It seems like you and your tech friend are Joe Biden supporters because you benefit from the current system. It’s interesting how people in the tech world think they are political experts without actually having studied politics. Your false confidence in this area seems to come from your expertise in another field. You labour aristocrats will never see fascism come simply by reason that it doesn’t affect you negatively. For the poor black person in the US, fascism is already here; for the labour aristocrat, it is always just around the corner. For Palestine, it has been developing there for about a hundred years now, supported by the USA and by people like you.

They are ignorant, but not by choice or inaction, they are simply not capable of more, which explains their station.

What does that even mean? It’s like you’re saying they have some innate quality to them.

They also lack integrity, and rather than admit their station is their fault, they blame government, liberals and minorities.

That seems to contradict what you previously said.

All of this leaves them susceptible to misinformation by the actual people standing on their necks.

Yes. The government, the liberals, and a minority, the capitalists. That is, for those who are poor and don’t have much to gain from fascism.

Correct, but I dislike that liberals point that out when the Western world has done the same. They are either ignorant of those laws or think liberalism and their politicians are allowed to get away with it. If we confront them, they always say that’s “whataboutism.”

Emily Harding: The self-centered piece is this completely self-defeating debate, where you have people saying, well, why are we sending all of these resources off to Ukraine? Why are we spending all this money on Ukraine, when we really should be keeping it here for a fight in the Pacific? Or, we really should be keeping it here for domestic priorities? It’s just the wrong way to look at it. First of all, from a basic numbers perspective, I think Angus King of Maine has a really good speech on this, the money that we spend on Ukraine doesn’t leave the U.S. It goes to the U.S. defense industry. It goes to U.S. companies that send aid to Ukraine. The vast majority of it stays here.

It truly baffles my mind that anyone can believe this BS. The defence industry is a private, profit-driven entity. It is funded by taxpayers, with wealthy white men pocketing all the profits.

What Putin has done with his invasion of Ukraine is say: I don’t care about any of that. I want the world system to be remade in a way that I like. I want to prove that the U.N. is pointless, that the U.S. is weak, that U.S. democracy is not all it’s cracked up to be. And I want the U.S. fighting inside by itself against itself, rather than using its vast global power to ensure a safer, more prosperous globe. Chinese have looked at that and said, we like that idea. What we want is a world that’s made safe for Chinese business. We want to be able to run the world the way that we think it should be run. We don’t care about personal freedoms. We don’t care about democracy. What we care about is making money for us and for our businesses. So we’re on board with that as a plan too. Let’s see how we can disrupt this global system in our favor.

What she accused China of doing is what the U.S. does—100% projection.

The entire transcript is a bunch of nonsense and cope.

I don’t really support Putin, but rather only his anti-imperialist position.

The massacre was obviously the work of NATO. Russia doesn’t gain much from this, considering they’re already in Ukraine and Putin won the election. And NATO is inhuman enough to pull something like this out of desperation to destabilize Russia. It’s another horrible tragedy committed by the heartless ruling class of the empire.
