  • The FBI isn't interested in helping you

    I take it you have recent cases in mind where the FBI has acted against the interests of Americans?

    ... it's impossible in reality to support both social and economic progress and neoliberal economics.

    Because ‘social and economic progress’ is a political brand. Largely the policies irl effects are detrimental to their goals. Obama knew this but jumped through the hoops anyway and was amazing at presentation.

  • It really isn't difficult to find a number of examples of the FBI entrapping otherwise innocent people, assisting in political assassinations and planning false flag terrorist attacks, to name a few of their interests. They're perhaps a while away from being as outrageously evil as the CIA but nonetheless are not the friends of the American people.

    I'm not sure I agree with your second point. Identity politics is useful to liberals like Obama not only because of the positive optics (how people are still falling for this shit is beyond me) but also because promoting individualistic culture wars has a divide and conquer effect. I guess we learned a lesson with Trump that the right is better at uniting against "PC gone mad" type junk than the "left" is at maintaining a coherent intersectional movement.

    Edit: The end result of these kinds of idpol led culture wars is unimportant to the guys pulling the strings as long as they keep everyone fighting with each other. Obama and the Democrats thought they could play the game without risk of reprisal but their assessment was clearly very off.

    Help me out. Point me to some examples, so I know this isn’t just baseless slite that supports your hypothesis. It’s not something I remember reading in UK press.

  • planning false flag terrorist attacks

    Please provide sources for this claim
