  • Trump is the type of anti-war that Himmler would’ve agreed with. If you simply eliminate your entire “enemy”… then there is no more war.

    Considering Hinkle has seemingly purposely modeled his own branding after the political party Himmler belonged to… I’m not sure what his issue here is. Maybe he just wants to keep the genocides domestically. “Why are we helping others do genocide when we have so much genocide to do here!” That sounds like something a “national socialist” oh I mean “nationalist communist,” whatever Dinkle Dipshit is calling himself now, would agree with.


  • Here I checked and yeah you clicked the “ad” link for some direct download shit.

    You want to click either .torrent download or magnet link. I don’t know anything about the direct download stuff. Don’t click that. (Yes, it’s a torrent site, there’s annoying misleading links and ads. The torrent files absolutely 100% work. I listen to stuff from there all the time)



  • “Your government lies to you and wants war with foreign nations to enrich their capital owning class including politicians who are “legally” bribed by those capitalists.”

    Here’s a crazy idea… stop lying and stop funding endless wars to profit the most evil pieces of shit on earth?

    If a person was doing a shitty thing, I dunno, let’s say they get drunk and hit their wife a lot. And a neighbor starts telling the other people in town “Hey, you know Tom gets drunk every night and abuses his wife?” Is the correct response to

    A. Make Tom stop beating his wife

    or

    B. Shoot the neighbor, shoot the wife, make Tom the mayor

    Liberals reflexively smash B. Everything they call “propaganda” could be neutralized with finger snaps (aka presidential executive orders or simply not sending bombs…). Or most things anyway.

    I don’t think most people fall for this either. Only the most reclusive, fully bought-in, bougie-ass motherfuckers who not only love to deny genocide but openly support it while acting like the horrors unleashed by Israel/US are natural disasters and “nothing can be done. But it’s so tragic!” seem to believe this bullshit.

    “Normal people” either don’t pay attention, and the media makes that incredibly easy by never speaking about it, or know these demons are all lying pieces of shit. Thus, the popularity of people like Trump who exploit this inherent knowledge in people’s minds for his own evil ends (the same or similar enough ends, so, that’s really great and cool…)


  • In general, beyond your specific request here, add “audiobookbay.is” to your list o’ bookmarks for the future. I’ve been using it for years in its various forms. Much like thepiratebay and other torrent host sites, it often gets incorrectly targeted and forced to change domains.

    It does require a login to download the .torrent files (or grab the magnets) but it can be a super simple throwaway like you would with any junk site.

    (Also .is top layer domain (tld) is Iceland, oddly enough. I was worried it was the Israeli country name, but, nope! Israel is .il for those seeking to avoid sites hosted there)


  • Yeah I don’t doubt that. I just say 2M because it’s the generally agreed upon starting place. After that people try to parse out what “counts” for the numbers. Like people don’t want to count deaths due to chemical exposure, radiation, starvation after direct occupation ended, etc. even though that all very clearly is the fault of the US and allies. The ongoing political strife and any assassinations or purges that occur are also directly on the US. There’s also the number of casualties which I don’t even know the numbers on… probably 10x based on other conflicts. Someone that didn’t die but still got blinded or lost limbs. Or children born with birth defects due to environmental contamination caused by the US. All the stuff doctors and experts all know exactly where to place blame for it, and yet the western media will essentially NEVER mention deaths and casualties except to mention the whatever number of US soldiers that died or were wounded. Just blatant dehumanization. Victim blaming, etc. Frum is just an especially gross little worm but only one of thousands like him. It’s why I find it incredibly hard to muster much sympathy when they whine about Trump saying he’s gonna do whatever to them. Trump found the right thing for the wrong reasons to at least some of the weasels… meh, I’d take it.


  • By David Frum

    No thanks.

    David Frum is just a less-successful, shittier Julius Streicher. One among many.

    For his 25 years of speaking, writing and preaching hatred of the Jews, Streicher was widely known as ‘Jew-Baiter Number One.’ In his speeches and articles, week after week, month after month, he infected the German mind with the virus of anti-Semitism, and incited the German people to active persecution. … Streicher’s incitement to murder and extermination at the time when Jews in the East were being killed under the most horrible conditions clearly constitutes persecution on political and racial grounds in connection with war crimes, as defined by the Charter, and constitutes a crime against humanity.

    From the judgement against him. Now replace “Jews” with “Muslims” or “Iraqis” or “Afghans” and replace applicable words to fit the American context.

    Imagine how many of these little-Hitlers would go “bye-bye!” if we applied the WOKE standards Streicher was held to at Nuremberg.

    David Frum directly aided, knowingly, in frothing up libs to allow two genocides to happen during two major wars that left two countries totally crippled. He’s already complicit in the deaths of at least two million people between Iraq and Afghanistan, and that number will surely only rise in time.

    It is funny to see all the right wingers crying about “woke” when their techno-daddy Elon would’ve been hanged if be were around in the 1930s/40s to run Nazi Twitter. If woke means hanging a few Nazis, I guess I’m wide awake, lids peeled back style. Go more woke! Hang more!


  • Pretty sure OP knows that. The point is how burger-brained it is that everything in the US is like this to some degree or another. In a proper society no serious newspaper would be reporting this in a serious way. They would just cite relevant governmental agency data and releases.

    Like many things that are wrong with borger-land it’s these seemingly innocuous reports or statements that add up to reflect serious underlying issues. In this case, over reliance on private institutions versus appropriate, existing public institutions. Also it seems to indicate mistrust in the “simple facts” that even agencies like FEMA or NOAA get right (for the most part). Some section of society, growing it seems, are incapable of discerning the facts put out by government agencies vs the bullshit that government agencies put out. For example, NOAA is probably not bullshitting people, while anything coming from the DoD regarding anything foreign affairs related, is 99% bullshit or bullshit-adjacent. People with a teenager’s critical thinking capacity should be able to pick apart the daily lies but also see the truths reported by other agencies.

    Of course this mistrust in government and replacing it with private institutions has been the neoliberal agenda for over 40 years. The more all Americans distrust the government as a whole, the more the agenda is succeeding. Rejection of anything good or required being done by the state has become political dogma to basically the entire populace at this point. Decades of Carter “We have to accept our shitty fate!” and Raegan “The government is bad!” going effectively uncontested by both parties…

    The Waffle House Index is just one comical fruit on that shitty project.


  • I mostly analyze things like this in terms that (I think) Lenin first laid out. Basically like does this war benefit the proletariat? Who benefits here? The answer is 1) US arms contractors (bourgeoisie) 2) Russia, if successful which it seems they will be, will gain land and territory (or at least there will be independent regions it exerts full influence over). Access to resources, people living there, etc.

    And who loses: Well, it seems Ukraine has lost a massive portion of its young men so far. Not to mention this war will indebt them to the US and others for decades to come with costs that no nation could take on and hope to pay off. Paying off aid to your nation from the nation that set you on the path to war and then told you to keep fighting the war… great situation there for future Ukrainians.

    You could argue Russia is losing military members and expending resources on the war, but it’s not nearly as had as the western media would have us believe.

    And while the owners in the US “win” in terms of making profits from war, they’re losing the greater fight to continue imperial dominance. And the workers in the US lose out because resources that should be expended on literally anything else are instead spent on bombs which only bring death and destruction to the world. With no material gain to the people who created them. They could be using the metal and whatever other components of bombs to build new bridges, new roads, houses, anything. Instead that potential house goes into exploding a Russian tank. Who the fuck benefits from that besides the guy who owns the factory shitting out bombs.

    Very basic analysis there removing any morality from the picture (since liberals hate when you operate on moral grounds… no no we can’t have morals!) and it’s clear that no American, save for capitalists invested in the MIC, should be supporting continued involvement in Ukraine or any other currently ongoing conflict.


  • I’m still waiting for them to provide proof of actual leftists who outright support Russia invading Ukraine. To them, bringing up facts about NATO/US aggression in the region for ~30 years post-USSR (not to mention the entirety of the USSR’s existence) is “supporting Putin.”

    The fact is there is a war there. Putin did invade. That happened. So, given reality and not hypotheticals, the choices are between do not aid Ukraine, a reactionary country known since its creation and long before for having very far right, reactionary views, aligning with actual Nazis, erecting statues to said Nazis, everyone knows all the shit at this point. Or aid Ukraine and decide how to aid them. Well, if you’re gonna send aid to a nation that would mean you want them to “win.” Unless you’re only “aiding” them in a cynical way for ulterior motives… which is obviously exactly what the US is doing. It’s just a dumping ground for weapons contractors to make billions in profits at the expense of Russian and Ukrainian lives. Senators have explicitly stated this on record. It’s not even a debatable topic.

    So if the choices are, under Biden or whoever, funding an endless slaughter of people because they view it as weakening Russia, or immediately meeting Putin’s terms doing a ceasefire agreement and eventual full peace process including redrawing country lines- THEN YOU DO THE LATTER, OF COURSE!

    The entire war fervor is fed by an underlying lie or assumption that “Putin wants to keep marching West! He wants all of Europe all the way to France and Spain!” Putler, basically. The media uncritically states and repeats this constantly with zero actual proof.

    I’m not a fan of Putin. He’s a reactionary himself. He proudly proclaims himself to be a capitalist. He openly wanted to join NATO and they snubbed him. He’s repeatedly warned the west to stop expanding NATO, yet it kept expanding including doing a carrot dangling in front of Ukraine. I’m not happy there’s a fucking war. I don’t believe this war will bring any sort of better living standards to probably anyone in that region. But, funding a multi-year war now, still unresolved somehow, killing fuck knows how many people, is certainly, absolutely making a shitty situation (that the US created!) even worse. The solutions are simple: Immediately leave Ukraine, stop sending weapons, stop fucking with Russia and anyone else in the region (or world for that matter…).



  • The Samson option is a “last ditch effort” thing where if the Israeli military thinks defeat is imminent and inevitable they’ll basically commit mass murder/suicide. And part of it was (allegedly) aiming nukes at Europe. If they’re willing to hit Europe, there’s no barriers left. And if Israel does launch a nuke, there’s a significantly real chance that Israel itself will be totally leveled by… who knows at that point.

    Not to mention China, Russia… the entire world… is gonna be “wtfing” to the highest degree possible. Like if there’s fucking ICBMs flying, well, this is literally the plot of a ton of end of the world books/movies for a reason. Shit happens, “accidents” happen, and it’s part of why every country on earth (minus the nukes on Japan when only the US had them, ICBMs hadn’t become a thing, and the whole Mutually Assured Destruction concept hadn’t come around yet) has been very “No nukes! Not for any purpose!” all throughout until today. Like everyone understands it’s doomsday shit. Not to do that thing people do where everything is the end of the world, but nukes launching basically in any context deserves the realistic acknowledgment.

    And of course this is all framed from a self-preservation standpoint because I want to emphasize how out of touch, insane, frankly stupid and evil the top leaders are in Israel and US (EU too- don’t hear them condemning all this shit).

    My point is Bibi won’t be needing more weapons at the point he chooses to launch nukes. It means he already lost, he’s just throwing wildly, knowing he is surely doomed and probably his entire nation and he would be trying to take us all with him. Or at least Iran.

    I believe that’s what Hersh outlined a long time ago.

    When he wrote that shit and pretty much up until about 10 months I would’ve said “Ok, bro. Calm down.”

    The last ~35 years of pure Zionist brainrot have resulted in a situation where I’m like "Yeah… I sure hope the dumbasses in NATO and USSTRATCOM already knew about or took seriously his claims and have a “reverse” Samson option ready to trigger… well, right about now to be honest.

    Of course the actual reversal would have some sort of forced denuclearization of Israel right around the time Ukraine was denuclearized. I’m kind of a believer in “If anyone has nukes, everyone should have nukes” with a caveat of “but ideally no one should have nukes.” The US, Russia, EU nations, UK, China, DPRK, etc. are obviously all never willingly self-denuclearizing, so, back to step 1.

    Anyway, if the US military has any juice left in the lemon of “intelligence” unsqueezed, it will already be preparing preliminary strikes inside Israel to fully destroy their nuclear capabilities. If there’s any country on earth that can pull that off it’s basically the US due to full collaboration between the state departments and militaries. China and some EU combined forces might be able to do so purely militarily, but I’d assume only the US has the exact locations and numbers of every single nuclear weapon in the Israeli arsenal for the purposes of crippling all of their launch capabilities.

    But with Joe RottingCorpse Biden in charge… literally none of that will be happening. This is like the one time the US military should be using all of its intelligence and might to do a shitload of simultaneous strikes all over Israel to cripple its nuclear capabilities… and it will absolutely never happen.

    Also, why wouldn’t dumbass Bibi just sling a couple warheads at like DC or NYC while he’s doing the thing? Is the USAF so confident it can take out incoming ICBMs in real time? (It almost assuredly cannot. If they had that tech they’d be gloating over towards China and Russia daily).

    This situation has been resolved before in South Africa. It’s just crazy to think how fucking insane the Israelis are and how apparently nonchalant or unmoved the US/EU is towards their blatant aggression far beyond all boundaries. These dumbass boomers and/or ideological Nazis are so fucking hellbent on having their third reich in the Middle East that they would rather die than ever get rid of the current Hitler.


  • Not really. That may be what the west/Israel cope into believing, but Hezbollah is sort of de facto the Lebanese military. Israel/US can say anything they like to justify baby murder and illegal invasions, but remember that any time the US/Israel is designating any person or group as a terrorist, officially, it simply translates to “They oppose us. We hate that. We unilaterally declare killing them very legal and good. If you question this, then, you are [group/person]”

    Basically I’m saying if you understand the truth of the situation, that Israel are the terrorists in reality, and the biggest terrorist group on earth, the USA, backs them apparently to no end, then every excuse and reason they use for actions they take is immediately suspect if not just discarded immediately. I personally try to parse their bullshit. Even liars tell truths from time to time. But if you just assume everything the US or Israel ever says, ever, is a lie or bad faith misrepresentation then you’d be correct like 99% of the time.



  • It’s one of those weird things that sometimes I feel like I have arcane knowledge of… when I explain this stuff to people I feel like they probably either think I’m making it up or, probably a legitimate thing to wonder, ask themselves why the fuck I know these weirdos inside and out. I, too, wish I knew that…

    as I get older I notice I like to play like “the archivist” role and just recount the most insane shit I read online 20 years ago. Can’t wait until my niece and any other kids my brother might have are old enough to hear their insane uncle tell them about turn of the century Nazi memes


  • It’s been a very far right, literal Nazi, meme-but-not-a-meme thing (if you ever see how the groypers act, you know what I mean. “It’s all a joke wink wink!” (Hint: it is not a joke)) since, well, forever. It’s less about Israel as a nationstate doing 9/11 and more specifically about “the Jews” doing 9/11. But Israel goes out of its way to equate Israel with all Jewish people, boosting this type of antisemitism as people constantly warn about. So, Nazis just use Israel/Zionist/Jew all interchangeably depending on the layer of mask they want to wear.

    And, yes, believing “the Jewish cabal” did 9/11 or whatever is a conspiracy theory so stupid that it is laughable. That’s probably why it doesn’t catch much mainstream right wing (but not quite explicitly Nazi) favor. But hey, today is a new day, imagine the Mein Kampfs that could be written… (oh god…)


  • The actual origin, in this case, is irrelevant. We all understand that, I think. Unless you’re talking to someone who supports French monarchy, I dunno, maybe then it matters.

    Anyway, removing American-centric politics from the discussion which defines “left” as anything that helps people and right as anything that harms… or pro-business as they’d prefer to define that. Both are extremely far right wing, pro-capitalist…

    It’s just the definition that has emerged over time. Again, ignoring the irrelevant jabbering of US and other western ally media bullshit, it’s extremely clear that the US state and allies actually agrees with the generally understood definition. The republicans and such will call Harris a commie or whatever, but the US state loves someone like her in power elsewhere if she can hold the power. Typically it requires more militaristic, further right wing leaders unafraid to do horrible things. However, the moment someone who is “left wing” aka anti-capitalist/anti-imperialist comes along, well that’s unacceptable obviously, and opposition mounts. Not because of their “woke” beliefs (or lack thereof) but always always always because of their anti-capitalist beliefs. Specifically the abolition of private property and land ownership being huge “no nos” to capitalists.

    So it’s a definition that has arisen due to reality. The further you are from supporting capitalism, supporting private property ownership and capital accumulation, the further left wing you are understood to be and the more the forces of capital will oppose your existence as a implicit threat to their own existence.

    It’s more than just vibes. It’s backed up by the reality. I could also define it as “left wing means anti-US imperialism.” The more left wing you are considered to be, the more you oppose the US due to imperialism (capitalism), thus you are an anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist.

    Right wing is an alignment with capitalism and imperialism. Devotees and adherents to the US as it exists and has existed since the beginning but especially the last 100-150 years or so are absolutely pro-capitalist, pro-imperialist, opposed to the left wing (they say this themselves) communists or anti-imperialists.

    That’s how I see it anyway. My view isn’t unique or special. Maybe the word strict wasn’t the best, but, it’s a comment made on my phone when I should be doing other things. I’m willing to insert the word “general” or “understood” or whatever in its place, but I maintain the original thoughts. Which was more of a rant/stating the obvious anyway.


  • Which is just more-left liberalism (to the socdems part). They still believe in capitalism.

    I will concede, however, that perhaps my own bias slipped in because I consider socdems to be “the ideal liberal”. But of course that’s my own personal belief and doesn’t define the entire spectrum.

    I think the issue we often find is most people (in the first world anyway, voices I hear all the time) are liberals. They believe firmly in capitalism and most of them believe in some social safety nets- the dispute is how much and what type of nets. Never a dispute of support of capitalism though. Even amongst the people like Bernie or whatever
