The Anti-Defamation League thinks that anti-Zionism is antisemitic, so they’re not my go-to authority on… anything. They run cover for Western settler-colonialism in the Levant.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

Relatedly, that internet-famous Nazi bar story:

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.” And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed.

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”

And i was like, ohok and he continues. "you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too. And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

JWZ: “I prefer to meet people where they are” says reasonable-sounding white dude holding court at a table in the back of a Nazi Bar.

It’s Bluesky. The Nazi Bar is Bluesky.

The memes are getting skibidier by the day.

For one thing, the duty to disobey unlawful orders goes all the way to the lowest E1.

History has shown that these are very seldom adhered to, and that adhering to them is a career-limiting—and even freedom-limiting—move. The whole War on Terror torture regime is just one example in the post-WWII era.

You really need to stop watching Maddow, Morning Joe, and the other Russiagate conspiracy theorists, because this sounds about as unhinged as QAnon conspiracy theorists.

The military is already struggling to recruit

This can be improved by worsening working class conditions and increased jingoism, which will almost certainly happen.

Claudia De la Cruz’s 2024 platform included reducing military spending by 90%, which is exactly what I’ve been arguing for years. That’s more than enough to ensure “homeland security.”

Sunday Guardian, Sep. 15: Documents show U.S. set in motion plan to oust [Bangladesh’s] Hasina

The plan to remove Sheikh Hasina as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh was set in motion in early 2019, documents provided to The Sunday Guardian indicate, and as is being claimed by her, it was executed by government funded agencies operating from the United States.

After Mongolia (1996), Haiti (2001) and Uganda (2021), Bangladesh became the latest victory for the US-based International Republican Institute (IRI), which was successfully able to bring about a regime change in Dhaka.

The IRI, as per internal documents provided to The Sunday Guardian show, was implementing the broader objectives of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The documents also show how the project was necessary to counter-balance India’s “interference”.

The Washington-based IRI’s stated objective is to “promote democracy through supporting democratic institutions, political parties, civil society, and electoral processes” and it serves as an implementing partner for USAID funded projects aimed at enhancing democratic governance. The IRI is one of the four core institutes of NED, alongside the National Democratic Institute (NDI), the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), and the Solidarity Center.

Sunday Guardian, Nov. 10: Biden administration backed organisations plotting colour revolution in Cambodia’

Documents and internal communications shared with The Sunday Guardian have indicated and claimed that a colour revolution, similar to what was witnessed in Bangladesh, was recently attempted and is still being attempted in Cambodia by the United States-based and -backed civil society and government groups. As per internal emails, reports and documents shared with The Sunday Guardian, a cocktail of agencies situated in the US and other countries, in collaboration with political dissenters in Cambodia used the issue of Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam Development Triangle Area (CLV-DTA) agreement to push the Cambodian government to the back foot and subsequently execute a long standing operation to remove the incumbent government from power and install a pro-Washington face in Phnom Penh.

Whatever you say, Maddow-pilled Russiagater.

UBI on its own is a dead end under capitalism, because companies would raise the prices of good & services to absorb it, and real estate prices & rents would similarly go up to absorb it. And you know that other social safety nets would be dismantled, on the excuse that UBI serves as their replacement. Those social services would be privatized, making the situation worse.
