    Wait what sites are down? Just checked the ones I normally use and they're fine?

    Also, just to say, I think there's this big learning curve with torrents cause people aren't straight forward with others ask for advice (told what not to do rather than what to do) and there's also just too much fear mongering about viruses.

    I live in the UK. It's effectively an island of Karens. Anyone causing trouble or causing a fuss would be considered an enemy no matter how fascist the government is getting. As long as the state maintains decorum and the King is on the throne telling everyone to behave, a massive chunk of the British proletariat aren't gonna do shit and will rat out any people's army.

    It's also a country with very few places for guerrillas to hide. There's no hills and mountains to the extent somewhere like Italy has. No vast countryside with lots of forests and jungles. Apart from the Scottish Highlands it's not practical terrain for it. It's very urbanised and there's cameras everywhere. Maybe we could operate out of one of the more rundown cities idk. Or it would have to be some super elaborate thing with thousands of sleeper agents spread all over the country.

    Best we can probably hope for is economic crisis leading to balkanisation leading to the formation of at least one long term commune, council communist situation or socialist state forming. Short of that, some other, more radically inclined nation on the mainland having a revolution and invading and forcing in a communist government from above like the USSR did to eastern europe.

    Yeah that's actually a conspiracy to stop white people from being able to eat anything. I'm part of the underground organisation spearheading it. I'm currently trying to encourage the CC to attempt making mexican hot chocolate the standard.

    Idk who's more annoying, the disney adults who make this shit their whole personality, or the people like this who have this weird, violent obsession with them. All these supposed marxists who think the height of materialist criticism is rallying against a handful of corporate products.

    We need to stop crediting Bernie with making people socialist. It's great man theory and it's anti-materialist bs. Bernie did not invent socialism. He was just the guy who capitalised on a lot of people feeling dissolutioned and turning toward left-wing ideas. Many of us would have found our way to the left without Bernie. If it wasn't him it would have been one of the numerous "left tubers" cropping up around the same time, or the actual left parties trying to assert a presence or some other SocDem grifter trying to convince people that the liberal party is the path to socialism.

    In reality, the "Bernie moment" has been a road block for far more people than a pipeline. He claimed what he was selling was socialism and people fell for it and now everyone's dissolutioned, waiting for the next Bernie or else still trying to work within the party that screwed him. He got a lot of people who could have been genuinely radicalised in a period of economic turmoil to hitch their wagon to the "progressive wing" of the DNC and they're not letting go.

    Bernie killed leftist momentum in the US. He didn't ignite it. It began with Occupy and it was derailed by his bullshit grifting. Guy should have just run as DSA or independent ffs. He's right-wing for a SocDem ffs.

    Fucking hell, someone get Paramount to greenlight this. This would be fucking hilarious premise for a series. Better than Lower Decks.

    Agreed. And the biggest issue for me with the official poster is the lack of vibrancy. It's the drab "serious adult reboot" colours for some reason.

    Yeah unless there's any black women who want to educate us on the reality that black women have been historically had their eyes erased or something, this is just fucking weird.

    They didn't even like try to edit her to make her "more white" or something, like in terms of her facial features.

    Sometimes people are seriously just oversensitive and looking for enemies where there are none.

    At the end of the day, a lot of the big Bluesky proponents were/are people who think Elon Musk is satan incarnate, an exceptional evil. Zero class consciousness, zero materialist thought. Idealists of the highest order, very easily led by aesthetic socialism.

  • The Anti-Fascist Action were backed by the German Communist Party. The Iron Front were set up by SocDems as an anti-communist alternative to AntiFa. Because as we all know, the only way to fight disease is to oppose medicine and promote a homeopathic snake oil instead.

    I feel like assassination attempts, especially in this day and age, are an indication that a given political faction has been pushed to the brink. And I think the fact that we have two, maybe three, attempts by Republicans trying to murder their own electoral candidate is an indication of strong but seemingly silent, discontent within the party. Now we know this exists on the Democratic side as well but they haven't started trying to kill Harris or Biden yet for various reasons. Regardless, it's clear that strong discontent exists within "both" parties. I think November is gonna be a competition to see who can lose the least amount of votes to third parties and write-in candidates personally. It's gonna be interesting to watch. I'm not American so it's more of an abstract case-study to me. I'm just hoping as few innocent people suffer as possible, whatever the outcome.
