petit beourgeoisie temporarily embarrassed plantation owner
His only comfort right now is watching ICE brutalize brown people
is really going to be able to stay diplomatically and politically solvent for an entire term, just because of Trump being there to catch most of the shock, isn’t he?Soy cuckedservatives
Stupid secy Rollins
I know there are deeper material forces at play but for a large part the Trump movement really took wings because white America couldn’t handle Obama being president while black. And that’s just fucking incredible. Like if you peeled away all the layers of ignorance and racism they’ve accumulated you’d find ones labeled things like “Dijon mustard is gay and European” and “The Obamas got a dog that is gay and European” etc etc and there is a non-zero percent chance that the pebble that triggered the landslide of cheeseburgered fascism was shit like that.
When I die please extract my brain and stomp it through a colander in front of these people so they can have a visual metaphor for what the rest of us went through putting up with this stupid shit.
The TEA Party movement was the reaction against Obama (also largely based on material forces), 6 years before Trump declared his candidacy. There might be some threads of it that were picked up by Trump, but a lot of it was just formerly disengaged anti-establishment sentiment. And also outright fascists. Lots of fascists.
Trump became a true ‘political figure’ in a sense when he started saying Obama was born in Kenya and his birth certificate was fake, he saw how easily the racists will just believe whatever the fuck you say as long as it’s what they want to believe, and no other politician was willing to do it so openly. It is pretty amazing how much of the US’s entire history is driven by racism.
Funniest part is that hillary started the birther shit in her run against obama in '08 lmao
as an outsider, it was really puzzling, saying stuff like ‘obama divided us and destroyed the economy!’… no idea how that happened. obv he’s a pos war criminal, but the divided line getting repeated is so bizarre
He did the same things as every other American President. And yet he “divided us”. How? Oh, well there was one difference I suppose you can point to…
Gay AND European? you say?

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
“this isn’t what i voted for”
But I still fly a dozen Trump cult flags and park two semi truck billboards in support next to highway. I also give lots of money to the Republicans. My wife’s Moms for Liberty chapter harassed the town council to fire the local librarian and defund the library over queer indoctrination from Libs of Tiktok conspiracy
.Tired of winning yet, farmers?
Trumps dekulakization campaign going forward as planned. Comrades are in control.
Is it my imagination or does this guy look like an old Michael Rapaport
The one thing that brings me joy is the lamentations of farmers. How many billions in subsidies have these monsters gotten. They poison our water and keep livestock in shit filled cages, exploit and terrorize migrant workers, speculate on our land, destroy our topsoil and our air and every ecosystem they can reach.
Farmers feed people, this guy grows a cash crop for export. Idk what to call him but farmer isn’t it
What is it about agriculture in the west that makes you reigning world champion of shooting yourself in the foot, politically? Like all the other people who own the means of production and/or land don’t do this.
If industrial civilisation collapses due to climate change there is just not enough coal to reindustrialise so the human race will be stuck oppressing itself in feudalism forever.
I’m not convinced of this persons seriousness
There’s a theory that coal is a prerequisite for the industrial revolution, that trying to do an industrial revolution with just charcoal and windmills/watermills might be impossible.
The lack of coal limits the kinds of steel that can be smelted, which then limits the kinds of machines that can be made. The reliance on renewable energy limits the amount of power that can be generated away from fixed power sources, giving feudal lords unending monopoly over power generation rather than giving way to trade and private property and capital.
So, if society has to rebuild itself 10,000 years after a total collapse that pushes us to near extinction we might not be able to get past feudalism.
We have the capacity to create biodiesel and methane from sources that fully integrate into the carbon cycle.
Also we really shouldn’t be putting much stock into resource-based determinism. Coal was not a sine qua non for successful revolutions in Russia, China, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, or Cuba.
We have the capacity to do that now, with our current level of technology. The question is if we could have reached the capacity to do these things without first burning coal; a hypothetical world where we have to somehow escape from feudalism without coal.
And don’t dismiss steel. We’re only just now figuring out how to eliminate coal from the process, making steel just from charcoal using iron-age technology is technically doable but so resource intensive and the resulting quality of steel so low that it might never have been able to fuel industrialization. This then limits the extent of mechanization and firearms and railroads etc etc
It’s harder than you’re giving credit. Revolutionaries in the 1900s didn’t have to overthrow feudalism using guns made from steel forged with charcoal and milled on machines turned by water wheels. We really might have needed coal to get this far.
Good read. Of course these western industrial farmers are bourgeois and not peasants. Just want to add, that statistically most farmers protesting in recent years have been Indian farmers who have a different class character, and should not be confused with these western farmers. Not saying it’s all black and white, just that this analysis probably doesn’t apply for India, even though it’s where most farmers were protesting.
Indeed, with over 250 million participants in a single protest, if you randomly pick one human on earth who took part in any protest at all of the last five years, you’re very likely going to pick one from the Indian farmers protest.
This article goes hard, thanks for sharing I look forward to reading more from “Vaunted Homosexual”
We must deeply ingraine the knowledge that the idea farmers ‘grow your food’ is a lie propagated by a lobby of little Hitlers.
Hell yeah dude I thought I was getting rude enough to steel myself for class struggle but clearly I am far too hinged, I will redouble my efforts.
the only thing they have is <checks notes> all food production
calling farm owners “food producers” is like calling landlords “housing providers”
Modern day kulaks
Especially soybean farmers. That’s not, smol bean (no pun intended) family farm selling their wide variety of veggies at the local farmer’s market. That’s, acres upon acres of monoculture for byproducts owned by what are effectively landlords.
Or modern day plantation owners.
I think the topsoil destruction is a looming disaster that idk how we’ll solve
Probably some combination of biochar sequestration, agroforestry, permaculture, degrowth, and “fallowing”. There is really no viable alternative to more labor-intensive (read: 10% of workforce instead of 1%) food production though.
Compost?
Probably. It would probably be discouraged at large because of the costs and labour intensive. I saw the 4 per 1000’ initiative from france that helps offset erosion with the organic substance increase in there by 0.4%. Also offsets carbon output. Seems some more farmers moving onto regenerative agriculture but I wonder if it will be enough. It needs to be done on wider scale because the erosion levels have been catastrophic so far
Yeah need to get rid of the capitalism thing.
