One of the most hideous things associated with the rise of the right is the eugenicist insistence on mapping or measuring people’s intelligence. I hate that even lefties now insult people by bringing up their IQ. IQ is a scam, but also our worth is not in our intelligence.

“More the return of normalcy kind of fascist” is such a beautiful admission of how much fascism has always been a part of the culture in the US.

For all the people who are shocked by the emergence of overt fascism in the US, and feel the need to attribute it to Trump, I wrote this summary of where the US stood back in 2014, when Obama was president and Trump hadn’t even announced his bid.

Is it too much to hope that at least one western politician is being haunted by the thought of blood on their hands? Just one Macbeth scene. Anthony Blinken would probably be my first realistic seeming choice.

Genuinely curious what people with these views make of anti-colonial struggles of liberation across the global south “centering Marx” in the mid-20thC. Were they being contrarian?

Is there some 4chan op to make Harris look bad or something?

It’s like they’re playing some sadistic game where they dare each other to shit on their MAGA base. Where’s Miller in all this? I can’t help but imagine he’s sat fuming somewhere, given he’s the only one who seems committed to some ideological vision the rest are fucking up.

It’s still a saw. It’s still Marxism.

I just watched a panel on msm present the supposedly bullish case that we can’t be in a mere bubble because all the banks made higher than expected earnings. I’m not quite sure what else they expected to happen in a bubble.

You ever get the impression like Liberals pretend that you only have to act when you have power because it excuses their own inaction and ignores their own powerlessness?

I like how “covert” is in quotes, given this story would more accurately be described as “Trump publicly gives CIA permission for overt action in Venezuela.”

Has a single leftist with any kind of platform ever publicly queried why they are one of the tiny few who do? If I ever suddenly raced to a few hundred thousand followers, I would be very publicly sus as fuck, first and foremost.

Trump didn’t light the fire, period. It was long lit when he started fanning the flames.

There’s literally nothing left of liberal ideals, and there hasn’t been for decades. If liberals actually believed in their ideals, they’d be as pissed at Democrats as leftists are.

Welp, I guess we’ve given up on stopping monopolies entirely.

He helped commit genocide after lying through his teeth to become leader. I hope the people trying to make this revisionism stick are getting paid at least.

What good is being wrong, and winning?

“It’s time to stop treating health and work in isolation” is such an insidiously evil phrase.

The fact that they managed to normalize “spin” as a standard government tool was a very early red flag. Anything to add, ALASTAIR CAMPBELL?
