  • Neither Washington nor Moscow!

    Instead, The United States of America and The Russian Federation!

  • Neither left nor right. Only genocide.

  • Anti-leftness was always the impetus for the previous bipartisan regime.

    It's no accident that, "okay we can fight" happened immediately after the fall of the USSR.

    We've got a new cold war and a new domestic left and whaddaya know suddenly it's urgent to fight "the enemy" during peacetime and to crack down on those pesky protesters at home.

  • Best thing I've ever seen irl is multiple cop cars set ablaze.

  • It pointed to "disinformation, sabotage, acts of violence, cyber and electronic interference... and other hybrid operations

    Every accusation is a confession lol.

    Imagine if NATO lovers applied these standards to themselves. All of Western Europe would just be one big crater.

  • Sounds like a pretty standard American private school guy.

    Which is a bad kind of guy, yeah.

  • r/neoliberal is full of lazy PMC nerds whose entire identities are feeling smart because they occasionally ready the NYT or The Economist but are actually allergic to reading even the liberal theory you mention. They are constantly surprised at how events unfold and make big, dumb posts asking questions about those events and getting 37 different, highly-upvoted responses that are mostly armchair psychologizing Great Man Theory, i.e. what all liberals pick up from their entertainment media. Most of them don't even know what the word defining their subreddit means. They just love to lick boots and discovered their compatriots.

  • Inside Israel it's all racism and "give us the hostages".

    Outside Israel it's still a lot of that but they also use the "it's antisemitic to oppose our genocidal actions" line, obviously.

  • Dems voters openly accepting 99% Hitler rather than do literally anything but whine about the people fighting back:

  • The US will continue its strategy of drawing a big line between "good" countries and "bad" countries. Then it will eat the "good" countries while projecting blame at the "bad" countries.

  • The primary contradiction centers on imperialism. It is better if the US is less outwardly violent and they includes components of consciousness and of ability to coherently push for its imperialist interests. Socialists in the US should seek to spread anti-imperialist and socialist sentiment through growing their organizations and lobbying other organizations via coalitions and by partaking in action. Socialists in the US should not naively build trade unionism, as it easily blows back on this entire project. Instead, socialists should focus on key sectors. For example, there are self-proclaimed socialists that actively try to work with weapons manufacturers because they have a union and that is supposedly the socialist thing to want. It's no surprise that these same people don't even try to organize anything against their employers. Also, please consider being strategic in your audience. Many socialists join unions and try to lobby staff or think they will take over the union with some lazy anti-staff rhetoric. Both of these tactics fail. Staff in unions are (usually) promoted through loyalty and can be shitlibs and reactionary. Taking over a union is a years-long project that requires a cadre and a reasonable goal for how you will sustain your numbers given that there are not enough socialists to keep all the leadership positions socialist.

    In terms of the question of division, the people living in the United States have never been united. The United States was founded on genocide and slavery and the genocide targets and enslaved were not fans of this arrangement. Racial and gender discriminating were the norm and still mostly are. There are large disenfranchised labor underclasses, primarily prison labor and undocumented immigrant labor, both of which are massively exploited. The capitalist ruling class of the United States built racialized slavery in response to worker demands and has never left behind this successful divide-and-conquer strategy, using every social movement to hide the material underpinnings of who is fighting in favor of oppression and why they are so well-resourced. The US has a massive population of cops with military equipment. Etc etc etc etc.

    The concept that the US is more divided now is a false consciousness that erases past struggles. It's based mostly on bourgeois electoral analysis that says the two capitalist parties vote more along party lines now. Big whup, they're just fighting over different bourgeois factions' interests and the culture wars they directly maintain to keep your focus away from their material basis and the only tool we have to oppose them: community organization. It's the red vs blue divide and as we see repeatedly that is a charade.

  • YouTube is also promoting Jerry Seinfeld stuff right now.

  • Remember this when people here tell you to harm reduction vote for him in November.
