Donald Trump’s new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence. The irony: left-wing structural analysis actually pushes people away from lone-wolf attacks and toward mass organizing for change.
Mate, the release of the unredacted Epstein files is pretty much the only thing left with a nonzero chance of turning MAGA against Trump. They don’t care about the erosion of democracy, the illegal arrest and deportation of innocents, the economy, the USA becoming an international laughing stock, inflation, the cuts to government services, the wars, they don’t even care that he was convicted of raping adults! Uncontrovertible evidence that he likes to put his deformed micropenis inside children is the only thing that might still reach them.
I’m not putting my faith in a hail mary, personally. Something like this won’t make true difference, considering the things cultists have tolerated from leaders in the past.
Putting your faith in something and doing it because it’s all you can do at this point are two different things. I don’t currently live in the USA. I can’t go to protests. I’m not likely to be allowed to vote in the next election, if there is one. All I can do is pressure, weakly and indirectly, and this is one way of doing it.
I’d rather engage in gestures that may turn out to be a total waste than not doing anything, because that is guaranteed to be a total waste.
Mate, you’re getting distracted from the erosion of democracy by only thinking about some fucking papers that we all know implicate him already.
