    It's so funny to see the Biden admin do exactly what we said it would for all these months just 1 week after the election while there are still clowns who think this guy is "harm reduction"

      not just what we said it would do, what the campaign said it would do

      none of that counted for as much as how smart the clowns were for figuring out the 12d chess

        Nothing will fundamentally change.

        Also this reduces the harm which will not be fundamentally changed.

        Also this preserves the structures which will increase the harm the next time the right takes over because nothing changed again.

    Germany accepted 2 million refugees last year.

    Biden wants to accept 125k.

      Germany accepted 2 million refugees last year.

      That's a ridiculously fake number that gets thrown around by nazi agitprop. Whoever told you that either wants you to believe in the Great Replacement or got duped by somebody who does. Germany had a total of 183k applications for refugee status last year, and most of these were turned down, only 45k were granted refugee status. Merkel's government isn't refugee-friendly at all, they have constantly tightened immigration restrictions aside from the one-time decision to take in nearly 1M refugees in 2015.

    Online anarchists unironically trumpeting "push Biden left" as a viable strategy for months has done more to make me lean more ML than any theory has.

      I think most of these "anarchists" are just libs who like :anarchy: as an aesthetic. I have yet to meet an actual, principled Anarchist bringing up the "push Biden left" argument - i've mostly met Anarchists who were tough as nails street kids who live in squats or students who spend every weekend as part of the black block. I've yet to meet any Anarchist irl who's actually a milquetoastesque electoralist watching V*ush. Seriously, this board needs to get over their hangup with Anarchism - i disagree on fundamentals with them just as much as any other ML, but every single Anarchist i've come across did more praxis every day than your average extremely online Leftist does in their entire life. They even tend to read more theory, too! Leftist activism in my country would be a joke without the effort of the Anarchists. These are good people doing good work, they deserve our respect and support.

      Sorry for the rant, it's just something that needs to be said here. I understand where you're coming from, of course. I've become more ML every time some shitlib on r/breadtube went McCarthyist on "tankies". There's something about their smug, ignorant imperialism-stanning that just makes me want to give Stalin a long, big socialist fraternal kiss. But i do not count them as Anarchists, they just do not provide any reason for that besides liking to slap that label on themselves.

        I respect the rant. Knowing very few leftists irl I do only really have online to draw my experience from. Thats why I like to call them "online" anarchists because the more online ones are, as you describe, the smug shitlib aesthetic chasers. Only support for the irl anarchists out in the shit doing real praxis.

      My experience is that anarchists go through a pupil stage where they are still mostly radlibs. They'll grow up soon into a wobbly, anti civ anarchist or maoist depending on what kind of gems you expose them to.

      There is a rare case of neotic anarchists who remain in pupil phase. These are called professors

      At this rate, it'll likely get worse.

      Suddenly wonder if voting Republican is how I'm supposed to do harm reduction.

    They're going to destroyed in 2022 midterms. It's not even been a month since he won presidency and everything is stacking up against them.

        It's theoretically possible if they had the congress and the senate, appointed Donny Boi to the highest role they were allowed to appoint him to (easier if they give him a deep red seat to win) then just impeached/resigned their way down the line of succession.

    More evidence of a White House in which Biden still thinks he's VP.

    In a way, having Biden be the Pres allows the exact same immigration as Trump without any of the media attention. So maybe...worse than Trump? It's just Biden and his campaign are saying the quiet part quiet and the loud part loud.
