All nation-states are obsessed with defining and maintaining a static notion of "culture"

Nationalist ideas of "culture" simply do not exist b/c, despite the rhetoric, no "nation" is homogenous or unified. Hence, trying to define and enforce a "national culture" is always about power and violence

Seeing rainbow crosswalks makes me feel so nostalgic, like it’s a relic from a time when everyone used to be woke. Posted a racist comment somewhere? You’re canceled immediately, your workplace gets contacted and you’re fired the next day. Different times for sure.

Whatever makes you sleep at night buddy

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

It is time to admit that the colonization of Turtle Island has been an abject failure. Shoutout to anyone over there standing up for their communities. Your fight is right and gives a glimmer of hope towards a better future.

What Can We Hope For?

What Can We Hope For?

Yet the UK is still flying spy planes over Gaza for them. Just a bunch of meaningless posturing to make it seem like they’re doing something.

This does not support the artist!!

2 million Gazans are being purposely starved as we speak. It’s never been more clear that this IS a genocide, you stand alone.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

"Hey bro just twist this pipe for a few minutes, we're shooting some propaganda video"

Disgusting. I'm glad to have always ignored those banners of yours begging for money.

This is all by design! The empire knows the people are unhappy and restless, they just need to redirect that energy towards some other target.

essentially redirecting revolutionary energy away from actual change. That’s why you will often hear fascists actually make sense sometimes because they do have a good critique of capitalism sometimes, but then they end up missing the mark completely. 2/

One important thing to realize is that fascism didn’t just come out of nowhere, it was created as a direct reaction against the growing communist movement. It takes the language and ideas of the revolutionary left and transforms it into something anti-revolutionary, 1/

This is such a dark day for America. This was the last chance they had to pretend like they actually cared about the rule of law and not locking up innocent people, but instead they chose to double down and lie through their teeth. From now on there can be no mistake: These are concentration camps.

This is just controlled opposition by Democrats until proven otherwise. They are here to make disappointed blue voters feel like there's still hope, but in the end they're just a mouthpiece for Dem establishment, sucking away energy and attention from actual revolutionary movements.

I would also like to congratulate Mister Trump on his amazing work to achieve the degrowth targets that climate change activists had been begging for! By massively shrinking the economy we will reach our CO2 targets in no time!

I wish to extend my gratitude to Mister Donald Trump for his tireless work dismantling the evil American Empire, keep it up Donny!

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

"Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit. Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies."

Seeing Bradley Martyn host Andrew Tate is not surprising: Gym bro culture is all about creating the perfect body, my body is superior to others, I deserve to be high up in the hierarchy. The gym bro to alt-right pipeline is very real. And I’m a (leftist) gym bro myself, seen it a lot.

Our survival depends on it, especially now as we are blindly heading into the third World War while everyone is clapping.

those dictatorships around us us, this is at least worth fighting for” they say, as they are being led to their own slaughter. Humanity must contend with the system of representative democracy and nation states, as it clearly does not benefit humanity. 3/

next election, just look how quick the US changed. As long as some group within a nation gets enough votes they might just decide to use these same weapons for attacking their neighbors, and everyone will act all surprised! “B-but our nations are democratic they say, at least we are better than 2/

$840 billion plan to "Rearm Europe" announced The announcement by the European Commission comes as the U.S. put an immediate pause on American military aid to Ukraine.

If you only think within the constraints of nation state systems this surely seems like a great idea, more weapons to defend our nations against aggressors! However I cannot support this as long as we live under a system where nations can flip at any point as long as they get enough votes at the 1/

I'm trying it myself and I'm astounded, and I never really considered myself a problem user. I have a lot more to say about this, might write a long form article about it. But needless to say, we will never be free if we stay plugged in these hyperactive social media platforms.

I'm now of the opinion that all social media platforms are actively harmful, and yes that includes Bluesky. Try limiting your smartphone usage to essential things only for 1 week, you will be astounded how addicted you actually are and how much constant anxiety you are walking around with.
