It's evil but also just the fucking tackiest culture humanity has ever achieved

death to america

Camacho also created the grenadiers to put down labor strikes during the world war iirc

a military dictatorship would be something that could run the US military better (basically nothing else though) which is not good for the third world.

financialized destruction of US fighting power is a positive; that going so far as to provoke a reaction that could fix it to some extent is not so good.

yeah we read some of what he said of Cuba in class, and his post-presidency like going on the Russel Tribunal was cool. it's just a shame he didn't set anything up to keep the left ascendant after he left

maybe in the short term, but the run on effect of this politicization will be the military interfering with civilian government out of self interest.

did lazaro cardenas ever realize how much he fucked up or did he think antireelectionismo was like, the main issue

it's very difficult to put into a thesis but the more i think about and see the CHUD worship of McDonalds in reference to Trump/MAGA the more i think Shock Treatment was right

if you haven't watched it its about the fusion between TV evangelism, fast food, mental sanitation, and fascism in the US. fascism in countries with an actual culture celebrate traditions, and ape after a supposed glorious past. the US has neither culture nor past, so the icons of fascist mysticism have become corporations---and this may very well be why 'woke' marketing is viewed as an existential issue to fascist freaks

the bourgeoisie (bourg=city/market town, compare burg/berg) were the middle class in the feudal system, not serfs or peasants, not clergy or lords, they were the craftspeople and merchants that lived in cities.

this same middle class is the ruling class of bourgeois nations like the united states. US politicians are most enthusiastic about helping themselves. and this is laundered to portions of the working class who imagine themselves part of that class, through the characteristics of the 'middle class': unlike nobility which comes with a title, the bourgeoisie do not have a prescribed job title or an authority that they derive legitimacy from. they can be moneychangers, rentiers, industrialists, independent craftspeople (petit-bourgeoisie), successful professionals that parlay accumulated wealth into property, etc---it's fucking complicated---and it is unstable. if and when the wealth and property is stripped of an individual or family, they no longer belong to the class. So it is very easy for people experiencing more comfort than the poorest parts of society to imagine themselves as part of such an encompassing and flexible class. Own a house (something a literal peasant could, then renting the fields from the lord)? middle class. Own penny stocks? middle class. Literally just think you're wealthier than your poorest neighbor? middle class.

i have taken your shark and i have smoooooshed its front muhahahahaha!

it's very narrow i guess, people who are retired and completed the 20 years for a pension before 60? some clause lets the military call those people back to active duty or something. but you go down the joint chiefs of staff they're almost all 60+ and the retired ones are definitely older so whats the point?

they could change the rules ig but the chilling effect of something like that would be insane, the entire military hierarchy will be terrified to do anything for fear of getting fucked 20 years later for it lmao

i think he's personally relating to the rainforest as an 'issue' through the lense of labor, before expanding it to environmentalism and climate change. lol.
