I was learning about lynching at ages when I had a sippy cup & nap time. White people don't know so much about this country's history of terror until late in life. They're not equipped for this moment without the cultural memory. They won't listen to those who have it.

They are pushing *propaganda*, and if you do not counter it with something equally forceful or stronger, then you're going to keep losing. They manipulate information and data instead of pretending that seeing it “objectively” will change hearts and minds. Please understand this.

Fascists won't be explained away to a public that is heavily conservative, uneducated, and propagandized. Playing by the fake rules of objectivity aids the construction of deeper authoritarianism. They know you'll stay fenced in your self-constructed losing box that they can outmaneuver every time.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

Tyranny doesn’t do term limits. Fascism will not be waited away. Looking for fantasies that are going to make an extremely upsetting situation easily go away is not the best use of time. It’s good to deal with the reality of where we’re at. prismreports.org/2026/01/07/a...

In the colonial era, imperialist war was territorial. In the neocolonial era, imperialist war shifted to regime change. In the era of extra-colonial competitive control, even regime change becomes unnecessary—often counterproductive.

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.
Is there any modern precedent for abducting a head of state?

Plenty of examples of coups, assassinations and domestic trials, including show trials, but this is like a Crusader Kings plot.

Thinking about Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti this morning as the news comes in about Venezuela. The word “empire” is not an exaggeration. This is how it regularly defines itself.
