i’m increasingly convinced that we’re being ultra cointelpro’d on here— a combination of bots, trolls, and algorithmically boosted discord.

It's depressing that a lot of liberal Zionists are going to finally realize what Israel is and what it's doing, and to speak out against it, at precisely the moment when they no longer have any influence over the WH and are also facing hundreds of new horrors closer to home.

just in case it wasn’t clear, grandpa joe just reaffirmed he’s a proud zionist, and tomorrow he will shake hands with someone he and his party have described as a “fascist” and “the end of american democracy”

WATCH — Biden to Herzog:

“I remember how I got in trouble back then when I said years ago as a senator, ‘You don’t have to be a Jew to be a Zionist.’ And I am a Zionist.”

Herzog: “I know you are… clearly a Zionist.”

Biden: “Well, God love you.”

i really want to believe that these goons are too stupid and selfish to actually seize and instrumentalize power, and in truth they absolutely are, but you gotta admit that it hasn’t really prevented them thus far

[siobhán maïa @femmebot__]

so we’re just about right here now, yeah?

kinda feels like america was taken over by christian eschatologists a long a time ago. maybe they have minor quibbles about how usher about prophecy, but they’re all seduced and share the same ultimate goals.

@jdr____llc one time at the el paso airport they theatrically stopped the entire line to try to make everyone mad as they bomb-swabbed literally everything in my carry-on and almost made me miss my flight.

one of the tsa bros was clearly trying very hard not to laugh the entire time.

The problem with liberalism is that it rests on a fundamental contradiction that cannot be resolved. It will always fail, it will always collapse, and this explains everything about our current moment.

Liberals try to hold two commitments at once: on the one hand, they are firmly committed to capitalism; on the other, they express support for principles like human rights, democracy, equality, freedom of speech, environment and the rule of law.  This duality is the core of liberalism.

But there's a problem. Capital accumulation requires cheapening labour and nature. This eventually comes into direct conflict with principles like rights and equality. And whenever this conflict appears, the liberal ruling class sides with capital, abandons their lofty principles, and throws workers and nature under the bus.  Every. Single. Time.

This results in flagrant displays of hypocrisy. They run on nice-sounding platforms but end up either betraying their promises or actively working against their stated values. They'll slash public services, bail out banks, imprison journalists, beat up students, expand fracking, coup democratically elected leaders in the global South, bomb liberation movements, fund a genocide - they'll even trash international law itself - anything that's needed to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation.

At most, they may try to negotiate mediocre compromises, a few social policies here and there - some abortion rights, a tiny increase in the minimum wage - but nothing that might pose any serious threat to capital accumulation. Thus the soul-crushing slowness of liberal incrementalism.  Ultimately they are unwilling to take any of the obvious steps that would actually resolve our urgent social and ecological crises.

This is why nobody trusts liberal politicians.  This is why they come across as so fantastically insincere, and even sneering.  This is why they feel so spineless and *empty*.

The center cannot hold.  Liberalism will always collapse, inevitably handing power to fascists, and this is not acceptable.  There is only one way to overcome this deadly impasse, and that is to mobilize a socialist alternative. A political movement that can unite the working-classes, overcome capitalism, deliver real economic democracy, and enable us to achieve rapid progress toward social and ecological goals.

Ngl there isn’t a single leftist strategy that will be successful unless we address our extreme individualism. Fascism feeds on loneliness and isolation, it will continue to have power unless we radically change the structural and social barriers keeping us apart.
