I think you should read the article. The title sounds a bit libby but the piece itself is quite good and has, i would say, overall a correct analysis.

The only thing i'd criticize is the title, because Trump is just a symptom, he's not what needs to be defeated but the entire system that put people like him, Biden, Harris, Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc. in positions of power. The corporate uniparty is what needs to be defeated, regardless whether it dresses itself in red or blue, whether it wears its fascism openly or disguises it with liberal platitudes.

Then again i suppose you could argue the title is clickbait to get more people to read the piece... Makes it something you could share with a liberal friend or relative and trick them into reading a real materialist analysis for once.

Nobody said Trump would be better, just that it's unconscionable to vote for a party defending and enabling genocide. The goal is simply to not reward genocide with votes. The whole "lesser evil" shtick doesn't work anymore, people see through it.

She's just the lib version of Tucker Carlson.

I'm glad someone's finally addressing this because i've been noticing this trend in entertainment for years now and it's been really pissing me off.

Same cuck energy as when the US bootlickers here in Europe go on and on about what a wonderful symbol of freedom and democracy the US is, how it's the greatest, strongest country on earth and won't you please protect us from big bad Russia. Fuck i hate these losers, at least one good thing that might come from this result is that it will hopefully shut them up for a while.

I heard some of the degenerate gambling streamers on Twitch lost a huge amount of money on betting sites over this election.

Give it some time. The German government is looking real shaky at the moment, might be the next we see fall.

I wouldn't bet on it. Westerners will understand nothing until they experience total societal collapse.

the dems would be more successful if they tried to move more to the right than they already are. [...] Plus, if you convince some republicans to vote democrat it's like you're getting two votes (you get one vote, and republicans lose one).

But this is exactly the logic that the Democrats have operated under since 2020, and now that strategy just lost them the election. You can't out-right the right. Even their win in 2020 was more blind luck that Trump happened to be president when Covid hit, since Biden only ran on "vote for me cause i'm not Trump". And any US administration would have mismanaged that just as horribly since they all serve the same class interests. There is no conceivable scenario in which a US president would put people's lives ahead of corporate profits.

Yup. Saw a few of them already saying they look forward to buying property in ethnically cleansed Gaza/West Bank.

Also this:

They really cannot keep their masks on can they?

To them anti-fascism is just a vibe, and social justice causes just an aesthetic, a way to signal team loyalty. When push comes to shove and they get scratched, all of their feigned sympathy with the oppressed goes out the window and they become foaming at the mouth Nazis indistinguishable from MAGA.

That would take a coup in Kiev.

"We denounce and condemn the genocide that the government of Israel and its First World allies have committed, are committing and continue to commit against the glorious Palestinian people, against the brave people of Lebanon and against so many other brave, courageous and dignified peoples who refuse to submit themselves to brutality.

We do not and will not keep quiet. We denounce and condemn the aggressions against Syria, Iran, and so many other great and fighting brotherly peoples in all continents.

We do not and will not keep quiet. We denounce and condemn the occupation and usurpation of the rights of peoples and countries such as Haiti.

We do not and will not keep quiet. We denounce and condemn the systematic policy of extermination of cultures and rights that the colonial and imperialist powers maintain against peoples, governments and countries such as Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua."

 

Patria o Muerte ¡Venceremos!

 

In the wake of the most recent Zionist attacks on Lebanon i have been disappointed to notice an uptick in comrades both here and on Hexbear who are not able to put these events into proper context and are instead allowing their emotions to overwhelm their logic. In times like these one must take a step back and look at the bigger picture, and for goodness's sake stop taking Zionist propaganda at face value.

I think it is worth reading what this article quotes Dugin as saying, because literally every single thing he says in his response to these events is the wrong conclusion to draw from what has happened. Unfortunately some of what a few comrades have written in recent news threads is beginning to sound exactly like Dugin, completely misinterpreting what is happening as the Zionist entity "winning" rather than signs of its terminal desperation, making the mistake of drawing the conclusion that in order to win a war you must behave like the Zionists, and assuming that if the Resistance does not respond with in some big and aggressive way that means they must be losing.

I have also read takes very similar to Dugin's on the Ukraine conflict, also claiming after every hollow Kiev Junta propaganda victory that Russia must escalate in order not to allow itself to be "humiliated". Yet when the dust has settled we have consistently seen that the patient approach has been the successful one, Russia is now in a better position diplomatically, militarily and economically than when it started while the crimes of the Zionists have not brought them any closer to victory. Every leader of the Resistance they martyr brings countless more fighters to its ranks. Every atrocity they commit further isolates them on the world stage. Their economy is imploding and no amount of crimes against humanity will reverse that. They are doing nothing but digging their own grave.

 

The 294-meter Flying Fish 1 traveled from St. Petersburg to Shanghai in just over three weeks, cutting two weeks off the traditional route via the Suez Canal.

This marks a major milestone for Arctic shipping, with nearly 20 transits expected this year, connecting Russian and Chinese ports through the Northern Sea Route.

The ship, operated by EZ Safetrans Logistics, maintained a steady speed without icebreaker assistance, highlighting how much Arctic conditions have changed.

This news may seem mundane but actually it's pretty historic. Russia and China now have a huge logistical and competitive economic advantage. This transit corridor is only going to grow in throughput volume in coming years. And most importantly it cannot be (easily) blocked by the Western imperialists like the southern straits and canals can.

 

So the Zionist entity brought Chinese influencers to Israel on a promotional trip, to create a positive image of "Israel" in China… but it seems they invited the wrong guy.

 

A good summary of the most recent events in and around occupied Palestine for those who have not been quite so diligent in keeping up with the latest news (i know i myself have been experiencing a little fatigue and had to disconnect for a few days).

As usual with this source i will give a content warning that this is a right wing source and if you step outside of their solid geopolitical analysis you may see them say some very cringe reactionary things.

The piece itself is ok, as usual a decent summary of recent events. I could see nothing particularly objectionable, except perhaps for a couple of somewhat unserious terms that a Marxist wouldn't use, such as "totalitarian".

Also, i don't vouch in any way for the comment section, i generally don't read those but it's probably a mix of ok and very very awful, so enter at your own peril. I hope this is enough to address the recent criticism that was expressed here about sharing content from problematic sources.
