Before I start, there are too many fucking examples to list. I would just like to point out to the uninitiated how massive it is that the orange man axed USAID

USAID, founded in 1961 during the Cold War, has long been criticized for tying financial assistance to neoliberal economic reforms. Countries seeking aid are often pressured to privatize industries, deregulate markets, and cut social programs—policies that directly contradict socialist or leftist principles of wealth redistribution and public ownership.

• Chile (1970s): After Salvador Allende’s socialist government was democratically elected in 1970, USAID funneled millions to opposition groups, unions, and media outlets critical of Allende. This destabilization campaign, alongside CIA efforts, helped pave the way for Augusto Pinochet’s U.S.-backed coup in 1973.

• Bolivia (2000s): Under Evo Morales, Bolivia nationalized key industries like gas and oil. USAID responded by funding regional opposition groups in wealthier, conservative-led departments like Santa Cruz, exacerbating tensions that led to protests and attempts to delegitimize Morales’ government.

Funding Opposition Groups and "Democracy Promotion"

Organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID routinely finance NGOs, media outlets, and political parties that oppose leftist governments. These groups often frame their work as “promoting democracy,” but critics argue they advance U.S.-aligned regimes.

• Venezuela: Since Hugo Chávez’s rise, USAID and NED have spent tens of millions funding opposition parties, student groups, and media. Leaked documents reveal strategies to "penetrate Chávez’s political base" and undermine his socialist policies.

• Nicaragua: During the Sandinista era, USAID openly funded Contra rebels (later linked to CIA-backed death squads). Today, it supports groups opposing Daniel Ortega’s government, despite his popular social programs.

Undermining Grassroots Movements

By flooding countries with foreign-funded NGOs, USAID often sidelines homegrown leftist movements. These NGOs prioritize issues framed through a neoliberal lens (e.g., “good governance” or “free markets”) while marginalizing systemic critiques of capitalism or imperialism.

• Haiti: After the 2004 U.S.-backed coup against Jean-Bertrand Aristide (a leftist priest-turned-president), USAID poured money into NGOs that effectively replaced state functions, weakening Haiti’s ability to build independent institutions. Critics call this the "NGO Republic of Haiti."

• Eastern Europe: Post-USSR, USAID-backed NGOs promoted shock therapy capitalism in countries like Russia, contributing to inequality and public disillusionment with leftist ideas.

Cultural Imperialism and Ideological Warfare

USAID and similar agencies export not just money but ideology. Programs often train activists, journalists, and politicians in pro-Western values, framing socialism as inherently authoritarian and capitalism as the only path to “freedom.”

• Cuba: USAID’s clandestine projects, like the 2009 “Cuban Twitter” (ZunZuneo), aimed to create dissent by circumventing state media. Other programs recruited Cuban artists and bloggers to criticize the government subtly.

• Africa: During the Cold War, USAID supported anti-communist regimes in Zaire (Mobutu) and Angola (UNITA rebels), while contemporary programs emphasize “market solutions” over public sector-led development.

Exploiting Crises to Push Privatization

Natural disasters and economic crises become opportunities for USAID to push privatization. Post-disaster aid frequently comes with strings attached, such as demands for austerity or corporate-friendly policies.

• Haiti Earthquake (2010): Less than 1% of USAID’s relief funds went directly to Haitian organizations. Most contracts went to U.S. firms, while reconstruction plans prioritized export industries over local needs.

• Greece (2010s): During the debt crisis, USAID partners advocated for privatization of public assets—a direct attack on leftist efforts to resist austerity.

My weekly "fuck amerikkka"

Finally got a screen translator that seems to work fairly well. I believe it's using Google translates' offline model.

What's the best way to respond to my new friends in a way that translates correctly (simplified chinese)?

Bonus question, how does one add both English and Chinese video subtitles without typing out what I say and translate/copy/pasting?

Need to vent, just ignore this. If you don't want to listen to a grown man whine, please just answer the title.

Both sides are trying their best to throw the election because both sides know what's coming

The infinity-debt-bubble is going to burst the instant the rates get "emergency" cut which will likely be at the next FOMC meeting (This is coincidentally ONE day after the election is decided). 2007 / 08 / 09 look IDENTICAL to what is currently happening.

1. Spam: "wow we fixed the markets" (which to them, is the same as the economy)
2. Cut rates (This will be an "emergency" cut that "nobody" will see coming)
3. Hyper-inflate the USD (Furthering BRICS' claim to the new WRC)
4. Drive people into foreclosures
5. Consolidate wealth on the (very large) dip
6. Ask for another gov bailout at the expense of the tax payers

I wrote the following 8 months ago:

Step 1. Tie up russia w/ Europe so they can't help their allies in the middle east (implode Iran to "protect Israel" seems like most libs will accept that)

Step 2. Destroy trade routes out of china through the middle east

Step 3. Naval fuckery against China to lock them out of trade entirely.

Step 4. Buddy up with any SA country dumb enough to provide cheap slave labor to pivot out of China (Such as bringing FABs to Mexico/Argentina/Arizona)

The good thing is; however, their plan will not work (but it does explain why neither party wants to win). The bankers/1%ers win regardless, and the puppets in the kayfabe show know that "their side" of the uniparty will get far more donations during the period that they aren't in charge.

This is entirely why the US is charging head-first into Iran while blaming Israel/Zionists/Jews. The American markets need the boost to the MIC or they're going to lose the WRC

Enjoy the fall

I ventured over to the website "disboard" to try to find more online friends that are at least slightly left of "hunting the poors for sport"

I came across "Leftist Alternative" and I'm 99% convinced this was a fed honeypot

https://disboard.org/server/1085633149540777994

I answered all of their "prerequisite/verification" questions. Mostly my answers were of the variety of "Amerikkka imperializes the planet for the 1%" and "it's not the left vs right, it's the 99% vs the 1%"

They gave me a LOT of push-back for not acknowledging the "genocide" in China. But it really went downhill when I said that the imperialism of Ukraine by both USA and the Russian was/is a fairly nuanced topic.

Obama Admits US Role in Ukraine Overthrow

Pro-US, Nazi-glorifying government

Ultranationalism, anti-semitism, neo-nazi pogroms, and attacks on LGBT groups.

Ultimately I ended with, "Every war is a banker's war" and included I was against any/all imperialist movements (including Afghanistan, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Haiti, Congo, Liberia, and Sudan), but I could definitely see why NATO advancing, despite saying they wouldn't move a single inch towards Moscow, would incite a push from Russia to get their old trade buddy back (not to mention Blackrock/JPM front-running grain futures before the invasion and then vying to steal the mineral rights away from Ukraine in exchange to build it back up)

This really set the feds off..

"OH YOU HATE JEWS DO YA?" - 'Leftist' Alternative

"Wait... huh?" - Me

"A 'Bankers' War Huh??? We could just tell you were an anti-Semite"

"Are you insinuating.. that all Bankers are... jewish?" - Me

It immediately devolved into ad-hominems from the "lefties" so I left that right-wing hell-hole :(

Is Every "Leftist" Discord a Fed Honeypot?

Or are the lib really just that deeply ingrained at this point?

Edit: Missed an end "
