Turnstile winning a Grammy is kind of nuts

Broke: there has never been Actually Existing Trotskyism Woke: the Bolivarian Revolution is Actually Existing Trotskyism Bespoke: Soviet collectivization of agriculture was Actually Existing Trotskyism

If anything surprises is that bourgeois society’s rot was actually as bad as portrayed in paranoid occult conspiracy thrillers, except the dark power is almost only money. We knew that in abstract, but apparently this new unclassified files proves it in particular.

You Suffer, Here's Why

I've been job-hunting recently and as far as I can tell the entire job market for anyone below a certain level of power is just people spamming AI-generated resumes at AI-powered filters. People love to throw around the term 'humiliation ritual' pretty loosely but how else do you describe this

it's cause abolitionist Christians were the real fucking deal. "As He died to make me holy let us die to make men free" is a sentiment that fills even my atheist heart with righteous energy

On the one hand working a factory has probably shaved several years off my life but on the other hand I don't have to put up with all of this nonsense so I'd say it's a wash

the bit of Mark Carney's Davos speech where he openly admits "yeah we knew the International Rules-Based Order was a lie but we went along with it because it was useful to us" is really funny because for years I've been having people call me a stupid tankie conspiracy theorist for saying this

now, personally, I think genocide denial is an actual problem and not an example of someone being annoying online but what do I know

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

get ready for dark woke motherfuckers

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Goofy to clutch pearls about this kind of thing; Tooze is like a classic left-lib doing obviously meaningful hyperbole. Big fan of the replies full of people convinced Tooze is a Marxist-Leninist when he's like, a left-lib WEF/FP Magazine guy

love to see someone bringing that Fellow Traveller energy back for the 21st century

Maybe the best Bones album in a long time. You get a smattering of all of his styles put together into one album

It’s so good right from the jump. “Got a bad taste in my mouth out here. Metal. Ash. Like you can taste the psychosphere” “I got an idea, let’s make the car a place of silent reflection”

being a politics streamer isn't a real job, shut the fuck up and put on the cat ears and play a paradox game if you want me to take you seriously

what the fuck

it is 2016. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2020. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2026. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithf

that's right and it's beautiful. If your tactics game isn't forcing me into that position and then punishing me either way then what are we even doing here

it's the american century of humiliation baby roll the clip

Slightly diminish a game Europa Particularis

all wolves. no throne room

you absolutely do not

who keeps putting all these decades in my weeks bro

I don’t know if “Closer” by Nine Inch Nails is the best song ever made but the beat goes so fucking hard that it doesn’t really matter

i think the worst new word of 2025 i started seeing used everywhere was “vibecoding”. please stay on linkedin with language like that

underrated bit in OBAA is Bob getting his mojo back, shouting VIVA LA REVOLUCION, and then immediately eating shit in 3 different ways

the only problem with the prequels is that there aren’t more scenes which discuss economic policy of the republic

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

might fuck around and read Critique of Dialectical Reason this year

Underrated side effect of reading lots of Mao is eventually you end up busting out this type shit at work but you aren't allowed to say where you got the ideas from so people start to act like you're some sort of Teamwork Genius

Just realized that Emperor Qin Shi Huang's "Terracotta Army" of clay soldiers he kept in a vault in like 200 BC make him the first Warhammer Guy. he got some disposable income and started painting minis. totally get it

everyone wants to believe the moment they join is 1916. I'm here to say that it's not, it's like 1870-1880, nihilist violence is the main expression of revolutionary anger. It's time to build organization, to knock people out of their work-life-sleep and rejoin politics as mass action.

It's in the weird place where it's obviously monstrous in the grand scheme of things but in the world as it appears to us now it seems to be the only reliable deterrent to mass bloodletting and terror being inflicted on th oppressed peoples of the world. Unfortunately we have to live in that tension

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

it was fascism when they invaded Iraq too. sorry if you think that was more legal than this because of some window dressing. you might be stupid or evil if you miss the legitimacy of 2003.

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

We gotta give Cuba a nuke

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Our country and all the other socialist countries want peace; so do the peoples of all the countries of the world. The only ones who crave war and do not want peace are certain monopoly capitalist groups in a handful of imperialist countries that depend on aggression for their profits.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live
