  • Words have definitions. There are these things called dictionaries that people can find these definitions in. In super short context its a far right ideology brought to mainstream politics by notable figures like Pinochet, Ronald Reagan and Margret Thatcher. Later embraced by Bill Clinton during the neoliberal takeover of the democratic party at the time when they turned their backs on the unions and people in favor of corporations and bankers. Neoliberalism differs from classical and social liberalism in that it is about freeing capital and not people. The article below explains all this in greater detail than I’m going to get into.

    It is important to remember that just because a word shares the root liber latin for free these ideoligies differ greatly in their application and meaning and history.

    He is selling off the country bit by bit. Pardoning conmen and criminals. Running crypto scams. Pissing off all our allies and burning those bridges. Intentionally crashing the economy. Undermining his own political authority and power on the world stage. Meeting with kremlen officials on the regular. Sending his thugs to Greenland to gin up support for his takeover/invasion. Saying he’s going to invade Canada. Ignoring the courts.

    The list could go on for hours. The only thing that makes sense is he is a russian asset and his directive is to dismantle russia’s largest adversary. Turn old allies against the US and align with kim jong-un and putin.

    putin likely promised to make him king. Krasnov has to dismantle everything from the inside first to rebuild the US in russias image.

    That a bit crazy, they are wedge issues. The consultants red and blue have defined them so…

    The left and the right pay consulting firms hundreds of millions to devise ways to create/use these “wedge issues” to divide us. That’s the game. Keep you fighting over these issues and never doing anything meaningful to change things. Puppets and pawns.

    The only game that will ever make any meaningful change is the money game! That’s the only game that matters to them and the only one we need to win for all the wedge issues to be treated as real life issues.

    We cannot have a functional democracy any other way. It is the only issue that will be able to bring about any meaningful change.

    Don’t let these think tanks divide and blind you or you risk just being the latest fad en vogue “wedge issue” political prop. Doomed to be used till your usefulness runs its course and they latch on the next whilst you get nothing in return. That’s the plan all along.

    I absolutely stand by the lgbt peoples as I stand by the others marginalized by society. What I’m saying was pretty fucking clear! If you want real lasting change there is only one real issue that matters. We have to break the money system. Or else nothing changes ever!

    What got us Hillary not Bernie was the DNC, the same people that use the marginalized as props for political gain. People should have figured that out by now, if they are paying attention. The neoliberal right wing democrats! They own the DNC! They despise their own constituency. They loathe anyone that challenge their money making machine.

    I understand your frustration here. You and the minority communities do matter! With that said, the only way for you to have recognition and equality is to overthrow those in power. Those in power use you and other minorities as sock puppets pandering to wedge issues. While wedge issues are important to you and I, they are meaningless to those that use them to divided us.

    If you let them keep using you as their wedge issue you can expect nothing but quarter measures and lip service in return. They need you to be that wedge issue to continue their robbery. You are being used, and as long as your useful nothing will materially change for you. You will be pulled left to right with every administration shift, never getting anything you need and deserve.

    What matters to those in power is money. That’s it. Right and left alike. Nothing else! Not you or any minority or what you/they/I care about will change while these kinds of people are in power.

    I’m not saying to put your priorities on the back burner. I’m saying we have to come together to burn the fascists down to get what we want together. Money out of politics is the only avenue for any change. That might have to be the only priority for a moment til we have a functioning government that has the power to actually change all our lives for the better.
