then they came for Ilhan Omar

At least he’s not running again.

He’s definitely running for president though.

The system is working as intended.

So completely shocking /s

Liberal democracies exist to serve capital interests. This is why they fund the police state first and foremost, to protect private property over any other purpose. It’s been this way for a long time, see 3/5ths compromise in the US constitution for one clear example.

Admitting the US has sovereignty over Taiwan is pretty funny tho.

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

Chainsaws could be turned into very effective guillotines. Just saying.

It’s a great mechanism for “peer review” especially in the sense that ethics and legality are often entirely different things.

Basically a jury can legally decide to nullify by declaring “not guilty” regardless of the facts or the judge’s instructions, etc. This is why even mentioning jury nullification during a trial can really upset the judge and the prosecution. It is supposed to be something every jury is aware of, but that is usually not actually the case.

Jury Nullification is like the secret code of the US justice system.That’s why most of the people that work for the system absolutely despised the whole idea.

The technical term often used is “recuperation”. Any innovation in radical evolution of culture is seen as a threat to the status quo, so recuperation comes in to co-opt the radical impulse and funnel it back into the status quo in a manner that is not destabilizing to exist structural power.

The classic example is media piracy like napster, bit-torrent, etc being co-opted into streaming services, itunes, etc. Service the desire that animated the radical impulse while reinforcing the existing power structures, foreclosing the potential threat. Enshittification often follows shortly after the enclosure has been successful.

Quorum sensing is an important factor in processes of quantitative change reaching a point where qualitative change is possible. This is just how social dynamics work. You’re welcome to encourage more people to join the push for a general strike or other local organizing groups and parties, but a mass of people will be necessary to bring about qualitative changes.

We need a general strike to start. It has to be big enough that is disrupts the ongoing social order, then revolution. Unfortunately many people are appeased by their treats and unwilling to commit to opposing the status quo in any effective way.

“The Nonsense of MAGA Communism”

Liberals getting deluded into thinking MLs and MAGA Communism are the same thing shows how much they desire for “horseshoe theory” nonsense. It really just proves how right-wing liberals are in their lack of any materialist analysis of geopolitics.

I carry a pocket knife mostly for functional purposes, but it also can be used defensively if required. A locking blade mechanism is definitely important. I guess a box cutter could work too.

sounds like you admitting to being a zionist to me

The incumbent got $650,000 from AIPAC, and you think the winning opponent “is a fucking nutcase”. Very interesting.

the figure also includes an additional estimate of 383,000 Uyghur children sent to boarding schools from 2017 to 2019, as calculated by Adrian Zenz [a scholar and Senior Fellow and Director in China studies at the US-based Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation[footnote 40]]

LMAO 13 matches for Zenz. It’s like you don’t even read what you are posting.
