  • IMO it can always get worse. You can look to Ukraine and the Philippines as examples of just how bad it can get; at least for now they (Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Moldova, Georgia, etc) are ostensibly independent countries with some sort of self-interest and self-preservation.

    It’s one thing to have a Franco or Salazar in power, and another to have a Horthy or Quisling. And there are all sorts of creative things the west can use a fully compromised Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, etc. for (alongside the fact it would strengthen the western unified fascist front in the likely upcoming WW3), as can be seen with the Kenyan military police in Haiti, or the US’/western EU’s attempts to expand NATO activities to the entire globe (in Asia and west Africa in particular).


  • and yet the only thing the government is actually concerned with was civil unrest.

    It makes sense, if you think about it. All our country’s problems are self-inflicted; the system is acting exactly as intended.

    The individual culprits’ intents may not be exactly to revert the country back to feudalism (or to mask-off fascism), but collectively and effectively, it is what it is, and none of them are willing to change course (because it would eat into their bottom line). All the various rentiers that truly constitute the government and institutions of this country (the cartels/oligopolies, landlords, etc) are moving this country exactly in that direction.






  • I, personally, would be very hesitant to point someone to Rumble (or Twitch) in general, rather than to specific channels, whether they’re on Rumble or Twitch.

    Same, though as I see it that extends to all large western platforms, really. Twitch is generally more inoffensive (because its focus tends to be gaming, and so long as one avoids the chuds most channels are more apolitical than ghoulish), that said.

    I didn’t exactly find the leftist channels I mentioned on Rumble, admittedly- they’re the reasons I use it (Syrianalysis and Richard Medhurst are demonetized, and now I suppose Africa Stream is banned on YT). I basically followed channels I had already been watching on YouTube, as a backup (or to support the creators who were being repressed by YT)


  • If you think that there is no capacity of leftist infiltration on Twitch, you’re wrong (see: all of the leftist streamers I listed above). And if you think that Rumble has any potential to harbor leftist content, you are wrong again.

    So, twitch, owned by Bezos, which complies with US repression is “open to leftist infiltration,” but Rumble, owned by Thiel, is not?

    I use both platforms, and I know of several leftist Rumble channels (Syrianalysis, Richard Medhurst, Danny Haiphong, Geopolitical Economy Report). Does that disprove your claims, or is the whole “Twitch is open to leftist infiltration because there are some leftists” bunk? (Frankly I think anywhere is open to leftist infiltration- right up until it isn’t, something that all imperial core-owned platforms can and will be subjected to)

    Twitch is more geared towards livestreams, also, whereas more… journalistic, academic, or analysis-focused content fits more with the Rumble/YouTube format.



  • IMO- as they are a settler-colonial state in the genocidal subjugation phase of colonization - the cruelty is the point.

    “White supremacy” and “settler supremacy” means nothing, until it is put into action. This is how it is done- through inflicting pain, humiliation, and suffering on the “ubtermensch.”

    This is how it was done in all western colonies; it is how it was done in the Anglo settler-states to the natives, and it was done to the enslaved blacks and their descendants, and even as society progressed such that the optics became worse (even among whites), these countless little cruelties and humiliations still remained, swept under the rug or downplayed, in order to assert their “place in the world” over that of their lessers.

    This is still how it is, across the west and wherever westoid-mentality westerners plague.




  • Couldn’t be bothered to watch the vid, but I think that- of course, on one hand, diversity and inclusion is always a good thing. And conscious, genuine progressivism is too.

    On the other hand, there is a very clear and (IMO) undeniable grifting industry of “wokeness,” which has appropriated the term (and maybe could be said to have predominantly usurped it) from its original contexts, to ply it for capital and virtue signalling (the liberal ie. capitalist equivalent of jerking themselves off to how great and enlightened they are- which naturally also then immediately gets used against all the “unwashed, colored, etc masses who are so barbaric and in need of western liberal civilization.”)

    Everyone can see this, one would have to be willfully ignorant not to see this. Western capital can congratulate themselves and flaunt how superior they are by making a play where historical slave owners and genocidaires are black and brown (how progressive!), turning a cartoon mermaid into a black woman (nothing wrong with that, but everyone knows the reboots suck- and no, global audiences having no interest does not mean they are somehow “racist”), or- as an example of the heights of barbarism they can utilize this for- bringing in the first black figurehead (POTUS) to destroy Africa’s most developed country, destroy black wealth/homeownership, engage in countless war crimes against black and brown people, and “pivot to Asia” to attempt to destroy the brightest light of development and recovery of the non-white, colonized, exploited peoples. Hell, capitalist virtue signaling can even be used to (and is widely being used to) whitewash literal industrial genocide and a white (ethnically Jewish) supremacist, apartheid ethnostate, as in the case of Isntreal. It can be used to whitewash literal, genuine, goosestepping Nazis (not neo-Nazis, Nazis) like those in Ukraine.

    The “sweet baby inc” debacle strikes me as pretty characteristic of this… “virtue industry” (which has no relation whatsoever to actual virtue and actually oftentimes contains an immense degree of deeply “unvirtuous” western chauvinism). For all that I’ve seen it strikes me as a issue of western faux-progressive liberal smuglords, trying to extort a dev from the other side of the world (China), failing, and crying about it to their fellow nepotists/western media circlejerkers that tout themselves as “journalism” (same as with world news journalism or any other kind of journalism- the west loves to get their nasty, grubby hands on it and claim to be the authority of all that is good and bad, true and untrue). And it strikes me also as western “journalism”- of which “gaming journalism/media” does not exist in some vacuum, or isolated from the collective west and western “journalistic” circles- collectively joining hands to shit on, falsify, slander, and wildly misrepresent the history and present reality of a Chinese gaming studio, as well as statements purportedly said (and mistranslated).

    So- yes, “woke” liberal media sucks. Not because they have a veneer of “diversity and inclusivity” (these things are genuinely positive), but because they’re the self-masturbatory abortions of the most deluded and smug of the vaunted capitalist “intelligentsia,” generally lacking any authenticity, substance, or anything beyond the omnipresent smugness of its creators.

    Actual woke (diverse, inclusive, actually progressive) media is awesome. The shit spewed by liberal smuglords has no relation (at most, it’s trying to appropriate and imitate- and failing hilariously).
