1. US starts war in Ukraine.
2. US tells EU to ban Russian energy.
3. US breaks all other energy supply chains.
4. US tells EU to buy energy at inflated price from US.
5. US gets that energy cheap from Russia to sell to EU at huge profit.

That's literally what has happened.

@virginianpilot Politicians cannot take credit for what educators have done.

Democrat voters are every bit the partisan zealots as the cognitively challenged MAGA voters.

I do not police my language.

What really chaps my ass, is that the vote blue no matter who crowd cannot see this as the ruling class merely bickering among themselves. Billionaires must ABSOLUTELY be taxed heavily. So what if they leave California? They are parasites who don't care about the host that keeps them alive. Democrats are fucking stupid.

2027 is the year...

2027 is the year that I eliminate spending on restaurants, movie theaters, concerts, app subscriptions, etc.

Everything that is unnecessary will be cut.

I'm receiving notifications of increases in everything from my rent to my medical insurance to my utilities. I can't "earn" any more than I am right now, so my options are to reduce spending.

I can survive well on very little. I think that is the position that I should place myself.

If the establishment of Israel is a divine mandate, what does that say about the character of that divinity?

@chrismartenson This sounds irrational. Why would they want to end funding for a program that they will one day benefit from? Methinks they've been propagandized.

@FoxNews The jokes write themselves. The irony here is just too great to miss. This is from a pedophile who lives in some strange compartment in his shrinking frontal lobe.

Many Westerners call themselves Marxists, socialists, or communists while reproducing the bourgeois order they claim to oppose. Revisionism wears a thousand masks. Judge politics by class interests, organization, and practice—not labels. Beware. #Revisionism

[William Murphy @420GHz]

The empire doesn't care about religion as theology. It cares about religion as an ideological weapon. When Christianity can manufacture obedience, nationalism and willingness to kill for empire, capital will institutionalize it. Hegseth is tightening that ideological apparatus.

But there IS one Party that is working among us that can lead us to solve the problems ourselves: https://t.co/2slY5ecvPv

Voters favor Democrats on key issues but lack faith in either party to solve problems: AP-NORC poll: https://t.co/1gSf5bH1PF

The pretext changes. The pattern doesn't.

Korea: the pretext was communism.

Vietnam: the pretext was communism.

Guatemala: the pretext was communism.

Iran: the pretext was communism.

Chile: the pretext was communism.

Then the Soviet Union collapsed and the pretext needed updating.

Iraq: the pretext was weapons of mass destruction.

Libya: the pretext was humanitarian intervention.

Syria: the pretext was chemical weapons.

Venezuela: the pretext is democracy.

Iran, again: the pretext is nuclear weapons.

The pretext is not the policy.

The pretext is the packaging.

The policy is older than the pretext, older than the Cold War, older than the specific vocabulary used to sell it to each generation.

The policy is: your resources belong to us until you are strong enough to take them back.

The only thing that changes is which word they're currently using for the box.

I support every movement directed against imperialism.

If you're waiting for the U.S. Congress to deal with Trump's clinical insanity, your time is better spent engaging with something productive.

@BerryRichards1 @WTKR3 Data on this would be helpful.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

The American ruling class will never say "we are the terrorists."

They will say "we are the indispensable nation."

They will bomb a country into dust, then claim they saved it from something worse.

They will cry over their own dead and shrug at everyone else’s.

They will not stop until someone takes away their permission.

That someone is not another government.

It is the people they pretend to represent.

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

So the logic is…

The ruling class lies to us, loots us, poisons us, surveils us, brutalizes us, extorts us, cages us, and experiments on us, but the only solution is to hand power back to the other wing of the same criminal cartel?

How many times are we going to do this?

BREAKING: IRGC SPOKESMAN TO AMERICANS:

“The American people live in a land that, in terms of fertility, is one of the best lands in the world. They have abundant water resources, energy and valuable minerals.

With all these resources, human resources, natural resources and underground resources they could have a very prosperous country.

So our question is: why does America have 39 million people below the poverty line?

Why are millions of people homeless?”
