    Interesting read, but the article makes some jumps in logic that don’t really make any sense to me. Like, you’re going to fight white supremacy by handing the reigns over to a white supremacist who intends to become dictator, and don’t see that as contradictory? OK? Colonial powers didn’t want to allow you to vote, but now that you can, you’re giving it up for… reasons?

    When it comes down to it, it’s basically accelerationism. That’s not going to topple capitalism. All that it’ll do is result in an unimaginable tragedy and then potentially (if you’re lucky) reinstallment of the status quo by outside powers.

    I’m sympathetic to the authors position, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve thought this through properly.



  • Did you watch the entire debate, or just the highlights? I don’t think acknowledging he was completely cogent for 99.9% of it is minimizing anything, but that’s not part of the narrative the media are pushing.

    I don’t particularly like Biden, but my main concern at this point is keeping Trump out by any means necessary. Sacking the incumbent four months prior to the election is a dangerous gamble, especially so if he isn’t willing to step down himself.

    In any case, it looks like it’s going to have to happen now regardless, but I sincerely believe it’s more because of the media’s irresponsible coverage than any actual substantive issue.
