start with doom emacs, it sets everything up out of the box for you such that all the normal vim shit works with the plugins that make emacs worthwhile. at this point, I more run emacs as a kind of meta-program that integrates a bunch of stuff, including a vim-like text editor. being able to run a shell that autocompletes with a little dropdown as I type, syntax highlights when I cat, and opens files in a buffer that I can pipe in and out of, with a vim editing experience for all of it is just joyous.

what’s unbelievably funny about this whole thing is that if you do any research into this subject, it becomes pretty obvious the coup wasn’t about lithium but rather oil/gas. despite that, history books will write that elon musk did it because both he and morales have said that he did it and it’s basically what everyone believes happened.

the quoted part of this doesn’t include the part about blackwater? I can’t find any confirmation of this except this tweet. I think this is just a resistance lib trying to make everything about people libs already know. they’re definitely mercenaries, I doubt they’re literally blackwater.

I swear to god covid hit here before the news coverage. the flu this winter was taking young, healthy people out for multiple weeks and several are still struggling to recover.

this is what got me started digging https://twitter.com/Itmechr3/status/1287060808694927361?s=19

the linked threads are leftists talking about whether the narrative makes sense stretching back to when the coup actually happened.

the best summary narrative I’ve been able to piece together is that Morales forced a pipeline through some land that displaced indigenous people and a bunch of reactionaries with outside backing that were always trying to launch a coup took their chance and went for it. indigenous groups sat out because of the recent fight and their support turned out to be instrumental in fending off previous coups. lithium doesn’t really seem to have played a part in this as it just wasn’t a contentious point and the lithium market has plenty of supply just now and demand is relatively low (so dumb timing for a coup if that really is why). I think they just got lucky and Morales made a fatal mistake.

it’s important to understand how and why these things are able to happen because they help us defend a revolution after its occurred. the lesson here is that breaking solidarity weakens you and leaves you exposed to coup attempts by the right.

can we just link to the posts now? it’s not like we can get banned for it, lol

businesses are opening their doors to protestors meaning the petit bourgeoisie have picked their side in a fight with the federal government. as federal mercenaries enter more cities, provoking the same response, the state will continue to lose legitimacy. we’re going to have a crisis of state before November. let’s make it a deep, scarlet red October.
