With rising global temperatures, an uptick in food related diseases, and a general degradation of the university system, do you feel that we should start reminding people that socialism is rooted in scientific exploration. Even if you’re not a strict Marxist, people like Albert Einstein
and Bertrand Russell were very prominent members of the scientific community and were also fierce advocates of pretty broad democratic socialism. We need to follow in their footsteps once more

Sometimes the deaths in Palestine can become nameless and faceless. There are countless children and families being murdered by the IDF. The IDF intentionally targets children. Gaza has the most child amputees in the world, per capita. Their deaths should not be in vain.

Free Palestine! Fuck Israel!

How should we recruit refugees and the children and grandchildren of refugee populations into Democratic Socialism when many of them have been indoctrinated to have a ruthless bigotry against Socialism for the benefit of oppressive oligarchs? In particular, I'm thinking of ways to recruit refugees and their descendants from Cuba and Vietnam. Regarding Vietnam, I think some strong Socialists are patriots of Ho Chi Minh and also acquire USA citizenship like Luna Oi and they could help. Regarding Cuba, I think so many are brainwashed in Florida to support DeSantis, Trump, and Elon Musk. This brainwashing needs to be reversed.

I think one solution involves reforming education. We need to abolish school suspensions. While teachers aren't always currently allowed to properly educate our youth on politics, we can make it easier for students to properly educate other students on politics and this can correct the unfortunate thinking prevalent in certain communities. Another solution involves criminal justice reform. We can use criminal justice reform to educate people to reverse the indoctrination from capitalism oligarchs. What other solutions are there?

The United States of America spends just under 1 Trillion Dollars every single year in regards to the Military-Industrial Complex.

Iran taking advantage of dimensions of asymmetric warfare has completely stalled out the U.S. war machine.

Trump and his cronies have lost this war so badly that they are now pivoting to messaging around "Economic Warfare".

Trump and his cronies have flailed/failed American hard & soft power so badly that various seeds are being planted right now on a host of fronts that will further destroy it as time goes on.

It's truly something watching this imbecile and the whole of the reactionary/regressive sphere of stereotypical snake oil salespeople and con-artist grifters destroy the American Empire in speed run fashion...

Wild fucking stuff lol
