Project 2025 is being used to legitimize the genocidal Democratic Party by threatening voters with the republican party.

I remember reading somewhere that Project 2025 is sponsored in part by Democrat friendly donors. Am I making this up? I can't find this information again and it is disappointing now that the pressure on people to vote for genocidal candidates seems to be escalating.

I though of it as similar to how in 2016 Trump and Ted Cruz were "elevated" in the media at the behest of the Hillary campaign, believing it would make Hillary look good. I have met blue dogs that admit this and stand by it as a good strategy, so the idea that democrats are also sponsoring Project 2025 seems very believable to me.

Does anyone else remember reading that Dems are also sponsoring Project 2025 in some capacity?

Edit: this article speaks a bit to what I'm talking about

Peace and solidarity with the United American Indians of New England, and to all of the sovereign Tribes accross the continent as we all observe the National Day of Mourning. The multicentury assault on the Indigenous world cannot claim victory, genocide is not the end of the story, but we must remember those who have been lost to settler invasion. Today is a time to reject settler myths that distort history, to reflect on our social positioning and relationships with the many peoples of this land, and to imagine brighter futures without the destructive structures of settler-colonialism and capitalist accumulation. This leaves no room whatsoever for giving thanks to the alter of death which birthed an abomination that has plagued the earth for far too long. Solidarity and reciprocity with the hundreds of millions of Indigenous peoples accross the world is of critical importance for building the coalitions we need to survive and thrive in a post apocalyptic world.

No clue how some of you try to track the events of major conflicts. It just all seems like a stew of piss and vomit designed to spread disease. I can hardly read the NYT, guardian, wapost, etc. at all, much less read their war coverage. War itself is bad enough but adding in the perspectives of western analysts is just masochistic. I never want to hear a liberal of any kind mention hamas ever again. Im so sick of the measured intellectuals and their gratuitous condemnations of #violence ever again.

And before someone thinks I shouldn't hate people, I think Kyle Kulinski and his associates aren't persons so much as they are a media business brand enabled by other corporate brands like youtube and the Democratic Party. It pains me greatly that people consume these brands and turn into consumers of what I see as American apologetics.

Anyway that's all. I hate the prison of American political discourse and its prison guards like Kyle.

Im not going to pull punches on this rant. I am so exhausted by this rhetoric and unfortunately it is pervasive in my personal life and online. I spend most of my productive time reviewing literature on various global issues. Namely land grab discourse, genocide studies, conservation efforts, state development policy, IFI reports etc etc.

Let me tell you something about the lives of rural and Indigenous people in the global south. They get their homes burned down and murdered in their sleep. Their lands are stolen from them with techniques perfected by colonial powers, especially from US settler colonialism.

The state will steal their lands and "preserve it" for use of private capital, for white settlers, or to create a national park or preserves that wealthy foriegners can hunt game and so they can parade to the world how "modern" they are becoming.

If they cannot steal land outright they will use other more complicated manners to incentivise rural people to be tied into market re

I only care about lemmygrad.ml which as far as I know is where the comrades are. Yall are great. I came here to spew word vomit in consentrated bursts to get 3 up votes at a time. I am blissfully ignorant of technology issues or whatever the hell people are on about with reddit nowadays. I would like to avoid the normcore libs and porn distributors that are flooding the site. I use reddit for cyber bullying those types but here is like a sort of home base.

How do I keep these worlds from colliding?

I was a captive audience to someone talking about how some countries only had access to China's vaccine. They said the vaccine was terrible and people took it and still got COVID.

But like.... I took American vaccines and still got COVID...

...and over a million people in the US died of COVID, some of whom where vaccinated with US subsidized, corporate vaccines.

It was brought up because others were talking about global inequality during the pandemic. So having to take the subpar sinovac was apparently all part of global inequalities.

I hate talking about COVID and I feel like it's so distracting and people try to make everything about COVID because it's so easy to do. Maybe that is just a hot take but this argument that sinovac sucks because people still contracted COVID is at best a really lazy way to try to say US vaccines are better.

Also the same person implied masking prevents people from contracting the virus... instead of preventing you from spreading it to others like w

Not sure if this has been posted on lemmy yet but I was so excited to see Roland on Ben Norton's podcast yesterday. His work has been instrumental to how I see the PRC. If you can get ahold of his book I would highly recommend.

My relationship with balloon is over. Airship is now my best friend.

That is all.

Furthermore we are seeing major euro chemical corps taking preservation measures that may be a signal for a death spiral for the competitiveness of European capital. We also see leaders like Macron pissed that the US is in such a good spot relatively speaking. All of this is only getting harder to watch. The US truly is cannabalizing the west.

Not sure how long we have until Biden pivots towards the OILagarchs (sorry) but the fact that US troops are apparently being pulled out of the kingdom is like a dream come true. We truly live in a time of qualitative change. The world is shifting polarity faster than the US can keep up. These maneuvers by OPEC+ are such a game changer because it softens the benefits that the US is getting from the situation in Europe. Anything that infuriates the US like this has to be worth paying attention to anyway.

Steps up onto soapbox

According to Zak Cope in Divided World Divided Class, if the global economy was rearanged equitably income in the global north would drop by an average of 240%. This is a massive barrier to building socialism. Mitigating this problem should be a top priority for communists. If we ignore this we risk failing to build socialism, failing to show international solidarity, and we risk obstructing socialism's construction around the world.

As unions and labor organizations become more necessary to maintain quality of life in the core, it is of paramount importance that these unions are plugged in to a greater political movement that is based on international solidarity. If all we can achieve is labor organizing that fights for marginal gains for workers in the core, then we fight for maintaining imperialism.

We must find a way to proliferate international proletarian politics into unions and organizations. If we cannot then inevitably we subject ourselves to the

Just got done listening to one of their episodes. I've heard several before and had to quit because its just kind of garbage. More than just bad content that usually fails to engage with whatever it is talking about, but its actually pretty reactionary.

When I look back on how the sub for the podcast was so big and influential I just cringe.
