Yeah. That’s not a decision we have to worry about. They’ll side with fascism. There is no question here.

I love how the liberals dreams of “revenge” are of not allowing others to be oppressed by some fucked up law.

I mean. I get it. Don’t get me wrong. But if the dream of liberals in power is just “things aren’t getting much worse for awhile” I really think we need to reprioritize.

My idea of left seizing power and being “authoritarian” is enacting universal healthcare, high speed rail, billionaires in jail, ending garbage AI waste, and much more material actions.

If our idea is just to “stick it” to some racist people in Texas I think we need to rethink that plan. I want those racist people in Texas to have all of the things above too. I want the material conditions to improve for everyone because I know that that is what helps to end these manufactured divisions of race, gender, or religion.

Our goals can’t be to just play whackamole with fucked up laws in red states.

The difference between killing and oppressing innocent people in a foreign country and innocent people in America is only “huge” if you don’t see the former group of people as human beings.

Damn. Sounds exactly like a way to boost small businesses profits as they steal taxes they won’t pay. This type of policy can’t be left to the businesses and a phone line. Just saying. It needs to be collected by the state imo. Placed into state Medicaid, Medicare, or a new universal healthcare plan for California.

Newsom is the King of awful neoliberalism. If the tech oligarchs demand fascism we’ll get fascism in California too. You’re not wrong. But Musk has proven himself to be a useless child. That’s not how things would go. The ruling class isn’t that stupid. That’s why Trump kicked him out. Use him as tool? Absolutely. But Musk is basically political poison. But then again, the Democrats have been so incompetent they might actually try to work with him publicly.

Dude. I bet they have a retirement pension. I bet they get paid sick leave and time off when their child is born. Fucking elite assholes. Unions are the real parasites on the working class.

Do they not think about the rights of the Israeli working class? It’s an Israelis right to wake up every morning and know that at least 10 children in Gaza were killed while they slept. Palestinian babies are the real elites actually.

Most people in the west you mean. Most people in the world are very much against Israel and it’s genocide. I think we forget this.

If you live in the west you can feel alone in caring about the suffering. You just feel alone in the west.

We’ve hit the point where people are only trying to save their own asses from any type of future justice. Justice that will hopefully come before they are all dead.

It is a positive shift. Don’t get me wrong. But what we are seeing right now has not done anything yet to improve the material conditions of the people of Gaza or Palestine as a whole.

These western leaders and scholars are trying to form a narrative that can be looked back at as “the point” in which they stood up against the genocide. But (1) that point was 19 months ago and (2) they aren’t actually doing anything to stop the genocide.

We cannot let history see them in a good light. These leaders and scholars have known exactly what has been happening for the last 19 months. You can’t spend 19 months denying the acts of genocide and only finally come to the conclusion once Gaza is reduced to ruins and it’s entire population is starving. That not what genocide scholars are meant to tell us. They aren’t meant to tell as after the fact. They are meant to learn from history and call out these things long before it is allowed to reach this point.

And many of them did. But if you’re a “genocide scholar” and you’re only now coming to the conclusion that this is genocide. 19 months after real scholars correctly pointed to it. You are not a scholar. You are a glorified record keeper.

My friend from Korea once said “I think most American men’s entire personality is built around trying to prove to everyone they’re not gay”. Pretty much sums it up.

This reminded me to hit my bidet button and stop browsing. Enjoying the ass blast as I type this.

That’s only true if it’s more profitable. Companies sell plenty of shit to Americans that is banned in other markets. We’re basically a dumping ground for a lot of cheap “has been linked to cancer” products.

Shrooms often “enhance” your mind. They don’t necessarily make you more open minded. If you were already an open minded person they will likely enhance that. If you were a right wing Nazi they’re most likely going to enhance that too.

People act like drugs are some mind opening experience. And to an extent they are. But, they don’t reveal something to you like a message from God. They allow your mind to be revealed without restrictions. To learn things about your mind that it was hiding.

This can be a positive or negative experience depending on who you are.

Yeah. If he just stayed with pot I think we’d be better off. Whatever other cocktail he is on is really not helping anyone. But I think if he drops it he’s going to do something insane with the withdrawals.

Yeah. Famously no other universities have been targeted. We definitely don’t have a green card holding student rotting in a cell for months at this point. With not a single charge of a crime against him.

Yeah. I’m sure this rich queen is the only victim. And Harvard has definitely been the only school targeted /s

Do you think this policy is only going to be unique to Harvard? Your comment is ironic because it’s upvoted by the same people disagreeing with me that don’t care about a royal. But can’t see the the the bigger picture of who this hurts.

The entire criticism I have is that it shouldn’t take a royal for people to care and it’s absolutely silly to write an article around it. It makes the absolutely wrong point about who is harmed by this. It’s literally pro Trump. Use to trick his base into thinking the “elite” are the ones that will be hurt. They won’t. They will at most be inconvenienced.

But you somehow miss BOTH points. Somehow not getting my point of criticism of the article AND missing the larger picture of who these xenophobic policies will hurt the most.

It’s starts here. At the easiest place for American working class to say “yep, fuck the Queen”. And solidifies xenophobic policies into law. All while idiot liberals clutch their pearls as “the poor queen”.

/woosh

The criticism is that the media coverage here is around some slight inconvenience to a royal. Thanks for pointing to the thing the article entirely misses and using that to point to misunderstand my criticism.

Your points are speaking to a Trump voter that would never even care about those things because they would never actually apply to them. They live in a contradiction that doesn’t apply to what you’re saying.

You literally replied with talking points that only benefit rich well off bourgeoisie. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make or who you’re trying to convince. Because this definitely doesn’t appeal to the me (looking at this from a class perspective) or the idiot Trump voter (looking at this from a “fuck the elite” perspective).

The later of which is just, on average, an uneducated working class idiot that thinks we live in a meritocracy but blames the “elite” for their position in it. They lack class analysis to actually understand where to direct that anger. But Harvard and “Queens” are the definition of that elite to them.

Who is this article supposed to appeal to? That’s my question. This is just garbage puff that distracts from the real problems with Trump’s policies.

It only appeals to well off petty bourgeois Liberals that have nothing better to care about than some “royal” being effected by a policy that they are only, at best, collateral damage to.

Hey. If you kill enough people in your family any princess can be a “future queen”. You gotta think positive.

I can respect that

There’s a lot of libs that run off of identity politics here and are completely delusional in thinking that this somehow will connect with Trump voters since she’s white.

What lack of material analysis does to a mother fucker.
