Everybody's doing it.

This is a great example of the incoherence of nationalist sovereignty arguments against internationalism. "Screw internationalism! All nations for themselves! All nations that believe this should get together in an alliance of united nationalist nations! Let's call it the UN!"

Possibilities:
1- It's real, Europe fights back, we get intra-NATO war & it collapses, Russia invades Baltics.
2- It's real, Europe under-reacts looking weak, Russia invades Baltics.
3- This is fake & meant to distract from something else.
Anyone see alternatives?

Knowing about important developments is good. We pinpoint where we are in unfolding historical processes and can then navigate well.

Freaking out about the so-called news is bad. We panic about unfolding historical processes and lose mental bandwidth needed to navigate at all.

This is the opposite of justice. We should have unseated Maduro/PSUV, but legally, and with clear humanist intent.

On the bright side, if Trumpo-Chavism is the endgame, my Maduro-curious leftist colleagues and our Vichy GOP foes both shed moral credibility like snakes molt skin.

Yep, the saboteurs haven't made their way out here yet. :)

Brieskow holds! Stay warm and strong, friends.

The nihilistic dehumanization some folks in DIY/indie music are displaying in response to a guy's neck exploding in front of 100s of impressionable college kids is...I've been ashamed of this subculture before, but never like this. You are being brittle, tiny-souled ghouls.

It doesn't matter what his stances were today. Mocking Charlie Kirk's extrajudicial execution before the body's cold is callous dehumanization. If you treasure human life like I do but can't see that, you're playing into the hands of our worst opponents, and you've lost your way.

Трумп — хуйло!

Don't worry, being an antimonarchist is going to be just as fun as being an antifascist.

In 2025 we fight *monarchism*, a political philosophy that says those with power deserve it because they have it (social Darwinism) or because God ordained it (divine right of kings). It threatens the rights we've enjoyed for centuries, and it's winning (Putin, Trump, Bibi, Kim.)

These two tyrants want the same thing: a world where might makes right, power is hyper-concentrated at the top, and bloated nation-states carve up the globe into amoral mini-empires locked into ceaseless squabbles that impoverish most but enrich an unaccountable elite.

Trump takes control of Metro Police, deploys National Guard to take on Washington crime President Donald Trump recently promised Washington would be "LIBERATED" from "Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum."

A classic authoritarian move: oblique provocation designed to justify itself retroactively. Prob obvious, but we need to scream this, do something responsible about it, and stop rolling our eyes like it's a tacky shirt. Red alert territory. www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

See 1-. I think we agree incidentally (def on Ukraine), but to say "every" Palestinian uses antisemitic speech is just false, and even if it were true, Palestinian civilians wouldn't deserve to be arbitrarily and extrajudicially murdered by an occupying army for those hypothetical speech acts.

Reverb viola hip hop beats, cartoon cha-cha-cha on MIDI orchestra xylophones, infinite harmonically linear vi-IV-I-V loops, etc.: we underestimate how drastically the childish musical aesthetics of NPR shows and liberal podcasts undermine their credibility.

Remember when you were a scared teen and thought that being cruel in public to people below you in status was the same thing as being funny? Some people grow past that, some don't, and those two groups are the nuclei of a new political divide that cuts across left and right.

How's Q doing?

Happy Independence Day.
Take nothing for granted.
Empire looms eternally.

I listened to a ton of Christian rock as a kid. It was bad when it combined a superficial rebel cool kid with closed-minded conformist values. That fakeness was audible.

Much current DIY/"punk" music has the opposite problem: beautiful anticonformist values w/bland aesthetics.
