Man, I had people arguing with me this would be the “smart” move for Trump but he’s too politically dumb for the optics (unlike the “clever” Germans). I wish people would stop worrying about the “politics” and just wake the f@k up to the actual events. Politics is a game of intentional deception

Here’s some money! Now, give it back to us before you use it on your kids, peasant!

It can only be suicidal intentions. I mean, I know it’s also possible that they really are this stupid, but damn, that would be an entirely new dimension of stupid.
Oh wait… it’s *those guys* again

See, here’s the thing for a lot (all) these dudes:
it’s hard to to be a cis white male in America when all you really want is to be a persecuted savior to all of humanity

Also, just now “getting there” reflects incredibly bad judgement and a moral line shifted way too far into immoral territory. And these are the people who will suck the air out of the room now that they’ve “joined”

And by “heterodox” I assume you mean that bland version of closeted bigot conservative posing as a leftist, or former leftist?

And now he puts out a timid and cowardly letter that just can't speak the clear and blatant truth. This letter is just depressing for anyone paying attention and looking for real leadership in this moment.

This insipid letter makes the case: the Democratic party is complicit in everything we are seeing now. They serve to funnel potential revolutionary rage into meager gestures toward accountability set to fail from the start.
It's on the people now and we must stand together.

The State is not it's people, but we have been warped by it's message, and even when we would believe ourselves to be helping, we are only doing more damage. This moment is unique because the lines are so clearly drawn and that deepest part of our humanity is able to act in genuine mutual care

And yes, a lot of us are waking up to the state's immorality. I hope we don't mistake this moment as an aberration and come to understand this is the totality of our history (a very long history). The answer was here when we came, but we have attempted to destroy it and remake it in our image

Thanks for pointing out that I still have to respect the agency of the people I would offer to help. It's too easy to get caught up in "knowing what's best."

As an academic, I fell victim to the promise and myth of "progress". Trapped in that belief, we pursue a Primrose path to a fictional place that was already here all along. Perhaps I can help those others who still believe it was anything other than a lie to understand. Not an easy task

So when I ask: "What can I do?" The answer is to start by humbly helping those in urgent need. Every inch of the Earth matters.

We convinced ourselves that land is an exclusive right to be owned. All we have destroyed over the centuries starts with our abuse of land, the ultimate source of life.
The land will reunite with it's people and heal. The path starts at those most viscerally suffering our arrogance in this moment

If we are to build anew, let's build multiple and let those previously marginalized, but brave and prescient voices guide across all the new beginnings. If there is a lesson here, it is to start with community next go round

Well we may have some disagreements on this, but I'm sure we both agree this has to end ASAP. We can all do what we can do to help that happen. And it will end, sooner or later. My hope is we then look honestly to our history and center the brave, clear-sighted voices that warned us from the start

I’m going to bow out, but this is dangerous revisionism. I know we are on the same side of this, but I suspect what we are seeing is going exactly to plan for the big picture, but they underestimated the power of community

But this is one example and not faithful to the actual events, nor the public perception. I’m not saying MAGA are genius strategists, I’m saying they don’t care. It doesn’t take a genius to destroy everything when you have unchecked imperial power and the other side is playing on the wrong board

Don’t mistake Trump’s buffoonery for the decision making behind the scenes. There is a playbook, and it is to create mass chaos and violence. They are not playing politics and you lose if you think they are

So did they actually do anything of the sort? Are you implying the Nazis were the genius strategists to the MAGA party bungling? Isn’t there another narrative/truth: both orgs functioned to explicitly destroy everything around them as violently and recklessly as possible
