Man BE is on a streak of bad takes lately its kinda sad.
I dont understand this position. Does anyone really think the far right just, wasnt going to do anything before? Like they were waiting for something like this to happen? As if Trump wasnt already deploying the national guard in major cities? Like come on, the ruling class does not act out of petty revenge, and by this logic there is no actual action communists can take because anything can serve to provoke the far right.
And werent people saying this same thing about Trumps failed assassination last year? And nothing happened
Too many Americans are scared of things changing and want to just put the blame on whatever. They want to cling to the idea that the path we are on could somehow be avoided if X Y or Z didnt happen. If this event somehow changes what you think the future holds then you havent been paying attention.
It's funny because the dudes a hardcore accelerationist when he talks about the west burning but then when things accelerate and he isn't the one making all the comments he gets stuck up his own ass about it. At this point his ideology isn't communism, it's his own ego. He HAS to be contrarian to let us all know how dumb we are and how smart he is.
Its sad but true. Hes gotta be a contrarian. He went from making high effort content of genuine academic quality in terms of research and analysis to just being against what everyone else is. I still think he has some good things to say every now and then but he took the ragebait too far and thats 90% of his politics now
He more or less confirmed that explicitly.
It's not that they weren't going to do anything before. It's that this lets them say "You see? I told you the left is out of control! They attacked us for no reason". It solidifies the position. It gives them stronger grounds to do what they planned to regardless.
This is a completely unmaterialist take. This has absolutely 0 material effect on the situation. Stronger grounds to do what they wanted in the eyes of whom? Libs who werent gonna do shit either way? Conservative who were gonna eat up whatever they say regardless? Genuinely what is materially affected? This is a position based on the vibes of what sounds like should be true, not a realistic material analysis of the situation
They were always going to do that anyway, in the absence of a real event they would have made some shit up
Isn't this more credible than some qanon shit? After all, we are talking about it too
If they really needed it, they wouldve staged a shooting of this caliber. Theyve done it before and theyll do it again
Doesn't matter at all whether it's credible, they will do exactly what they were always planning to do
You'll have to run that back for me. Are you saying the political aparatus is so powerful it can do whatever it wants with equal effectiveness of method? Or the public across the board being so stupid it doesn't make a difference whether something is real or not? Or something else?
Yes
I assume this. In the end the yugoslav civil war didnt start because a random dude lied about putting a bottle up his bum.
