States.
“Being deceptive and saying its made in America, when it’s not, is not fair,” Mr. MacNeil told CBS News in July. “And so people should just tell the truth.”
Mr. MacNeil’s nomination follows Mr. Trump’s efforts to remake the F.T.C., a traditionally independent agency. The F.T.C. typically has five governing members, with three appointed from the president’s party.
Mr. Trump fired the commission’s two Democratic members last year, a move that challenged longstanding legal protections that prevent commissioners from losing their jobs over policy disagreements with the White House. The Supreme Court is now considering whether the president had the legal right to fire one of those commissioners, Rebecca Kelly Slaughter.
The White House announced Mr. MacNeil's nomination on Tuesday, and it was confirmed in a congratulatory post on social media by Andrew Ferguson, the F.T.C.’s chair. If confirmed, Mr. MacNeil would take the seat vacated by the former Republican commissioner Melissa Holyoak, who left the agency in November.

The interim Venezuelan government has freed at least four Americans who were imprisoned in Venezuela, a source familiar with the matter told CNN on Tuesday.
It marks the first known release of American detainees since the ouster of Nicolás Maduro and comes as the interim Venezuelan government, led by Delcy Rodríguez, has begun freeing dozens of political prisoners.
CNN previously reported that at least five Americans had been detained in Venezuela in recent months. The Maduro government had a long history of detaining Americans to be used for political leverage with the US government.

The President had nothing but good things to say about his wife’s upcoming documentary, titled Melania. He told reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday, Jan. 11, that he was impressed.
“I’ve seen pieces of it, it’s incredible,” he said. “I think it’s going to do very– you know, she did a book and the book was a big number one bestseller, and this is a movie, and it seems to be captivating a lot of people’s attention.”
The documentary will have a premiere night on January 29th at the recently renamed Trump-Kennedy Center, and is set for theatrical release on January 30. According to Amazon MGM Studios, the film gives “unprecedented access to the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration — through the eyes of the first lady-elect herself,” with “exclusive footage of critical meetings, private conversations, and never-before-seen environments.”

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/01/ice-recruitment-minneapolis-shooting.html#A liberal journalist who seems to be sympathetic towards antifa applied to join ICE. She fails to complete the required paperwork, drug test, or attest that she wasn’t a domestic abuser, and they still offered her a job. She logs on to the government website and finds that it says she actually completely all the steps.
“To be clear, I barely applied to ICE. I skipped the steps of the application process that would have clued the agency in on my lack of fitness for the position. I made no effort to hide my public loathing of the agency, what it stands for, and the administration that runs it. And they offered me the job anyway.”
This is the level of vetting we’re getting. They’re literally taking anyone. Criminals, racists, even antifa! No wonder they’re terrorizing communities

>>2644142You should study Lenin. Lenin said all labor aristocrats are imperialists and all it takes to bribe these imperialist labor aristocrats is a little credit for treats to the upper stratum of labor aristocracy only. The imperialists think imperialism is "neofeudalism" because their spotify isnt free and they afford themselves hamburger payment plan. The proponents of false Varoufakis theory equivocate the imperialist who pays for treat mortgages and treat subscriptions with a peasant paying rent to landlord. They're wrong on every level and their lies only serve imperialism by economic confusion of even basic category of rent. This "talking points" of the transformation of super-profits into treats, as well as the correction of the imperialists' myth that their treat payment plans and subscription are exploitation of themselves and not the third-world, are correct and must be upheld against imperialist revisionism. The imperialists easily adopt false Varoufakis theory and pretend they are exploited because they buy hamburgers on credit because they speculate that their future imperialist dividend will grow, allowing them to borrow against hamburgers and come out ahead. The treat payment plan is not rent extraction, but an extension of credit by imperialist dividend to the labor aristocrat over future imperialist super-profits to finance and precipitate both future extraction and current consumption of super-profits. A peasant's ground rent is nothing similar to labor aristocrat imperialist treat dividend credit. That is why Varoufakis is wrong.

>Don't tell me he STILL likes Trump after his own daughter was gunned down?>If that's the case holy fuck what a disgusting psychopath."Doubling down" in the context of When Prophecy Fails refers to the phenomenon where people continue to believe in a failed prophecy, often becoming more committed to their belief even after it has been proven wrong. This concept is explored in a classic social psychology study by Leon Festinger and colleagues.
The study was based on a religious group that believed the world would end on a specific date. When the prophecy failed, instead of abandoning their beliefs, many members became more fervent, spreading the word that their faith had actually "saved the world" or that the failure was part of a bigger plan. This is an example of cognitive dissonance, the discomfort of holding contradictory beliefs (the prophecy failed vs. I believed it) leads individuals to justify or strengthen their original beliefs rather than letting go of them.
Doubling down is a way to reduce the discomfort and maintain consistency in one's worldview. It highlights how people can become more entrenched in their beliefs when confronted with evidence that contradicts them.

>U.S., Regional Partners Open New Air Defense Operations Cell in QatarTAMPA, Fla. - U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and regional partners opened a new coordination cell at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar to enhance integrated air and missile defense, Jan. 12.
The new Middle Eastern Air Defense – Combined Defense Operations Cell (MEAD-CDOC) is located in the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) and comprised of personnel from the United States and regional partners.
The Qatar-based CAOC, established more than 20 years ago, currently includes representatives from 17 nations who coordinate the employment of military air assets across the Middle East region. The new MEAD-CDOC within the CAOC is designed to enhance coordination and integration for air and missile defense efforts among regional partners.
“This is a significant step forward in strengthening regional defense cooperation,” said Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM. “This cell will improve how regional forces coordinate and share air and missile defense responsibilities across the Middle East.”
U.S. Air Force Central (AFCENT) service members will work alongside regional counterparts at the MEAD-CDOC in planning multinational exercises, conducting drills, and responding to contingencies. The cell will also be responsible for sharing information and threat warnings.
“The MEAD-CDOC creates a consistent venue to share expertise and collectively create new solutions together with our regional partners,” said Lt. Gen Derek France, AFCENT commander. “This strengthens our integrated air and missile defense throughout the region.”
The opening of MEAD-CDOC follows the opening of two bilateral Combined Command Posts for air and missile defense by U.S. Army Central with Qatar and Bahrain last year. The new facilities serve as hubs for integrated air defense planning, coordination, and operations.

We've seen this exact phenomenon in Russia after the illegal dissolution of the USSR
Honestly so what, the biggest issue of the US is that it's 1. deliberately stamping down socialism and 2. massively, massively capable of doing so on a planetary scale. Nobody who claims the US after it collapses and "fills the gap" are ever going to have the same scale and refinement of organization that the US has now. The mass of military bases and glowop networks are going to be thrown into disarray when the home base is collapsing, and from that socialists worldwide will be galvanized.

>Xinjiang whistleblower faces deportation to China — lawyerHeng Guan, a Chinese national who documented a network of detention facilities in China's northwestern Xinjiang province, has spent months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody as the Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) attempted to deport him.
Guan's second court hearing is set for Monday after a DHS prosecutor asked a court in December to deport him to Uganda under a third-country migrant deal.
That request was later withdrawn amid concerns raised in Washington, D.C., but ICE continued to push for Guan's deportation to China, according to his attorney, Chuangchuang Chen.
"I would jump off the plane if deported," Guan told DW in an exclusive interview from an ICE detention facility. "I would rather die than face imprisonment in China."
The 38-year-old amateur photographer from China's central Henan province entered the United States in 2021 by boat from Freeport in The Bahamas after producing a 20-minute vlog from Xinjiang, accusing the Chinese government of mass incarceration of Muslim Uyghurs.
Guan said he would face imprisonment if returned to China.
"I'm not disappointed with the US," he said, yet he believed remaining in America was his only protection against any retribution from Beijing.
Chen told DW that he did not expect the judge to issue a ruling on Monday "unless the authority dropped the case."

>>2644582>after the illegal dissolution of the USSRThat's cope, the USSR dissolved as legally as possible, the states had the right to secede and the soviet people overwhelmingly voted to do so despite the CPSU and KGB attempts to save it.
Tankies will never face how their political project structurally failed and prefer a simple backstabbing theory. Meanwhile the US now is much more stable and resilient than the USSR was.
>>2644595>Tankies will never face how their political project structurally failed MLs have written entire books about the structural problems that destroyed the USSR. That doesn't change the fact that it was objectively the most successful attempt at socialist construction in history and its not even close.
>>2644595>the USSR dissolved as legally as possibleno. All-Union Congress of People's Deputies was the only body to authorize the move, because the USSR was crated under that body. only three out the 11 republics signed the agreement, Belarus (reluctantly as later on was told by Lukashenko), Ukraine, and Russia. each republic's parliaments didn't have their constitutional authority to dissolve the Union, because the Soviet constitution did not grant republics the right to secede unilaterally. that's why the Soviets tried to prevent the dissolution in the 'August coup', because it was beyond the powers of each institution to dissolve, and it balkanized effectively the Union.
>secede and the soviet people overwhelmingly voted to do soalso no. the first referendum held framed the question in the worst possible way:
>Do you consider it necessary to preserve the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics>as a renewed federation of equal sovereign republicsand its purpose was violated. the USSR wasn't 'preserved'.
>>2644595>the soviet people overwhelmingly voted to do source?
>>2644595>Meanwhile the US now is much more stable and resilient than the USSR was.Unironically it's because the USSR wasn't as ruthless as the US. Soviets tired to preserve local nations instead of crushing them like the USA did to the Blacks in the 60s and 70s.
In fact that's a problem with Maoist analysis of America being a "prison of nations." Now Foundational Black Americans will rightfully point out they are more American than African. The American model of nation building was more successful than the Soviets.
>>2644615he's probably referencing a later referendum held on December 1991, in Ukraine.
the first should have had the final validity:
>>2644613, and was violated with such a dumb wording. even
if so the 'Union' wasn't preserved. there's no ''Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" as in "preserved". but that put in motion the excuse for the yeltsinites to dissolve it anyway.
who invoked the 17 March 1991 vote? the 4th All-Union Congress of People's Deputies, on 24 of December of 1990. so the poor wording can be blamed on gorby. why was invoked? because already some republics were already declaring that their national parliaments had legal supremacy over the USSR. and yet
the people who voted declared that they wanted to preserve the Union. all the nations that tried to declare primacy over the All-Union Congress of People's Deputies had their political class clamped down, crushed: Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. it was yeltsin, who, arriving to power with the discourse of 'these nations are sucking up our resources, Russia could be greater without them' divided, he unilaterally break up the union in June 12 of 1990. and signed off the breaking of the Union one year later.
Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan says she has learned that federal prosecutors are investigating her after she took part in a video urging military service members to resist illegal orders.
Ms. Slotkin, a Democrat, said in an interview on Monday that she found out about the inquiry from the office of Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia and a longtime ally of President Trump’s. In an email sent to the Senate’s sergeant-at-arms, Ms. Pirro’s office requested an interview with the senator or her private counsel

A United Auto Workers union member who was involved in a heated exchange with President Trump on Tuesday in Michigan has been suspended by Ford, a UAW representative confirmed to CBS News Detroit.
A video shared by TMZ appeared to have been taken when Mr. Trump was at the Rouge Center in Dearborn, showing the president reacting to a heckler who yelled something toward him. Mr. Trump then appeared to point and mouth "f*** you," showing his middle finger.
CBS News Detroit also reached out to Ford Motor Company, to which spokesperson David Tovar said, "We had a great event today and we're proud of how our employees represented Ford. We've seen the clip you're referring to. One of our core values is respect and we don't condone anyone saying anything inappropriate like that within our facilities. When that happens, we have a process to deal with it but we don't get into specific personnel matters."

Let me make your argument sharper: the shift to service and rentierism has nothing to do with feudalism because feudalism is an agrarian based economy that relied on kinship labour and rituals that stressed permanence and repetition.
This is not the case under so called neo-feudalism, where wage labour reigns supreme, people are encouraged to consume and legitimacy of the system is validated by ever changing fetishistic quantitative powers (see GDP, autism score, or QoL indicators), which is characteristic of capitalism. What Varoufakis missed is that the transition to service based economy has little to do with capitalism mutating and rather with ORGANIC COMPOSITION OF CAPITAL shifting AGAINST labour, which means that manufacturing jobs and the associated tendencies are disappearing. This carries huge implication AGAINST the Left, because without a steady manufacturing field, you can't 1). Expect a solid block of proles under organized labour to emerge 2). It became much harder for anti imperialist countries to advance themselves, because industrialization no longer absorbs labour. These are massive blows against both the workerist faction of the left and the anti imperialist factions
>>2644212confirmed he got fired
>>2644741so the "ai bad" guys were right and the "ai will lead to communism" guys were wrong? shocker
>>2644745The "AI is bad but inevitable" guys are right. If you try to ban AI you will just be annihilated by countries that embraced AI, much like how feudal countries were absolutely steamrolled and colonized in some cases by countries that embraced Capitalism.
>>2644751>>2644752you two are forgetting the other outcome. Entropy.
Ai bros fail to realize that things cant keep going up. Eventually entropy will happen and cause things to go down. One can become 10 but can also go back to zero.
Once you account entropy and law of thermodynamics then you realize this ai dystopia is not the end goal of humanity. Its instead going to be collapse. (climate change is a product of entropy)
I believe in the most oppressed group in this world, who have it unfathomably hard – the proletariat of the imperial core; the children of Frederick Douglas and Earl Browder.
They will establish socialism anyday now.
>>2644757Entropy wont kill the universe for trillions of years. It's possible we figure out how to stop it by then.
>>2644772Absolute heresy and gigastupid to boot.
>>2644751> If you try to ban AI you will just be annihilated by countries that embraced AIAI will be super commoditized in the future. China is literally leading AI development, Gemini couldn't exist without deepseek's MoE, so every western AI product has been, for the last 2 years, downstream from chinese research. At some point ASICs or analog hardware will take the lead and these things will be stupid cheap to execute, and the west will have no significant advantage over the third world, in fact, it is at a severe disadvantage because it needs to recobble its industrial base before automatizing it.

Comrades in the imperialist core, face the dialectic head on: Islamic theocracy is Marxism-Lenin's supreme synthesis for peripheral revolutions. The Quran's iron discipline reforges the proletariat into an anti-Yankee hammer no secular dogma can match. Marx revealed religion as "the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, the soul of soulless conditions, the opium of the people." It anesthetizes sanction-torn masses while fueling class war against capital's carnage. Iran's Republic proves it. Gasht-e Ershad patrols crush hijab lapses and moral rot, barricading Hollywood porn, ripped-jeans bait, neoliberal family-shredders priming CIA colors. Mahsa Amini riots were Zionist-CIA knives exploiting Quranic slack. Western rights venom splintered ranks as Gaza bled.
Engels tied patriarchy to property. Iran's theocracy annihilates it, hardening ummah fortresses against empire's zombies.The Manifesto commands: "Proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win." Flood streets with Quranic enforcement. Morality police as ML vanguard. Supreme Leader as Lenin's centralism. U.S. leftists, your secularism is death. Iran's Islam is evolved Leninism. Burqas hurl back colonial nudity. Patrols quarantine capital's brothel. Moral slip invites Soros hordes. Clamp down with theocratic fury. Global South inferno consumes imperialism. Islamic proletarian dictatorship or bust. Total victory awaits.
>>2644772You dont need to believe in AGI to realize just how useful AI can be to capitalism. You can fire 90% of your accounting department and replace them with AI. You can fire most of your legal retainer and use AI lawyers instead. You can use AI codes instead of having to hire thousands of Compsci grads and stuffing them in a basement slash cubicle farms. Hell in a macroeconomic setting you can fire all teachers and replace them with AI teacher. And have i told you about AI cops? What about AI IRS agents?
All of this can be done right now, right here. Even without all the pipedreams spouted off by Accelerationists AI as it is today is enough to permanently cripple labour
>>2644783Marx tried to warn us
>the improvement of the soil in accordance with a general plan >>2644672it was such a "former supporter" coded thing for that guy to say. libs would just call him a pedophile. But the Massie/MGT crowd is doing this balancing act where they say he's a "pedophile protector" and they act like it's a big mystery why he's doing it.
>>2644792I sympathize with this position, we do need a civilizational revitalization, albeit i sympathize more with the Iranian nationalists than the Shia Velayetists who had never been an organic force in Iranian history to begin with. Alas, this fundamentally ignores the reality that the Iranian economy is shit and they are trapped in what is basically the Yugoslavian economy of the 1980s, and that is bound to burst sooner or later
>>2644796that makes sense, given the report that describes that the guy "has supported" rethugs…
>>2644669 >>2644794>You can fire 90% of your accounting department and replace them with AI. No you can't lmao, maybe you can fire your compsci grads, you know, for a bit, until you need masses of people to understand what's effectively instant legacy code that keeps breaking
>>2644802this. AI is a total grift. I work at an engineering firm where the upper managers thought it was going to replace everyone and it only replaced the most basic data entry lol. It actually made everyone else's job harder and require longer hours to quality control the AI's output.
>>2644783Doubt global warming will wipe out all humans. Even at it's worst projections there still will be millions left. And if we get put back to preagriculture level tech they still would have a billion years to get off planet to escape the sun's expansion. We've only been in existence 300,000 years and got to the moon already. Starting from scratch, I bet we will have space colonies within a million years or so.
>>2644741>so called neo-feudalism, where wage labour reigns supreme, people are encouraged to consumeencouraging people to consume non-essential commodities basically requires the reproduction of a labor aristocracy who makes disposable income. If the proletariat all makes subsistence wages, they'll spend it all on food, water, rent, utilities, and not be able to CONSOOM
>>2644804I don't think it's a total grift, I think it's useful as a tool, but it's vastly overstated because it's the last frontier to monopolize. But the west is shooting itself in the foot by putting literally all its eggs into this basket, unlike China who has is more forward thinking and modest with its expectations. At some point it will be incredibly commoditized, to the point where normal-ass people will be running trillion parameter models on their own hardware.
>>2644797I had ai write that
>>2644716I thought Mullin was a registered Cherokee Nation member like the gov. is supposed to be? When are they going to investigate the missing members at home or how about the Oglala who were just kidnapped by ice?
>>2644723Ok nevermind, he just wants to kill for the thrill of the strikes I guess. I'm too confused about all of this. Up is down and I'm out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_6IjeprfEs >>2644805>if we get put back to preagriculture level even if all but a few million humans die we aren't going to forget tech so easily. a mass death event isn't a portal backwards in time. You go backward developmentally, but you don't go backwards to a specific "point in the past" rather you move forward to a new situation which is deeply unpleasant but which nevertheless retains some of the progress that has already been made. Even if we lost the means of production and specialization to make a lot of things, we would still have ruins to explore and learn from, and texts we can reference. This is why people for a long time found post apocalyptic fiction so interesting… because it forces us to grapple, in advance, with the question of how to rebuild a new society from the ruins of the old. There is nothing to suggest we would forget how to read, write, do math, grow food, etc even if 90% of us died off.
>>2644794>You can fire 90% of your accounting department and replace them with AIimaging believing that Amazon companies and their similar ilk will hire AI to do creative accounting, when averaging words can't work with specific, on-point, loopholes and legal devices are needed to exploit the taxation laws.
>>2644807> don't think it's a total grift, I think it's useful as a tool, but it's vastly overstated because it's the last frontier to monopolize. But the west is shooting itself in the foot by putting literally all its eggs into this basket,and so many of the startups are objectively grifts who make big promises, or just slop with no real function. like i said my job replaced people with it, but it was only the least educated people. basically people without college degrees or job experienec. i saw a lot of smugness on here that "PMCs are gonna lose their jobs hahahaha!" but really only the most vulnerable entry level people got hurt… AS USUAL… further entrenching the specialists, who btw will probably not get replaced by juniors due to their would-be-proteges studying AI instead of traditional programming… A lot of legacy systems in banking run on COBOL still for example and the handful of aging specialists who know that make the big bucks.
>>2644806Anon this is actually retarded. Why do you think slavery is necessary for the rise of capitalism? Because without slavery you cannot produce treats and consoomer goods, and consoomer goods, like you know clothes or sugar, is necessary to sustain millions of people living in cities since they cant forage from the countryside and spent time making it themselves like under feudalism and the previous economic systems
I think you people are so fucked in the head you think consumer goods = marvel vidya sex goon material onlyfans. No, consumer goods is whatever is necessary to sustain the specialized lifestyle urbanized proles and the complex division of labour under capitalism. Your phone is consumer good. Your toilet papers too. Your bicycles, your refrigerators, your light bulbs, your antibiotics. You buy all these things from shart mart instead of making it yourself or obtaining it from a community-owned field, that is consumer good. That is your absorption to the money economy
>>2644815i'm talking about luxury commodities, commodities not necessary for survival. yes i'm aware you need a cell phone to even get a job in the imperial core. thanks for the reminder "gay dugin"

>>2644818>>2644811You're right. My point is being doomer about global warming destroying everything is going too far, even if billions die and we somehow started from nothing.
And the sun's expansion or the heat death of the universe are so far off there is a very good chance we survive both even if we somehow did get reset from the same position as 300,000 years ago.
>>2644824I actually don't think, for what it's worth, 90% of us will die, but I was describing how even if we did we wouldn't go back to pre-agriculture. I forget if it's Mao, but like he said, just because the tide recedes, doesn't mean the coast is the same. new things wash up on shore, things get eroded.
>>2644669>Suspended from work>UAW does nothingOrganize bros, I don't feel so good…
>>2645399i didn't use the word consumerism in that post
>>2644010ya know once you type it out like that I can understand why all this talk of technofeudalism is in vogue even if this just a particular model of neoliberalism. The one silverlining with the reactoid gun hoarders is a lot of them forgot to hoard the supplies necessary for food and water or actually learn much of anything about bushcraft or survivalism past gun ownership. the anti-silver lining of that is if shit hits the fan these people will probably just murderhobo with the police.
>>2644400I spent nearly a year being homeless. Go sell you fucking blood and stop internet begging. Might be good for you to go outside for a while, get some context to life.
