Most of Israel is rightwing mostly because of conspiracy theories around the assassination of Yitzhak Rabbin.

They’re a post-culture war society, and they lost. It would be like of the views of the Trump administration just kept getting more and more popular until the country was 85% Trump supporters.

Dr. Frankenstein’s car, Dr. Frankenstein’s money, Dr. Frankenstein’s custom tailored suit.

The pterror!

You’re an asshole.

No, your defensiveness and the need to make everything into a head on and personal argument - like you’re showing deserves to be made fun of.

To that end, I’ll note, in this scenario I’m not being backed by the revolution workers of the world, nor am I attempting an uprising in the name of their revolution.

In THIS SCENARIO - I’m ending climate, and I’m backed by a A MAGICAL FUCKING GENIE.

Maybe get your head out of your arse, and stop treating everyone as if they must conform to your perfect political standards and mandatory need for debate. You fascist.

Beware I’m backed by a genie. He’ll probably give me wishes too.

Don’t be so serious. Don’t attack people if you’re not willing to listen to what they’re saying and have an ear for their intentions.

I don’t give a shit about the argument you want to have. I started this as a thought-experiment inspired by a comic. You can take your attempted persecution of me elsewhere. I ain’t playing that game.

Nor is the magical genie whose backing me in using an Ak, to end climate change. Which is the point of the post.

Son you’ve got the kind of internet addiction which means you mistake commentary on a scenario defined by a cartoon, as someone’s genuine political views and opinions.

I’m outlining the pragmatics of the cartoons claims as a thought-experiment, not expressing my genuine political views.

Of course I’m not about to go massacre workers in the name of climate change. Hence me saying it would be impossible to do in one lifetime with the given tool - an AK.

I’m doing this because it’s interesting to discuss the higher echelons and geopolitical structure that maintain the status quo of things like Capitalism, Geopolitics, and Climate Change.

But no, no massacres of workers today comerade.

Because there’s this thing Professor John Mearsheimer calls “The Blob” - which are all the forces of the status quo outside the US as the sole Super Power that keep neoliberal economics constrainted to a certain set of practices, a certain kind of lifestyle, a certain kind of military conflict in the world, in certain locations.

The Blob and the US are usually in agreement, but sometimes in conflict. Tackling industries head on is likely easier than going up against The Blob which can likely throw whole arms of modern, well equip, western soldiers at you.

Workers would just be easier to kill. They have less guns and less combat training.

It would require SO MUCH KILLING! Like more than you realize. Because there’s massive organizations like the world bank, OPEC, various families leading various countries across the world, the council on foreign relations, so many think tanks, oil rig workers, fracking magnates, all the people under all these people (so their underlings don’t just take command), even this is just the tip of the iceberg.

How many people perpetuate the global oil industry? Methane? Air travel? Petroleum based plastics? High CO2 emissions industries?

We’d probably surpass the Holocaust pretty quickly.

He wants it done quick before anyone looks at the results too closely.

You can re-calibrate tabulation machines - did you know that? Like if you had Bernie Sanders winning 400,000 votes and Trump, 300,000, you can calibrate the machine to switch those names.

I don’t think I do have to do that… no.

Are you sure It’s not low information voters who spend most of their time politically deactivated, feel disenfranchised from the economic controls that rule their lives, and have poor media literacy?

Russell is doing the right thing.

“Spine” being the most abnormal to have.

Finally an electable party in Japan!

Is that saying it still needs food and is just what’s going on as the food is digested?

Ao why tha fuck we be eating then.

No one knows the political lean of who didn’t vote.

I don’t think this has anything to do with it, because there are plenty of stadiums that don’t have built in snipers nests.

Yes, it’s in the air, it’s in what he says, the lies he tells, and whose emotions they’re aimed at. It’s in the American exceptionalism he sells.

That’s the vision the left has to fit into, and it’s been done before. Bernie was doing it in 2016.

Compare that coherent vision of American exceptionalism with this:

Tell lies that make them feel better than the lies the other guy is telling.

They’re libertarian business men who want little kingdoms of their own, they’re willing to play on fascism to get it, but they’re not going to be gunning people down in the streets. Especially not now interest rates are being cut by the fed, and the COVID recovery is ready to boost the economy again.

Part of why Trump won was people calling them fascist garbage and stupid. All the people Trump makes feel good about America took offense to that.

Trump bought into their offense by saying “I’m with you, I’m on your side, I’ll even drive the garbage truck. Hahaha”

… and the left’s only response was to double down with “you look stupid and crazy for not automatically agreeing with us, with no discussion or appeal from us”.

That same cycle of “you’re a stupid crazy fascist”

“no we’re playing to make ourseves feel happy and edgy, and unpopitician like”…

“Well that’s stupid and shouldn’t be popular”

Went on for 8 years. That emotional interaction was on repeat.The majority didn’t give them an off ramp or even try to appeal to them, or reason with them.

Studying fascism so you can call them fascist idiots better isn’t going to change the emotions at play, if anything it’s going to amplify them.

No, you have to make America’s history of exploitation and greed, of racism and corruption, of international business cartels, seem good and like winning. Because that’s how he makes them feel: like it’s fun and good and winning to be an American.

They’re saying they don’t want serious politics as usual. You’re saying “if I just call them fascist idiots better they’re agree with me that they’re fascist idiots!”

That’s not a discussion that’s going to resolve any different or better by perfecting your very serious and sad and angry condemnation of them.
