Every so often I think about the American Brigadier General who wrote, in the 1960s, in a translation of Mao's Guerilla Warfare:
"[M]any of them feel that these aims can be achieved only by a desperate revolutionary struggle that we will probably oppose. This is not a hypothesis; it is fact."
c.f Zizek (I think's) joke that the KGB's biggest fear was discovering the people of the USSR believed in Communism, not that they didn't

Reformβs new London mayoral candidate, Laila Cunningham, was undone by a rare GB News miracle: a good question.
Asked why a party that says the Tories are terrible keeps hiring so many of them, the ex-Tory herself had a rock-solid response:
"I canβt answer that."π€¨
rightwingers always call women βtoo emotionalβ but renee good states sheβs not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a βfucking bitchβ after sheβs dead
absolutely horrific, sheβs very clearly trying to move out of the way and the ICE agents escalates and murder her
raffi: regime change in America
they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.
itβs incredibly important to note that on the new footage that came out from the ICE agent himself, halfway through the video he switches his phone between his hands, opening up to grab his gun way before renee good even starts driving

ICE shooting comes after bombshell probe finds new recruits 'can barely read or write'
It's oddly fascinating that some of the small potatoes MAGA people are starting to realize it, but the big influencers are full steam ahead on the death-ride. Gut feeling is that the biggest names are fully insulated from what normal people believe and say
That's the thing about a pack of shuras, like MAGA influencers. Because they can't set aside their ego, because they are drunk on blood and lack the clarity and discipline necessary to stop seeking out more blood, they will eventually turn on each other.
So to return to this: Mussolini had 200,000 blackshirts for the March on Rome in a country of ~35m. Hitler had 400,000 brownshirts in 1932 in Germany for a population of ~60m.
So around 0.6% of the population.
0.6% of 340m Americans is just over 2 million.
They do not have enough goons.

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will
Yelling at CEOs is good and we should all do it more
(He's still not fully letting go of it, but being yelled at clearly moved the needle some)
36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year
may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable
this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it
bout to pounce
enjoy your deathtrap, ladies!
Graham Linehan made a willing place in his heart for evil, and once you open that door wide all the horrors come in.
you know how if you try and make LLMs more racist, they also end up more sexist and pro-genocide? this is the human example of that. evil isn't a single thing, if you start down one path you keep ending up at the same destination.
DHS advertisement on instagram to help stop sex trafficking
I found it odd that I got this advertisement in my Instagram feed today. Couldnβt tell if DHS is pro or anti sex trafficking.
