I will repeat this until the heat-death of the universe:

Personal liberty and self-determination are assailed by many threats: the theocrats, nihilists, corporatists, fascists, and so-called “collectivists”. They all claim to be the true authoritative “voice of the people”.

Extreme authoritarian “leftists”, A.K.A. “tankies” (i.e., apologists for Lenin, Stalin, Mao, the CCP, the DPRK, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Xi Jingping, etc.), are threats to a free, egalitarian, and open society, are just as violently authoritarian as their religious, corporatist, and fascist competitors, and should be treated with the contempt, distrust, and ridicule they deserve.

They claim to speak and fight for the proletariat, promising a new utopia, never before seen, once their revolution executes the last “class-traitor”. In practice, once they’re finished with “seizing the means of production”, they’ll never relinquish control and become the new ruling class. Beware of their cults. Understand what they really are; power over everything and everyone, forever, is what they seek. They want you either as a true believer (a willing pawn) or dead, just like all of the other supposedly benevolent dictators who promised utopias throughout history.

They’ll assume the mantle of an enlightened elite post-revolutionary administration to guide the proletariat to their promised utopia of “each according to their ability, to each according to their need”. In practice, "the party leadership needs the most, because they’re obviously the most able” in reorganizing the economic and political structure of society. The utopia of the “dictatorship of the proletariat” will never exist, only the dictatorship of the “revolutionary party”. Repression and execution await those who question their claims and decisions. These supposed champions of labor are really harbingers of death - of the mind and the body politic.

They’re akin to the pigs in Orwell’s Animal Farm, the loudest voices in the revolution, usurpers of a righteous cause, but a bit “more equal” than everyone else after the farmer is done away with. Fortunately, the pigs, like the farmer, got their comeuppance in the end of the story.

Make these pigs squeal.

The CCP, the RNC, and the DNC are not your friends.

Vote your conscience. Always remember to see who’s funding who, who will gain, and who will lose. There are better choices than others, even when confronted by only bad choices.

The purgation of xenos scum and heretic filth with extreme prejudice.

eliminate yourself.

It’s great! I hate everyone and everything, and myself the most!

Yes that’s true, but I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the claim that the US government destroyed Nord Stream to force the EU to buy LNG from US companies.

What other evidence can you produce to verify your claim that the US government destroyed that pipeline?

They’re literally the only major economy

You don’t need the “literally”.

offer nothing to help Ukraine or Europe.

Bullshit. You could have performed a simple search about your claims before posting that.

Ukraine Defense

The Joe Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed about $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, which includes humanitarian, financial, and military support, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research institute. (This figure does not include all war-related U.S. spending, such as aid to allies.) The historic sums are helping a broad set of Ukrainian people and institutions, including refugees, law enforcement, and independent radio broadcasters, though most of the aid has been military-related. Dozens of other countries, including most members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU), are also providing large aid packages to Ukraine.

My country’s government is guilty of a lot of terrible things, but don’t make things up, like every other shit-heel on the internet these days.

The US government had nothing to gain by destroying that pipeline.

Not gonna lie, them Beyer Dynamics are bangin’.

There’s something deeply unsettling about watching his decline from a clinical psychologist into brazen bible-thumping over the years. He always had a tendency for “stream-of-thought” styled theorizing and gave caveats about it before, but now it’s straight christian proselytizing. A pity to watch the deterioration of mind in public.

Simply because I said it’s bad when the US has done it in the past as well.

This a great example of “whataboutism”.
