AOC, Gaza, and the Future of the Democratic Party  - Scahill and Grim for Drop Site 

If you think these guys are wrong, we are not fighting for the same things, while you try to convince the world that we are, which is helping no one.  In fact, it's hindering the ability for anyone to do so.  Intellectual dishonestly is a real fucking problem with people who want to be or appear righteous, but don't care to try to truly understand what that actually tangibly means for people who aren't like them or of their world and/or geological location (this includes people from the north/coasts that don't give a shit to understand the millions of people who are trapped under oppressive and racist govts in the south/mid-west).  Instead they must convince you, the person who for an entire lifetime has watched incrementalism provide the slowest, dumbest, often counter-productive (non) results, that, "you just don't understand the long game, mannnn! Harm reduction is the only answer," which is extremely subjective, has little to no scientific basis or agreed upon definition, and only counts certain people's lives to matter in "reducing harm." No one is saying it's not a valid theory, just that it has little real world meaning in today's turbo-paced technological, economic, and cultural acceptance of human beings as calculable expendable meatbags. When I hear privileged liberals, people who present themselves as leftists, carelessly throwing around that theory, it makes me think of out of touch boomers, even though they're Gen Xers or Millennials. I don't hear a lot of the 35 and unders treating the modern version of that concept very seriously.  That is a very specific kind of poly-sci addict outdated elitism that needs to be called out for what it is, which is more like, I'm comfortable, so don't rock the boat too much or do the minimum and just wait and see-ism. There are a lot of people who know what we're up against better than you do, and hug-tapping, I feel you bro bullshit doesn't help if you just keep pushing the same assholes and ideas that got us here.  Their only alternative is to accept it's either this type of piece of shit over here or this other type of piece of shit that's in front of me, instead of publicly destroying both of them every chance they get. 

We don't have time for your incrementalism in 2026, if we ever did.  Loud and brash fuckers along side the calm and cool assholes who only look down upon the fascists are what we need. Do everything out in the open, or you're doing nothing at all because it can all get systematically dismantled behind closed doors.  Use the law, publicly, loudly. When you get a corrupt judge that creates a case-law that is blatant corruption, tally that shit up, name names, present it to the people.  And when the nazis at CNN, CBS, FOX, MSNBC or the other pro-fascism legacy media keep insisting on bringing up stupid shit like, "BUT HASAN!" or racist shit like "BUT TEH MUSLIMS!" do what the right has been doing for 30 years, talk over them and talk about what you want to talk about, everywhere you go. Call out their very blatant racism and laziness. Attack them for what they are, fascism laundering services, they'll perk up to that shit.  We don't need them anymore, they need us.  It is hilarious how self-described himbo Hasan is fucking all of this shit up for them, they don't know what do with him. They thought they had perfectly fostered this timeline and expertly drawn up taking out a public "Communist" in their blueprints (Has is not a communist, just as he is not a religious Muslim, but it's perfect to neither denounce, nor explicitly identify as either in order to expose their openly racist and fascist perspective in their quest to try to take him out). They didn't expect someone who is unbothered and sticks to his points, admits when he made a mistake, or points out when the opposition makes a good point, before destroying it.  They certainly didn't count on that "mark" being good looking (we're all either Bernie or goblins in their minds) and funny.  Everyone forgets how disarmingly funny he can be. They didn't know that chosen "Commie" would make their pundits and talking heads very visibly frustrated, left feeling insanely jealous or not be able to deny that when he has on those form fitting suits and thick mustache they can't help but quietly say to themselves, "god-damn."  Don't ever let them figure out what to do with you either.

Against the ruling class, slowly stopping the bleeding as your continuously poked in every limb, organ, orifice leads to you bleeding to death, even as every hole is very slowly bandaged.  The only thing we have is our bodies, our labor and our cash, your vote is not even top three at this point because our system is so corrupt.  If you don't understand that, the game that keeps your mind busy even when your not and pays your bills is never going to change. The only thing incrementalists have been offering for 40 years is just to maybe slightly slow down fascism, while not telling you that the ruling class will push you back 5 steps if you dare to take 1 forward.  I'm telling you, these dumb motherfuckers saw The Terminator, Robocop, Blade Runner, Dirty Hairy as kids and saw life goals instead of a warning, and you are treating them like they're the same old mascot assholes that won't leave.  Those who grew up worshiping Opie and Andy, the original Perry Mason, or even the antifascists on Hogan's Heroes aren't calling the shots anymore. They're strategically being terrified by their heirs and their younger peers so they can milk as much money from them as possible without asking or having to provide a direct reason for it.  They want to do Cyberpunk (OG, not just the video game) in the real world and they're doing everything they can to make it happen.  They are mentally ill, so they don't care that in those same science fiction sources, dystopian societies rarely keep the engineers and financiers safe from the psychopaths who helped create it by acquiring power and wealth through planned chaos.

A public neutering can get you into positions of power, and using that position to talk about things from a different perspective might even help you to change the course of an ongoing public debate, but none of it means anything if it's all for show to save face, and only for political purposes.  It has to be because these issues, these human lives mean something to you and you need to remind others why those lives matter to them, too.  If you don't mean it, ultimately, that is what the public sees, someone who only has their back when it's politically expedient.  That's all we've ever had, don't think of it as some brand new thing when it's a supposed progressive doing it.  Many of them want a pat on the back for saying things that "MODERATES" were saying 15-20 years ago.  Stop being so fucking predictable.  It's why it takes very little organization or brains to beat you. 

 

I have to stop editing this shit, it never gets posted because I just keep adding shit to it.
