Wandering Adventure Party

Kyle doing the important work none of y'all would do till I started bitching.

Listen it is just not acceptable for us to get beat by bluesky libs, at anything.

Yeah, I caught some clips of the Swine Emperor speaking at Davos and I gotta say, the "he is literally dying as we speak" libs might have a point. I mean fucked if I know but dude looked like a space cockroach wearing a Donald Trump suit. It was some weird shit, made no less so by Trump clearly having memorized his speech from cue cards that mostly had room for half a sentence at a time. Just an absolute travshamockery.

(I think it's unwise to expect too much revolutionary praxis to rise out of the religious groups; PARTICULARLY given the central role of Christian Nationalism in this Trump movement. But there's a time and a place for everyone to make a contribution - and I don't think it would be wise to turn them down. Assuming this is a real thing, religious people who ain't nazis are thinking of doing - they been TALKING about it, for a while.)

(I have often been frustrated with the exaggeration of the role of the Catholic Left in the Civil Rights, and Anti-Vietnam War struggles. But I will concede that a bunch of priests burning draft records and practicing AGGRESSIVE nonviolence (the kind you get arrested for ANYWAY) did make it much harder to portray the protests, activism, and even clashes with an authoritarian state as extremism, radicalism, or outside the bounds of regular society in an "us" versus "them" paradigm of whiteness.)

Keeping in mind that I am not a religious person - this author's arguments re: the anti-ICE protest at a Southern Baptist (warning: danger Will Robinson) church where a local Gestapo pig is a part time pastor, is very good.

'Call To Unity' Re-enactors On MLK Day

In every age, the Very Serious People have insisted that protesting injustice is far worse than injustice itself.

(Reminder: we aren't really worried about the God stuff any more than I'm worried about Decepticons, but the "holy shit you just did the thing, on the day, have you NEVER READ A HISTORY BOOK" part is excellent.)

I voted for Biden in 2020; which makes me directly responsible for a genocide, so thanks so much for that "Enlightened Centrists."

But I did it because he said he'd end the forever wars, reign in the murderbot racist police, aggressively fight climate catastrophe, and dismantle the migrant carceral complex. He did absolutely none of those things, but that was your 2020 platform. And I couldn't pass up the MINISCULE CHANCE he meant it. I KNEW you were lying, and I voted anyway just in case.

Anyway, just be clear - that's not an accident. These people are or work for capitalists. They are TERRIFIED you are ever going to hear about what a general strike is. Have been for a HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS.

"Economic Blackout Day"

Dear lord these people can't even SAY general strike.

Economic blackout day planned in Minnesota to protest ICE surge

Unions, faith groups and local leaders urge residents not to work, shop or go to school after killing of Renee Good

the Guardian (www.theguardian.com)

lol, Guardian now printing articles with titles like "AI Will Fail." ht to @davidgerard for being right all this time. I never doubted him, but he's owed several victory laps given how long he's been saying there's no there, there, and this is a boondoggle (he's been saying it the entire time.)

“Armed, masked, undertrained ICE agents are going door-to-door, ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live,” he said. “It’s a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government.”

So look, I get that Walz is nobody's hero but you can more or less guarantee that if he's saying the first half of that statement, he's talking about a thing that is actually happening. This dude the OG "tamp it down" muppet. So he ain't exaggerating, bet

Also, I just want to stop and note how absolutely absurd it is that ppl been yelling at me that "he's NOT HITLER" for a solid 10+ years now, even sometimes, when I was not prepared to say "he's Hitler" because I knew they'd shut off and like the entire time it's leaking out that he admires Hitler, has a book of Hitler's speeches on his nightstand, he's copying Hitler's political propaganda step for step, or sometimes word for fourteen words.

Like who else do any of that but actual Nazis? WTF

I mean the guy is Hitler, and I can't even say "dumb Hitler" because Hitler was pretty fucking thick too man. The whole Nazi image of a perfectly functioning, hypercompetent oppression machine moving in unison, guided by the brilliant strategies of Hitler is literally just Nazi propaganda. Triumph of the Will bullshit. Those guys were absolute fucking assclown loser freaks and fucked up all the time. Which should give you pause when you say to yourself Trump is dumb so he will fail.

I mean your plan, to this day, the vast majority of libs and CERTAINLY their organizers and leaders, their plan is literally to "be the better person till the Nazis go away."

I can't believe I have to explain that this is insane, particularly after they've been doing this for ALMOST A FUCKING DECADE and the Nazi Party, Nazi President, an Nazi Cult of Personality have emphatically NOT, gone away.

"They'll just find someone else."

Then let them. "I took the job at the concentration camp because I was sure Hitler would find someone else" was not a good defense in court last time, and it won't be this time either.

Oh, was that too harsh? Are you feeling bad for the good career civil servants, working for the literal fucking Nazis, who I have just impuned? Cool, let's refer back to that part where I said I was surrounded by people who openly recognize that this is fascism, and ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY refuse to accept what that actually means.

We call people, who worked for the Nazi Party, in the Nazi government, Nazis. Nobody says "the Nazi government and the career civil servants who hated them but stayed."

To be clear; everyone working in my government, particularly after today, is a Nazi, or someone who works for Nazis. Do you know what we call people who worked for the Nazis, in the Nazi government? Yes, that is correct, Nazis.

So Machado is certainly not gonna feel lonely on the list of people on my TV who are definitely Nazis.

Brey, if they can just wait for you to go home and it didn't cost them anything to do that, you are not being "ungovernable." Doesn't really matter how many people signed the petition.

How long do you figure, in what is now clearly a "scramble for Africa" Great Power struggle type of world, it's going to take Trump to say that in this conflict between the US, China, and Russia (he may well not consider any other country to matter in that) he needs a US foothold in Europe?

A year? Two? I guess you're hoping comrade Big Mac takes him out before then right? Gotta say I been waiting on comrade Heart Disease too but so far he's let us all down. Hope is not a strategy.

I mean look at Russia, then look at Belarus; consider their relationship.

Still with me? Cool, now consider Keir Starmer's behavior in response to A) open Trump administration aggression, B) the rise of a British far right that is firmly pro-Trumpism, and C) the recent US invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of its president.

Do you think I'm really that off base if I said to you that Starmer sees the writing on the wall and would rather be Trump's Belarus than his Georgia or Ukraine?

I dunno if an actual human being has read every single social media post you've ever made with the word Trump in it - but I do guarantee you a computer somewhere has them, and it's quite likely their nazi version of your friendly Microsoft personal assistant has been through them.
