Welcome back to The Anti Social Socialist, I am NodeZ3r0, and today we are ripping the bandages off this cancer called democracy. These motherfuckers are at it again, trying to gaslight us into thinking the system is fair when the whole fucking machine is built on theft and debt. You think the news is neutral? You are an idiot. The news is a weapon in the hands of the fascist machine, and they are using it to keep you asleep at the wheel while the ship burns. We are not sleeping on this shit. We are awake. We are reading the fucking leaked documents, we are tracking the disinformation, and we are exposing the lies. Let's get straight into the blood. Al Jazeera is reporting on a little play in Michigan that the mainstream media is trying to bury. A progressive Democratic candidate named Abdul El-Sayed just took on the establishment candidate Haley Stevens in the Senatorial primary election in Michigan. Now, this is supposed to be a big victory for the left, right? But here is the fucking twist. The victory was so narrow that the party establishment is shaking in their boots. They are terrified. Why? Because this guy wants universal healthcare, he wants higher taxes on billionaires, and he wants an end to military aid for Israel. The establishment candidate, Haley Stevens, she is a centrist, a sellout who will sign whatever corporate memo they throw at her. El-Sayed is the only one talking to the working class. But notice how they are already trying to unite against him? That is the game show host playing with the stakes. The establishment is terrified because a man who actually represents the people is standing in the way of the fascist machine. They don't want unity, man. They want control. They want to strangle the left before it can breathe. France 24 picked up this story because the US media is too cowardly to admit that the left is winning and the right is losing. If the left wins, the billionaire shitheads lose their tax base. If the left wins, the corporate masters lose their grip on the workers. And that is a fucking nightmare for them. So they try to paint him as a radical, a dangerous radical, when he is just asking for the basic human right to health. Don't let them divide you. This is class war, and the class war is coming for you. Now check this out, because the Pentagon is bleeding out. Middle East Eye is reporting that nearly eighty percent of the US army's interceptors for a key missile defense system are depleted. Eighty fucking percent. Gone. Senior military officials are warning that the stockpile is dangerously low. What does that mean? It means the US military is running on empty, and when the next crisis hits, they are going to be holding a gun without bullets. CNN picked this up, but they are hiding the real agenda. Why is the stockpile so low? Because the military industrial complex is sucking the blood of the working class to fund wars that serve no purpose other than enriching the billionaires. They call it national defense, but it is just a way to bankrupt the working man. The Pentagon says it is dangerous, but who is the most dangerous person here? The ones selling you the lies to keep you funding this shit. The CIA is behind this, the IMF is involved, and they are all dancing while the workers starve. This is not defense. This is a debt trap. They are building a fortress around the rich, and they are leaving the poor to freeze in the street. When eighty percent of the interceptors are gone, it means the system is failing. It means the lie is exposed. And the lie is that the military protects you. No, the military protects the rich. And when the bullets run out, the rich will just find new ways to bleed you dry. Meanwhile, the tit-for-tat trade war is heating up, and China is showing the world how to fight back. The South China Morning Post is reporting that China has added new sanctions and drone curbs in retaliation for the US restrictions on Chinese companies. They are tightening the screws on sales to United States entities of drones and their key components. The Ministry of Commerce says it is subject to strict scrutiny. This is the new reality of capitalism. It is a zero-sum game, and the US is trying to strangle the competition, but China is fighting back. The US media is screaming about China being evil, but who is really being evil? The American corporations that are dumping cheap goods on the global south and destroying local economies. China is doing what any rational actor would do: defending its sovereignty. And the US is doing what the fascists do: bullying the weak. The Daily Maverick from South Africa is picking up the story about the US refunds, but let's talk about the real numbers. They are talking about refunds on tariffs, but who is paying the price? The farmers, the small business owners, the people who can't afford the price hike. The Supreme Court struck down the duties, and now the US has to refund about one hundred billion dollars. But where does that money come from? From the pockets of the working class. The billionaire shitheads collected the money, and now they have to go back and beg for it. It is a farce. The US media is hiding this from you. They want you to think the US is strong, when the US is collapsing under the weight of its own greed. Here is where it gets wild. The El Jalapeño. President Sheinbaum of Mexico is using her social media platforms to warn about the dangers of social media on kids. She posted this on X, Instagram, and TikTok. Why is this important? Because the US is addicted to the tech giants, and they are turning your children into products. The algorithms are designed to hook you, to keep you scrolling, to sell you shit you do not need. Sheinbaum is calling it out, but the US media is ignoring it. They are too busy selling you the latest iPhone while the schools are burning down. The tech companies in Silicon Valley are the new masters of the world, and they are worse than the old fascist machine. They are invisible masters. They are sucking the brain juice out of your kids. And the US media is too stupid to see it. They think the internet is freedom, but it is a prison. It is a cage of dopamine and rage. And the billionaires own the keys. They own the algorithms, and they are using them to manipulate your emotions, to keep you angry, to keep you buying. This is the new imperialism. It is not about boots on the ground anymore. It is about code ...
