    It sucks to see people think government runs on vibes and magic, as though bombs sent through crocodile tears are any less deadly than bombs sent with glee.

    • thats what no material analysis does to a mf. there is a reason why the parasitic genocidal western bourgeoisie encourages idealist worldviews, as liberals will reassure people that the universe will eventually somehow work in our favor. meanwhile, the systems built around exploitation are using well-organized scientific methods. the people who expanded colonial power and the larger global capitalist system are utilizing scientific principles to enable exploitation while hiding these processes from the working class.

        100%. They think Trump is a warlock and his fascist magic will imbue the bombs both the DNC and GOP agree to send with extra power. That’s the only way their world view makes any sense at all, rather than looking at the world from a Materialist lense, there’s a grand battle of “Good vs Evil” fought in the ballot box, rather than economic interests and bourgeois infighting.

      It sucks to watch the knee jerk reaction as everyone rushes to defend because they are so afraid of Trump. Truly hampers progress on all sides with that attitude. We’re not saying something magical will happen. We aren’t saying a 3rd party will win. We are simply saying the genocide will continue because the US needs Israel for the Petro-Dollar, and once again lives are sacrificed to Mammon in the name of wealth.

        Exactly, hopefully people realize that genocide is unconditional because its roots are economic, not moral, and states don’t move according to morals.
