Part of the reason for the USA's failure is MAGA but the other big aspect is a left that does not engage the real enemy
Toxic idealism
Spineless capitulation
Mindless cynicism
"Polite society" "high road" cluelessness
And lazy entitlement
Not financial entitlement but this obtuse entitled foolishness that we have the time and space to criticize some aspect of the left according to deranged standards of perfection when we're facing literal fascism
Make MAGA the target of your venom

in reply to Ben Royce πΊπ¦ πΈπ© • • •this reminds me of a recently published argument between Chomsky and Moinbot on whether what happened during the terrible Rwanda wars was a genocide or an atrocity.The letters between them really sounded like they fell out. I think there's a bit of pride in there too.
Appreciate I'm massively simplifying their correspondence. And I say that only to somewhat mitigate fear of trolling, which further highlights your point.

in reply to TenPastTwo • • •i won't troll you but i will castigate you
never mention #Chomsky again
nevermind him licking #Putin's boots over the invasion of #Ukraine
Noam is in the #EpsteinFiles defending #Epstein
he did this *after* Epstein was revealed as a pedophile human trafficker
Fuck #NoamChomsky
And I am not attacking the left, ironically, in contradiction to what I have said above:
A pedophile/ #imperialism apologist is not of the left
Chomsky is not of the left
Not anymore at least

in reply to TenPastTwo • • •unfortunately leftists morphing into right wing turds has a number of examples in this world
when it happens we sever all ties
#NoamChomsky is a piece of shit
we cannot think of him in any other way except scorn
that he once said something insightful is still true, and we can use his past thoughts usefully: quietly, to ourselves
what we can never do anymore is attribute any of that to a man who is now human scum
the name Noam #Chomsky is now rat poison

Epstein asked Chomsky for advice over 'putrid' media coverage, files show

#tankies are mindless contrarians
"i hate the usa so i support vile regimes" is not principled nor moral
the moral, principled approach is to castigate the #USA *and* #Russia
supporting Russian #imperialism in the name of opposing American imperialism is just fucking stupid
so supposedly intellectual #NoamChomsky is functioning on the same level as a 14 year old edgelord in this fashion
#Chomsky's pedophile apologism in the #EpsteinFiles is just the final nail in the coffin

The lack of focus on the left which you rightly note is actually feature of a population far more engaged with the realities of the 21th century. The singlemindedness on the right demonstrates their blindness to anything but their mindless hate for the left.

The problem is that the right's singlemindedness means they vote. While the left's lack of focus means they can't be bothered to show up
So fascism marches forward
There won't be a rest of a 21st century unless the left shows the fuck up and votes
There won't be a left anymore at all if they are all machine gunned
