Its been a while.
Since I last updated this blog, WordPress has changed so much I barely recognize it, and my motivation for writing long-form basically evaporated at the start of this ongoing pandemic, the genocide, the wars, the…. destruction of public institutions, looting of the federal government and economy, the actual fascist coup that has taken over the Whitehouse and Fed, and so many more uplifting writing prompts. It has been hard to do anything. Watching so many people remove their masks and choose eugenics instead of protecting one another has been hard to live through as an immune-compromised family, and I’ve lost a lot of empathy I think. It’s just burned right out of me.
Where do I begin after such a long hiatus and after so much predictable chaos? Welp, I thought this would be a good start:
Imagine being an officer of the “law” in a nation that defeated Nazis in a World War just a generation ago, to then find yourself standing in front a car dealership that belongs to a man who’s an open Nazi & part of an ongoing coup, protecting it from angry anti-fascists — defending a Nazi from the descendants of the “Greatest Generation” who died on the beaches and in the snow in Germany protecting our way of life.
Imagine that. “Ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears”, is I think a relevant partial Orwell quote at this time. The Nazis are already here, and we allowed them to blend in since the end of WW2.
A brief review of recent events, while my patience lasts
So what brings me back? A deep, unfathomably immense sense of rage, along with a modest hope that many establishment voters and supporters will *finally* see this regime (both sides, Blue and Red Team) for what they are and support meaningful general action, new parties, and new ideas. It’s time to realize that these 2 parties, their politics, their ideas, are *dead*.
Here we are, on the precipice of totalitarian fascism — as folks from the leftist, Marxist tradition warned might happen(and already happened in Germany) in America & the West for over 140 years — built on the last 50 years of Reaganomics, the endlessly useful Monroe Doctrine, the Fox News/Brietbart/conservative media favorite idea that crime is always up when crime is consistently, overall, down, the ever-escalating pysch manipulation from (now) openly fascist social media corporations, the endless erosion against corporate accountability and social norms that comes from entities like John Birch Society, Heritage Foundation, ALEC, “Save the Children”, KOCH, and a literal horde of other similar entities, local and national, and of course endless non-defensive war, coups, cold war, backing for extremist groups, and all the propaganda money can buy.
FREE PALESTINE! The fully US-backed, US-enabled extermination of Palestinians continues, with the conquering savages bragging about condos and bourgeois accommodations they plan to build on the remains of Palestine! FREE PALESTINE!!
The COVID19 Pandemic rages, upends lives
On top of the political meltdown and economic chaos, a pandemic which began in late 2019 continues to this day with basically zero mitigation strategies in place, on top of a late-stage capitalist oligarchy whose corporate leaders, connected to the fascist state, are trying to FORCE all workers who have the ability to work at home to go back to the office. What the country is doing is the OPPOSITE of mitigation strategies; it is acting to ensure as many people as possible become infected, and this is crystal clear and out in the open. They chose eugenics. Nobody ever tried to shield the most vulnerable, they were simply told to stay home, and every other possible harm reduction strategy was also attacked, such as public masking. You might be a “pro Hamas thug” if you wear a mask outside.
“On October 13[2020] the White House confirmed that it is embracing what the Los Angeles Times editorial board calls the “let people die” strategy in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The strategy involves deliberately letting the novel coronavirus rip through the population while attempting to shield the most vulnerable, such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions.”
Let’s be clear: RTO(Return To Office) is:
-so that you can use part of your paycheck to stimulate their local economy,
-so you can risk your health and safety every day to justify their immense real-estate spends,
-so your faces and identities can be captured on the ever-growing public surveillance network the state spent billions on,
-so “app” creators can continue sucking down movement, retail, and other data to train their fucking “AI” with,
-so that CEOs and executives with authoritarianism and cruelty in their hearts can force people to “show their faces”, despite this having no benefit to productivity at all.
These are elements of what we call “Inverted Totalitarianism“, and where that exists, regular old totalitarianism follows. For example, even the government’s own Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS), which has not been purged by the fascist Trumpists at the moment of this posting, shows “benefits for some, but neutral overall” (benefits vs drawbacks of remote work).
A Wall St. darling publication, Forbes, published this study early 2022 that shows benefits in real data across the board, including productivity, retention, happiness, health, etc, but this study includes more survey data directly from employees on top of the statistics pulled from their analytics, which one could suggest is more relevant to the topic than the analytics-only studies. Unless how the employer feels about the employee is all that matters, and employee satisfaction is irrelevant(per other studies that show 50/50)?
The non-defensive wars, the genocide, the global chaos of Tech Bro fascism
OF COURSE American fascism would arrive wrapped in an American flag, carrying a bible they just picked up for the first time 3 days before the election, covered in 4chan memes, rolling in fiat-currency money-laundering and fear-mongering about xenophobic nonsense. Tech Bro fascists literally bought the election using an immature, impotent patchwork of laws governing “cryptocurrency” transactions leading up to this election, spending record amounts of money promoting Trumpism, as well as taking over all major social media platforms and removing moderation for hate speech and discrimination.
Promoting Trumpism means, specifically, running propaganda about secret incoming invasions, UFO and alien conspiracies, vaccine conspiracies, trans phobias and conspiracies, Democrat conspiracies, election conspiracies, but not ONE fucking conspiracy involving themselves being run over by the Monopoly Man pretending to be a Patriot. Not one conspiracy says “hey we may have been fucked over by the rich guy”. Not one.
And so, like under Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, and before I was alive, the Palestinian Genocide continues. The endless Nakba that has burned horror, mass death, and constant resistance into the minds and hearts of the Palestinians, whose land has slowly been stolen from them, in violation of Israel’s own law and international law, in full view of the world, for SEVENTY YEARS. This is waves of ethnic cleansing and land theft, supported 100% by the US, Britian, and its closest 3 ally states, with the whole operation protected politically from scrutiny and sanctions by those few nations with veto power at the UN.
And now, the Israel Zionist, fascist problem is becoming much larger, with Israel openly declaring their plans to conquer the land around them to build a Zionist state “prophesied” in their book of mythology, the Talmud, as well as seen in other Abrahamic mythological texts that mention it. If Israel is allowed to finish the genocide, and then continue on to menace the larger zone around them, this is YET ANOTHER potential larger war and massive loss of life, which is of course extremely advantageous to the “5 eyes” western nations that have colonized, conquered, and savagely restrained much of Asia, Africa, and south America for 100s and 1000s of years.
Israel is a Western project. It began with the Balfour Declaration, and it may likely end in nuclear/other holocaust. The land does not belong to Israel, it belongs to indigenous Palestinian Muslims who have lived there in one form or another for 1000s of years. Zionism is religiously-based conquest of the kind we thought we were rid of since the Dark Ages ended.
Russia, Ukraine, NATO, others
We all grew up with things like James Bond, Rocky and Bullwinkle, the Manchurian Candidate, Strangelove, “The Russians are coming, The Russians are coming”(not satire), Rocky, The Day After, Red Dawn, and recently things like Stranger Things, dozens of computer war games that show Russia/USSR experimenting with occult magic and satanism, multidimensional technology, and it’s always some sort of “super evil” world domination or world destruction scheme — that they can’t control because they are permanently incompetent. Many movie villains, outside primary Russophobic content, frequently have Russian/Slavic accents, and this has gone on for basically 70 years.
The US has been involved with dozens of proxy conflicts around the world, including a few against Russia, that have long been in the history texts. We use clandestine operatives & 3rd party extremist groups or individuals to carry out regime-change, assassinations, local propaganda, false-flag attacks, etc, including Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Iran-Contra(Nicaragua) rebels, specific anti-Castro Cuban exiles, Luis Posada Carriles (a CIA agent who organized the Bay of Pigs), Columbian anticommunists, Italian far right fascists, Kosovo(CIA supported the KLA), Syrian militants (against Assad, Russia, etc), and much, much more. Currently the situation in Sudan, Haiti, and in other parts of Africa are heating up with similar chaos, violence, and regime changes. We built the “School of the Americas” now called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation , which trained numerous people who would go on to commit atrocities and massacres in South American countries, and we did this for US-centric geostrategic goals in place since Monroe. I’m not even talking about the Banana Republics that kicked this off….
The US starts a lot of proxy wars and conflicts, and has lost TRILLIONS of dollars (we can’t find it. It’s possibly $12 TRILLION dollars) into a black hole of military and defense budgets. Where did all the money go? This is a pertinent question, and it is related to *every single active conflict* the US is involved with today, including Russia and Ukraine — which is an openly declared proxy war by the US, spoken of directly by US officials on more than one occasion, and openly designed to frustrate Russia + suck resources out of Ukraine.
If this is NOT a proxy war against Russia, then(this link is a search link – I am too lazy to list the dozens of times the US has funded Ukraine the in last 2 years) what is all *this* money and hardware, earmarked by US officials as “for war efforts”, going to? If this isn’t a proxy war, I’m Bullwinkle. Why did the US congress debate on the issue of “congressional funds and weapons falling into the hands of extremist groups, specifically the Azov Nazis of Ukraine“? We’ve been training, funding, and supplying Ukrainian separatists against pro-Russian elements, and for a while now.
Neoliberal Democrats melted into a puddle of nothing after losing twice, offer ZERO resistance & strategy
And there is just NO stopping them. The Marches for Causes are spinning up, and I believe I even saw some people I would describe as neoliberal (I could be wrong here) smash the window of a Tesla at a dealership! If this is true, this could mean some neoliberals are starting to see that their party of choice has sold them up the river, just like the fascist republican party sold all those dirt-poor, dangerously delusional white supremacists throughout the south, who imagined a Trump regime would help them, up their respective river. There is nothing from Democrats. Nothing from neoliberalism other than the vague, deeply troubling picture which is developing slowly today — they will run more garbage, do-nothing establishment candidates until the nation falls to its knees. This is a TWO PARTY OLIGARCHY and we have to start working together to defeat it.
What to do? Where to go?
GENERAL ACTION NOW!!! Before machine learning and “AI” are mature enough to make your labor strikes meaningless, or make it so that we have to extend them for so long that it hurts us more than them. Stop using “AI”! Most of it isnt even what you think “AI” is, it’s just machine learning (LLM) and auto-plagiarism shit. STOP allowing them to train and refine their machine learning databases by your participation! Stop believing that the totally unsustainable amount of energy they are using to generate the illusion of “AI” (sorry for a semi-paywall)can ever work on this planet! Understand that this technology will be used against us, it is already being used against us, and with fascists gaining governmental control in a technology phase like this one…. time is running out. STRIKE NOW, while the iron is hot, and while we still know what color the sky is.
