you have liberal friends?

wow this post literally gave me goosebumps

the type of people who watch right wing pundits admire that kind of behavior. it get ratings.

During many of the slave revolts, there are records of voices claiming "this isn't an honest rebellion, they are the unwitting stooges of the French/Spanish who just want to attack Brits!"

in the American War of Independence, the British offered freedom to slaves who fought against colonists. Many joined up with the "Ethiopian" regiment of the redcoats for that reason. So the lesson here is even if they are working for a foreign power... So fucking what?!?! Don't enslave them and maybe that wouldn't be their only option! Where else are they gonna get guns and training?

"Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

CHAT! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!! YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THIS ALREADY!!!!

yeah i'm thinkin kevin spacey is a literal serial killer.

I think that even before Biden's ~~brain~~ processing unit was scrambled eggs he didn't actually believe in anything. I would describe it less as a mindset and more as a "mode." To the extent that he pretends to believe in anything, it's to weaponize it for class interests. You can see this in those old clips where he remarks about "prostituting" himself to lobbyists in his 20s, or saying that "if Israel didn't exist we'd have to invent it" (the subtext being, to protect US imperial interests in the Levant). So when he appeals to those evangelicals obsessed with the holy land, it's less because he was ideologically captured by the spectacle of the gulf war, and more because he was part of the class of people who helped make it happen.

Even with Russia, it's less that he really believes Putin is building USSR2 (even though he said that at the beginning of the war) and more that he wants to secure a market for US liquid natural gas by using Ukraine as a bulwark against the potential development of a friendship between the Russian bourgeoisie and the western/middle European bourgeoisie. Because before that war started he admitted wanting to destroy Nordstream. So even in that scrambled brain of his, the class interests hiding behind the culture war posturing still sometimes leaps out.

Sabra

they named this mf after the genocider hummus smh

his brain is still stuck in war on terror era "appeal to the psycho evangelicals obsessed with the HOLY LAND" mode

Like on it's face he's directly saying that each Israeli is worth more than an American

the electoral college already says 1 Wisconsonite is worth like a bajillion Californians

Glad we see eye to eye. Yes, there's more wrong with it then tone deafness, I was just trying to be brief. Hopefully something will be done about it. Apologies if I took the wrong approach. You raise important points.
