They’re so propagandized, they take it as a given, or as a first principle before the conversation can even begin, that the US is a democracy with the best form of government.
IMO we need to keep repeating to these people that the US is not a democracy, its a capitalist dictatorship, and it used liberal / parliamentary “democracy” to kill off an entire continent of native peoples, and has since been the most evil empire in world history.
US liberals are even more far gone than the strasserists they’re trying their best to emulate. Platner went to the middle east as a troop and then a blackwater mercenary 6 times to kill innocent civilians. When we point this out its considered “divisive”.
We don’t care who wins in your himmler vs hitler elections, the US is a one-party capitalist empire that must be overthrown for the world to have peace.
class consciousness
For US liberals, the best “class conciousness” they can come up with is strasserism - Supporting people like Platner who love killing middle easterners, and align with US supremacy and nationalism, and promise to keep the imperialist superprofits flowing to the imperial core.
Apologizing for a murderous imperialist.
Your “evidence” if from US government employee / evangelical christian Adrian Zenz, who doesn’t speak Chinese, has never been to the region, has zero evidence for his claims, and is part of the US project of demonizing China, and imputing its fanatacism for killing Muslims on its enemies.
Here’s a good short documentary on it: China’s war on poverty
Pretty fitting that the US democrats main focus candidate right now is a former Abu Ghraib torture camp prison guard, who repeatedly says he signed up for the US military because he wanted to kill people.
Thx. I’ll also check out the two writers you mentioned.
There’s a tendency for “soft-leftists” to co-opt already existing terms in the Marxist canon, de-fang them of any revolutionary rhetoric, repackage them, and market it to the masses. Mark Fisher, Zizek, Naomi Klein, are the major culprits.
Yes, the best book on this is Yasha Levine - Surveillance Valley . You can find the audiobook on torrents.
The purpose the the very first DoD networks, was as an anti-communist counter-insurgency tool, mainly to aid in the collection of data and the fight against communists in SE asia, particularly Vietnam.
I’ve found this also. He’s a liberal with zero class analysis or materialist literacy. If you’ve ever read his books, like his main one, enshittification, it reads like a middle-school age baby leftist wrote it.
It’s a testament to the sad state of US and canadian education that he’s considered a pioneer in any field.
Obligatory US troop copypasta
You see american choppers in the bright blue sky, hundreds and hundreds of screaming american soldiers drop from it, you look across the field and see the tanks rolling in. You hear a loud explosion and realise that the shrine you have protected for thousands of years with tooth and nail is destroyed by the empire, you come to the realisation that this is very probably the end of your people who’ve struggled to survive all these centuries.You realise that very soon there is going to be a river of blood of your people here; white phosphorus and depleted uranium will be shot very soon, deforming babies for decades to come, and millions of your people are gonna be killed. Your millennia old language and religion will be wiped out, you’re very likely the last of your kind.
Suddenly, an American soldier kicks you down, puts his foot on your neck and aims his standard ar-15 on the side of your head all while screaming; you realise you’re gonna die, and you won’t have to see the destruction of your community that you fostered so carefully all these centuries for.
Just before he pulls the trigger, you think to yourself, “To be fair to him, he probably had a low GPA in highschool and didnt have a health-care, those are notoriously hard to get in America”.
What’s your use case for doing this.
Yep I’ve found this too. DDG has more SEO / AI slop search results than nearly any other search engine.
Same. They seem great for local apps like keepass, but it could potentially be as dangerous as passwords if using a provider like google.
We’re gonna start cracking down on the rage-bait posting a little bit.
