Mainstream American politics is literally just two fascists calling the other a commie

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 2 points 6 days ago

Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

That's also just basic fascism. They will kill each other until there's only two people left on earth accusing the other of secretly being a Judeo-Bolshevik.

The acceptable method is to give Intel an unconditional check without taking any ownership, cause that worked out so well brandon

[–] edge@hexbear.net 18 points 2 weeks ago

The government’s equity stake will be funded by the remaining $5.7 billion in grants previously awarded, but not yet paid, to Intel under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act and $3.2 billion awarded to the company as part of the Secure Enclave program.

lmao he's paying for it with money Biden already promised to give them for free.

It’s like crack, it hits great every time

[–] Lavender@hexbear.net 32 points 2 weeks ago

Never diminishing returns. And racist white people only have great thoughts about it.

[–] prole@hexbear.net 71 points 2 weeks ago

Gavin doing anticommunist propaganda? Yeah, sounds about right for a fascist in competition with another fascist

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 67 points 2 weeks ago

Two hollering fascist apes, surrounded by fire, accusing each other of being socialists until the sea claims both of them

Great, another sign of the right’s culture war victory.

Then: “I’M not the racist, YOU ARE!”

Now: “I’M not the leftist, YOU ARE!”

This must be that “pragmatic incrementalism” they’re always blathering about

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago

Only thing that incrementally happened is these lib politicians moving further right

Does Newsom's new tactic of trying to imitate Trump actually appeal to people?

I assume they like it, but I meant the average person.

I have a relative, somewhat progressive late 50's white woman... It's working on her. 😭

The average person in the US is blue MAGA.

the average person in the US sees voting as a chore they don't want or need to think about more than once a leap year. and they aren't wrong

[–] coolusername@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

i know a guy irl that was into the dark brandon stuff i think this would appeal to him

[–] coolusername@hexbear.net 28 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

i dunno but i think the CIA is promoting his antics. dude is all over reddit popular. i think he's our new buttigeg ala CIA pick of choice to be next pres

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 24 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

He is the obviously the anointed favourite by the Dem establishment, but this shit just seems like it wouldn't appeal to the general public. But I don't know if that is "they go low, we go high" brainworms. They already have the blue no matter who crowd locked down, who is this meant to appeal to outside of the demo?

[–] miz@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

they only have to be appealing to donors

Instead of inviting a leftist to the conversation, both parties create one as a strawman. The worst of both worlds

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 40 points 2 weeks ago

Admittedly there is something hilariously ironic about conservatives shitting on the Chinese political economy and then being all “the government needs to invest in the private sector.” But this is just pure-ass cringe; libs keep thinking that doing “I know you are but what am I” for insults that were hurled at them decades ago is gonna look fresh to voters.

Why the fuck isGavin Newsom trying to make Trump look cool?

[–] miz@hexbear.net 34 points 2 weeks ago

this is awful yes, but then you realize the asshole this memelord is working for will probably be president in 2029 and that makes it infinitely worse

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 33 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

To me this just proves that the SOE model from China is the next phase of capitalism. Each successive capitalist mode of production in history has ascended by innovating off the previous model, usually by internalizing some major cost. US finance capital has been grasping for the last remnants of profit for decades through the neoliberal model, now we'll see if more industries adopt some level of state stakeholding.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 34 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

It's really just a reversion to some elements of mid century capitalism, pre-beoliberalism. And it's not like we're gonna get the welfare state to go with it.

marx-doomer Seems like fascists can see their empire is starting to topple and occasionally do something to try to save it

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

we did it. we achieved communism.

[–] edge@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Actually since he only nationalized 10% of Intel, we're only 10% of the way to communism.

i saw a boomer post this unironically on a stock discussion website

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 17 points 2 weeks ago

@xiaohongshu@hexbear.net I apologize I was not familiar with your game you were so right that the the opposition party would do this.

Nationalize a safely petty percentage of your own hegemony to discredit the idea of national ownership because the previous government did it and it went horribly.
