Make no mistake about it: America is where it is because the ruling class (represented by both Republicans AND Democrats) made a conscious choice to embrace fascism. They’ve chosen to protect their power and wealth over your family and community.

Liberals imagine that fascism is something only Republicans do, while “small government” conservatives constantly fail to recognize the authoritarian nature of their own GOP.

Capitalism is headed for collapse, inevitably. Tragically, rather than bringing it down with a soft landing through a series of implementations of socialist policies, we have chosen to crash land it at the cost of countless lives and our planet’s ecology.

They’ve tricked liberals into believing that all conspiracies are false, and worse that you have to be an uneducated conservative to believe them. Therefore libs tend to disbelieve even easily verifiable conspiracies happening right in front of us.

And so should you. Not only are they trying to manipulate our opinions, they are also dragging leftists into phantom debates. You’re wasting time arguing with fake accounts when you could be organizing in the community.

With little notice or fanfare, we’ve already crossed the Rubicon and arrived at the point where the average person cannot tell the difference between AI video and real life. Anyone that doesn’t develop critical thinking skills ASAP is about to find themselves hopelessly buried in misinformation.

It doesn’t justify gutting social services of course, but Republicans are correct when they point out that we are all going to die one day. So why fear them? Since the worst they can do is kill you (and death comes regardless) there is no reason to comply and no reason not to resist.

They know everything about you and they’ve got eyes on you 24/7. The next phase is to start making demands that you will be given no choice but to obey. Imagining that you can vote this away in ‘28 is one of the all-time great delusions in a country built on delusion.

Dems are opportunists cosplaying as resistance fighters in order to neutralize potentially revolutionary energy while personally enriching themselves. Until we stop falling for it, we’ll never be able to properly organize and resist.

They’re fighting a class war against us and they’re winning because we either fail to notice, fail to care or fail to defend ourselves.

It is within the mind that thought occurs, so it must be within the mind that fear arises. Fear dies with the mind.

Yeah, that about sums it up. All of the justifications, all of the rationalizations made to defend Israel only work if you don’t apply them to anyone else (least of all the Palestinians.) You have to suspend the use of logic - and the use of your heart - to defend these atrocities.

This is what I mean when I say that we don’t live in a democracy.

For well over a year, any time we speak out against genocide, apologists respond with some version of “Do you denounce Hamas?” In the coming days, if anyone asks you if you’re upset about the two Israeli embassy staffers being killed, don’t answer until you ask them if they denounce the genocide.

A liberal will protest if people are persecuted for their race, religion, gender, orientation and so forth. But libs can’t truly stand for equality until they include class. If they do not care to protect the poor, then - whatever identity you claim - you are only protected so long as you’re rich.

This is what happens when you have a for-profit healthcare system. They’d literally rather you die than let socialists cure you for cheap.

We were told as children that rapid technological advancements would free us from long hours of labor. Many of us are working harder and longer than previous generations, all so a handful of elites can have more money than god. These are our lives they’re stealing.

Everything you detest about politics, your job, your healthcare and on and on… this is capitalism. This is what happens when every choice made by society is made in favor of profit over humanity.

Things keep getting worse under both parties, but they’ve got you herded into echo chambers of propaganda so that you’ll think it’s only the other side that is harming you. The US government is hopelessly dominated by elite interests across the board. We must replace it with something better.

The great irony is that you’re so attached to the possibility of enlightenment that you miss enlightenment. You desire it, and your desire obscures it.

ICE is grabbing children out of schools and deporting them so that Trump can let actual violent and dangerous people into the country in exchange for bribes. I know that fascism runs on hypocrisy, but I’d think letting cartel members in would upset the xenophobes. The GOP truly is a cult.

…until Gavin Newsom arrests them all

Important advice. So much of what we do for “convenience” ends up costing us more than we’d planned on. Use a passcode.

A pity, they won’t have a leg to stand on when they later complain that the coming elections were rigged against them. The Democrat party betrayed you. They can’t “save” democracy because they have already sold it out repeatedly. We could be sitting here in Bernie’s second term right now.

Disgruntled conservatives are told the government is to blame, but never reminded that the American state is and always has been right wing. They’re told our economic problems are caused by socialism, but BOTH major parties are capitalist.

They’ll accuse you of being a bigot for pointing out something that Israel is openly admitting to doing. It’s a gaslighting campaign unlike anything before in history.

They will accuse you of being a “conspiracy theorist” simply for pointing out what is happening right out in the open. Virtually all of your politicians are corrupt beyond repair. They will NEVER prioritize people over wealth and power. We need a new system or we’ll never get out of this mess.

Lovely hike this weekend

One killer may be less sadistic than another, one slaver less brutal, one rapist just a little bit less cruel. A slightly less awful monster is still a monster. When faced with two terrible choices, find a third option. Better yet, create one. We are our own liberation.

Gaza is an open air extermination camp at this point. The lack of pushback is damning. Not all of us are personally fascists, of course. Most of us are just the modern equivalent of liberal Germans that hoped the nazis would leave them alone so long as they didn’t make trouble.

You’ve got to understand that the people who run this country (both politically and economically, not that there’s any separation at this point) do not care about you AT ALL. When they are telling you that they do, that’s literally just to prevent you from toppling the system. It’s just PR.

White supremacy is not exclusive to the GOP. Here’s a dirty little secret about bourgeois American liberals: They actually like police because cops protect their status. They hate to see a breakdown in the social order - even under fascism - because they prefer privilege to equality.

Collective progress begins with personal progress. Personal progress begins with the ceasing of any action which violates one’s own conscience.

Every time a Zionist American politician criticizes the Chinese government, accuse them of being racist toward all Chinese people. Remind them that disagreeing with a foreign government is the exact same thing as hating everyone that belongs to that ethnic group.

While the public debate was centered (quite intentionally) around gun control, they massively expanded the police state with little discussion and even less pushback. In a fascist nation, every crisis is an opportunity for the expansion of control.
