Pay close attention:
All power, that does not stem from, and is not exercised willfully by the labor class directly, is authoritarian and suspect.
Now you never have to ask me what I think of someone else's leaders again, and I never have to explain to you that I have no opinions I'm willing to share at the precise time my fascist government is manufacturing consent for war and colonialism.
All power, not authorized AND exercised, by us, the labor class? Is sus/unacceptable. Full stop.
Save all the stories where the media actually told you the truth - and don't just save the links because THEY CHANGE THE FUCKING STORIES AFTER THE FACT MATE. No really. Archive them on the internet (not wayback, use a foreign company) and save the ARCHIVED links to the ORIGINAL stories.
Start now. It's important.
The biggest fucking mistake I made during Iraq, was not saving the newspaper clippings and recording the speeches/press conferences. Save it all. It will matter some day - I hope soon, but regardless, it will matter some day.
Actually, this is a larger conversation we need to be having because we're at war as well.
The propaganda for a war, is very bad, very obtuse, very not believable because, and this is important - they need to convince the people who are not paying attention, and do not WANT to pay attention, that what we're doing is fine.
But they change the story over time. The crude propaganda we start with, is not the slick propaganda we end with.
You will need to be an archivist.

Well, no, we ALSO tried to coup Chavez for the oil, but that didn't end so well because whether Venezuelans like their president or not, the ones who aren't unhinged Nazis know we're not here to help them. We failed to topple Chavez and had to wait for him to die to restart the grand game - that game being "how to we steal your oil by force/CIA assassination while calling ourselves the good guys?"
Okay so part of that tweet was about me saying "I am pretty sure he killed Epstein" when it happened and a whole bunch of folks screaming at me that it was a conspiracy theory and linking me to a medical explanation that didn't explain anything and certainly didn't prove he wasn't strangled to death.
As we now know, loyalists inside the jail were at least TRYING to kill him; which makes it pretty unlikely his again, physically impossible, suicide was a suicide at all.
I'm bitter.
Lol, so are you fucking ready for this?
The US government just amended its Maduro indictment because someone who speaks Spanish finally told them that Cártel de los Soles is a Venezuelan euphemism for corruption and not actually a cartel.
I wish I were making this shit up but it's real. If they convict Maduro after that, you can one and truly know this was not a trial but a real life theatrical performance.
Again, do you really think they're deporting 100 million people, at least, without mass killings?
Come on brey. Do you know how much more plane rides cost than bullets?
Brey, nobody is holding you personally responsible for not 'doing something" about Dollar Store Hitler.
But the guy has been in charge for a year. The Gestapo, and the National Guard have been in the streets and in ICE's case disappearing people for months. They passed a budget to build gulags and a domestic nazi army. Now he's kidnapping world leaders and demanding Greenland from Denmark.
We haven't even TRIED to be ungovernable. At some point, you gotta own your part in obeying the nazi.
You wanna know why nobody stopped Hitler. A lot of Germans agreed with Hitler, and the people who didn't just kept going to work and doing what the fascist told them because "what could THEY do." That's how it happened. That's how it is happening now.
