I’m not saying it’s good or bad, I’m saying it’s not the escalation you’re claiming it is. Iran is in an existential war against the world’s strongest superpower. It’s allowed to defend itself, and they have deemed that the best way to do that is to disrupt the global economy to the point that the war isn’t worth it. It’s quite an immediately effective strategy, too, and will hasten the end of the war far faster than bombing schools or whatever it is that the US’s strategy is.

All of the people Iran has attacked are directly aiding and abetting the criminal Americans.

So now the fascist GOP knows how 600k Californians voted? I guess we better hope that the guy in charge isn’t vindictive about people not supporting him.

TSA are just cops, and all cops are bastards.

But even if we ignore systemic issues with policing under capitalism, the fact remains that no, the job doesn’t have to be done, as evidenced by the fact that TSA fails penetration tests 90-95% of the time. They literally do not do the thing they were put in place to do, and nothing happens because of it. Terrorist attacks on planes are incredibly rare, and TSA does nothing to prevent them anyways. It’s all just theater to normalize law enforcement overreach.

The US murdered over a million civilians in Iraq.

Trump is the symptom, capitalism is the disease, socialism is the cure.

Fascism is a social disease that is injected by the bourgeoisie into the petit-bourgeoisie during times when capitalism is in crisis. They do this through propaganda and economic warfare like austerity coupled with tax cuts for the rich. This results in an economic downturn that hits the “middle class” the hardest (relatively - poor people are also fucked, but they had less to lose in the first place). Economic woes coupled with divisive and authoritarian propaganda and — boom — fascism.

So how do you stop it? Well, ultimately by dismantling capitalism and removing the power of the bourgeoisie. Otherwise fascist crises will just keep being manufactured.

There almost definitely was voter fraud in 2020, but a different party was doing it than MAGA thinks. They got better at it in 2024.

Life under capitalism, where 95% of your leaders are trying to think of better ways to exploit you.

I think it’s more likely that the ruling class owns both the USA and Israel, and use them together to accomplish their goals. AIPAC is just the mechanism of control and Zionists are just the useful idiots.
