every state, and the federal government, should have this and a sovereign wealth fund

private, institutional, and public(local, state, and federal) capital should be able to pool and syndicate capital across massive public infrastructure projects

I get why supporters are furious that Trump is even entertaining this

I’d be pissed too if it happened w/o a fight but i think the chimp out is premature

he's not one to just cave to a one-sided deal with no benefits secured

there is an opportunity here if democrats are actually willing to deal (probably not but we'll see)

an amnesty compromise could conceivably work for us if he secured consequential concessions in exchange for his moderation:

-beneficiaries of this "amnesty" receive non-voting legal status; only their children inherit a right to vote
-mandatory Voter ID for elections
-ending chain migration
-implementing E-Verify system for workforce
-end birthright citizenship for anyone not legally in the country
-citizen-based census apportionment

i have no faith that all of this will actually happen but i also don't think trump will cave w/o some massive concessions from this list

the most likely outcome is status quo gridlock i.e nothing ever happens

this is largely true; the population in the NE is generally mentally sharper

i grew up in south florida, lived in california, been all over the country, so no personal bias on my end at all

but what i would say in response is the NE is much more neurotic, needlessly frenetic, and career obsessed

there is a relative lack of relaxation, neighborliness, slowness, personal space, physicality, and spirituality compared to many other parts of the country

if the rest of the country could improve its sharpness, which it absolutely should and could, the NE could learn to fucking relax, stop worshipping careerism and productivity while engaging the physical, the natural, and the spiritual dimensions of human existence

this is correct and the right approach

calling them marxist-leninists is actually affirming their stolen valor and makes them sound sexier, more intelligent, and more powerful than they actually are

marxist-leninists of the early 20th century ruthlessly brought down an empire, built mega infrastructure, created a space program, and crushed anyone and everyone who tried to stop them

they were luciferian and promethean; they were formidable

DSA leftists are soft, moderately educated urban populists who can't kill or build anything

they're what you get when the left realized they had exhausted their cultural dominance to the point of them losing labor for the first time in a generation and knew they had to pivot fast back to the "economic left"

but just because the HR lady, the NGO lawyer, or the community theatre punk is openly winking to the hammer and sickle does not in any way mean they have what it takes to seize the means of production, and even more damning of them is if you gave them complete power over the means of production they would have no internal capacity among their ranks to produce or manage anything of any sufficient physical scale or complexity

they are the last spasm of basic bitch welfarism, powered by third world biomass cosplaying as revolutionaries

it's an insult to bolsheviks to call them bolsheviks

they should be treated as the pathetic and neurotic incompetents who couldnt accomplish a quarter of what the soviets did if you handed them everything and gave them all of the instructions

nice 🇺🇸
