Ban a social media app for horseshit reasons, piss off everyone 25 and under (and some our age who also use TikTok)....only to find that the support for Palestinians they derisively call """"antisemtisim"""" doesn't vanish.

Local and national media have been running a high energy campaign to terrify people about law and order, with the tacit and direct support of both political parties, especially since the George Floyd protests, primarily to give law enforcement more cover to crack down in support of capital

After several years this has reached a fever pitch where the public is starting to demand something g be done asap

So politicians are doing something

Sinclair Broadcasting has been banging the drum with their "Seattle is Dying" anti-homeless specials for YEARS. I assume they're doing it in other cities too.

Spoiler alert: It wasn't the homeless that killed Seattle. It was rent and amazon

It's wild how much this creator shifted his politics in the last few years. If you go back to some of his earlier content, it would be the stuff we make fun of.

And his recent stuff has been consistent enough that I don't think it's chasing engagement, but honestly, as long as the content is good, I don't care what's in his heart of hearts.

It gives hope that some people can change.

Second Thought is a communist and great in general. I still lol when I remember that he got his first million subs just being a "I fuckin love science" type channel, radicalized, and dedicated entirely to political vids. He still gets comments to this day from old viewers who just want him to go back to making shlock

When you believe that the system is so rotten it has to be detonated and rebuilt from first principles, acknowledging wins achieved through the process or electoralism is a direct counter to your world view. Which is why you rarely see leftists take a W.

Yep, leftists aren't getting many Ws these days. They all seem to be going to the center right and far right.

Also, the planet is dying, the Nazis are back, life expectancy is going down, over a million Americans died of a preventable pandemic, there's an active genocide happening, and we're sitting on the precipice of WWIII.

Wonder if those things are related somehow :thunk:

You cannot understand what's happening without realizing that mass migrations are kicking off due to climate change and the current political moment is a dress rehearsal for how the major imperial powers are going to handle that.

Not well, because they spent the past half century destroying state authority and legitimacy.

They will certainly try and they might think they can press all of these buttons again, but Fascism is a mass movement and they have done everything possible to end mass politics, and nationalism requires an idea of a national community, which ditto.

They can push this as far as the individual enforcers are willing to do it for a paycheque, which is still pretty far, don’t get me wrong, but just like they created volunteer militaries willing to kill people as long as it comes at no risk to themselves, the system of oppression they have created is incredibly brittle.

The order on the line here is the miserable spreadsheet economy, and that’s not something they can rally people around in defensive of in the face of growing out of control crises. As long as cops get paid they will hurt people, but when they face risks - and crises and desperation will multiply risks - we will see the same sort of paralysis we did at Uvalde.

I’m not saying the left, migrants, or any other groups that will challenge the state need to make themselves dangerous now, of course not - that would be silly and illegal - but when push comes to shove, the people wearing patches that literally say “I have one rear end to risk” are not going to die defending the Winter Palace.
