Bust Rodd posted:If you haven’t seen it yet, the HBO Watchmen series is all about a white supremacist insurgency in Okhlahoma. It’s a direct sequel to the Alan Moore book, completely ignores the Zak Snyder film, and I think it does an incredible job illustrating how deep insurgencies go. TLDR: they only work if you have people on the inside. Bernie doesn’t have anyone on the inside. Bust Rodd

I mean we're at the point where states are talking about the early frameworks of balkanization and we're just over a month into this crisis. There have been several revolutions that were violent and sudden without an accompanying slow buildup of counter-revolutionary power -- even Russia's February revolution followed basically that path.

A team of fewer than a percent of a percent of the population have ensured that only the rich make decisions, and the overwhelmingly poor population of this country cannot hope to win a violent revolution against an army of stealth killer robots that can tactically SCUD you from 15 miles, higher and further away than the naked eye can see. lol what do you think a scud is

We're going to have 70 million+ Americans idle and unemployed for the forseeable future. They're getting a $1200 check and $600 a month, until state unemployment runs out because of feedback loops in automatic transfers. I think that making broad statements based on everything right up until early march in the US is pointless now. We've entered a new era of dynamism.

Revolutions work because the violence and deprecation are seen as less bad than the underlying conditions. America has this feature however that there exists a population of underclass for whom the conditions are way worse and when they finally rise up, the white population can and has united behind the military crushing the brown people who “riot.”

America has this feature however that there exists a population of underclass for whom the conditions are way worse and when they finally rise up, the white population can and has united behind the military crushing the brown people who “riot.” I had a very good US History prof in college who said something that stuck with me: "America was just about to develop class consciousness and class solidarity like the rest of the world, but the elites saw what was coming and replaced it with racism." Edit: I really don't think it would take too much work to manufacture consent that The Anti-American Terrorists Deserve To Die in a large group of people. I've seen everyone from centrist libs to the fascist right decry, say, Antifa and Black Lives Matter as dangerous psychos that our brave boys in blue must protect us and our property from at all costs. We already have classes of people whom it is not only acceptable to slaughter wholesale for any concocted reason, but whose death is actually endorsed as a social good. It doesn't take much leverage to start lumping new outgroups into the same social classifications as preexisting outgroups. In the minds of CHUDs, BLM and Antifa are the same as the pussy hat brunch wimps. Saddam was tied to 9/11. South American refugees are the same as ISIS/Daesh are the same as Al Qaeda are the same as Iran is the same as Muslims in general, including American ones. A lot of bloodthirsty white dumbasses have been trained into having no empathy and a high capacity for being lead into new frameworks which backfill any cognitive dissonance about killing fellow Americans with enough ideology to soothe and comfort their frictionless glide into concentration camps. Which we have built before, and have done again, and are currently doing. The ecofascism arguments coming from the center and right are the first wave of inoculations against feeling bad about mass death of innocents whose crime is Not Already Being Me.

The Muppets On PCP posted:it was reasonable given the previous few months to assume they didn't have it in them to pull everything together at almost literally the last minute to get biden across the finish line. a ton of state level officials (and voting dnc members) were definitely hedging their bets and going with bloomberg in the weeks before sc, so it's not like it was a long-planned and highly coordinated screwjob The party has sway but I don't think it would have worked with anyone. Biden won overwhelmingly just because he's Obama VP. In states where people campaign hard, it's obvious Biden isn't up for it, but once the race moved to states where that's not the case, Biden just swept.

It's crazy how, I don't think any of us believed that the DNC wouldn't pull out all the stops to divert Bernie energy. It's just that we underestimated how blatant and hosed up those stops would be, and how few people actually cared, instead preferring to ignore it and continue enjoying the lullaby world that the DNC was/is singing to them. Like, remember Shadow and Acronym? Candidates literally lying on primetime news, saying they won when they in fact lost to Bernie? I couldn't have imagined that they'd go unpunished for such a brazen level of rewriting reality in real time.

There was some hope in seeing them flood the field with their own no-charisma nobodies vs. Bernie, the candidate that people could actually identify. I think it's honestly impressive that they managed to pull themselves together after that, if only the left could have a party with such discipline.
