The only analogy that makes any goddamn sense for bourgie electoral politics in the US is pro wrestling. It's all fucking kayfabe designed to trick the working class into thinking the two main parties aren't essentially a ruling coalition that's captured 99.5% of the federal and all local and state governments, if not a single neoliberal party with two rival factions that loudly disagree over the details. Pro-wrestling kayfabe has sufficient explanatory power for the "never-Trumper" GOP phenomenon: I can think of hardly any other context to explain the likes of Dubya doing a heel-face turn without actually changing his politics or interrogating his own role in creating the massive surveillance and homeland security infrastructure Trump inherited. Likewise, the pro wrestling analogy perfectly explains rotating villains like Manchinema (or Joe Lieberman back in 2009-2010) scoring what look like own goals against the Democrats: 8 other senators are also "blue dog" fiscal hawks but only 1 or 2 are needed to openly oppose bills like BBB to make it look like Schumer can't get them passed without Republican support. Mapping the rotating villain phenomenon to the "team sports" analogy doesn't work: an NFL player who deliberately and openly throws the football for the opposing team to catch, and who makes a show of going out of his way to grief his own team, would get sacked _very_ quickly. At no point have I heard talk of censuring Manchin or Sinema, or outright expelling them from the party, for this sort of open sabotage. No, party discipline only exists as a force to suppress succdem House Dems like AOC who actually want to score victories for working-class voters, but who fail to recognize that they're essentially Stone Cold acting as controlled opposition for Vince McMahon.

if you cant understand how using money made from preaching socialism to buy a mansion fundamentally undermines the movement at its core, as one of its biggest public figures, then idk what to tell you. much love

@@purplism4857 Yeah comrade!, socialism is when you are virtuous and poor, exclusively wear tattered rags and trash bags, and live in a hole you have dug in the woods. Look, I don't even watch Hasan. But the dude made a lot of money, without stealing the surplus value of a workforce's labour by ~virtue~ of owning the means of production. He didn't undermine socialist ideals at all. Unless you consider "experiencing success" to be a betrayal. I'm not a fan of flash cars and huge mansions, but that just means i'd be spending that money of different, but equally frivolous stuff in his position. Honestly, it makes socialism look bad when you act like being able to obtain luxury items is antithetical to it's principles. Don't play into the stereotype that leftists want to create a drab, joyless, world where everyone is equally miserable. What would you have him do instead? give it all away to [CAUSE YOU LIKE]? if that's such a grand moral imperative, why aren't you doing that? you definitely own things that you don't need, why didn't you donate that money instead? How much would he have to give away before he got back in your good graces?

ugh he also has such a small head smh

@@PumkRock his checks are being written by jeff bezos, and his platform exists because his uncle runs a billionaire funded corporate media network masquerading as anti-establishment. just because someone says "public ownership of the means of production" every so often does not make them a socialist lol. and making money isn't even really the problem so much as spending it on a mansion and a luxurious lifestyle, and since consumerism is the beating heart of the capitalist dilemma, it does fundamentally undermine everything he preaches to live in such a way. not to mention he has some pretty imperialistic takes and is moderate when it comes to real action.

@@PumkRock there is nuance though, socialism is not when no house, socialism is certainly not when driving his newly bought porsche down skidrow and laughing at the peasants. do you really just have to say "marx is based" to justify your hyper-consumerist capitalist lifestyle? what a joke, its just a rich white circlejerk to pretend they give a shit about the rest of the world.

@@WanderingIdiot81 Imagine taking force the vote seriously. 😅😅

propaganda is fun if you know what you're watching. to me the problem is i think lots of people forget that or don't realize. since Americans only watch TV, so many think shows like this are real life; maybe not the specifics but in broad stokes. they conclude that, in general, the country is always under threat of evil foreigners are trying to infiltrate and the Intel/military institutions are generally oriented towards stopping that sort of threat. they replace understanding with watching and consuming

@@pantsedjuniorhayseed4816 If it’s ineffective propaganda that makes it even easier to watch though. Like I genuinely think in Homeland the creative forces that aren’t on board with the politics of the deep state got more out of the relationship with the CIA than vice versa. The key question is who the hell watches this show and A thinks the lead characters are heroic, and B leaves with a positive enough impression of the CIA to the point where they’d sign up? In Season Four she’s known as “The Drone Queen” and in one part of the show she considers drowning her own child. Honestly the main takeaway I got from the show was you’d have to be mentally ill to wanna belong to those psychopaths.

Agreed. The show is fucking ridiculous but good fun. Just don’t buy into the mythology and enjoy.

There is no meaningful difference between a religion and the people that practice it. A religion is defined by the concrete praxis of the community that practices it. As such there is no way to hate Islam and not hate muslims. Islam doesn't exist abstractly, but amongst a real community of believers. "Anti Muslim Bigotry" would normalize that you can hate the "idea" of Islam, and as such plays into far right rhetorics of figures like Sam Harris. Islamophobia is a good label.

@@GormTheElder So criticizing and mocking a movie is same as mocking criticizing the fans of that movie. Please rethink what u said Before u start to reply

@@GormTheElder By that logic if you hate capitalism you hate yourself.

@@luker.6967 It is to say that to hate capitalism is to hate your boss. When we criticise capitalism for being violent, we don't just mean the abstrsct idea of it. When we say it's exploitative, we don't just mean the abstract idea of it. When we say it's imperialistic, we don't just mean the abstract idea of it. We mean the people that benefit from it. Who carry it out. We mean the bosses and enforcers. We mean that they as a class are all of those things. Anyone worth their salt should know this. To say that Islam is inherently violent is to say that muslims are inherently violent. To say that capitalism is inherently violent is to say that capitalists are inherently violent.

Interesting; I never considered this before, but it makes sense. And I would find it unintuitive to use equivalent constructions like Hinduphobia or Christophobia
