"Hmm can't fool me Ivan, you're just presenting facts that prove your point and make me look foolish, aren't you?"

The dastardly tankie strategy of knowing what you're talking about before you start talking about it.

"Noo this is just like them, we have to be better"

I'm not federated so I have to respond to this comment here.

It's 2024, where did eight years of "being better" get you? Under the boot, that's where. "Civility" in politics is such brain poison, it's a matter of life and death, not a dinner party. I will take as much satisfaction as I want from the misfortune of my enemies, because spreading misfortune is their entire life and it's good when they're impeded. Fuck the big wet ex-president, I hope a titan boa squeezes 70 years of McDonald's grease out of him like a tube of toothpaste.

That said, 34 convictions is only the first half of the punchline. The next big laugh comes in November, when red fascist beats blue fascist anyway and the big 8-year Mayan calendar at the DNC rolls over to 2016 again.

Also, not to sound self-absorbed, but when Biden loses liberals will 1000% blame the left again. I only say so because I've been making an effort to be more public in my predictions, on account of being right so often.

"Their terror attack" lol. My man, if the term terror attack was around in the 1940s, Hitler would have used it to describe the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. And make no mistake- this is a ghetto uprising. If you don't want people to make a violent bid for freedom, don't spend decades torturing and murdering them in an open air concentration camp with no recourse. Simple.

Terrorist is buzzword that fascist states apply to people who stand up for themselves, who return even a fraction of the violence they are made to suffer every day. "Terrorist" is just "savage" with a fresh coat of paint. Every slave revolt and anti-colonial uprising in history has been tarred with the same brush.

There is no Hamas without Isreal.

Lose soldiers in war, vent rage on noncombatants. Such is the Isreali way.

Please, do tell. Current government. If you say Tibet I will die of laughter and then link you a very well-sourced and easy to read academic paper.

Sure I work all my life to pay rent and the cops can murder me at any time for no reason and get away with it, but have you considered China worse somehow?

If many millions of actual illiterate peasants who grew up with no school system at all can do it multiple times on different continents, it can absolutely be done here.

The problem is that if your political world view requires actual study in order to understand and promote, you're never going to get anywhere when it comes to affecting real change.

Two war-torn feudal backwaters transformed themselves into spacefaring superpowers in the span of a single human lifetime. History has shown that mass political education is possible and effective. I mean hell, we all have to be instructed as kids about the dangers of fire, and that works. I don't believe that educating people in Marxism is some sisyphean task any more than educating people in math. I think I can and has been done.
