Politico's "dream economy". Hopefully future whistleblowers survive this time.

I wouldn't be surprised if the imperialist lackeys started hurling their favourite anti-semitic slurs ("self-hating jew") against her at this stage, if they haven't already.

If it's a dream not even Harris' potential voters will notice then maybe it's not their dream Politico's praising.

Class analysis feels like a cheat-code to deciphering liberal media.

"The history of all hitherto existing societies is a history of class struggles"

As there are class struggles of women against the oppression by men there are class struggles of nations of peoples against their imperialist/colonial oppressors. If one understands that material conditions can often inform one's worldview and if those material conditions lend to the privilege of white supremacism then one can easily see why some suffragettes could, for example, support the British Union of Fascists.

Always think about dialectics (for example the interaction between the evolving ideas of a person and their surrounding environment, how they influence each other back and forth) and one will see, unfortunately, why solidarity is not universal and why some people's empathetic intelligence is stunted.

TLDR: they wanted a more equitable share of the white bourgoisie's loot.

He is one of the few stand-ups whose clips I have watched repeatedly every now and then over the past decade. I think "Reverse Racism" was one of the first ones I seen of his:

Absolutely puts the likes of Russell Peters (whose comedy I generally dislike; Uncle Tom vibes) to shame.

Authoritarianism against capital - especially USAmerican - is why your tears Mr David a-million-Iraqis-murdered Frum are nourishing.

I think it’s because of racism more often than not.

I think this plays a large factor. One can see this in the Philipines and India too (for the general populatuon rather than marxists alone). I think the propaganda often ends up being an advertisement for a license of bigotry rather a tool of "mind-control".

Their retorts remind me of Nazi Safety Advocacy (Australian stand-up Aamer Rahmen): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKICKcMU3MU

A potential approach: "Isn't it funny how the demonic military-industry-complex that bombs and tortures people all around the world seem to have similar goals as you? I wonder how they managed to convince someone as smart as you that what they did was Christian? Matthew 24:24 - For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive"

However, be aware of the problems with theories of brainwashing -

With regards to mental health: even in a capitalist society universal health care would go along way. However, we have to unfortunately contend whether that alone would help abolish the superstructures - including the institutions of imperialism and colonisation - that enable the license of bigotry.

For most things the majority of the world is on our side. And for the rest is partly why MLs aren't tailists.
