Internationalist concepts such as “Arabs are people and we shouldn’t steal their shit and destroy their countries.” Yeah, I kinda do.
And that's why I think you and the other folks that drop that link all the time are silly. Because this is the context you're putting it in. And I'm not saying there's no material benefits involved, but most of y'all are not engaging with your own survivorship bias. Everybody but me, as the one true leftist that was decanted out of a vat from Havana, had their own intellectual and ideological hurdles just to get to the point of even being on this website. Which if we're being honest, is still just like a step above rad-liberalism. ~~We~~ I mean, y'all are very fucking lucky just to have reached this level of resisting our environment. But this is certainly not the end point and frankly the context y'all are constantly creating around the article, regardless of its contents, I think would have both 
and 
shining.
I'm gonna be real with you, one of the reasons I can't be bothered to finish that article is because it gets dropped in scenarios like this. I've already gotten into a whole struggle session over venting about it before so we don't need to get into it but, ya'll use it like a thought terminating cliche.
Go watch yourself a copy of Harlan County U.S.A. [Trailer] and you tell me that a modern day union member has even the slightest sliver of Class Consciousness that those folks did. Y'all keep expecting modern day libs to manufacture whole-clothe internationalist concepts out of, not even thin air, but an environment that is purposely designed to be caustic to the concepts. And it's just silly.
But what if somebody drinks their milkshake‽
Turns out joining a lib union doesn't undo a lifetime of propaganda.
Stop trying to make me learn things. I'm on my igno-maxxing arc.
The job of a firefighter is more noble but, in the US, they're about as likely to be chuds as their neighbors.
I was an episode early.
Drawing down too much of the oil too quickly could damage the salt caverns holding it, say experts.
Wait, are the US oil reserves just kept in a hole in the ground? Lol, I thought it was bunkers of tanks or something.
It's that Post 9-11 world reboot, Baby!

Should start seeing it go partial in the next half hour, I think. Unfortunately, it's gone cloudy by me. 
At least since I got up too early I got a decent shot of the full moon.
And made a new friend.
From in the Comments:
Just spinning that roulette wheel and making funnies. 
All colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do was run the family ranch with his sister, maybe play a gig or two with his band, and keep his family’s aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking as long as possible. He figures it will be a good thing when the transfer gate finally opens all the way and restores instant travel and full communication between Earth and his planet, New Sonora. But there’s a complication.
Even though the settlers were promised they’d be left in peace, Earth’s government now has other plans. The colossal Apex Industries is hired to commence an “eviction action.” But maximizing profits will always be Apex’s number one priority. Why spend money printing and deploying AI soldiers when they can turn it into a game? Why not charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines and remotely pilot them from the comfort of their homes?
The game is called Operation Bounce House.
Oliver and his friends soon find themselves fighting for their lives against machines piloted by gamers who’ve paid a premium for the privilege. With the help of an old book from his grandfather and a bucket of rusty parts, Oliver is determined to defend the only home he’s ever known.
I knocked this out last night. Dinniman could stand to read some Jakarta Method, but his heart's in the right place and he gets the larger strokes of imperialism. Definitely recommend checking it out. Might give you some ideas. 
Lol, this came out in Aug 2024. Dunno how I missed it.
Ran across this on insta today.
How do they know this:

There's plenty of people on Hexbear for me to get mad at without making anybody up.
Look I don't think #2 is non-existent, but I think it's extremely overblown in lieu of #1 and even moreso when you get down to the rank and file. The general public shift on a dime all the time with whatever the latest Hegemonic narrative is. The same folks who were proudly putting on cloth masks to 'flatten the curve' in 2020 will now tell you masks don't work while researchers are publishing studies comparing Covid to AIDS. And yet despite all that, Social Media organically circumventing Corporate media's presentation of the genocide in Gaza showed a massive shift in support of Palestinians in an extremely short time.
Oh, is that all.
