🗽 UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

>Thread for the hellish discussion related to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™

<Copypasting the past OP edition


The American question is: how does a settler-imperialist nation transform itself into a decolonized socialist commonwealth without either reproducing the imperial form or fragmenting into balkanized enclaves that allow capital to reconstitute, while resolving the contradictions of internal colonization and liberating its external colonies, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?

Now that I think about it, Its kind of funny how Jews are also exempt from electoral bashing.

If any other demographic votes for horrible Republicans the Dem aligned media goes full r/leopardsatemyface for months on end. Nonstop blaming and shaming and told-you-so. Latinos, blacks, natives? Scum of the earth for voting Republican. Look at them getting their comeuppance! Hah!

But Jews? No of course, they are the chosen people. If they didn't vote Democrat or "Progressive" they were failed by those. You can't blame a Jew for siding with the most Zionist ghoul in the room! That's basic self interest! It's an holocaust out there!

Unless Zionism is mentioned as a bad thing, then it's antisemitic to imply a Jew gets any benefits from Zionism. Shame Shame.

You guys should keep an eye on the Brazilian election in October, the US views Brazil as the final prize after conquering nearly all of South America and they will certainly try to pull some shit to favor Bolsonaro’s son over Lula.

<Dear Marie,
<If I have really got to write to you I must tell you in advance that it will not come to much, for nothing ever happens here. Weddings, parties, why yes, I go to them, I eat and drink, but afterwards I find it impossible to write a lot of tittle-tattle about them. And anyway you are not used to that kind of thing from me. I now sit in my little room upstairs nearly all day long, read and smoke like a chimney-stack, fence until the swords nearly crack, and amuse myself as best I can. This disgracefully bad weather is nearly driving me to desperation, you can’t go to Elberfeld without the risk of getting soaked three times over.
<Unfortunately there’s only one halt between here and Elberfeld where one can stop if it gets too bad, namely, the Bierkirche. And you have to pay two silver groschen for a glass of beer there. Apart from this, nothing moves forward here, only backwards. I have not heard anything more about my departure for Berlin — there’s still plenty of time. I don’t bother about anything and let the others worry. If you want more letters from me, let’s hear from you, and write me something nice.

Apocalypse prep or pure pragmatism: what is behind Peter Thiel’s move to Argentina?
<Relocation coincides with proposed laws that opponents say would entrench power of US tech billionaires in country
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/sep/03/peter-thiel-argentina-javier-milei

>Dozens of protesters converged on Peter Thiel’s mansion in Buenos Aires this week after a congressional session raised questions about the billionaire’s presence in the country.

>In white masks, they held signs saying “Peter Thief” and “No to the Peter Thiel law” in front of the wrought-iron gates of the $12m (£8.9m) residence, which Thiel bought in April as he moved his family to Argentina.

>There is broad unease at the tech magnate’s presence in the country. His move has been characterised as part of a plan to hedge against world war three: Argentina, agriculturally rich and deep in the southern hemisphere, might just be the ideal place for a tech billionaire to wait out the apocalypse.

>But recent developments in the country suggest Thiel could have more pragmatic considerations.

>Last week, Argentina’s chamber of deputies held a six-hour debate on a set of sweeping regulatory changes put forward by Javier Milei’s rightwing government shortly after Thiel moved to Buenos Aires. They invited Thiel, Milei and an official linked to Argentina’s intelligence services to answer questions.

>“None of them answered, and none of them came to the meeting,” said Juan Marino, a member of the chamber of deputies and the leader of the Piquetero party.

>Marino said the new laws amounted to a “technofascist legislative package” aimed at entrenching the power of US tech billionaires in the country. Thiel has not publicly advocated for them, but Marino and others have said that their timing was suggestive.

>The meeting in the chamber of deputies came after Argentinian deputies from several parties made public requests to the government for information about Thiel, his meetings and his businesses. None have been answered.

>One of the laws, the “super RIGI”, would put in place an investment regime offering foreign companies a minimal tax rate and a 30-year guarantee against regulatory change. It specifically names AI datacentres among investments it hopes to attract.

>Another, which failed, aimed to eliminate most of the restrictions around foreigners buying land in Argentina. A final decree would require some civilian government departments to share vast amounts of personal data on Argentinian citizens with the state intelligence services.

>There is no evidence that Thiel has advocated for these laws directly. But in the months after he moved to Buenos Aires, he held closed-door meetings with Milei and key presidential advisers. It is uncommon for a foreign investor to have this degree of access.

>In the regulatory package, Marino and others see the footprint of Thiel’s larger techno-libertarian interests.

>The decree that gives vast amounts of Argentinians’ personal data to state intelligence services comes as Argentinian deputies have asked increasingly pointed questions about whether Palantir, the company Thiel co-founded, has undisclosed contracts with the state, which have gone unanswered.

>The land law, said Marino, could have paved the way for semi-autonomous “startup cities” – such as the controversial Próspera development in Honduras – that Thiel has advocated as a way for libertarians to carve out zones outside state control.

>Argentina is kind of a laboratory,” said Cecilia Nicolini, who represents Argentina at the Mercosur regional parliament. US tech billionaires, she said, “are using Argentina as a laboratory, because they have a person in power, Milei, who is even more crazy than they are”.

>Over the summer Milei wrote an article in the Financial Times advocating the creation of “non-human corporations” – “entities operated by AI agents or robots”.

>It parallels a vision put forward by OpenAI’s chief executive, Sam Altman, who predicted in 2024 that the world could soon be run by AI-owned companies. It also raises dark, thorny questions about the legal liabilities of those entities.

>Nicolini said: “It’s not just that [Thiel] chose Argentina in terms of, it’s a secure place to live in a world that is facing a number of wars, etcetera.

>“But really, behind it, I think there is a clear plan. And it is related to reforms that Milei is trying to pass, with some success in some cases, and in others, backlash.”

>Thiel was approached for comment.

Why are US cabinet members not elected by the population?

is anyone else seeing this??

>>2906398
I don't think any government works that way.

>>2906404
In Canada the prime minister appoints the cabinet, but he chooses members of parliament which are elected by the population

>>2906406
in Canada owning land is a requirement to run for the Senate. Their system is absolute buns

>>2906410
Is Canadia the Roman empire?

>>2906410
The Canadian senate is appointed not elected, and they basically don't do anything. Technically they have the power to vote down, pass, and propose bills but because they aren't elected they pretty much just act as a rubber stamp. Half the time they don't even show up.

>>2906418
>The Canadian senate is appointed not elected
its even worse than i thought

>>2906424
You'd think so but like I said they're effectively a rubber stamp for the House of Commons.

>>2906425
characterize it however you like, its straight up less democratic and an inferior system. if the senate is canada is worthless, take a page out of new zealands book and make the whole thing unicameral. Australia has elected senators, canada is just uniquely backwards for some reason

>>2906432
I'm not defending it I'm just pointing out that they're irrelevant in practical terms. I agree our system is archaic and in desperate need of an upgrade.

>>2906451
We're in the I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream timeline

>>2906449
Well, the public mood is very much one of defiance and nationalism. The universal opinion is that the Americans are trying to bully us and that we shouldn't concede. If anything people want more dramatic measures implemented like closing off some of the Great Lakes canals to American shipping. Carney himself is a pretty level headed and capable leader (as far as bourgeois politicians go), but his orientation is definitely one of a partisan of the Western bloc, NATO, "rules based international order" etc. As such I don't think he's keen to sour relations with the US more than necessary, but I also don't think he's willing to let us be pushed around on this issue. Also for what it's worth, the fact that he's successfully been able to sell himself as standing up to the US has made him very popular. His political future depends on maintaining that reputation. Additionally, some kf the recent American demands were total non-starters, mainly anything that fucks with the French language. So I don't think he'll concede. He has a lot more to lose from doing so, and people are aware by this point that the US is responsible for any economic fallout.
