    No, I got that feeling too. It’s insane how much of a warmonger Biden is. The comment about North Korea reminded me of how Bush Sr described Iraq before we invaded.

    Biden’s foreign policy is going to be neoconservative as fuck

    I think someone on Twitter made a Sorkin parody where Trump loses the election because he’s got Covid, and Joe Biden refuses to accept the results. Joe calls for a runoff election so Trump can give the American people the campaign they deserve. Trump wins that election, but he learns a lesson about patriotism and governs as a changed man.

    Not really. In terms of foreign policy, he’s an absolute monster. He supported the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, supported Somoza in Nicaragua, and helped pull off a military coup in South Korea.

    In his domestic policy, he seems a lot more nice, but he was basically our first neoliberal president. He was one of the first to dress up austerity and deregulation under a facade of faith.

    He has, however, had one of the best post-presidency careers of all time. He’s condemned Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and built houses for habitat for humanity. In that regard, he’s a complex figure because his actions post-presidency often contradict what he did as president.

    Frank Hassle is one of those youtubers who follows random people around with a camera and asks funny/stupid questions.

    It’s a bunch of stupid drama, but basically Boogie and Frank Hassle have been going at each other for a while, and it culminated in Keemstar holding a “debate” between them where Boogie apparently made several death threats against Hassle.

    I say apparently because the only thing we know about the debate is what Keemstar says about it. He doesn’t want to release it because he thinks Boogie was having a mental breakdown while filming it.

    Anyways, Hassle was in Boogie’s town visiting a friend. He decided to visit Boogie’s house while streaming, and when he arrived Boogie went apeshit and pulled a gun.

    Boogie ranted about the castle doctrine (which isn’t a thing where he lives) and ended up firing a “warning shot” at Hassle.

    That’s basically the story as it is now.











  • This isn't an example of identity politics. This is an example of how vulgar materialist critiques can lead you down the wrong path. There is a genuine material contradiction between first and third world workers, but that contradiction in and of itself is not antagonistic. I was trying to explain how leaving your analysis at the level of mere contradictory vs non contradictory will end up failing the movement.
