Alex Jones Jr.

thinking about it, seems strange that I haven’t already heard a conspiracy shower thought about contaminated drinking water causing transality before today.

"Let’s see, I’m going on Alex Jones, what is he known for? Frogs? Drinking water chemicals?

But what if I was to make my own conspiracy, and disguise it as Alex Jones garbage? Oh ho ho, delightfully devilish, RFK!"

You’re giving Jones way too much credit. RFK sucks but people are concerned about this because of the gonadal deformities it causes in frogs, up to nine uteruses, etc.

Eco-fascism is America’s future. We literally have no idea how else to approach the problem.

People keep saying it but honestly I think it’s nonsense. We won’t have eco-fascism, we’ll just have regular fascism. We won’t face the problem with fascism, we just won’t face the problem at all.

When are the fascists going to start pretending to care about the environment?

When environmental degradation starts impacting them personally.

We’ve seen this by degrees in the American Southwest. People are aware of their water shortages, so the solution tends to be hording and blaming outsiders for the droughts.

We’re seeing it with anti-natalism and eugenics theories reasserting themselves. We’re seeing it on the Texas border, with vast fortunes invested in militarization of the Rio Grande.

Fascism is the reactionary conciliation between the socio-economoc demand for a unified state and the capitalist demand for endless growth. In practice, this means a policy of hording, seizing land through military control, and purging the population to satiate the Imperial core.

The driving force behind these patterns of behavior will be climate crisis. That’s the Eco part.

Seriously. Working in Food Justice activism, i find myself fighting against indiscriminate use of agrochemicals, low gastronomic biodiversity (how most of our diets depend on a couple varieties of corn, wheat, soy and rice), and the loss of food heritage worldwide to globalization and capitalism. Then, sometimes i’ll find someone who nominally supports the same cause, but their solution is a fascist ethnostate. Yea.

Well… I mean, Cornell West ditched the PP so of course RFK Jr. had to PooPoo. The balance must be kept.

Unless you’re running Green or left-er there is no left in American politics anymore. It’s dead. Bernie 2016 was the last gasp for generations.

Dems are just pretending primaries now.

Ignoring the opposition is a tried-and-true political strategy, as any engagement is ripe for media coverage and boosts your opponent’s name recognition.

This isn’t an insidious plot by Democrats to guarantee Joe Biden a fast track to re-nomination nearly so much as it is a consequence of a heavily privatized and censored private sector media landscape. Biden had the same uphill struggle when he ran for President in '88. Clinton went full clown mode in '92 because playing the sax on Arsenio Hall forced people to say his fucking name, whereas Jerry Brown and Paul Tsongas wasted away in obscurity.

RFK Jr running the podcaster circuit is at least as smart a move as anything Ralph Nader or Ron Paul managed under similar circumstances. Free media is worth its weight in votes.

Unless you’re running Green or left-er there is no left in American politics anymore.

There continues to be a real struggle between liberal and conservative political forces in the US. But its a Coke/Pepsi fight over market share more than a material fight over policy.

There’s also a very real economic struggle within the US as a result of its fading international image. Ukraine is an outgrowth of that. Sudan is an outgrowth of that. Our pissing match on the US/Mexico border is, too. Our increasingly contradictory relationship with India and the South Pacific, as well.

Politics is happening everywhere. The Leftist angle is simply the only one you’re seeing, because of where you’re positioned.

I thought it was because everyone is doing an end run around the corporate media now. Pretty much everyone agrees they have their own agenda and will act in their own interests at every opportunity. I’m just questioning his choice of podcast to appear on. Maybe he just took the top-rated ones? But then he’d be on MrBeast and PewDiePie and whatnot…there are tons of 10M+ subscriber Youtube creators. That’s more views than MSNBC gets.
