  • I’ve quit all of my previous jobs in not so great ways ( I’m a dumbass ), which leaves me unable to give any real contact info.

    Don’t assume this! I also thought I had burned all my bridges by being a fuck-up but one of the people I fucked over tried to give me another job recently. Don’t undersell the value of being an employee who can semi-reliably do an okay job and occasionally crash & burn pretty hard. That’s still above par in a lot of industries, enough to make you preferable over some totally unknown rando! Honestly I’m perpetually in awe that the human race accomplishes anything whatsoever.






  • It just turns into a boring semantic argument about what “controls” means. The relationship is emphatically not a one-way vassal thing like the party line was on the western left until, say, mid-2024. None of us really anticipated how thoroughly liberal institutions had been captured by zionists until our friends were pinned down on the college quad being tased repeatedly by thugs and people were fired en masse for the mildest criticism of indiscriminate slaughter.

    You are getting tired of trying to explain something because the thing you’re trying to explain isn’t true. It was true at one time, and no longer is. Things change, the tail wags the dog. Miriam Adelson is not giving Trump hundreds of millions of dollars and getting zero influence in return. Epstein didn’t run an elite pedophile blackmail operation for no reason. Chuck Schumer, leader of the opposition party in the senate, states that his job is to “keep the left pro-Israel”. Elected democrats are on the wrong side of an 80/20 issue with their base because of AIPAC and associated orgs giving them unbelievable amounts of money. Rubio and other sources said yesterday that Israel was the driving force for the US attacking Iran.

    Let’s look at an actual vassal relationship, like the US and the UK for instance. Think about the last time criticizing the UK got anybody in even the mildest bit of employment trouble in the US.






  • Well it criticizes PSL for not being connected to the proletariat without actually defining who constitutes that elusive class in the US, so I would be more interested in reading the author’s definition of that before proceeding.

    Where does the Central derive its legitimacy from? […] Not from any connection to the proletariat, as they are professional activists leading an organization of mostly students and young people drawn from all classes.

    Then you have the criticism about PSL not achieving recognition & material support from the AES states it valorizes. Sure. I think the question of whether receiving that support would even be a good thing, tactically, is pretty open for debate.
