The Power of Stupid People In Large Groups

-

Trump just won the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Time to celebrate the mindless right wing cult that is MAGAaaa, weee... soaring on the wings of fake populism, covert/overt racism, intolerance, and fabrication of reality as we know it, wherever necessary to keep their hype train gooingggg... Yayy! This goes out to you MAGA, and also to all those voters lazy enough to fall for Trump's fake "populist, fix the economy, anti incumbent" narratives. Trump is literally going to make America great again you don’t even know!
Their policy? Oh that would be deregulating Capitalism to create even MORE Capitalism, so even more Capitalists can be even MORE free to scam the American people. It's going to be great. It would also include kicking out all the criminal evil immigrants, even though native citizens commit far more crimes statistically than documented/undocumented immigrants combined, even though immigrants are the foundation of the U.S. labor system, and even though the U.S. was literally built by generations of immigrants, but hey screw it, it doesn't have to make sense, just as long as we scapegoat the immigrants in typical Republican fashion. Trump policy would also include tax cuts for the wealthy no doubt, that should be helpful, need that trickle down economics! We can also expect more anti-abortion policy, more outlawing of pornography, more banning of books and censoring of free speech, and more anti anything science, and so any hopes to answer the looming climate change death sentence is almost certainly screwed in the next 4 yrs, nice!—I mean how representative of the everyman. Great stuff.
Their most common arguments to defend this policy against critics?? Why that would be simply calling things "fake news" of course, easy peasy. Or how about a little moving of the goalposts, maybe some adhom insult, maybe some online trolling, and then top it all off with some trusty gaslighting of course. These always really help explain the validity of their arguments. And their most common forms of expression to make these arguments?? Why, the cry laugh emojieeee “🤣" and the "LOLZ and LFMAO", using ALL CAPS!!!, with some exclamation points!!!!, yayy, soo coool, so substantive, how do they do it??
Trump is such a strong leader tough guy though. Refusing to transfer power last election and all? The whole vulture Capitalist thing, a convicted felon who can’t vote, own a gun, or even hold public office in several states? A bigoted, racist, liar? Who stripped away reproductive rights? What a total bad ass broh. He’s a true rebel against the system. He’s really going to bring big change and revolution. (ch'ya right, if revolution means destruction of society as we know it)
Those 91 criminal charges against him, those are all fake deep state attacks to take him down broh, cuz he’s a super anti-establishment boss, so they tried to use “lawfare” against him but it failed.
His smug narcissistic indifference is so based and charismatic. His narcissistic, sociopathic no-filter really means he’s a straight shooter that tells it like it is, and that he's not lying to us at all. And you know screw it if he does lie anyway, as long as he beats the Libs cuz that’s all that matters. THEY are the real enemy trying to make the world trans and woke and stuff.
The Left just cries "fascism", even though Trump did sorta undermine democracy by orchestrating an attempted overthrow of the government to stop the certification of the 2020 election so he could retain power. And well he does demonize immigrants and minorities. He does want to centralize power as an authoritarian by destroying the administrative & regulatory state, and fill it with total loyalists. He did form a hyper-nationalistic political cult, actively suppressing any kind of dissent and scrutiny against it, not to mention he literally said he’d be a dictator, there's always that. And well he's kind of acted like a dictator, plans to in the future, but no he doesn't deserve the term "fascist"! That's just the Libs and their fake outrage.
But hey even if he does act like a dictator, whatever, we have no principles or logical consistency. He really should just be the King already and stuff anyway. God wants him to be!
Plus Trump loves money and stuff too, which is reallly cool, so much so that a jury found him guilty of bank, tax, and insurance fraud. But again that’s mostly just politicized lawfare stuff the Dems were conspiring on.
He’s all about the working class like he says, even though he kinda did outsource some 200,000 manufacturing jobs under his last administration, and cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations.
He’s all about free speech, even though he did kinda sue Bill Marr over a joke about him, sued CNN for running negative stories on him, wants to punish flag burning for up to a year in jail, wants to open up libel laws to sue journalists, and gag ordered the Environmental Protection Agency from telling the hard truth about climate change.
He’s super anti-war too, um even though he kinda did keep us in Iraq, kept us in Afghanistan, massively increased drone strikes, packed his administration with war mongering officials, ripped up the Iran Nuclear agreement, pardoned war criminals of Black Water for killing civilians on purpose in Iraq, says he wants to go to war with Mexico to "go after the drug cartels", and said Biden wasn’t supporting Israel strong enough during Israel's genocidal campaign this past year.
So yeah, special thanks shout outs to ALL those who voted Trump back in for totally f*king over everyone and the planet now.

The American people have "fucked around"... and now they're going to "find out", with the right wing extremist policy now to come. Our systems and everyday life are about to get a whole lot worse.

(Watch Video: "The Tipping Points of Climate Change — and Where We Stand | Johan Rockström | TED"   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl6VhCAeEfQ We're nearly halfway through the 2020s, dubbed the most decisive decade for action on climate change. Where exactly do things stand? Climate impact scholar Johan Rockström offers the most up-to-date scientific assessment of the state of the planet and explains what must be done to preserve Earth's resilience to human pressure.) Everything else is meaningless if the planet is uninhabitable. We have 5 years— we are halfway through the "decisive decade" to answer this existential breakdown of our planet.  The political horse races for who the next president will be don't matter, our little Movement echo chambers don't matter, we need all hands on deck, visceral grass roots action to put the brakes on Carbon NOW.  Probably time to get disruptive...  Meaning bodies on the gears of industry, mass civil disobedience...

Critical Cohesion

In a time where new hybrid movements seem to flash up every single day; where special interest causes abound due to the many different, yet connected problems we face; consolidating ourselves and maintaining cohesion in the activist community is critical.  Given that society is a deep, complex synergy of social, biological, economic, environmental, and technical factors; engaging platforms that are holistically thinking facilitates more complete and relevant understandings. The problems out there share a common systemic source, and have common systemic solutions. Ideas and concepts are realized in their full implications within the context of others. There’s a natural synergy of understanding when things are brought together, conceptually. While ideas must continue to evolve with fresh new approaches, too much reinventing the wheel and launching new initiatives of off-shoots and groups can spread us too thin, and fragment otherwise unified efforts. The even greater damage is the er...

Just the two hottest days on Earth in over 100,000 years this week that's all, as the globe heats up and becomes unlivable.  Our sauntering collective “path to zero emissions by 2050” is nonsense and harmful. So too is simply escaping to remote communes, planting trees, growing food in our backyards, or any other matter of escapism and "personal responsibility" as any kind of complete solution to this existential threat. We can't live in a fantasy, we need to start taking environmental sustainability seriously. Society needs Industrial level change at this critical point - hard caps on emissions, with binding pass/fail laws that are enforceable and severely punishable. To do this we need to target systemic change at the political structure of human decision making itself; gutting money from politics to fundamentally delink Capitalist control over society, to be able to accrue necessary political power, in order to pass Sustainability laws as soon as possible. We have ...
