War_Takes is just the worst. says he's neither a socialist nor an anarchist, but has a big twitter banner of an American M1 Abrams tank with an antifa flag on it. Beyond parody.

Rocz and Liam are best friends irl, big time drinking buddies, codependent alcoholics, and Liam regularly alleges that his alcohol addiction saved him from his heroin addiction. So good luck getting him off that podcast lol. Any time Roczniak has been approached about what an asshole Liam is he goes full "I will always defend my friends!!!" mode.

>it's r/neoliberal again

don't make me tap the sign

expandr/neoliberal was created by and is astroturfed by a fossil fuel think tank called the Progressive Policy Institute, as part of their "Neoliberal Project"

PPI has been around since 1989 and views itself as Bill Clinton's "idea mill" aka think tank. Why I call them a fossil fuel think tank is detailed here. They oppose climate action, defend fracking, and receive donations from Exxon Mobil.

it's safe to say that their upvotes are farmed, and their organic support is mostly bourgeois economics and political science majors and interns who hope to work for PPI or a similar think tank one day. It's basically a Neera Tanden farm.

The creator of r/neoliberal, Colin Mortimer, is the Director of the Center for New Liberalism at PPI, which seeks to "develop a salient identity around the center-left values that have increasingly come under fire in this age of populism."

You're right. But in order to maintain its dying global hegemony, Amerikkka (the imperialist, settler-colonial, fascist, capitalist government) must prevent Russia from selling natural gas to the EU and must use Israel as a forward operating base to control the energy industries of the MENA countries. Otherwise dollar hegemony will end and then it won't be cheap to fix domestic problems anymore. So Amerikkkan "prosperity" is tied to American imperialism, and more and more of the discretionary and non-discretionary budget must be spent on maintaining that imperialism. The country is in a death spiral and the only way out is revolution. There's no redirecting the blood money to fixing the domestic wounds, because the value of the blood money itself is tied to the fact that it's used to bomb people instead of healing domestic wounds.

exactly, there's a way to do sex positivity without turning everything into almost-softcore-porn for 3 minutes

yeah it was always awkward as fuck growing up enjoying a good fast-paced flick with the fam and then suddenly there's just two minutes of darkness, lotioned skin, whispery plosives, breathy vowels, and macaroni mixing sounds, all with the mic volume WAY THE FUCK UP versus other scenes where you can't even hear people talk under the soundtrack. And then everyone has to sit there and act like it isn't happening, or race to be the first one to get up and go pee, and this was back before everyone had smartphones to distract themselves with.
