They say: “Go back to your country, dirty Latino!” You think, fine. I will go back to my country. Then, in your country, you decide to vote for politicians that align the most with your personal and national interests. These parties are considered “commie” to Palantir. They then bomb your country and get you killed inside your own home, in your own country.
They’re so psychopathic that they hate you if you’re inside America, and hate you if you’re outside America. If you worry about their politics because their politics affect your country, you’re supposed to “shut up” and worry about your own country instead. You worry about your own country, and they will use your national politics as a precedent to foreign intervention. If you’re suffering or not, it doesn’t matter. If you leave your country because it was made unlivable by foreign intervention, you’re supposed to go back and “fix it.”
You can’t win, they’re just psychopaths
The fucking gusanos have gotten real political power now. Rubio was the one who ‘masterminded’ the Maduro kidnapping. And now they want Colombia, Cuba, and Mexico.
The fucking gusanos will be the Israelis of the New World, so easily identifiable as some of the worst people around.
this type of stuff makes me mad but just emboldens me more. like if you hate what im all about im probably doing something right mr billionaire grim reaper ceo
Always good for these guys to remember that they’re only ever 9mm away from a real bad day
I’ve been meaning to read this, thanks for the reminder.
I finished If We Burn by the same author. Good book showing how anarchic/horizontal movements squandered revolutionary potential multiple times.
Lenin predicted the same damn thing about how horizontal movements are doomed to fail without a principled Vanguard Party and disciplined revolutionary militant movement. And he has been historically proven right every time.
An example in modern history: The dismantling of the Occupy Walstreet movement by the bourgeois state apparatus i.e. the state police, FBI, DHS, NSA etc.

Edit: Forgot to ask. Is it a good enough of a book to add to my ‘to be read’ list?
I’d say so. It was an easy read, I only felt that it was a tad long. It took longer than I expected to get through it compared to the other books I am reading.
Yeah, I gotta read that, one of these days.
I’m tired of feeling scared every single day of my life when these assholes have never known fear in their lives.
The thing is the state of the reactionary is fear. They know nothing but it.
Sure some of the top bourgeoisie live charmed lives after the fall of the USSR and don’t really worry because they think they’ve got the whole thing locked down after winning the cold war. But not all of them feel that way, many of them exist in a state of anxiety when they see groups of workers together without management, when they see large protests. Deep in the back of their minds they know what they stand atop is unjust and that the only way to maintain it is via violence and propaganda and if those fail they know they’re in trouble.
As to your average chud? They live in constant fear. Jumping at shadows. Brown people near them. Poor people, homeless. They clutch their guns tightly in their suburban castles fearful of tax increases, of people different from them, of not getting their way. Imaging studies have shown reactionaries have enlarged amygdalas, the part of the brain responsive to fear. Yes they’re angry too, yes they play up the fear, but they’re genuinely easily frightened people who weaponize that fear and twist it into rage rather than thought.
In a way one could say the necessity of surveillance like this is driven by fear. If they didn’t worry they wouldn’t pay for it. It exists because of fear.
Real justified fear and fear of a fantasy are different. They’ve never seen their fears actualize and most likely never will. Their fear is like what a toddler has for The Boogeyman. Our fear is knowledge that there are is in fact a Boogeyman or Booygmen in the house right now. I decided to turn that into a Simpsons joke instead of concluding my serious paragraph seriously but you get my point
Yes, this exactly. Just took me 3 times as many words and an extra 40 minutes to say it.
I kinda didnt finish my thoughts there, so don’t give shooting from the hip too much credit. Much like a child’s imaginary fear or a horror movie that hits well, there is a thrill to it, cause to some extent they know it’s imagined. That kind of fear is fun. Ghost stories for racists. Real fear comes with a sense of helplessness
There’s a reason these people loved Red Dawn and the earlier Soviet America scare films it drew on, besides “dead commies”.
Their fear is justified. They know they’re living in a fantasy world propped up by an unjust system based on exploitation doomed to failure. They know we’ll eat them and undo as much damage as possible in the end. Monarchy has proven that. Capitalism is just monarchy with cognitive dissonance. That’s why we’ve been seeing the massive increase in surveillance for the past twenty years. They can smell their shit coming back around.

Oh that reminds me of something
From Lord of the Rings to The Dark Knight Rises we hear the same story again and again and again: swarthy hordes are surreptitiously manipulated behind-the-scenes by crooked wizards and deceptive illusionists — often hiding in plain sight, in our midst! — and lay siege to everything that is balanced and well-rounded and pure and good and holy and white and which by rights should be eternal. The manipulators do so for no discernible reason other than greed and ressentiment. It’s in every instance nothing but the bourgeois terror of a worker uprising led by a Communist party made intelligible to adjacent social classes by appealing to their individualistic self-esteem, the claim that there are yet darker parts of the world above which the imperial poor can still stand tall.
Thank both of you for the insight. I guess fear is fear. But I see a very real difference in this fear. One is the fear of repercussions for being a bad person. A guilty fear. Or overblown fear, fear of the imaginary. Fear of things that are not actually a major threat to you and you are in fact quite safe. Self induced fear.
Contrasting with the fear of the real. Fearing actually existing oppression and violence. Fear that any one financial set-back could make me homeless. Fear that my human rights are being taken away (because they’ve already taken some away and are working on taking more away). Fear that I’ll be snatched off the street in an unmarked van or otherwise arrested for attending a peaceful protest or posting the wrong thing in a private discord channel, because that is actually happening. Fear that I’ll end up in one of that many concentration/labor camps that they already have built and are building. Etc.
I guess I don’t really care if they are scared of monsters under their beds or spooky shadows. I wish their fears were more justified. That they actually had something to be afraid of. I yearn for the days that their fear of a potential future revolution that might take away their profits and yachts, becomes fear of a currently ongoing revolution, and they are scared because revolutionaries have already raided 2 of the mansions/bunkers/private islands nearest to them.
I suppose I should clarify that, yes, not all fears have a basis in reality, and chuds are such example. And I sympathize with yours, considering the material situation on ground does not look good for us.
I don’t mean to downplay nor make false equivalences.
The US can’t overthrow a government even when they manage to kidnap their leader anymore.
When my time comes, I’ll just flash the AI-powered robo dog hunting me a QR code that makes it log onto the firefox browser that’s mandatoraly integrated into it’s raspberi PI 2 (by NVIDIAkl) BIOS so it shows the operator PPB.
By that point, combining normal inflation with military contractor price gouging that’ll probably be a $50million dollar mistake on their part.
A single PPB in the mainframe of US military hardware would probably cause $10,000,000 in repairs

We’re getting world war 3 with china before a revolution in the imperial core aren’t we?
All this desperation keeps reminding me about the “Davidson window” (war against China by 2027)
May our defeat be swift…
Maybe it can have an ending closer to Russia’s vis a vis WW1
For that to work, there’d have to be a Bolshevik Party that people would throw in with just to get out of the war.
And I don’t think a revolutionary party can rise as any potential Lenin like leader would be preemptively murked by the military in the dark of night.
Yeah. It only worked in tsarist Russia because the okhrana simply didn’t have the technology necessary to kill him before he could slip away from them.
I’m glad pretenses are a thing of the past, actually
Eh, I’m pretty sure if this existed during the Cold War, they’d have admitted it was for killing commies then too. Hiding that specific type of Western government agency and bourgeois individual and institutional bloodlust behind paper thin pretenses about general “national security”, wasn’t really a thing for all that long, just a short blip after the USSR was dissolved.
a short blip after the USSR was dissolved
That’s when I came of age so I’m biased
Yeah, same, I was born after the dissolution so I too came up in the era of War on Terror and “National Security” and Cold War Counterintelligence systems replaced by Counterterrorism. Dealt with my fair share of washed up Cold Warriors harassing innocent kids because they’d lost the power and authority to do much more or go after adults who matter.
But I know enough about the Cold War period to know what was a return to prewar paradigms that’s now being lost yet again and what was a brief blip of throwing a tarp over old Cold War toys and continuing to use stuff no one has any clue how to replace in peacetime.

CO-FOUND? MORE LIKE CAN’T FIND! DOH! HO HO HO HO!
I hear he named his company after the special Stones of Middle-Earth used by the bad guys to communicate.
A PHONE IN TRUMP’S OFFICE WOULD BE CHEAPER! DOH! HO HO HO HO!
I know it never went away.
please continue talking about how much you hate communism, co-founder of evil ass survailance company
The global south will weather climate change better due to us being used to hardships. People like him will go on about “masculinity” while his delicate fingers break from trying to dig out of the massive pile of dirt his bunker got stuck in after a mudslide.
