Being a public figure is the one thing Trump excels at.

Trump will not like being seen as incompetent and weak publicly.

acts in the interests of its material conditions

It’s a foundational mistake of Marxists to reduce everything to material conditions. You will never understand the world, if that’s your only frame of reference.

Putin is the Czar. What’s on his matters most. Everything else is secondary or incidental.

China is ready to take over as the lead capitalist empire.

It’s late stage capitalism, bro, revolution is just around the corner, bro.

Repeat for 150 years.

No, it started a lot longer ago than that

You can listen to Putin himself and he goes back pretty far in history.

Same. It’s a typical story you would hear from a trustafarian wook, who falls for everything “exotic” and “natural” to fill their broken soul.

The only reason I started watching it, was Scavengers Reign. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have touched it.

There’s the potential for a twist, with some reveal that turns the premise upside down. I’m not holding my breath for it though.

There’s an American remake called The Agency, which you could try instead.

Babylon 5 had half a dozen made for TV movies after the show ended. Some were good and provided a different viewpoint to a story that had been told before, some expanded, others were redundant retelling.

The best time travel show I have seen. Fantastic storytelling, acting, sets, and cinematography. It has lots of depth and is worth a rewatch. If you like science-fiction or mystery, you will love it.

If you get lost with the timelines at some point, refer to the accompanying website.

Sure. MAGA/Trumpism aren’t reincarnated Nazis though. It is a uniquely American populist personality cult. Calling them Nazis means you don’t understand how they operate and why they’re successful.

I doubt there’s a plan behind this.

Social media wasn’t the primary driver behind the Arab spring. The economic issues were the trigger. People couldn’t afford to buy food. Lack of food will topple any government. Media control only gets one so far.

On the Internet the dominant websites can change quickly. Being banned from Twitter enabled Trump‘s Truth Social. Buying Twitter gave Elon Musk a giant soap box. However new soapboxes are constructed all the time and some succeed.

Asset doesn’t mean Russia has full power over them, only that they’re acting to their advantage

I also think this is some crypto bro shenanigans. Ulbricht might even have billions in Bitcoin stashed away somewhere for a juicy payback.

Links to Russian websites and telegram are banned on most of not all subreddits.

Boycotting Twitter is a good idea for many reasons. However this kind of blanket link ban will lead to more informational segregation quickly. This has already happened in many ways since the beginning of the war on Ukraine. Linking to Telegram or any Russian website is no longer allowed in many forums, e. g. Reddit. That has made finding original sources and verifying information much more difficult.

Take links to videos for example. Reddit is full of videos copied from YouTube, Telegram, TikTok, etc. without attributing the original source. The World Wide Web was supposed to link information together into a network, where you can follow up on origins snd details. Nowadays it has turned into a series of copy & paste silos, enabling the most extreme echo chambers.

People have been leaving Twitter in waves for years. This is just another one.
