@kaia@brotka.st now bashar's gonna reinvent himself as a masculinity influencer, go on joe rogan etc.

@kaia@brotka.st i'm not sayin she's a gold digger

looks like Turkey is straight occupying/bombing/committing ethnic cleansing in northern/east Syria right now https://hawarnews.com/en/

Shits moving fast in Syria so Turkish proxies SNA took over Manjib after "US brokered cease-fire" i.e. the US is throwing kurds to the wolves... looks like they've also been or are being pushed out of Deir Al-Zour tho not clear who that is or how clear it is.

shits gonna get real bad

You ever notice whenever the Dems suffer a catastrophe and lose a winnable election then AOC, Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders come out whatever CIA black site they keep them in and start talking all this corporate accountability noise? and then whenever comes time for primaries or to pass laws they are publicly humiliated by dem leadership?

Kinda sus

It's like they know that progressive policies are popular and get them votes, but they're not actually gonna do that.

So yeah don't fall for the sheep dog routine, this is really getting to charlie brown football levels of comic absurdity

@RebelGeek99@mastodon.social yeah good to have some kind of alternative, and they do expose the dems on their bullshit keeping them off the ballot, but on covid they had a lot of anti vax people in the party which should have never happened

@RebelGeek99@mastodon.social what Cornel West did to the greens this year was pretty fucking shitty, i mean i love everything that dude says but what a kook, i didn't want to admit it but seems like just a big money making grift for him at this point

at this point, thinking any kind of progressive anything is happening with the democratic party is just delusional

@RebelGeek99@mastodon.social oh god reddit dems, they're worse than lemmy dems lol and they're still bad that Biden Dropped out, i remember saying "biden needs to drop out so we can have a real primary" last year and they swarmed me, just irrational bootlicking

@RebelGeek99@mastodon.social

yeah i mean i'm pretty "pragmatic" if the dems could lean slightly to the left, would be cool, but i think their leadership is totally hallowed out by corporate interests, there's no democracy left in the democratic party or possibility of organic change, they don't care if they lose, it's just controlled opposition, them and the whole non-profit sector are just COIN ops at this point

@RebelGeek99@mastodon.social ha that's a good one, no i mean COIN as in Counter Insurgency, that's their role to prevent an "insurgent" movement against capitalism, by setting up fake leadership, ostracizing socialists etc. regardless of whether they're "non-violent"

@RebelGeek99@mastodon.social

exactly, they trot out the progressives when they're in a bad spot, when they're in a position of strength they're like "you'll get nothing and you'll love it" and punch punch punch left all day, then when they lose, oh here's Elizabeth warren with the (get this) "The ACCOUNTABLE CAPITALISM ACT" of course it has no hope of passing Now and that's the point, she wouldn't drop that shit 2 years ago, when dems were in position of strength and the progressives should have united to push the party left. It's so fucking transparent -- the reason any of these people are there is because they're corporate stooges.

in the case of AOC is actually kindof sad, she's one of the biggest fundraisers ( if not THE biggest when organic donators ) in the party, she could actually just do whatever the fuck she wants and the dems couldn't stop her ( they try to primary her anyway despite the compromises, which is scandalous in itself )

I mean really, the dems are straight up controlled by the same corporate interests as the repugs, that's why they don't talk about issues, only decorum, they have nothing to offer, and by the way they act, and the numerous conflicts of interests we could list, seems like they're trying

@RebelGeek99@mastodon.social i'm sure i am blocked by many a shitlib, it's for the better anyway, someone that up their own ass isn't going to change their mind, and there is a non zero amount of paid / semi professional political trolls, that's where a lot of the money they raise disappears to, shady troll farm shit -- that should be a massive scandal actually, how the dems raised billions of dollars more than trump and didn't spend it on GOTV shit, they did not even campaign in Florida, which Obama won twice -- I think they have very conciously constructed a cult like onine community in to defend the DNC establishment, similar to Qanon or pro russian propaganda circles, if done effectively it kinda operates autonomously -- but when it comes to real world organizational functions, they are just looting the party infrastructure at this point, patting themselves on the back totally in their little fantasy weird ( see how many dems leaders are in on the AI scam)

With that parasite getting whacked all these dems lining up to condemn "violence", it's a real litmus test, they could just say nothing lmao, no they sincerely care about what randos say on the internet, because they are class conscious, they're bourgeois first, they can't hide their pearl clutching, they're scared -- but one thing we've learned from their voter outreach is that moralistic browbeating is not effective at all, so let them keep digging their own graves.

@RebelGeek99@mastodon.social Yep, we are all accellerationists now, trump regime is going to do irreparable damage to constitutional protects or environmental / worker regulations, their own incompetence may prevent them from ceasing total power, but their going to do incredible damage.

The democrats are going to do their controlled opposition bit and our goal should be to resist this at every turn, Build working class power, militant and uncompromising unions and neighborhood comittees, struggle against landlords and megacorp, mass protests where everyone masks and hoodies up, decentralized small groups is the way to go, any centralized party like DSA is just putting yourself on a hit list.

As for the green party, t's kinda their own fall really, Stein and Barakas stance on Syria made me stop fucking with them back in like 2015 -- and the didn't Stein run again this year? What a joke. Had that bothered to focus on local winnable elections 10 years ago, rather than doing the election troll routine they might have something by now, their obsession with doomed presidential bids means every four years they burn millions of dollars with nothing to show for it, and are forced into alliances with reactionary fringes.

this year they could have recruited heavily among Muslim americans but their Russia/Assad sympathies makes that impossible, part of this is the "boomer supremacy" thing where boomers seize the reigns and refuse to let go or allow new leaders to rise up, but a lot is also being dead set on failed strategies

We really do have to start from square one, hopefully we don't let the dems swoop in in 2-4 years and coopt all that grassroots organizing all over again.

@RebelGeek99@mastodon.social i mean with the greens they play this respectability trip while also saying things that are not very politically savy -- like with the Syria thing, i both sympathized with the revolution but also opposed US intervention, just like I hate Putin and I respect the ukranians right to resist an imperialist invasion, but have never been gung ho on US support for Ukraine -- and now with trump being dependent on the US is going to bite them in the ass -- you can oppose US imperialism without making apologies for foreign dictators, it's really not hard. But this goes beyond the greens and speaks to how there really is no organized leftist force in the US that is able to articulate a genuine working class perspective.

Like personally, why do the greens where suits? Just wear a T-shirt and jeans, and why settle for milquetoast positions when you're gonna lose anyway? ... and hey, maybe now a real working class party can begin to take shape, but that's only possible with a militant working class movement behind it... just like "pushing the dems left" requires a working class movement that can actually push them left and until that we'll always be reacting to bourgeois political formations.

@RebelGeek99@mastodon.social what Cornel West did to the greens this year was pretty fucking shitty, i mean i love everything that dude says but what a kook, i didn't want to admit it but seems like just a big money making grift for him at this point

whenever someone makes a joke, I make a very straight face and say "humorous"

@AnarchoNinaWrites@jorts.horse @dalias@hachyderm.io

you're the thing we're reasoning backwards about world events based what the western propaganda is saying, this will not give you an objective understanding of the situation

as to "what the Pig Empire stands to gain from this" they are saying it out loud, Assad is allied with Hezbollah and Syria is used as a passage for Iran to arm Hezbollah, Hamas and others, and they hope they can use the new syrian gov as some kind of proxy against Hezbollah / Iran, as Turkey seeks to use them against the SDF/Kurds ( and trump will likely cut off US arms to them next year ) BUT syrians aren't just mindless pawns of anyone else, and the masses of Syrians did this, not any one armed group, i find it doubtful any future government will be Israeli stooges, espeically while they deal with flows of Refugees from Lebenon, and Palestinians in Syria have long been active in the anti assad resistance

Likewise reasoning backwards by what western randos say about Syria on the internet is no way to go about it, you can real or talk to Syria anarchists/leftists, non are fans of al Sham al celebrate the fall of Bashar, as with always solidarity with the people of Syria against all oppressors

there's a reason that bluesky and threads have been trying to move in on the fediverse, it's because we have something that's immensely valuable that they can't control, and they want to do to this place what they do with everything, extract every cent out of it until they destroy it and turn it into a toxic simulacra of what it once was.

These corporations want to move in and take everything we have, destroy our communities, monopolie our infrastructure, mine our personal data and force us to consume propaganda. That's what they do to real world, with the state and property laws, on the internet they have different methods, like throwing money around and buying up non profit organizations or forcing everyone to use their corporate protocol ( #Bluesky) these methods are all transparent and well documented going back decades -- a lot of you tech people have not been taught anything about tech history and now not only are you drowning in debt for your useless degrees but you're ideologically all fucked up doing unpaid labor for megacorps. Everyone point and laugh at the sincerely confused foss advocate who things threads and bluesky are good for the fediverse.

They're not your fucking friends, they're not just trying to make a contribution to the open web, and if you're afraid to state this openly, if this isn't immediately obvious to you or somehow controversial -- that giant corporations are bad -- you're just deeply unserious, you do not understand basic realities which most people learn as children, read a book.

this is a debian system
i know this
