Get some slepp
I recommend just using YouTube anonymously anyways.
I have been very loosely keeping up with the news these days, and have been skimming through the new Epstein stuff. It's got me wondering, has anyone here elaborated on why these files are being released to begin with?
If they have to release something, just to keep some sort of legitimacy, what is the benefit of releasing so many files?
I read that some of the files got taken down at some point, but why were they published in the first place?
If someone wrote a comment or post on this before, I'd appreciate a link.
I think it's a fluke, but it also shows the United States is still technically a democracy albeit with a strong fascist movement and base. If you think about it, America wasn't even supposed to be a democracy and the lower classes had to fight for the right to vote (which is still tenuous today).
Honestly, what you see is also just good ole' bourgeois infighting as well... so what else is new? We've seen this before.
I think para-politics can only go so far in explaining things and often leads to conspiracism in ML circles (with many justifying it with phrases like "Well, conspiracies DO happen, " which is true, but ultimately reductive in explaining things), but infighting among various factions in the bourgeois class is an explanation that makes sense, is verifiably true, and has happened throughout history.
So, honestly, what you ask is not a bad question, but it does have an answer that's likely true.
I think para-politics can only go so far in explaining things and often leads to conspiracism in ML circles [...] but infighting among various factions in the bourgeois class is an explanation that makes sense, is verifiably true, and has happened throughout history.
I'm not implying that there's some sort of conspiracy or that it's unexplainable. There was an active decision to release these documents, I'm just trying to understand to whose benefit it is, and why was the decision made to release them.
The released documents implicate a lot of powerful people from across the spectrum in the U.S.
I know you are not.
I think Trump is such a sadist that he wants people to know the stuff he has done. He gets off on people squirming hearing the horrific stories and knowing there is nothing the can do to stop him. He wants the spirit of Ayn Rand to praise him like she did William Edward Hickman.
He is using the remaining undisclosed files to keep the faction who have shame in line and using some other files that would hurt his faction as bait. "If you let me release this one you can have the one where I said this." In reality he want all the files out. He wants for everyone to think he is a monster and either revile him or worship him for his complete abandonment of humanity. His aspiration is to go to the grave as the most sadistic man in history.
Have a good week, everyone! Remember that we live in an era of imperialist decline, where the international dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, the US Empire, is on its last legs.
As always, communism will win. We will win.
I think we are in an era of imperialist decline, but look, the Soviet Union said the same thing 40 years or so ago and everyone thought the defeat of the United States was inevitable. Seriously, people thought that back then; I read about it and it's astonishing. They were making a few similar arguments to today's arguments too.
We must NOT let our guard down for one second and press the attack forward while also not expecting China to swoop in and save us.
We should not let our guard down, no, but we do need to maintain revolutionary optimism.
Yes, that's true indeed.

It took me longer to take public transport home from Brussels to Antwerp (39 km) than to fly from Warsaw to Brussels, all the while paying the highest income tax in the world. For what exactly, I wonder?
So Tallinn was great despite the relentless cold. It was so cold that the sea froze for up to like 400 m off the coast so I got to walk across a frozen sea, which was dope. I visited a museum that had portraits of Lenin and Stalin to my surprise and it was 't overly negative of the Soviet Union.
I did notice that I got a lot of pro EU ads on my social media feed while being here so I wonder if the EU has got a campaign going over here. Lots of Ukraine flags everywhere too. The Russian embassy here was plastered with it. There was also a poster of the socialist heads with Putin next to it saying something like 'no more communism again' which was just hilariously shitty. I started to wonder if their support for Ukraine only comes from a deep hatred of Russians. Which is weird because like 1 in 4 people in Tallinn is Russian. Never heard this much Russian spoken anywhere.
Russian-speakers in Estonia? And in such a large quantity too... That's quite interesting.
Did you see where ZA/UM is based or their headquarters anywhere (before they inevitably turned shitty by firing their head writers)?
Yeah there are like 200k+ Russian (speaking) people in Estonia. The total population is 1.3 million so it's a sizeable amount of people as well. Half of them live in Tallinn.
Didn't see such thing really.
Ah, got it.
im glad u had a good time !!! walking on a frozen sea sounds awesomesauce
I aim to go to Vietnam and then travel to China this year.
I should see this.
I'll have refresh my knowledge on it, this is a good reminder.
Have a great week comrades!
Yay
