and the time necessary to dig into a bunch of dubious claims by a politician who is likely lying to you is beyond what's reasonable for a person working a full-time job with a family or anything vaguely resembling a social life

apologies for not memeing on this, but the parallel that immediately comes to mind is when Kavanaugh was getting confirmed, he said that Roe v Wade was "settled law". she is absolutely going to enact some anti-trans bullshit.

there's a guy that i'm mutuals with on other social media who's on the young side, like just out of college, and he's figuring out what he thinks about politics. he's pretty smart and hangs around cool marxist(-leninist) people, but he's definitely trying to figure out stuff on his own, which is really cool and he's critically engaging with stuff well.

however, it seems like he's seen a lot of patsocs and ACP members bring up weird corners of Marx's writing to try to justify their positions. the particular case he brought up recently was about an ACP guy on twitter using the productive vs unproductive labor distinction to call baristas (you know, people who make coffee for usually really low wages) enemies of the working class because they are unproductive labor. my friend was worried that this kind of weird nonsense argument was necessary for marxists in general. me and some other people explained that no, the ACP guys are picking weird bits of Marx to try to justify their reactionary bullshit and we actually mostly focus on class and not this other stuff. so like no harm done here, but it makes me wonder how often those kind of things go unchallenged in other people's experience.

ah yes, the "i don't want you to know how much this is astroturfed" protests, against the "we want to know how much astroturf is there" law.

one of those "why i left the left" people. like, clearly was just riding the wave of popular sentiment from Bernie running, and now pushing some very reactionary shit

the coolest part of the ruling is that congress gets to decide what "insurrection" means re: the 14th amendment. get ready for a whole lot of red baiting targeting the most centrist of dems so that they can be "credibly accused" of insurrection.

if you follow the links they are part of this paau org: https://paaunow.org/our-team look for Elise Ketch. they've got some real money behind them, but may not be personally that wealthy.

yeah, it's where the tech bourgeoisie and their bootlickers congregate, with all of their attendant racism and US cheerleading. it's one of the main injectors of capitalist propaganda into the tech space these days.

edit: i looked up the quote, and the next line is: “After us, it’s the pitchforks.” he knows what he's doing.

The bourgeois was anarchic before his class seized political power and imposed on society the ideal State regime suitable to safeguard the capitalist mode of production

definitely going to use this in future convos
