Total self-sabotage.

The US ruling class has no idea what to do, they are completely adrift. And this is dangerous because they are likely to resort to #violence & #geopolitical bullying in a desperate dying bid to hold onto power.

#Dugin’s Eurasianist theories have been used to justify #Russia’s #wars, interference in Western politics, and violent #geopolitical strategies. But I guess normalizing Russian #imperialism and #fascism is just the next step in restoring trade relations and lifting #sanctions.

16/17

We found discussion to be dominated by #geopolitical and #SocioEconomic concerns, sidelining #climate and #biodiversity.

In fact, climate change and biodiversity were barely mentioned, and when they were discussed, it was mostly about side effects of the #EnergyTransition

@RobotDiver @RegGuy

i don't really give a shit about these "they're not perfect" takes

you can find dirt on anyone

overall, #aoc and #bernieSanders are way better than any other credible challenge, and that's what matters

#toxicIdealism is a problem in this world

do not fall for it

and plenty of it is just a #socialMedia #psyop by #maga and #geopolitical #trollfarm to incapacitate your #vote

do not fall for it!

@inthehands @StillIRise1963 @tarheel

why i'm posting this now

#midterms2026 means enough #democrats to stonewall #trump

but as the time draws near you will hear the same old whiny lies:

"both sides the same"

"corruption is everything"

"nothing matters"

"waah waah"

some of it is real #toxicidealism

some of it is #geopolitical #trollfarm #psyop

advertising their fake #leftist bonafides, like an american flag profile on #twitter injecting a #maga #kremlin agenda

people fall for it

@rmblaber1956 @ohmu @Kierkegaanks

everyone is aware of the #geopolitical #trollFarm #psyop on the #farRight in the #West

not many want to admit the troll farm psyop also working the #farLeft

on the right, they amplify #hate

on the left, they amplify #alienation

well, i speak from an #American perspective

in #Europe you're far more aware of the two prong approach to divide and conquer

@ohmu @Kierkegaanks

some #nonvoters are #rightWing turds too

we see the #toxicIdealism on the #left, the "it's not perfect so i won't #vote" because we're on #mastodon and in other social silos on the left, which amplifies our impression

still, it's a lot of people like that, enough to make a difference

which is why some of these toxic idealism voices we see are just #geopolitical #trollFarm #psyop, cosplaying their fake #leftWing bonafides and working hard to suppress the vote on the left

@nswigger

When in reality it is one of:
#russia
#northkorea
#china
#hacktivists

Probably in that order of likelihood.

It's not that I doubt the skill of the hacktivists but for a #geopolitical foe the timing has never been better to attack any US company and use that to foment even more internal unrest, backbiting and so on.

The enemies of the US don't need to fire a shot, just judiciously spritz a little kerosene here and there.

Right now we are our own worst enemies.

Thanks #Trump !
