Nice. Thanks.
I mean, just about right after it happened there was a video posted by the "Botsman Boys" about how they were shooting anyone on the streets who didn't show proper nationalist fervor. Both of these videos have, of course, been since removed by YouTube. But I'll post the links and the bookmark titles I had for them from pre-removal, just in case someone can find some kind of archive.

Well shit. That's why we haven't heard from Medhurst in a while. They nabbed him (a second time) in Austria, and have stolen all his equipment and data and kept legal cases open against him in both countries to silence his journalism.
The Democrats know this too. They just underestimate how much Trump hates them and won't listen to them simply because of their colors. LOL. So they suck up and lick the boot (underneath the farce of rhetoric), while he ignores them (at best).
This whole thing is a gigantic display of that observation about how conservatism boils down to having an in-group protected but not bound by the law, and an out-group bound but not protected by the law. Laws are for poor people, and Trump is not an exception.
This is just fundamentally what laws are in the first place, TBH. It's not just conservatism, but liberalism in general. If you have a state, you have this kind of authoritarianism and repression. It's just a matter of how extreme and obvious it's gotten (). Even MLs want to dissolve the state eventually. The major divide between the branches of lefism is just whether or not you can do some good shit before this kind of nonsense catches up with you.
Love how the powers that be just jumped immediately to assuming it was some kind of cyberattack. Obviously without any real evidence. Very healthy society.
It's a start. But that leaves 62% of people who are delusional as fuck.
Eh. I mean, it's Trump. Hopefully he doesn't get too inspired by what he sees as a power move and decide to keep juicing the meat grinder.
BreakThrough News interviewing someone from Electronic Intefada and giving pretty positive coverage of Ansar Allah and their resistance to U.S. imperial violence. Probably not much (or anything) new to folks here about the actual facts of the war, but still a pretty good summary. And maybe a good resource to point your leftist and left-curious friends, family, and associates to about it, if their primary exposure is mainstream "news".
Thief, please do something mildly funny and wave an electric wand to make undocumented folks safer.
Even as politicians go, U.S. officials are such embarrassing, narcissistic little fucks. My god. Imagine derailing a conference about an enormously devastating global pandemic in order to do a little name calling, and ensure that absolutely nothing—not even issuing a statement—gets done. If some grassroots activists did this kind of thing for an actual reason then great. But this is just so pathetic coming from one of the participants (and not even just any of the participants, but the representative of Empire), for absolutely petty, trifling bullshit.
