Zohran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo to become NYC's Mayor. Yet Mamdani is neither the socialist the liberal left dreams of, nor the communist, Islamist, the right fears, but rather a character on stage.
Problem is the majority of peopleโs belief systems / cognitive spheres canโt comprehend that they are governed by a soft dictatorial (boiling frog) uni-party which at its core is evil beyond anything Hollywood could ever make up. The fact that the air they breath, food they eat, medicine they have imposed on them, the media they consume, their entertainment, the history they are taught, weather reporting and in many places the water they drink, is malevolently contaminated is just a bridge too farโฆ. โโฆwho could conceivably contrive such a monstrous scheme โฆโฆand why ever โฆ.?โ Even if told about it they archive that thought and want to get on with their busy lives. Change will only come when close to a majority (that have survived thus far) has lost everything and realize they have been sleepwalked into a techno gulag. People will fight when they have nothing left to lose. Right now we are in the gradual confiscation of life (and any beauty it embodies) process. We have a little ways to go
A superb conversation. Fiorella has a profound understanding of the theatrical aspect of what we are seeing, and that is very refreshing.
It 's nice to move away from discussing the actors on the reality tv show, and move towards discussing real problems, and solutions, outside of the control system.
Much thanks for letting us listen in. I appreciate the learning.
Being an old fucker, iโve seen this play out so many times now across the western political hemisphere now that i just canโt fathom how short memories are or how little historical context factors in to how people think about these situations. When did being a fucking ra ra pom-pom wielding cheerleader for the very system of oppression driving us towards some unimaginable future (I mean, itโs serving up a fucking brutal genocide as the fucking welcome cocktail. Whatโs the starter going to be?) become the epitome of political energy for change? All that said, i love the fire Fiorella. Keep โer lit!
This is so refreshing to hear your POV on Mamdani, and stomach turning at the same time seeing the wave of Mamdani cheerleaders coming out for this elitist.
Yes unfortunately. As NYC mayor, he has one significant input on the Israeli genocide in Gaza, which is how the city of New York treats protesters, e.g. at Columbia University. The Universities already have the federal government leaning on them (and largely caved by now), but the NYPD is also a significant lever which could to varying degrees tolerate or crack down on off-campus protests. It's reported Mamdani already agreed to keep the incumbent police commissioner who has a de-facto mandate to cover for Israeli crimes.
This is an excellent analysis of what Zohran Mamdani really is as a politician. Yes, they're just trotting out the old Obama playbook.
Months ago, I wrote a post saying almost the same thing, but I can't find it at the moment. I think it IS important, however, to note that Mamdani won in New York City for three main reasons:
1. NYC is too damned expensive to live in and Mamdani directly addressed that.
2. His main opponent is a douchebag scumbag who helped to create #1.
3. Israelis are a bunch of genocidal maniacs and anyone who supports them is meshuga.
Mamdani's election is a repudiation of genocide, imperialism, Zionism, and finance capitalism on the part of the people who live in the capital of Capital. That is a very good thing and must be built upon, but we must not EVER believe Democrats will do any of the building.
We're already living in the results of that particular error.
Lo miren como lo miren, USA dejarรก de existir y no serรก ningรบn enemigo el que los destruya o haga desaparecer, serรกn ellos mismos, teniendo de amigos como tienen a Netanyahu que se cree la raza divina y creada por Dios, el resto de la humanidad somos creados por el butanero, segรบn los judรญos.
It's also the script they are playing, because of loss of control of narrative on Isreal. And the farce of directing the attention on new scapegoats to anesthetize and lull people to forget atrocities committed in Gaza and elsewhere. Creation of an old whip of fear mongering to continue the crusades
Zohran appears backed by globalist, not zionist, so I don't think it's that coordinated. The zio opposition is probably real, it's just that globalist are enemies too.
Billionaires backed both sides. We have criminals that have to be imprisoned running as rulers, whether local governments or selected to occupy the Whitehouse. When people don't know who the domestic enemies are, both within governmental channels and corporations, the private/public partnerships, they are only sustaining the TYRANNY.
Thank you for this deep analysis! I have shared and posted to Notes. True resistance is essential! Politics in "democracies" devolves into a spectator sport as the gulf between the mechanisms of power move ever-farther from the "consumers" (formerly citizens).
Great analysis as always, Fam!
Mamdani is far more Obama or AOC than Eugene Debs or Paul Robeson.
Heโs no more than a player playing his part, he was approved long before he came onto the stage.

I hate him with a passion. A fucking multi millionaire quoting Eugene Debbs๐คฎ
Itโs good to squeeze the zit of anger into words. Right cathartic. https://crapp.substack.com/p/sabotage?r=b9soy

When Zohran shows his to colors, at least Isabelles credibility will increase.

$25 a hour US minimum wage wouldn't even break even from Americans $38 trillion debt repayments and interest on loan payments.
Loved the comment that Mamdani is 'the new flavor of air freshener.'

Zionists are globalists as well
All the globalists are Zionists.

You could be right. But why expect broad system wide change from a mere city mayor?
