@kaia@brotka.st best germany

@kaia@brotka.st well 'ethical' idk that depends on how you look at it, like he gets credit for 'predicting the housing market crash' in 2008 while previously making a lot of money in that bubble, but sure he gives grounded investment advice compared to others, he can afford to. Compare him to someone like Jim Cramer who is comically wrong, irresponsibly bullish much of the time.

@kaia@brotka.st so when people quote warren buffet it's like quoting steve jobs or bill gates or something it's like low key PR for his brand

@kaia@brotka.st i'm not particularly knowledgeable about him, from what i've read he's just a Wall Street asshole that's cultivated this guru persona as 'the good billionaire', when Obama ran he got Warren Buffet's blessing and libs wouldn't shut up about him

@kaia@brotka.st do not quote that man

@kaia@brotka.st take shrooms

@kaia@brotka.st okay that needs to be an emoji

idk if this works but hey

we could set up international networks workers cooperatives that engage in commerce and give people employment, say if there were textilecooperatives in vietnam that make and send cheap high quality clothing to clothing distributors / screen printers etc. in the first world, this is market anarchism and so there is the problem of individuals/firms becoming very wealthy and throwing their money around, but people gotta eat

I don't know if a proper journalistic autopsy of the Sanders campaign has ever really been done, but lots of people got behind sanders at least in spirit, which includied a lot of dissolutioned and confused people, many of whom became trumper, qaners etc. but would have gone along with Sanders if it actually became a thing, and while Sanders was and is a top class orator with his pulse on the real center of american politics, but Sanders was never able to build an organization or movement around himself, like he just talked about a "political revolution" as if other people were going to do it, you know who also did a political revolution and engaged in social democracy, Lenin, If Sanders Read 2 Tactics we'd live in a different world right now. But Sanders isn't even a socialists, he shouldn't have even used that word lmao he should have conned the electies into thinking he was just an opportunist oboma type. Sanders is good at a certain kind of politics that works in a local and state election, it helped him carve out a chunk of democratic influence, but he just gives speeches he doesn't do anything locally outside of vermont, and you see the people he picked to lead his election campaign, and the extreme heirarchal and elitist way it was structured, just comparing the Sanders campaign to Obama '08 it's just embarassing lol.

@AnthonyJK@mastodon.redgarterclub.com

i mean, yeah

I think Jesse Jackson probably had much wider impact than Sanders in terms of building upon grassroots local organizations, like teh civil rights movement that survived COINTELPRO which is a mixture of militants who got involved in local politics, and the quieter NAACP, SCLC middle class types, and so there was a protracted struggle between racist white liberals and black/poc progressives, and the white establishment have developed advanced techniques for coopting and disrupting any kind fo grassroots opposition internal or external, call it COIN or the progressive plantation, it's a big fucking trap. Not to mention the multi billion dollar non-profit industrial complex, which is just an evolution of Carnegiesque Philanthropy, like it's literally rockafeller foundation etc. Several Rockefellers were powerful liberal republican politicians iirc

Could also go back to Missisipi Freedom Democratic Party, Fanny Lou Hamer and them ( also Kwame Ture, soon to be Panthers) The Panthers themselves tried to go the electoral route what 72? Ran Bobby Seale and someone else for City Council, lost, banktrupted the whole party ( after forcing local chatpers to relocate -- I think Huey was basically Mkultra'd as well as Cointepro'd anyway )

I think that the democrats could be forced to support concessions if there is sufficient pressure from the outside, it's possible to put progressive candidates on the ballot etc. But you have to have the grassroots movement first, which can't be coopted and doesn't need to bow to teh democratics.

So Sanders campaign never had the kind of connection to like BLM that should have happened, maybe because of Bernie Sander's soft imperialism and the not-so-lo-key racism of white sanders supports.

In any case we need strong working class organizations without any allegiance to the Democratic Party and not indepted to NGO industrail grants.

@BrahmaBelarusian@todon.eu

Bernie tho, lmao, and in the UK people still pining for Corbynne, or hell Cornel West in that club to, and he thinks 'well i'm smarter than all these mofos" and he is clearly the most capable presidential candidate lol let's be real.

It's almost like leadership of all institutions is being stubbornly clung to by these old fuckers, which mirrors how class and wealth intersect, just like all Hollywood can do is produce remakes, so all the politicians are clinging to these old brands, Biden riding Clinton+Obama's fading popularity, Trump's celebrity goes back to late 70's, West too banking on old clout, RFK Jr. and his fathers legacy etc. etc.

@kaia@brotka.st those $600 ones are just "starter" plastic sneakers tho, you gotta pay at least $2000 if you're seriously about that lifestyle

shout out to the good liberals who are telling people in East Palestine the water is safe to drink because the #Biden Admin says so. You're absolute trash.

can global elites stop murdering people just for like 15 minutes? #linux

@kaia@brotka.st i've had the privileged to know some mongolians, Idk if this is true of mongolians generally but they had a very good sense of humor

@kaia@brotka.st oh that's just sad

Yes it's the evil media who are spreading the FAKE NEWS that Biden is old as shit, it's not that every public appearance Biden makes produces a stream of gaffs that indicate cognitive decline -- it's weird how the evil media, hell bent on destroying Biden's reputation doesn't even publicize this embarrassing moments that go viral regularly.

But yeah Good Government is boring, like one that's financing a genocide, ethnic cleansing is so boooring

RE: https://mastodon.sdf.org/users/MattFerrel/statuses/112044737042381789

kinda funny how the Biden campaign / MSNBC etc. literally appropriate trumpian fox news rhetoric about how all criticism is "Fake News"

Now they're saying the republicans are "soft on immigration" for vetoing that shit bill Biden tried to pass -- seriously Biden would give the GOP Everything they want just to claim a Victory

for black history month I'm locking liberals in a room and forcing them to listen to Malcolm x speeches
