“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”

oh shit waddup

This is a narrative I've been seeing crop up in some radlib places. Is it at all true? I thought the US backed SA pretty extensively mostly. Anyone have any good sources on this claim?

The narrative is that Musk has some long term grudge with USAID over this.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed the three soldiers who were aboard the chopper were a "fairly experienced crew" doing a "required annual night evaluation."

The call sign was reported as PAT25 which is a specific call sign for the transportation of VIPs in DC area.

PAT US Army Priority Air Transport (Andrews AFB)

Why would a training flight use that call sign? Wouldn't a different call sign be used if it was just a training evaluation flight?

It has been engineered to be a torture box that makes any :bloomer: Star Trek fan into a capitalist realism :doomer:

It's tailored slop

time is a flat circle

An USAin is traveling in a socialist country and has a mental/physical breakdown related to work stress and poor diet/health issues. They are admitted to a mental health facility, and they initially believe they are being forcibly being re-educated and/or other red scare nonsense.

The show would be part psyche thriller (USAin perspective), medical procedural for the socialist medical workers, with maybe some mockumentary elements for added comedy.

The staff would be trying to figure things out and repeatedly dumbfounded by the lab results. Microplastics and PFAS well beyond known limits, etc.

Eventually the USAin starts to get better and appreciate the socialist society and medical care.

Meanwhile their family/partner still thinks they are kidnapped/imprisoned. End of season would involve a standoff with US military "rescue operation" being planned. Perhaps the military shows up, but they no longer want to go back to USA.

Anyway, just a funny idea for a story that would depict the reality of hell world via contrast with a socialist society.

With the tiktok and redbook stuff, this might be pretty on-trend currently.
