CULTURCIDAL (John Hawkins) - Socialism vs. Performative Socialism
Is there even a difference anymore?
Everyone reading this has heard someone say, “Fake it until you make it.” That concept stems from the work of brilliant psychologists such as William James and Alfred Adler. The idea is that if you act AS IF you have traits like confidence or bravery long enough, you will start actually to embody them. This can be true. In fact, I’ve told people struggling to handle a situation to try to envision themselves acting like someone they admire in that situation. For example, if you’re a young conservative woman who admires Sydney Sweeney or Sophie Cunningham and you’re struggling to talk to people at a conference, try to behave like you imagine they would in the same situation. Suddenly you may find yourself chatting easily with…Open

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced sharp pushback from Republican lawmakers and a Trump administration official after claiming the House defense bill would fuse American and Israeli military forces, a characterization multiple officials called flatly dishonest.

She called the measure "an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy" and urged every member of Congress to vote no. The House passed the sweeping defense bill on a 219, 206 vote with the contested provision, Section 219, intact, Fox News Digital reported…Open

Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.), the co-chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, told Axios. - Another centrist House Democrat, speaking on the condition of anonymity to offer candid analysis, called the results an "earthquake" and a "huge defeat" for…
