Gaslighting. An unhealthy amount of gaslighting.

Here’s how Biden can still win:

  1. Rig the election blatantly and without regards for optics, cling on to the throne by any means necessary.
  2. Start a 9/11-level incident, preferably an international incident far from home, like exploding a tactical nuke or a dirty bomb and blame it on Russia or someone. Use the international incident as a national security threat to push endless fearmongering into the public consciousness: “Do you want Donald Trump to protect you when America is under attack? Trump wants to let Putin nuke the whole world!”
  3. Pull a Chen Shui-bian, preferably a deranged MAGA gun nut who hates the “Biden crime family”, use the incident and sympathy to call upon the upstanding American citizens to “stop MAGA fascism from destroying our democracy and civil society”.

The Fall of the House of Biden

Anti-imperialism.

Stop wrecking other people’s countries so they don’t have to migrate to the Imperial Core as economic migrants and maybe it will be people from the white countries, now deprived of their colonial exploits, who have to look to migrate to the Global South to seek economic opportunities.

I’m pretty sure this is just a message to the Democratic bourgeois donors that “don’t worry, Project Ukraine is safe” given Hunter’s prominent role in Ukraine.

People often think that when politicians release statements in the press, the messages are meant for them. But you would be mistaken, they are not talking to you, you are not that important, they are talking to the bourgeoisie, the only class that matters.

lol so the coup failed and some people are gonna be hanged.

Or you can read it as a Biden’s “chess move” which I proposed the other day (let me indulge in this one ok):

Zhou Baideng: Listen Jack, I’m gonna let a hundred flowers BLOOOMMM. I’m gonna see been who’s been standing in our way and I’m gonna weed them out.

Project Ukraine is far too important for the Democratic donor class and those who have recently been calling for it to be ramped down had to be purged.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again: by July 4th people will remember Biden’s bad debate performance as merely having a cold. Libs are extremely good at being selective about their memory.

Until I see a left wing party or organization that is serious about taking power, there is nothing to be done.

There is no organized Left in the US, these are not serious people. They only want some marginal improvements for the workers, a more humane version of capitalism, not seriously planning and strategizing about taking power.

Look at Lenin and Mao, even at their worst moments when the movements had been reduced to mere thousands under endless persecutions, they were already plotting for the end game.

EDIT: I noticed I might have been too harsh since we have some comrades here who are involved in organizational work. You all are doing the best you can, but it doesn’t change the fact that the current structure of left wing organizations do not threaten capital, and do not demonstrate a viable strategy towards taking power.

I’ve been saying this for a long time: we can do self-moderation here on Hexbear if they make all upvotes public, so we know who are the reactionaries instantly.

This will reduce the workload of the mods and also allow some democratic work to be done by the users as well.

It all makes sense now. I always wondered how the heck did my comments get so many upvotes in the news mega.

Maybe do it on Hunter then. Then claim “if you’re not voting for Biden now, you’re selling this country out to Trump”.
