As a good socialist, I'm going where the money is, as a good capitalist, I'm sticking with the revolution, because if you can't beat it, spy on it.

I hate to be QTing Kate Willett again, but this really does say the quiet part out loud. Ultras don’t care about AOC’s votes or ideological stances or substantive policy ideas, they measure one’s socialism by how radical you sound and how provocative you are on social media.
Kate Willett@katewillett

AOC’s votes barely matter imo. They have no power to sway anything. She has reach on social media into the tens or hundreds of millions though. And she’s used that reach to be a passionate advocate for military aid to Israel. That’s where her impact is.

So, less than a week after the "Democrats better choose a nominee to the left, or we won't vote against JD Vance" discourse, ppl are already undermining AOC's potential presidential bid? Contrapoints_theydontwantpower.jpeg

Worth noting that Spartan hegemony begins in 404, the Spartans are waging stupid wars with their own allies by 395 and Spartan power is permanently broken in 371. Meanwhile Athens reestablished the democracy and went back to being the largest, richest polis in Greece.

Sparta forged men in fire. Athens forged arguments in marble. Empires are not defended by marble.

Look at this and reconsider Trump’s claim that Putin wouldn’t have dared to invade if Trump were president. He clearly would have. Putin isn’t afraid of Trump because Trump is weak and compromised

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
The stalling on ending the war is coming from Russia. And here is a simple example. At the end of last year, there were agreements on exchanging our people – prisoners of war. One thousand people were to be exchanged. What is the problem? What is the delay on the Ukrainian side? Who is holding Ukrainians in captivity? Is it us? It is Russia. Why won’t they carry out the exchange? Does the U.S. have an answer to that question? No. Because there are certain questions that are uncomfortable, yet absolutely fair. Russia is dragging out every process, starting with the humanitarian track. We proposed to exchange one thousand people – they put it off. We then proposed to exchange at least 500 – they put it off. We proposed to do an “all-for-all” exchange – this is part of the 20-points plan – again, it is being put off. So who is stalling? Who does not want to end the war? This is not about willingness; it is about pressure. Sufficient pressure on Russia is needed – and everything will end. I believe we are very close to that.

The US needs Greenland so much for national security that it has closed all but one of its bases there and keeps only 150 soldiers on the island, while Denmark would allow as many US troops as it wants

Assistant chief counsel for ICE is a guy who posts literal Hitler praise content. Not like the exaggerated "omg literally Hitler" trope, but literally, in the literal sense of the word.

BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work today. texasobserver.org/ice-prosecutor…

Varoufakis' Progressive International has jumped the shark: Western cops bad; Iranian cops good. Women's rights good - but not if it leads to revolution in Iran. No I am not exaggerating - this is the logic of "decolonisation" theory ...

50 years from now “No no, Trump Derangement Syndrome referred to the people that found it bad. Yeah, classic mixup. It did not refer to the bootlickers, weirdos, Ackman’s and Chamath’s. Trump Derangement Syndrome was a term for the people who objected”

It's funny how this echoes what happened with Iraq. Oil industry figures like Cheney were openly advocating against sanctions and interventionism in the Middle East in the 90s specifically because it was bad for business. Halliburton violated US sanctions on Iraq multiple times to sell them equipment, and Cheney pushed for detente with Iran before he became Vice President. An unstable, violent situation in which investments can't be reliably projected to bring returns is the last thing the major oil concerns want. We never got any of that Iraqi oil.

@isaiah_bb Isn't that a guy from CPAC, who did a weird performance of locking himself in a cage, cause he was somehow oppressed by the Biden administration?

Kaiser Wilhelm II, who ruled Germany from 1888 to 1918, had a talent for causing outrage. He believed he was brilliant at diplomacy, despite all evidence to the contrary, and had a limited understanding of cause and effect.
