reticent soldiers, do the right thing you will be reincarnated as a lotus flower

source. looking for a translation of the announcement so I can add it as alt text/body text, preferably non-MTL. as for now, via Google Translate:

Statement issued by the Islamic Resistance (1):

Military Media of the Islamic Resistance

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

And permission has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, God is fully capable of giving them victory.

God Almighty has spoken the truth

In revenge for the pure blood of the Supreme Leader of the Muslims, His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Imam Sayyid Ali al-Husseini al-Khamenei, may his soul rest in peace, which was unjustly and treacherously shed by the criminal Zionist enemy, and in defense of Lebanon and its people, and as part of the response to the repeated Israeli attacks, the Islamic Resistance targeted, at midnight between Sunday and Monday, March 2, 2026, with a barrage of advanced missiles and a swarm of drones, the Mishmar al-Karmel missile defense site belonging to the Israeli enemy army south of the occupied city of Haifa. The Resistance leadership has always affirmed that the continuation of Israeli attacks and the assassination of our leaders, youth, and people gives us the right to defend ourselves and respond at the appropriate time and place.

The Israeli enemy cannot continue its aggression, which has lasted for fifteen months, without receiving a warning response to stop this aggression and withdraw from the occupied Lebanese territories.

This response is a legitimate defensive response, and those responsible and concerned must put an end to the Israeli-American aggression against Lebanon

And victory comes only from God, the Almighty, the Wise.

212 Ramadan 1447

whistleblower for the ministry of "well both sides have a point" confirms the sky is not red and is actually blue after year-long campaign to convince voters it doesn't really matter and we don't need to look into it

merchant class seizes power and starts a Wario Land timer on life as they exponentially delete the biosphere. you have half a millennia to install a DOTP before your planet is razed. the most dice roll bottleneck fathomable. if there are dead aliens and they developed like us we gotta one-up them quick gamers

Don't know if what I'm feeling is grounded in reality since I just had a particularly productive therapy session but I think I was feeling this beforehand too when I was scrolling this morning.

From what I'm seeing in the shift in posture, Stephen Miller blew his load and I assume Capital is getting antsy and is trying to cut off the Infinite Vice-Signal Machine. In a dark way, Alex Pretti was the perfect victim for the American public, and his execution was so blatantly appalling that it seems that that, alongside the general strike, is shocking the bourgeoisie into realignment with social liberalism for the first time since 2025's "mandate".

If it is the case that the leash is being pulled, expect to see the internal contradictions between the accelerationist cadre (ICE, Miller, Noem, Bovino, Thiel) and the thermostatics (Trump, Cruz, Vance) start to heighten. (EDIT: it, at least rhetorically, begins) The state-integrated Proud Boys and Oathkeepers on the ground are going to try to hit the gas on the tension pedal now that the leash for Unlimited GTA LARP might be tugged. They want to provoke the race war as much as they possibly can before the party ends. Miller, if competent, will take an L, fall into the background, and bide his time until we approach US midterms for another ramping up of domestic repression. They seem to want to make Noem and/or Bovino the fall guys for this, though I'd laugh if they somehow take Miller down with them.

If you are in the USA and my vibe meter holds (meaning the admin takes the L on this and retreats), you should be operating as if this is an armistice that will last, reasonably, at most until midterm elections. Even if they fold on their aura-farming about 'canceling the elections', treat it like they won't and immediately seek to organize with cool people within your area. gather the tools, strategies and general means to defend against and disrupt militant repression.

If I'm wrong (the admin doubles down), then we are truly in the Decades Week, agitate as much as possible to the laymen and rally for shows of worker power, as well as linking up with your local socialists and workers, of course. The former path's goals are worthwhile too if you and your comrades can muster them in time.

The best time to get offline and talk to the people in your area was when you first gained political consciousness. The second best time is now.

like yeah I get they have to decimate our will to herd us into complacency but man it sucks can you not do that you're kinda pissing me off

we can make it if we try

I'm going to keep agitating this at the general cohort of Unalloyed Posters, especially now. There is no excuse at this point. You will not imagine socialism into reality. You will not imagine us out of capitalism. You need to do what you can as soon as you can and the time is and always has been Now to start locking in.

Go outside and organize. By organize, I specifically mean join a local chapter of an existing socialist organization that exists and is real and is comprised of socialists and go to their meetings and events and demonstrations as much as life allows you to.

(EDIT: And if there are no local chapters--even if there ARE local chapters--get to know your neighbors and get to know your coworkers. An antisocial socialist is a contradiction upon themself. Talk to the people around you. Push yourself to put yourself out there. Combating alienation is praxis. The more communal a community is, the more will to resist it can summon. You hear it in Minneapolis right now--the people on the ground right now are fighting for their neighbors! Take the community out of communism and you get sadomasochism.)^1

I genuinely don't care if there's no organization that is aligned 1:1 with your sensibilities/preferences. If you actually care, you need to do the work to move the one that is closest to your sensibilities in that direction. Stop whinging over which specific one you join for fear of missing out on the vanguard party or whatever. My local DSA and PSL chapters coordinate with each other when prudent. Stop treating this like it's team sports. It's an unserious approach. You are not locked in forever to a specific org when you join it. You can change orgs. Membership is not a blood pact. You need to join an org first to do that, though. You need to join an org and you need to be an active part of your org.

Otherwise, please spare the world from irresponsible, ungrounded 'critique.' Without grounding in reality, without real organization and the insight it provides, it is utter drivel. Stop pre-emptively guarding yourself against disappointment. It's cowardly and pathetic. It's even more embarrassing than terminal vote-brain. At least voters walk their talk (voting and doing nothing for the next four years).

like are you telling me it's important to have the members of enforcement be well-read on the philosophy that is supposed to undergird The Founding Of The State. Are you telling me it is their job to Protect The Project. Are you telling me the only way to stop naked subversion of The Project by bad actors is by having A Force That Maintains The Project's Ideals. A Guard Of Sorts. Maybe One That Leads The Defense. A Leading Guard. A Guard At The Front. A Front Guard. I never considered that. Please, I'd love to talk with you about what else we could draw from this novel line of questioning you're putting down, I think we're onto something here.

Big Boss when the photos of him and Jeffrey Epstein get leaked to the press and he has to hold a presser to clarify that he was actually just MSF's Mossad contact

Trump will publicly "discover" that the Democrats are "running an illegal alien voter fraud ring" in districts that are up in the air. Trump will send ICE and the National Guard to vet polling stations (read: intimidate/black-bag minorities). The Dems will hem and haw about how this is illegal but in a way where they do not put physical resistance/security up to combat these measures. This will decimate turnout for the disenfranchised. Liberals will post about how they have to let you vote if you stay in line and you have to stay in line even if they black-bag you.

There will be a case that goes to the Supreme Court about this that will only be resolved after the counts are finalized and will either say, 6-3, that a) this is illegal but we can't redo the elections because of it, or b) this is legal, fuck you.
