real democracies
Those glorious democracies where money is king, teeth are a luxury and it’s illegal to be against Palestinian genocide
and I hold countries like Russia and North Korea in even lower regard than America.
So you don’t like america but you hate it’s designated state enemies more? Damn, how enlightened of you. Truly a worldview beyond reproach or control.
Yes
They lost them in the swamp
As a ritual performance before they ignore you anyway
If all it takes to provoke the NYPD is to say what everyone else already knows, and what everyone else was supporting you for saying, what value is there in continuing to walk on eggshells around such fickle and unpopular people compared to just continuing to say the popular thing? They weren’t gonna be on a socialist’s side anyway, they work for the landlords.
Now that they know he can be bullied, they aren’t gonna stop. They’re like wild animals, you can’t show weakness
What’s pragmatic changes from one era to the next. Being uncompromising is the new form of pragmatism, the new meta.

No no, we had to put twelve thousand people in camps over forty years of martial law to stop the authoritarians!
A non “authoritarian” country is a contradiction in terms. A government is an instrument of class control. Can anyone name a government that doesn’t use authority?
ok, best of luck with your…organizing outside of the left?
So what you’re saying is that a bad situation does not always and inevitably lead to victory, and that there are certain material conditions that need to be fufilled? Cool, not sure why you needed 3 paragraphs to say it
Revolutions never start from the poor
Lol
insular dirtbag leftists with an outcast attitude.
I’m sensing the presence of some personal beef I’m not privvy to and don’t care about.
No, it really is just the nature of socialist struggle that you’re getting stomped on for the first 90% of it. Every successful revolution started from some of the worst and most squalid conditions with the worst odds imaginable: illiterate, starving, under the thumb of theocrats and warlords, war-torn, hyperexploited. You seem to think I said that bad situations always and inevitably lead to victory, which…???. History is pretty clear about the conditions that need to be met for success, and they’re not “moral” ones.
1: Because it’s historically been the nature of these causes that they’re losing right up until the moment they win. Seems impossible till it’s done, journey of a thousand miles, single step and all that.
2: pure spite towards the smug, arrogant and cruel status quo supporters. I will.never give them the satisfaction of falling into despair, from hell’s heart I stab at them
Matt Yglesias already has an article out blaming us for “Crying wolf” about genocide
Wow! At this rate, they’ll be able to write a strongly worded letter encouraging the formation of a bipartisan committee to investigate the possibility of initiating the process of formally issuing a complaint roughly 10 years after any of it matters!
Foot dragging, ass covering, laying the groundwork to claim they were always against this. Whole party of shy Hitlers. Glory to Yemen.
By that standard PragerU is not propaganda because it originates from private funding. Do you wanna go back and think about that one, maybr try again?
Literal medieval peasant brain, believes in good and evil and assumes anyone who doesnt must just be lying about it. Like how a thief thinks everyone is out to steal from them. Sad.
You’ve spent this interaction running though every cope and deflection in the book, because on some level you recognize that you’re so far out of your depth you’re at risk of barotrauma.
Having this pointed out will not deter you, because your ego is too fragile to let you walk away.
1.5 billion people, roughly one fifth of all currently living human beings 
Lol you think advancing beyond a Marvel movie-based worldview for children is “galaxy brain” shit
