Not once, not twice, not thrice, but FOUR FUCKING TIMES IN A ROW has the incumbent right wing government shown its fucking ass and gotten reelected. The same government that has overseen the privatization of the electric grid. We can’t elect the independence party because of CUBA AND BENEZUELA, we would have miraculously become communist overnight (if only there was a just god) but somehow the compradors who’ve been in power for thirty thousand years haven’t managed to upgrade the island’s status from US colony to permanent circus members.

On New Years Eve, virtually the entire island is without power. The gaggle of buffoons that runs this joint, a Canadian energy distribution racket known as LUMA, says it’ll take two days to restore electricity. 2 days LOL HOW CONVENIENT? Just in time for the entirety of New Years festivities!

Am I, along with every person who hasn’t been bitten by right wing bullshit, at the center of some cosmic joke?

It would be so funny if all these newly elected psycholibs taking Ls before they’re even seated actually faced consequences but they won’t because nothing good ever happens. These turbo dicks will be relected in 4 years. Instead of MAGA suddenly seeing the light and stringing up Elon, Vivek, and Trump, they’ll be hanging Indians.

Milei oversaw greater than >50% increase in poverty due to his dog brained libertarian policies and yet he has the highest approval rating of any Argentininian leader in 40 years because ROFL fuck Mestizos or some shit.

Please Xi, or the sentient alien recon team flying over New Jersey, evacuate the humans and living beings in the west that need to be evacuated, but turn the rest of us into a smoldering mess.

    No one is truly safe from right wing bullshit, everyone in the core has been 'bitten' to various degrees. Its like an airborne virus everyone ignores... The core needs a slow methodical rebuilding of class consciousness/self-awareness, nuclear war that magically hits just the chuds is no solution since there will always be the chud inside the survivors waiting to be revisionist scum because we are products of each other as well as our conditions. There's been a failure to capture the imagination of the masses so bad in the core its easier for them to dream of nuclear war than of anything remotely better. Nuclear war like other collapses won't be a damn reset-rapture neither, life is never so simple.

    2025 is going to be wild.

      It kinda reminds me of this quote

      The greatness of the strategy chosen by Marx and Tupac lies in that they refuse to grant the existence of a large gulf separating polite society from its target of exclusion, they reject the very conceit that their interlocutor is in a position to pass judgment on anybody. A Jewish “huckster” in 1840s Germany and a Black “gangster” in 1990s America — targets of untrammeled social scorn and vitriol — are held up in each case by the men as a reflection of the rotten society that deems itself so superior. They firmly assert: “We, or they, may not be innocent. But neither are you, or us.”

      Followed up by

      “Nothing human is alien to me.” This is what Marx chose as his maxim. And it’s apt, for it defines his entire body of work. At the same time he engaged in the project of identifying and understanding social classes and class struggle, he refused to imbue them with rigidity or eternality, or to establish — as colonizers self-servingly did — genetic and psychological hierachies. He did not see himself as outside of the class project he was analyzing. [36] This required him to insist on understanding “the rational kernel within the mystical shell,” the logic underlying what we deem the madness or even villainy of another — even the miserly capitalist. This is precisely what enables Marx to truly discover and understand the inner secrets of capitalism, far surpassing myriad predecessors who satisfied themselves with ever more strident and grandstanding denunciations of its evils.

        This is from Roderic Day's Really Existing Fascism, right? Good essay.

        We're in the process of change right now, points of fracture are already in place, its not going to happen right away and settlers and their big bourgeois masters can harp on their usual supremacy nonsense all they want, it won't affect the actual material world all that much, and eventually they will come to a point where neocolonialism' s spoils-bribes will no longer reach the mass of settlers. Anyway. if anything nuclear war is the core's last ditch murder-suicide hoping they can do one final lash at the non-core before its unstoppable rise and all their silly cudgels and levels of control seize function and the loot train halts.

          Thus are the settler petty-bourgeois mentality

          Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes. — V. I. Lenin, 1910. [1]

          {Right-Libertarians' }simplistic understanding of the causes of evil renders them nihilists. They are unable to conceive of class struggle as anything else other than the annihilation of whomever or whatever they have deemed other. [39]
