An interesting connection that I've observed over and over again to the point that it's practically a law in my head, is how many of these newly minted anticommunist "anarchists" also end up being anti-black or more accurately anti-black radical politics, the same phenomenon emerges subtly among many academic western Marxians and more obviously with the whole maga"communist" conservative subculture

Historically, anti-communism and anti-blackness have been inseparable and the anxiety is obvious, westerners fear communism will lead to minorities escaping their subordinate positions and inflicting some nebulous horror upon them, this anxiety is so baked into American consciousness that you had Trump accuse Kamala Harris (neoliberal par excellence) of being a communist, anyone with sense understood that as being an expression of both anticommunism and more prominently anti-blackness

My theory (which is largely lifted from Professor Gerald Horn) is that anti-communism in the west is directly proportional with anti-blackness and explains the savage irrational anti-left hatred that you observe among so many newly minted so-called radicals, the state and it's various intelligence orgs supply the mental and intellectual architecture of anticommunism while anti-blackness supplies the emotional fuel that sustains that state effort

Anybody got footage of those zionazi hooligans getting their shit kicked in?

That's true and simultaneously not true

Boomers definitely are a real phenomenon, the mass global lead poisoning of hundreds of millions of people is no joke

What are you talking about, it's perfectly normal for it to be 80F under a cloudy November day

I know, my supervisor was one of them

The 'committee to manage the affairs of the capitalist class' indeed

Honestly, Trump is a decent attack dog to scare the layabouts and stragglers of BRICS into shape, at a certain point it really does become a 'shut up or put up' moment and Trump may force the recognition

Turns out the 'moderate republican White women upset over abortion' that Harris kept casing were at the end of the day.......still White Women gasp

WHO'S SPEAKING NOW HUH?

By August 14, 1945, the US Navy peaked at 6,768 active ships, by 1950 that number shrank to 634 ships

Later that same year in 1950 due to the Korean War the US Navy expanded back up to 980 active ships before topping out at 1,122 ships in 1953 at the end of the war and remained at a stable 900 ships for the rest of the fifties

Between 1958-1974 the US Navy slowly shrank until stabilizing again at around 550 ships until Reagan's 600 Ship-Navy Campaign Plank

The 1980s plan to rebuild the U.S. Navy, known as the 600-ship Navy, was a campaign plank of Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign. The plan included: Recommissioning Iowa-class battleships, Keeping older ships in service longer, A large new construction program, and Increasing production of Nimitz-class aircraft carriers

The 600-ship Navy was the most expensive peacetime military buildup in U.S. history, costing $1.5 trillion over five years

The US Navy peaked at 594 ships in 1987 before experiencing a sharp decline between 1989-1992

The most righteous context note I've seen yet
