since it's election day, here's george carlin perfectly summing up what I think about it. just change "the public" for "asset-owning boomers", as they're the ones who actually call the shots
it's not talked about enough how asset-owning boomers, by virtue of their class interests, are responsible for everything horrible that has happened over the past decades. they gave you hillary, trump, biden, johnson. they are the social basis of reaction

never forget that the active working class overwhelmingly supported corbyn and bernie. it was asset-owning boomers who sank them. they want to see the world burn. it's a death-cult. a deranged, fascistic death-cult
another crucial point here by carlin: "The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you."

see this thread for more details on why carlin is right that the US is not a democracy

looking forward to cancer being cured
bernie: "I want to give healthcare to everyone"

media: "LOL that's delusional, you want to give people ponies"

biden: "I will cure cancer"

media: "wow that's inspirational. biden loves science"
bitch how about instead of vowing to cure cancer bc your brain is melting you make sure people don't go bankrupt trying to treat it?

colin kaepernick is trending bc it's his birthday, so here's "woke" queen bae kamala harris saying his taking the knee as part of the broader black lives matter movement was a russian psy-op

also important to remember on colin kaepernick's birthday that both obama and ruth bader ginsburg viciously attacked him when he began taking the knee
and when colin kaepernick wore a shirt depicting malcolm x's historic meeting with castro the entire liberal media viciously savaged and smeared him as some evil violent radical

neera tanden posted this 4 days before the UK election, joining the hysterically deranged liberal chorus on both sides of the atlantic that corbyn was so evil it would be better to hand the election to the far right. I will never forget or forgive this, and neither should you
it wasn't an empty threat. they did hand the election to the far right, with glee. when the result came in they were overjoyed, ecstatic. the tory government they voted in has already destroyed countless lives, disproportionately from marginalized communities
they did the exact same thing in the 2017 election, intentionally sabotaging the labour campaign from within, while ruthlessly attacking it from without. that time they handed the election to the far right tories by just 2000 votes. that's how liberals play this game

one of the main reasons keir starmer suspended corbyn right now is to cause yet another leftist exodus from labour to help ensure the ongoing NEC vote goes his way. he's using whatever means available to him to crush his opponents. I wish we had someone like that
instead we have someone who has massive political capital, still being the most popular former leader among members, and will happily let it evaporate into thin air as he tries to fight his suspension through official channels that'll lead to nothing. labourism is a helluva drug
if the socialist campaign group breaks away from the labour party right now they'll immediately be the third largest opposition party in parliament after the SNP. form an alliance with the SNP and Greens and go into the next election purely to fuck keir starmer. FUCK HIM

starmer just suspended corbyn from the labour party. that's what happens when you spend 5 years trying to appease blairite scumfucks who kept saying, publicly, that they would rather knife you in the front than the back (a literal quote from labour MP jess phillips)
starmer has accomplished in a few months what corbyn was unwilling to do in 5 years despite an overwhelming mandate from labour members. he had faith in the institutions of the party, in the bullshit procedures blairites pulled out of their ass. this is his reward.
they organized a coup against his leadership and corbyn won that race with an ever bigger majority than the first, and then just acted like nothing happened. he just let them continue with their sabotage. they then went on to intentionally lose two elections. it's a sick joke

here's tim pool's podcast co-host saying "who's to say the jews wouldn't have been more violent than hitler?", then regurgitates the nazi propaganda line that hitler's rise was merely a response to "communist violence". just some real normal big-brain ideas floating around there
the line that the rise of hitler and the nazis "stem from communist violence" is classic nazi propaganda which jordan peterson also pushed. nazi apologists came up with it in the 1980s and were thoroughly debunked by actual historians, as detailed here by habermas
btw after tim pool's podcast co-host drops that totally deranged nazi apologetic line, tim just moves on. he doesn't even acknowledge it as totally fucking batshit. the guy casually spouted nazi agitprop to his audience of millions and it's as natural as drinking water to them
