  • The only reason leftists in the US should be talking about this war criminal is to point out the contradictions and use him as a tool to push people further left by explaining how and why he’s bad. Even before the Reddit shitposting and tattoo revelation a former Blackwater merc who is unrepentant about his military and mercenary service should have been enough to dismiss him as just another imperialist asshole that belongs in a war crime tribunal.

    Same thing with Zohran, just point out the contradictions and use him as an example of why the American “left” will go out of its way to fuck up anything even moderately progressive.

    Let the libs lib out and reach out to those we can. It sucks and I hate it but American communists gotta work within the confines of the limited political awareness and rabid anti-communist propaganda of American “culture”.

    As for non-American just point and laugh at us, we fucking deserve it.

    The only ones I regularly listen to anymore are The Deprogram, True Anon, Blowback, and Ghost Stories for the End of the World.

    Sometimes I’ll catch an episode of Rev Left, Proles Pod, Citations Needed, Marx Madness, American Exception, Chapo Trap House, Actually Existing Socialism, or others, but I don’t keep up with them.






  • I’m sure the DPRK knew. At the end of the article they present the fact that the talks between the DPRK and USA less than a month later fell apart quickly and the DPRK quickly resumed missile testing as some tangentially related fact. I’m sure they had a strong suspicion that it was the US and Trump probably said some dumb shit that confirmed it during the talks they had scheduled so the DPRK dropped it all.

    Besides who else but the roided up drug crazed US special forces would shoot civilians then stab them repeatedly to “let the air out of their lungs so they’d sink”?







  • I’ve started calling it Time Compression. It feels like it did in 2020 just after the pandemic kicked into high gear. Every day feels like a week and a week feels like a day. It feels like you’re unstuck from reality and everything takes this absurdist tint and everyone is holding their breath including you. Like just existing is causing mild dissociation. The streets are empty and cold even though they’re filled with people and the summer heat is strangling you. Past memories of how things “should” have been or could have been merge and overlap with the here and now. Hauntology in waking life.

    I’m not necessarily a believer in any kind of literal collective unconscious, but it feels like it did exist and someone unplugged it again.

    Anyways, I felt it start to settle in at the beginning of the year and it hasn’t let up much yet.

    In reality though I’m probably just getting old, read too much news, and don’t have enough friends.
