I feel it's pretty obvious that the 2016 & 2024 elections were much more a result of establishment Democrats being rejected than Trump actually being popular.

Just because Americans on TV like cops doesn't mean Americans actually like cops. The TV is the propaganda that shows us what we're supposed to behave like, not how we actually behave.

Google is so powerful that it "hides" other search systems from us. We just don't know the existence of most of them.
Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information.

Proud Boys can no longer legally use their own name and logo and are barred from selling any merch with either its name or its symbols without the consent of the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Black church in Washington that Proud Boys targeted and vandalized.

Enrique Tarrio and several other Proud Boys attacked the church in December of 2020. The church won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys and their former leader. After they failed to turn over any money, lawyers for the church sought to satisfy the judgment by seizing control of the trademarked name and by enjoining the group from “selling, transferring, disposing of or licensing any merchandise using the words “Proud Boys” or any of the organization’s symbols.”

ICE agents come to the house of an immigrant activist, he tells them he will come out of the house to them if they have a judicial warrant, as people are told to do now.

Identity politics = People you don't like being seen.

People's existence was never political until somebody made their existence political through a political tactic called "divisive politics".
The victims of divisive politics had no hand in making their very own existence "political".

If you don't want "people being queer" to be political, don't make it political. Easy as that. Don't be a puppet to hate politics, then all the politics will disappear and all that's left is people being people.

i found it interesting how Marx's has the whole hypothetical about "oh well if a commodity could speak"

because my thought hearing that was always, "Karl, thats a slave, you're imagining slaves?" and he never seems to make that connection?
And it's not just me that noticed this either, if I recall, Moten opens up In the Break with this to an extent
