look at my revolutionaries dawg… we’re so fucked

Reoriented this post to question people in the imperial core for ‘falling for it’ and it’s a hit

I align with your pessimism.

The fact is, in the U.S especially- you are either a reactionary or you’re left adjacent and too comfortable with your imperialism dividends to make the required sacrifices needed for a mass movement.

I think this is why even some self described MLs advocate for electoral solutions, it’s the easy way out.

Fascism must be allowed to rise and fall in the, U.S americans must go through a revolutionary crisis- it’s the only needle that can penetrate the balloon of american hubris. The last century has proven this, yet we’re told to prolong the inevitable and necessary with soc dem elections / dead-end - non-militant organizing.

Trump, his cronies, and the tech twats have done more to put the U.S and much of the left into a positive position than many of the civil-centric organizing left adjacent people have ever done. People want to talk about material interests driving class consciousness and political fervor- well those are the people driving the needed material conditions.

Yes, funny that you mentioned the American perception of danger.

Any time I mention visiting a country outside of western europe / the caribbean tourist hell- I literally get told I’m going to be chopped up or murdered.

I think any american willing to travel outside of the aforementioned places is someone with a mind already changed. For me it only confirmed what I already knew about the rest of the world.

And some of your replies are very correct, and a surface level conversation with most american hogs will prove it: the majority have not traveled abroad and many aren’t even well versed in the states / workings of their own country.

He can pull from his G.I bill, bye bye

Trust that I agree with you on this, I use the word “master” intentionally though- as we are subjected to their whims without any say in the matter.

There are also many of us who are (unwittingly) dependent or addicted to their products / services. You and I both know plenty of people who give into almost every impulse incentivized by these products, especially when in the form of entertainment.

Our communities are now choc full of slaves and solicitors- a master is an enemy yes, but only when his slaves know who owns them.

It will be as bad as it is now with an even higher intensity.

We will see it continue to be used as a substitute for research, learning, critical or even surface level thinking, and interpersonal relationships.

If and when our masters create an AI that is actually intelligent, and maybe even sentient as depicted in movies- it will be a thing that provides biased judgments behind a veneer of perceived objectivity due to its artificial nature. People will see it as a persona completely divorced from the prejudices of its creators as they do now with chat GPT. And who ever can influence this new “objective” truth will wield considerable power.

there’s a certain genius in catching some unknown sickness and then going to visit a newborn with heart issues

reality once again trumping any sort of retribution any of us could dream up

Let all acts of dissent become a crime so we can more freely pick the most effective one.

These meager and disappointing gains have and only will turn people away.

Some folks will gain class consciousness sure, but then they will become demoralized when the object of their support proves ineffective in an electoral system designed to please private interest, and placate the public into passivity- not push material conditions to new heights.

Even if the purported best case scenario takes place- and material conditions improve for the average person, we will be worse off.

Mass class consciousness in the united states can only be born of political unrest, and that unrest will not come easily if americans are comfortable.

We are not to do nothing however, for now it’s best that we continue to grow our own circles both locally and nationally, agitate, and be ready to pull people out of the future’s rubble- taking advantage of what is clearly inevitable: amerikkka’s self destruction.

Political impotency with praxis paint

Any expected positive outcomes from this are the result of a uniquely american collective amnesia

The best that can be hoped out of this is that the rise in left adjacent electoralism stokes fear in the moderate and fascist right, provoking a tragedy that would do more for class consciousness and solidarity, than years of short lived legislative and electoral gains ever could

On September 2, the Instagram account for StopIce.net shared a video identifying a Border Patrol agent involved in a recent Los Angeles area immigration raid and welcoming him to a “wall of shame.” Meta gave the users just 10 days to challenge the subpoena before their information would be released to the government, according to The Intercept.

Exposing the identities of ICE agents on social media only to have the exposure of your own identity threatened by the same platform caving to ICE is an irony befitting what has become the most common, inadequate response to fascist violence in the U.S.

A shared suffering may be what finally unites us in the face of a complete lack of political ambition and class consciousness amongst north american settlers. Something that even I myself have become a slave and solicitor of.

We will have to watch the boots tread, for now.

These two would be best friends if it weren’t for bush bringing on economic consequences and causing “10s of thousands” of lives (amerikkkan patriots) to be lost

Not laughing but excited to see the inventible and necessary accelerated.
