11·5 天前I disagree.
These experiments have failed and continue to fail every time; we need to learn from them.
The MAGA experiment also failed.
“Now is the time to build a movement independent of the Democratic and Republican Parties.”
We need to build a working-class movement that is independent from the duopoly.

Gopnik refers to a Russian and Slavic subculture and nationality stereotype about lower-class men, who typically wear Adidas tracksuits, enjoy hardbass music and pose for pictures in the so-called “Slav Squat” or “Gopnik Squat” position with a bottle of vodka, or other hard liquor, in hand. Gopnik memes surfaced en masse on Reddit, 4chan and Twitter / X in the 2010s, spreading into the 2020s. A common catchphrase associated with Gopniks is the Russian slang, “Cyka blyat,” loosely meaning, “Fucking bitch,” in English. In September 2025, Gopniks became attributed to Groypers after a photo of Tyler Robinson, the suspected shooter in the Charlie Kirk Assassination, appeared in a viral image wearing a Gopnik Halloween costume. The connection between Gorypers and Gopniks was largely speculative, however, and Robinson’s political affiliations had not yet been publicized.[1]
They Just Bombed Greta Thunberg’s Boat [Caitlin Johnstone | Sep 08, 2025 | caitlinjohnst.one]
Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): [https://youtu.be/WUFZWXitNQA]
spoiler
A drone appears to have struck a boat from the Global Sumud Flotilla while it was docked at a Tunisian port on its way to bring aid into Gaza, temporarily starting a fire. Nobody on board was harmed. The boat was reportedly crewed by the same activists who had attempted to sail to Gaza on the Madleen this past July, including Greta Thunberg.
And it is here worth noting that Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir recently said that Global Sumud Flotilla activists must be designated as terrorists and treated accordingly, in order to “create a clear deterrent” against foreign parties attempting to bring aid into Gaza by sea.
It is no mystery who the prime suspect is in this attack.

This is such a dark and surreal timeline. I keep imagining going back in time a few years and trying to explain to someone from like 2019 that in 2025 there’d be a solid chance that the Israeli military might assassinate Greta Thunberg.

Western officials have been falling all over themselves to express their deepest condolences and sympathy for six Israelis who were killed by Palestinian gunmen at a bus stop in Jerusalem on Monday, with statements pouring out from the US State Department, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, and EU Spokesman Anouar El Anouni.
Over six dead Israelis. After watching scores of Palestinian civilians get butchered by Israel every single day for two years without uttering a peep about them.
Make no mistake, with all this weeping and garment rending about six dead Israelis the leaders of the western world are openly and explicitly telling us that they do not regard Palestinians as human beings.

Israel supporters are so crazy and evil that the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum recently retracted a statement saying “Never again can’t only mean never again for Jews” after objections from Zionists.
The museum issued a statement saying, “We recently posted an item on social media that was part of a pre-planned social media campaign intended to promote inclusivity and community that was easily open to misinterpretation by some to be a political statement reflecting the ongoing situation in the Middle East. That was not our intent. It has been removed to avoid any further confusion.”
Think about how gross your position has to be for you to be all hey, let’s say no genocide for ANYBODY, and then immediately have to come back and clarify that you definitely weren’t saying no genocide for the Palestinians.
❖
Cracks me up that Israel supporters’ strongest argument that the Jews have claim to that land is “Okay, so, thousands of years ago, some people with similar religious beliefs to modern Israelis were forced to leave.”

The point is to make forceful opposition to the Gaza holocaust mainstream. That is the goal here. This will necessarily entail celebrities cynically joining the cause far too late, politicians whose politics we despise joining our side, copious amounts of liberal cringe, and the same western media outlets who helped manufacture consent for this genocide suddenly pivoting against it.
Those of us who’ve been opposing Israel’s western-backed holocaust from the beginning should want this. We should welcome it, because we care about ending this mass atrocity more than we care about feeling superior to the mainstream liberals and conservatives who are carrying this issue into the front and center of public consciousness. Moving this issue out of the political fringes and into the mainstream has always been the goal; it’s too important to gatekeep.
As this issue picks up more and more steam, our role will shift from one of drawing attention to a historic injustice to one of leadership. The people in our communities whose attention is suddenly being steered toward this issue will need our help forming a clear picture of what’s been happening this whole time.
This will mean teaching people about the complicity of our own western governments. How both major political parties have played a role in inflicting this nightmare upon the Palestinians, not just since 2023 but for generations prior. How the mass media lied to them and manipulated their understanding of what was really happening. How we’ve been deceived about all the acts of mass military slaughter our government has involved itself in over the years. How we really don’t live in the kind of world we were taught about in school.
The mainstream public opening their eyes to Gaza creates an opportunity for us to help them open their eyes to so much more. Don’t waste your energy getting annoyed at the normies showing up late to the protest and saying naive things. Instead, be glad of their participation, help them form a truth-based understanding of what’s really going on with Palestine, and use this moment to radicalize them against the machine that gave rise to this horror.[1]
From the little we know of the US military:
A Venezuelan boat was bombed by the US military, killing 11 people.
North Koreans were killed on a fishing boat in 2019 by the US military.
513·11 天前Wikipedia has mountains of useful information, but it is limited and censored when it comes to “controversial” and dissident information, due to it being the status quo and the establishment.
It is known the three-letter agencies have a lot of power controlling and censoring information in media and social media; this includes Wikipedia.
We should always question and be highly critical of these types of organizations and groups, similar to anything politicians and the military spew out.
Thanks for your informative comment; it seems many don’t know or care to question status quo sources and establishment organizations.
Whistleblowers and independent journalists have spoken about this for many years.

We can all learn from those we may not agree with 100%.
I think the views expressed in this video are more in line with the working class thoughts of what our government has done and continues to do in the world.

Good.
We need to force politicians to do the bidding of the working class.
It is sad and embarrassing that others from the blue team had to call them out instead of them listening to the working class, activists, and the independent commentators.
We should be building an independent, from-the-duopoly, working-class party.
Chris Smalls and Kshama Sawant are some of the people fighting for real change and improving the lives of the working class, instead of being okay with crumbs from the duopoly.

21·17 天前All is well!
I had a similar reaction when I was gathering information!
You do know that Democrats were in power before Trump…
Crumbs were given to the working class.
These experiments continue to fail, but people continue to go back to the duopoly, expecting different results.
That is why every four to eight years we are reminded that the duopoly is against the working class.
Be willing to listen to Chris Smalls, independent activists, and third parties so that you understand their solutions and point of view.
We need to address the systematic issues our society faces, or it will continue to worsen.
An independent, from-the-duopoly, working-class movement and party is what is being proposed.
It will not be easy, but it must be done.
To keep it short and simple:
"I don’t criticize Democrats cuz I side with Republicans, I criticize Democrats Cuz THEY side with Republicans.
Our fight is not Left/Right anymore, it is Us vs.Them.
We have 2 corporate party’s that serve Wall St/War Machine/Corporations & crush everyone else."
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.” — George Orwell, 1984
Political spectum is a circle…
Hahaha, interesting.
All is well, peace.

True.
The duopoly loves to use tragedies to push fear into the populace so as to increase the police state.
