Operation Condor becoming Operation Pigeon.

Hmm… What’s the active mechanism of the treatment? I’m legit curious as to how the interaction between the lymphatic system & the brain would, like, cause Alzheimer’s.

To be fair, The Corn Lord was also prone to absurd diplomatic theatrics, although in the opposite direction.

This consciousness of this made up concept of cultural-class that they infect people with becomes a blockade to giving them real class consciousness.

This also seems like an incredibly fragile articulation of “class” though. Like, it’s entirely dependent on a framework of “Consumption-Driven Social-Identity” that’s somewhat been the norm in the US since the postwar boom. But that framework can only function as long as the “treatflow” persists.

There are internally colonized peoples within the US who have been racialized as an inferior caste and there are whites that have benefited from that colonization and racialization, but have no actual historical or material understanding of their own place within settler-colonialism.

Unless a cracker is a direct agent or beneficiary of colonialism, a cop or some shit, they can actually be made to understand the colonial situation.

And it’s happening. Whites in the US are awakening to the colonial situation in Israel, and that’s not far removed from awakening to the colonial situation in the US.

Different person here, but I have my own issues with what you’re arguing about here.

My main point of contention with this whole line of reasoning, is that I don’t think that they United States actually properly qualifies as a Settler-Colony anymore. That isn’t an argument against the existence of a racialized hierarchy within the US, but specifically what I’m getting at is that the material circumstances of Israel & America are not comparable in 2024.

The United States is the world financial-capital hegemon, it is a wholly independent & (potentially) self-sufficient nation-state. It does not have a Metropole that it relies on to guarantee it’s security, or that it has to funnel imperial super-profits to, in 2024 the United States is THE Metropole. It also does not have the national composition of the kinds of countries in which Fanonist Anti-Colonial struggles were applicable & successful; but which does exist in Israel.

In the United States the people who make up the descendants of Settlers comprises the absolute majority of the population, and likely also the majority of the proletariat (if only narrowly) as a consequence. Of those people who are not the descendants of Settlers, they are also themselves, for the most-part, not indigenous to the territory either. They do not have pre-extant social structures, or a genuinely solid national identity independent of the existing Settler state to draw from when trying to resist it.

The single largest non-white ethnic group in the country are African-Americans/ADOS people; who are both a highly dispersed diaspora population that do not make up a majority of most of the places that they live in, and who’s identity while hostile to the current US State (for very good reason) doesn’t generally have a strong articulation towards forming any kind of alternate independent State. Most of the other remaining “Non-Settler” Americans are primarily immigrants of one-form-or-another who are not actually here to try to supplant the existing American State or nation. They would be broadly willing to integrate into the US as it currently exists if they were actually allowed to. Of the remaining actually indigenous population of the country, they consist of somewhere between 1-2% of the population of the entire country, and they struggle to retain even a semblance of autonomy on the insultingly limited reservation land that they have been granted.

Ultimately what I’m getting at here is that there is no real evidence that the strategies of Fanonist Anti-Colonial resistance have any actual material applicability to the United States in the way that they do for Israel; regardless of their ostensible common origin as Settler-Colonies, largely because the modern US has developed past the point that it can even be described as a Colony in the first place.
