Is that RFKJ?
Those numbers are crazy.
Good thread if anyone missed it. What is fascism? Is modern fascism distinct from Mussolini fascism?
(link is to a Hexbear post)
Since no one has responded, and this is such a crucial question, I think it’s because of global dollarization. US’s biggest super power. Also I have read that the US forbids any ships that port in Cuba to port with US on that same voyage. This makes it economically untenable to send things to Cuba. That’s the gist of it, but I need to do more research.
I’ve given a few libs pause explaining to them how the US bullies the world and gets countries to do its bidding.
I increasingly understand the world in terms of communism and anti-communism (fascism).
Anyone else listen to the TrueAnon 2-parter on Klanada? I think it’s mostly review for most Hexbears but I learned a lot.
Not to sound like a lib, but watching that reinforced that there really are alternative sets of “facts”.
It was clear the overlap where Joe and Don had been feeding from the same slop trough.
He did say Xi was wicked smart adding something like you have to be brilliant to control billions of people like he does.
Trump (y) = [(x)n +1]
This is an actual argument on

Harris needs progressive voters
(Fundraising email sent from the Bernie group, “Our Revolution”)
Recounts all the terrible things the Democrats are doing, takes no agency for them and has no answers other than we must vote blue for the “chance to go on offense to win progressive policies” and to “defeat Trump.”

Harris needs progressive voters
A survey of Our Revolution members this week revealed something VERY worrying: 15% of progressives plan to vote for someone other than Harris or sit this one out.

Our organizers on the ground in swing states are hearing the same – particularly in the blue wall states. With the race tied in a dead heat, the loss of this crucial part of the Democratic base could be devastating — and the campaign’s focus on Dick Cheney isn’t helping.
We are doing our part to shore up the progressive vote because we know the path to peace doesn’t run through a second Trump term.
Our Revolution is on the ground mobilizing key progressive and undecided voters to get to the polls – and our efforts are working. But now we need to EXPAND our door knocking ASAP. Can you chip in to help us hit our goal of FIVE MILLION voter contacts before Election Day?

Rightful outrage over the Biden administration’s role in the horrors unfolding in Gaza has garnered substantial support for the Uncommitted Movement, which won 48,000 votes in Wisconsin and 100,000 votes in Michigan during the primaries. In 2020, Biden won Wisconsin by just over 20,000 votes and Michigan by 154,000. In Pennsylvania, our organizer Jessica said: “Some folks say they want to stay home on Election Day because of the lack of progressive policies from Harris.” And it’s not just Gaza. Disaffected progressive voters are citing frustrations with shifting positions on fracking and immigration as signs of the party shifting right.
While they raise valid concerns, the problem is that in a race this close, we need every single one of those progressive votes if we’re going to defeat Trump.
Our message to progressive voters is clear: we will NOT STOP fighting for peace and our progressive values in 2025 and beyond. But a Harris administration will actually give us the chance to go on offense to win progressive policies, rather than playing defense against Trump who is hell bent on taking us backwards.
Now our challenge is to spread that message far and wide – and the good news is our organizers are reporting that their persuasion efforts are working to convince 2 out of every 3 voters who are considering staying home to get out and vote for Harris.
We know what voters we need to reach and now we need to scale up to be able to reach them all – and fast. Will you urgently chip in to fuel our GOTV organizing in key swing states?
Let’s come together to defeat Trump, then continue our fight to win the progressive policies that will make a real difference for communities across the country – and the world.
When we organize, we win. Our Revolution

capital worried
reminds me of when the US military has the best grasp of climate change
I’ve been seeing some version of “Vote (blue) so we’ll be in a position to fight another day” arguments for a couple weeks now.
Meanwhile the only time libs are even the tiniest bit engaged is when Trump is in the WH.
It’s all hollow in the face of the ongoing genocide that even our two supposedly pink politicians are too cowardly and ethically challenged to take a stand against. I mean Bernard and AOC, but I realize they were already feckless long before this.
not being directed against third countries
I know Putin sucks but I still wonder what their secret talks are like, eg ROC.
I feel bad for libs (this one time) because they don’t get how funny it is
CW: bleak. I am now imagining nuclear bunker nursing homes, which likely exist in some form. Ultra wealthy who have commissioned billion dollar bunkers surely have nurses and doctors on retainer.
I may have got them mixed up. It’s probably Flanagan who said it. Both are enthusiastic anti-communist, Atlantic writers.
Whenever she is mentioned I think about her expressing contempt for her leftist/“leftist” parents because they checks notes helped Vietnam draft dodgers
Somewhat similar situation. I would love to visit Russia but there’s a non-zero chance of [something happening]. I joke that I would learn some choice phrases in Russian before going.
I learned that on that Chapo episode. Glad you posted about it. I feel bad that I have been so ignorant. I need to listen to Blowback.
I think people who suggest shit like this mistake what Israel’s purpose is.
Of course, but getting people to that point is basically left-pilling them which is challenging, understatement. There’s a huge chasm between whatever, say, John Oliver is and hexbearist thought. In my experience, non-libs (chuds, conspiracy theorists with strange politics, “regular, apolitical” Americans, etc) are more open to learning than libs, but they come with their own reactionary biases.
In other words, I can see libs tepidly exploring Why didn’t Germany give up land to create Israel as reparations, but they’re not ready for even a theoretical understanding of Death to America.
I think sometimes when leftists say Why wasn’t Israel in Germany they are trying to do a logic-appeal to progressives and left-libs who would need hours of education that they are willfully closed off to to understand that Israel is America’s largest unsinkable aircraft carrier.
Your first point stands!
just not feeling the idea of having a woman as president
3 of the 6 prez candidates on the Calif ballot are women
: remind me
