Horrible… I hope Iran has the resources to double down on its missile strikes compared to operation true promise 2. And I hope they’ve got a clandestine aspect to their nuclear program as a contingent. There’s really no better guarantor of sovereignty or defense against invasion, as proven by the example of the DPRK, and counterexamples of the Libyan jamahariya and Baathist Iraq

If the US backs away from continuing to commit this genocide over petty interpersonal drama, that’s good but I can’t imagine a dumber timeline

So does this include FAFSA? Good luck Trump with your visions of a strong domestic economy when the US is intentionally completely isolated by sanctioning itself, all the experts are leaving for China and Europe, college is unaffordable and you decided to sink the only program making a degree somewhat feasible, and the immigrant precariat your agricultural policy relies on have all been deported. Great job Mr president sir really smart genius large brain moves, can’t wait to see what you do next to lash out as this ship sinks

Man this is not good. Assad sucks bad but he really did seem to me the least terrible option. Now any pretense of secularism is gone, openly Islamic fundamentalist groups are taking power; any facade of rights for women, religious minorities, other oppressed groups will fade into the background. I don't see HTS being anything of a bulwark to US or Israeli interests like Assad had been. Despite his lukewarm response to these things it seemed he at least was stopping Syria from becoming a base for that shit. Maybe I'm just stressed about nothing but it feels to me that an anti imperialist player has crumbled in this key region and I just can't imagine how this could be a positive development

Protect Hasan at all costs, despite his flaws he's fairly principled and a decent left voice in a sea of reactionary streamer shitheads.

They Want Us To Hate Each Other - Red Clarion (clarion.unity-struggle-unity.org)

Friendly reminder of where to direct your energy in the coming days. Organize, educate, agitate and maintain revolutionary optimism my friends. Don’t get caught in the trap of debating about this sham election with bad faith actors. Lets work to protect each other and build the world we want to live in ✊

Ummm ackchually 99% Hitler isn’t directly genociding me yet so technically this is just authoritarian :smug:

Both bourgeois parties are actively performing genocide in West Asia with a particular emphasis on Palestine right now. They both trip over each other trying to outdo one another’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. Both run concentration camps on the Mexico border. Both stoke hatred for LGBTQ+ people for cheap bigoted culture war points. Both crush strikes and protest movements. Both are imperialist servants to capital, and will do anything to further the military industrial complex, pharmaceutical industry, and finance groups which back them.

Fascism is capitalism in decay, it is a corporatist economic structure with brutal repressive elements towards labor, activists, and minority groups. It’s imperial domination and exploitation. It’s establishing a supremacist in-group mindset and stoking all manner of bigotry to redirect people’s grievances away from class consciousness and into oppressing their fellow man. We have all of that now, despite slight differences in rhetoric between the Dems and Republicans. Both parties materially support and facilitate exactly that structure. The USA is a fascist country and has always been the primordial archetype for that system. Voting under a liberal democracy is nearly meaningless given that the system is rigged by capital from the start, but running water for these exploitative bourgeois genicodaires is disgusting. Your vote acts as endorsement and lends legitimacy to exactly these crimes which WILL continue regardless of which ghoul occupies the White House.
