My gut leads me to think that the truth lies on the side of what Noah and Brendan said. Why? Because I’ve listened to Vincent Bevins before on interviews and he’s still fighting with that idealism. Why do I make this claim? Because he still thinks that some people involved in the HK riots, the guarimbas in Venezuela, the Maidan shit, etc, were well-meaning, but their movements were taken over by reaction, in other words, co-opted. I do not believe that and hindsight is 20/20. These activities from the moment they were invented had a direction, and just because some well-meaning folks who spout ‘‘leftist’’ slogans were duped, does not mean those movements were at any time on our side.
Let’s look at the HK shit. We saw from the beginning, Union Jacks and signs asking Trump to intervene. Later we saw even Azov clowns over there, and they were calling people in the mainland of China, cockroaches or locusts. Nobody here with their head on straight, will look at that and conceive, in any way possible, that those people are ‘‘left’’ or fighting for anything good. Let’s look at Maidan next. I don’t give a shit if Yanukovych isn’t a lefty or anything, but the people out in the streets were supportive of the EU, that’s a red flag for me, while shouting pro-Western slogans, and being overtly Russophobic, plus, we even saw US officials on stage over there.
But, bro, I see a US flag or something, and my sirens go off. Because I’ve seen enough, man. I’ve been following Venezuela’s story closely for the past 6yrs or so, and I’ve learned so much observing escuálidos. These people never act spontaneously or alone. Reaction is always directed, and from the same studio at ‘‘Always the Same Map, Inc.’’
‘‘None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.’’
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Another lib banger from Will Standstill.
Gusano, escuálido, pitiyanqui, bobaliberal, bolsominion, kulak, pitita, and other local words like it, come from a revolutionary context. They’re not racialized terms. They’re specifically used to denote counterrevolutionary or reactionary elements in our societies. But these terms can also denote traitors in general, as in class or race traitors, people who betray the interests of their own people in favor of the US, who prostrate themselves like Milei did with Trump recently. It is this servility, this submission, this spinelessness towards US interests and views, that we shit on when we say gusano.
The very millisecond I see the word ‘‘authoritarian’’ being used unironically, I’m done. Everything turns into a complete disregard for anything that was said prior to it, and could be said afterward. Deeply unserious word. It is in fact one of the most charged liberal words in existence, along with ‘‘autocracy’’, ‘‘human rights’’, ‘‘regime’’, ‘‘dictator’’ and you guys know the rest. It’s one of the most heavy lifting words in the liberal idiom. One drop of it in a sentence, and a liberal mind will construct the rest.
