  • Dems need a candidate who’s already famous. They need one totally unchained, unhinged, who would say awful but barely not illegal things in public, so they’re plastered on every news outlet constantly.

    They need a liberal Trump.

    What chuds like about Trump is that he jokes around and appears to be passionate about what he talks about, and instead of backing down when challenged, will face it head on and double down. Someone who will spit in the face of his enemies without apologizing after. Get anyone who can riff and mock their enemies while standing firm on their positions.

    They need someone who’s a little iffy about vaccines, who will print money and send people fat checks with their face stamped on it, who will straight up collude with the powerful in public, so calling it out does nothing.

    I dont think they actually like any of this, just the way he does it inspires confidence. They care very little about the actual policy specifics.

    That’s all they really want is confidence. They aren’t confident in their place within a changing world and want someone who exudes that confidence so they can delegate their trust to someone who has it where they have none.

    I only said Hasan because he’s funny, comfortable being an asshole, confident, and isn’t a pushover.

    will write a blank check to Netanyahu to finish the genocide quickly with whatever means necessary.

    This is literally happening as we speak now that the election is over. How many Gazans will be left for Trump to genocide? How many months early will Israel complete their ethnic cleansing due to Trump? Is there a rate that can occur faster than the billions of dollars we are currently surprising?

    I voted for your stupid fucking genocide candidate so fuck off.






  • With regards to the Global South I expect the effects are going to be fairly immediate because China is the country that’s helping Global South develop and build out infrastructure

    This is actually why I say those effects will take a while for the global south. Construction projects usually take years before their utility is realized. In the meantime, there is no alternative to the dollar for the global south. They cannot oppose unilateral sanctions yet, nor can they organize against US imperialism.

    I’ve been pleasantly impressed by the rate of progression in recent years, but I’m not getting my hopes up for an early miracle. I’ll pray for the collapse of the dollar, but my bet is on 10-20 years before the US cannot wield their economic posture as a weapon against most of the world.

    also seeing how progressive reforms and leadership can actually make a change for the positive in your community. There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the law, with enforcing said law or with those who chose to enforce it, so long as law enforcement is held to account and not allowed to be overwhelmed with violent conservatives with authoritarian boners.

    Thank you for describing exactly why it is copaganda.




  • Every single person in China knows about this event. And the average Chinese person’s understanding is closer to reality about it than that of the average Westerner. Sure Chinese people’s understanding of it is overly sympathetic to the government, and they scrub internet posts about the event, but Americans have a completely cartoonish propaganda view. Listen to the reporters who were there, not random redditors with a hate boner.
