brenden's labyrinth

chaotically curious. tragically confused. simulated enigma. i write about the thing.

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

the current establishment (left and right) betrayed the liberal promise. You cannot have 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' in a system that commodifies survival.

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

we have a fusion of state power and corporate interest. this is the status quo.

when our government insures Boeing’s losses but not your healthcare…that’s not capitalism.

that is modern feudalism…where welfare supports corporations first.

@jessesingal china does some awful things…but we can definitely learn some government efficiency tips from them.

you can learn from them while simultaneously being critical. i know holding multiple ideas at once is an insane concept on the internet

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

Universal healthcare is only "radical" if you profit from sickness. To everyone else…it should be a common sense necessity and right for being a tax paying citizen.

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

we need to stop fighting the new rights ideology based in deep resentment with further moral preaching.

we need something stronger, something more seductive, and more true.

a narrative people actually want to inhabit both ideologically and materially.

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

away from the corrupt corporate power structure and lean into something more xenophobic.

the task it not to become “anti-immigration.” the task is to repoliticize immigration as a class relation, not a moral guilt trip.

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

we need to stop allowing ourselves to collapse into reactionary logic. we need to articulate the nuance and understand the workers discontent…

immigration is not the cause of working-class suffering…

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

it is the symptom of a global economic order designed to pit workers against each other.

but because the Left refuses to talk about the material mechanism behind this, the far right (agent of that global order) steps in and gives workers a narrative that leaves them turning...

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

because the certainty you're promised is structurally impossible.

and yet we keep chasing it. we keep adjusting ourselves to match whatever the structural desire demands in this moment.

we're subjects of the signifier.

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

at some level...in various areas of your life...you're alienated.

but you're alienated because you're a symbolic being created by the structures of society.

you live in a world where the structures guiding you are fundamentally unstable...

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

Our current political elites just didn’t expect the extent to which it would become an ouroboros

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

the new Epstein files go beyond Trump…they continue to expose a deeper irony.

the close Trump circle this time around built entire media careers (Kash Patel and Bannon) on Epstein conspiracies, treating him as a “master-key” that proves American elites live in a separate moral

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

Meanwhile outlets like Drop Site News end up doing the real investigative work (growing evidence that Epstein was a Mossad agent).

MAGA wanted Epstein as a tool to perform their authenticity…to trick people into believing they were going to “drain the swamp”.

@EdbieLigerSmith i hopped on here for the first time in weeks...
my third suggested tweet was some weirdo proclaiming we need to get rid of the 19th amendment

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

@InfraHaz you're the controlled psyop. the distraction that will leave the worker worse off in the end! a whittle trick by the establishment to keep the worker as a corporate bootlicker.

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

@Tyre_94 it's crazy how people cannot comprehend the potential better world that could have been made if the US did not continue to punish the image of the soviet union while they transitoned into something else...

and the immediate soviet union was actually looking for guidance...

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

@drumm_colin it's okay...some people like yourself are insecure and need those universal structures to not be questioned. allow the thinkers to contemplate the structures so you can go on with your life without going cray cray

[brenden's labyrinth @brendenslab]

don’t worry systemic racism is no longer a thing. people do not have uneducated and harmful beliefs about people they do not understand.
